"the dominoes cascaded in a line."
terribly sorry for the varying chapters that use proper grammar and capitalization and the others that are in all lowercase LMAO
"blake, please leave. i'm fine," serena groaned, face down on the couch after fernando left. she wouldn't admit it, but the hug they shared was very thoughtful. she felt safe.
"you didn't show up to work, you've missed 2 calls from aj, and you've been wailing for the past two hours. you're not good," he argued.
"please, i just need time."
"what made you sad?" he asked, "surely not macK, he sucks."
serena pursed her lips, afterward burying her head underneath a pillow.
"aww shit..." blake muttered. he probably just made her more uncomfortable.
the man finally sat down next to serena.
"come on, s. talk to me. i won't make anymore jokes."
"it's macK... again."
"goddamnit what now?"
serena flipped over just to send blake a glare.
"hey, i'm serious. he needs to stop being a little b-"
"he moved on."
"he's already got another chick!?"
"no. he's out partying."
"well, we can party too. we partied pretty hard last night with those donuts if i do say so myself..." he joked.
serena looked at blake with big eyes. her symbolic blue orbs were gray and sad.
"no, blake. he never loved me." she stated, regret in her voice, "he used me. he only liked me because i gave him confidence. but it was literally my job to gas him up. i should've known, blake."
silence was shared between them, before blake lightly voiced, "don't put this on yourself, serena. you're the best thing he's ever going to have and you know it."
serena swallowed.
"everybody loves you. losing one person who didn't see what he had should be the least of your worries. i promise."
silence, again.
blake then got up and walked towards the door, "i cant see you like this, s. but please promise me you won't sit here for the rest of the day. don't make yourself miserable."
the girl wiped her eyes off with her hoodie, barely nodding as blake left.
serena's head hit the leather couch as she sunk back down into it.
she was starting to get bored of looking at the ceiling. maybe blake was right. maybe she should get out. go for a walk, or something.
first, serena called aj and informed him she wouldn't be at the office today. he assured her he would get her appointments rescheduled for her. she thanked him, then got up and got dressed.
she threw on a pair of sweats and a little crop top, layering her leather jacket over it.
as serena began to lace up her shoes, she received a text message. it was from manny.
she opened her phone, and the words and image stung her eyes.
MANNY F*CKING MACHADO
Today 12:19
Serena You didn't tell me you guys called it quits 1 image
serena couldn't even bring herself to type out a response.
she thought seeing macK partying on instagram was bad.
but in the same night... not even 72 hours after ending things with serena he was already kissing another girl?
a really pretty one, for that matter...
she couldn't be sad anymore. her eyes wouldn't let her.
serena was such an emotional mess right now that every sense in her body was threatening to breakdown.
& it did.
