Chapter sixteen
Matt
Novah comes walking out of the building looking stressed as ever. Her eyes are red, there's not much color in her face and her bitch of a roommate is trailing behind her.
She comes running into my arms.
"Baby, are you okay?"
I hug her long and hard. She presses her face against my chest, sniffling into it.
She looks up at me innocently.
"Please, tell me you didn't do it,"
Her eyes are red and there's still hope in her eyes even after what happened with us last weekend.
"Yeah, lie to her, Matt. Cause that's all you fucking do,"
Skylars arms are crossed and her face is twisted and red.
She hates me to the core. I mean, many people do, but Skylar. I can tell I hold a special place deep down in her heart.
She fucking hates me. I tolerate her more than most just because she was Jon's girlfriend but now.....now I'm fucking done.
"Real mature, Skylar. To lie to Novah about this. I would never do this to her car. I've already arranged for you to get new tires. Okay, baby?"
She sniffles against my chest which I'm guessing is approval. She's had a tough weekend. Especially what with uncovering shit I've done in the past.
"Novah, why the hell should you trust his word, huh? Crazy how all this is coming from the same guy who lies to you about everything,"
"Skylar shut the fuck up. You don't know half the shit you're talking about,"
"Oh really? Tell Novah where you were. Who you were with,"
Novah looks up at me and her bottom lip starts quivering.
I can see her eyes start to water.
Why do I have to keep watching my baby's heart break before my eyes?
"Matt, please, please, tell me you weren't with another woman,"
"Novah, you're the only woman who I want to be with,"
She pushes me back. "Matt, why.....why do you keep doing this?"
She backs away slowly just as I spot Jon's car pulling into the parking lot.
If he gets out of his car I'm beating his ass. I know he came here earlier.
I know he has eyes for my Novah.
Everything is falling apart.
