Chapter 26 Breakups are Tough
She kept on silently walking away.
She wasn’t worried about running into Jett, he was definitely busy doing something, somewhere.
Finally she made it outside and slipped into the car.
She would have just called Davies but it would have taken him too long to get a car here for her and by then the damage would have been done.
After about thirty minutes since the ride began, her phone started ringing.
She reached for it quickly.
Could that be Els– My Christopher?
She didn’t remember saving his number that way. She didn’t remember saving his number at all or even requesting for it to begin with.
She watched it ring till the call ended.
She really didn’t want to speak to him.
Her phone dinged right after.
A text message.
It was from Chris and it read;
“I know things are rocky between us…”
Us? That was bold.
“But I need to know that you ran away and not that you were kidnapped.”
What a wierd question.
Before she could even stop herself, she fired him back a text.
“Smartly avoided confrontation.”
Her phone dinged.
A reply.
“You can’t keep running forever, Ivy.”
She swiped it locked. She wasn’t going to reply to that. She could almost hear his angry and frustrated voice in her head as she had read the text.
What was wrong with her?
A ding.
Another message from Christopher. She deliberated on leaving it unread but curiousity got the best of her.
“I’ll give you space for now but after that, we need to talk.”
She fired back.
“We are not talking, Chris! I don’t want to have anything to do with you. All that matters to me right now is Elsa and how I’ll get her back. To do that, I can’t be with you.”
Ding!
A reply.
“It’s too late for that already. Besides, are you not the one supposed to be mad. Amryelsa is the one in the wrong here, she doesn’t deserve you.”
She huffed in anger.
How dare he try to lecture her on who deserved to be in her life. Like as if he was certain he had a place in her life to begin with.
She sent a reply.
“I will be the judge of that. Just know that there is nothing in between us.”
The reply was fast, like a bolt if lightning.
“And last night?”
Her heart pounded in her chest, with her shaky fingers, she fired back a text.
“It was a mistake.”
There was no reply and she dropped her phone next to her, feeling like absolute shit.
Why was she feeling this way?
She started trying to trick herself into believing she was alright then she heard a ding.
A reply… from Chris!
She opened the message quicker than she had opened a message.
“Nice try, lol.”
There was another message.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“If you had waited, you would have had this in bed.”
Attached with the message was a picture of an absolutely tempting tray of food.
She looked away from the phone, conflicted about her whole situation.
She should block his contact, it was the wise and right thing to do.
She unlocked her phone, clicked on the options on the top corner of the chat, then she click on the “Block” options.
A confirmation message popped up.
‘Are you sure you want to block My Christopher?’
Honestly, no.
She wasn’t sure and because of that she didn’t.
Something was definitely really wrong with her.
Never had she felt so conflicted in her life.
Shs closed the check and opened Elsa’s to see if there was any change to her blocked status.
Nope.
Still there.
Ivy sighed tiredly, leaning further into her seat.
At least it was good that Elsa wasn’t trying to ruin her reputation on all social medias.
Elsa could be very crazy when she was angry.
She continued scrolling through the phone, trying to distract herself throughout the ride home.
***
Ivy didn’t want to care about whose fault this situation was. All she knew was that there was a conflict of interest.
They could fix this.
She knew it was an entirely crazy assumption but they had to fix it.
They were too close to just split like that over a man.
Immediately she got back, she had Davies drive her here.
Elsa’s house.
She took a step forward and clicked on the door bell which rang for the sixth time.
The gate keeper came out and after a couple of words that passed between them, Ivy confirmed that Elsa wasn’t truly home.
“Who is there? Ken, who is there, a guest for me?” Ivy heard Elsa’s aunt voice from inside the compound.
“No, ma.” The gatekeeper replied.
“Then who– Ivy?” A woman by the gate said. She was a tall, curvy and slightly plump woman, with a yellow large hat over her head, and long flare yellow gown to match. Her face molded with excessive makeup, her lips painted with bright red lipstick and different jeweleries around her neck and wrist,
“Hello, Aunt Alice. You are back.”
“I’m not like your parents. My work is there to serve me, not the other way around. Let’s talk about you. Whu are you here, when you should be all the way in Kosha with Elsa. She left yesterday day.”
“Oh, yes. How could I have forgotten?” Ivy forced a smile, trying to hide that anything was wrong. If not, Aunt Alice would find a way to rope her into giving her detailed explanation of how everything happened and the next thing, her parents would hear about everything.
Nah, no way she was letting that happen.
Aunt Alice smiled, “I thought as much since you do everything together.”
“Well, not anymore,” she muttered inaudibly underneath her breath. Then she bid Aunt Alice a goodbye, although she was too busy instructing Ken to lie to her husband when he arrived at night that she hadn’t return home.
As Ivy slipped into the backseat of her car and Davies started driving them back home.
She thought about everything.
Elsa went to Kosha without her?! That was a place they always visited together. How dare she go against their best friend pact.
The alone trip was Elsa’s way of saying she didn’t want to have anything to do with her again. Ever!
Although she might have been blinded to the red of the signs of this, this one was one she couldn’t ignore.
That was it.
An official friendship breakup.
Damn!
Nothing hurts more.
