All Chapters of Help! I'm In Love - Journeys of Love, Life & Lessons: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next morning I wake up with a severe headache. No wonder, considering the amount of alcohol I drank, I probably deserved it. Did that really all happen last night or was I just dreaming? Did I actually accept Ryan's offer? Did he really kiss me? It felt so real. I turn in my bed and check my alarm clock. Oh Lord. It's already twelve o'clock and I'm still in bed. I quickly sit up and check my cell phone watch again. It is actually twelve o'clock. And my question as to whether that was real yesterday is also answered. My cell phone shows me five calls from Ryan and two messages. I open the first message:

I'm glad Ryan doesn't have to take care of me for the next few hours because I really need a little break because I was really bothered by how it went after sex. Anyway, it turns out that his colleague, Mr. Milbrook, is a very pleasant person. He has dinner with me and Melanie and tells us a few things about himself. After that he watches TV with us and it's really fun as he always makes a few comments that make me laugh. "So I'm going to bed. The sobering up today was really very exhausting, "says Melly and then goes to bed. Somehow I'm not tired at all. "And was your sobering up that exhausting too?" Asks Mr. Milbrook. It's kind of weird that we're still Siezen, after all, he spends every day here. &l

I grimace at the words because they're a total lie, but Melly will do it for me and then all I have to do is convince Ryan of it. After my bags are packed, I still do my homework and then I can already hear Ryan entering the apartment. Okay, take a deep breath, Kate, you can do it. Just keep smiling, it has worked for years. Before Ryan comes into my room, he knocks for the first time since I've known him. "Hello beauty," he says in a good mood and my motivation is gone. Why is he making it so difficult for me today? Can't he be in a bad mood like always? When he sees my suitcase, his mood changes. Crap. "What are the suitcases for?"

Ten minutes later we come to a stop in a parking lot. I know this place. The parking lot belongs to Stancy's Bar, a really good bar where there is always something going on and where you really always have fun - at least when you are with the right people. "You won't get to know other men." Ryan orders me around again. "Why not?""Because you are mine."

I walk to the elevator and quickly get in and hit the button that says E for first floor. I have to get out of here very quickly. Once at the bottom I walk out of the lobby and luckily Marc is no longer there, he probably thinks that I'm with Ryan at the moment. Thought wrong. Without thinking I just walk down the street, I don't know where to go, but I don't care. I knew that Ryan could really be an ass, but with the best of intentions I wouldn't have thought he would do that. Proof that I don't know him at all and I don't want to change that now. I try to wave a taxi to me on the side of the road, at some point one stops and I let myself be driven to my home. The tears have dried and I'm tired of crying fu
