Hope

Age 18

"It's over, Hope. I don’t want you anymore. This was one huge mistake ..."

My brows furrowed as I tried to contemplate what the fuck Jordan had just said to me. "Are you serious … I mean seriously?"

Jordan remained by with his back to my bedroom door, and for the first time in my life, he looked like a complete stranger to me.

Nodding stiffly, he said in a cold tone, "I'm serious."

I exhaled heavily – every ounce of air left my body – and my lungs felt like they had been set on fire. Pain coursed through me. I couldn’t speak. I could only shake my head and gape in horror.

"Something happened in Idaho when you went to collect your mother, didn’t it?" I blurted out, my brain suddenly clicking into gear. "With your mom?"

When he didn’t answer I said, "With Paul?"

Jordan's nostrils flared, his face turned red, and for the first time in my life I was afraid of him.

"I'm not your father, Hope," Jordan sneered as he moved away from the door and strode towards me. "That perfect love?" He leaned forward, getting in my face. "You won't get that from me."

"What are you talking about?" I sobbed, feeling incensed and fucking gutted. "Why are you behaving like this?"

"Because I'm not the person you think I am," Jordan all but roared in my face. "It's over, Hope. We're done, okay? Don’t push for more. You don’t want to know the truth."

"I do," I shot back angrily, as my temper flared. "Tell me. Give me a goddamn explanation for why you're behaving like this?"

Jordan remained silent and that's when I lost it.

"Fine," I screamed. "Suit yourself, Jordan," I cried. "Ruin your whole life! Wreck mine! Be the fucking asshole that’s deep inside you."

Grabbing my neck, Jordan dragged me forwards and plunged his lips to mine. The second his mouth touched mine, I lost a little of myself, but I soon found my senses.

Pushing him roughly away, I raised my hand and slapped him across his face. My hand stung, but I refused to show weakness.

"Don't ever touch me again," I spat, furious. "You think you can put that mouth on me? After what you just said?"

I shook my head in despair and blinked back the tears that were filling my eyes. "Give me something," I croaked out, staring up at the only boy I had ever loved. "This isn’t you. Tell me. Tell me!"

Every inch of his body shook as he now blocked me out, pushed me away "I don’t love you, Hope," he hissed, jabbing his finger in my face. "Happy now? You were a fucking mistake and I want out."

Lowering his head, Jordan Porter looked me directly in the eyes and said: "I. Don’t. Want. You."

I stood, frozen to the spot, my heart shattering in my chest as Jordan removed a folded brown envelope from his pocket and tossed it on the floor at my feet before leaving my room.

When I realized what that envelope held, the broken pieces of my heart turned to stone, my legs gave way beneath me and I crumpled to the floor.
