Breaking Up With Zain

Jenny's point of view…..

    I slowly opened my eyes with my head pounding seriously. I looked around and found myself inside a ranger rover sport with no one inside and I looked through car glass and found out I was an inch away from Zain's residence.

   Quickly, I started getting out of the car when I found the cheque Harrison gave to me and a note.

   "You will need this money. You don't have the right to reject it and the car is yours for a job weldon. Again remember, you can't go back to Zain after this. Walk in, tell him it's over and never look back if you are leaving, when you are done call this number and your kids will be home before you and less I forget, your mom is home, safe and sound. The ball is in your court, don't play smart"

   My anger was overboard and I felt like separating Harrison's head from his neck. It's just the nerve for me.

   I took in several breaths, I stepped out of the car and stood until a millionth seconds had passed before proceeding inside the residence with a pounding heart.

   As I walked in I prayed not to walk into June or Thomas. Who knows how worried they are right now.

  Standing in front of the main door, my tears welled and my resolve shattered. How in the world am I going to look Zain in the face and tell him it is over between us? I am sure by now, the tape would have been sent to him and that's a huge shame for me.

  He would never forgive me. 

I sniffed back my tears and wiped my face dry"it's now or never"

   I said stepping into the house after cracking the door open. I wondered why in the world they would not lock up their door. Is it kind of a Hollywood thing?

   I headed right into Zain's room but guess what? I ran into an old enemy, Ava. 

  She has a look of surprise on her, not only her but Emma too, the She-devils back then in high school. They made my life and Tasha's life miserable all because I refused to date Ava.

  "What is she doing here by the way?"

I asked myself before looking up at her.

   "I can't believe I kept running into the two losers, what a world? One left this morning and another just appeared?"

She said spitefully with a puffed cheek and raised shoulders.

 If I heard her correctly, she just talked about Tasha and if what she said is true then Tasha left this morning.

  That's huge.

"Ava! What a surprise! You know Zain too?"

I asked and she scoffed," you are are too dumb. Zain is my cousin and I am here to visit."

I nodded and made to walk past her"hold on? Where are you going?"

  "Ava, none of your business. Now let me pass"

I said and she shrugged off her shoulders before letting off my sleeve.

  "Loser, If your friend was here earlier. It's comprehensive that you will be here too. Two days, my sister in- law died, we have b*tches flocking around Zain"

  Her words hit me painfully but I decided not to act on it, I am hurting already and to add another hurt, it will finish me up completely.

  I shook my head and proceeded towards Zain's room.

   With the little courage left, I opened the door and my life shattered at the scenes playing before me. 

   Zain was smoking and drinking the life out of himself. The whole room was in a mess. His bed scattered, books scattered and broken mirror glass everywhere on the floor. He was bleeding on his right hand knuckles, he punched something I guess.

  I rushed in and snatched the bottle of whiskey and cigars off his grip.

  "Are you mad or something?"

    I screamed and he raised his face up to look at me. What I saw was the shallow self of Zain. The Zain I know was completely gone. He has seen the tape and it's affecting him so much. I would never have thought that he would be affected this much.

  "He loves you very much, Jenny"

My subconscious mind said and I wanted to cry and explain myself but I can't. If I don't do this, Mitchell and Michael will die and Zain too.

  So I will have to find a reason to convince myself that I am doing the right thing. I am doing this because I love him.

  "Did I hurt you so bad that the only way to pay me back was to cheat on me and send me the tape?"

He said hurtfully, not making an attempt to take his eyes off my face.

   I kept quiet and stared at his sad face.

He bit his lower lip and struggled to stand up, he fell back on his butt but made another attempt and this time around he succeeded.

  He approached me slowly and the next thing he did was to crushed his lips on mine.
