myself, this is not how I envisioned my week to be going. I kept checking my phone anxiously waiting for Rachael to call. It was nearly two in the morning and I have yet to hear from her. As I prepped myself to go to sleep I hear my phone start to ring 'Blocked Number' read across the screen, and I picked it up without further hesitation.
"Rachael, how are you?"
A raspy voice came across the speaker "Hey Kev. I just wanted to say sorry. You shouldn't have to deal with that."
"It's fine, don't worry about it. As long as your okay, everything fine." I reassured her.
What I heard next really struck my heart chords, she responded with a simple "Love you." and hung up the phone.
The biggest smile I have ever made covered my face in joy. I look at the disconnected phone and said out loud "Love you too." Giving the phone a peck on the screen.
The next morning, I rushed out of the house in excitement. It was our big day we were going to start our life together. I knocked continuously on her front door until I got her to answer.
"Jeez, Kev. You need a hobby." She joked.
"Come on, get David and lets go home." I answered in a rush.
"Just hold on. I have to get our stuff."
"We will just get new stuff. Come on, come on." I started pulling her out of her unit.
Laughing at me she said "Okay, okay." "Come on Dave," she screamed as I continued to pull her towards the truck. We all piled into the truck and I began racing over to Sand Dollar Shores.
As we were entering the neighborhood I noticed a semi in the road and rushed down to the house in excitement. The furniture company was there to deliver all of the furniture. I opened the door to the house to let everyone in, the furniture guys started to move in all of our furniture. I looked at Rachael and she was glowing in joy, David on the other hand seemed rather emotionless about the whole situation. It didn't phase me, he was just there as collateral damage so I could have Rachael. I will worry about that later.
"Come on, let's just go wait on the back porch." I suggested while opening the door to lead the way.
Rachael and I were sitting on the railing of the porch snuggling and whispering cute complements to each other when I noticed David staring at us and he seemed aggravated at the sight of us together.
"Everything okay David?" I asked with concern and it seemed to of broken a trance that overcame him
“Yeah, yeah. I just don't want to...I am going to go for a walk." He responded with a bit of regret.
David walks off the back porch and onto the sandy white beach that stretched for miles.
I see Rachael put her arm around her stomach and bend over. "Rachael, are you getting sick again?" A look of concern covered my face.
"Mmmhmm." She responded while nodding her head.
"Where's the stuff from yesterday? I'll go get it." I asked while heading towards the inside of the house.
"It's all gone." she said hesitantly hanging her head in shame.
"You used all that?" I asked in utter disbelief.
"Yeah Kevin, I AM an addict." She reiterated that point. "I told you if you don't want to deal with me, I'll just go back home."
"No no no no, I was just asking babe. Relax, I will call Pete." I did what I did the day before called Pete told him it was for Rachael and he was on the way.
"How in the world did you afford this habit?" I inquired genuinely.
"Oh you just thought I liked fucking every guy that comes at me?" She stated sarcastically. "Between Toni's and David stealing and conning we made it happen. It's just a sad vicious cycle." She started to break down into tears. "I just don't know what to do anymore, I can't even look proudly at myself in the mirror."
I coddled her,putting her head on my shoulder. "Shhhh, it will all be okay." Then I hear an ominous unfamiliar ringtone coming from her purse. "Who could that be?"
No response as she wipes away the tears trickling down her face.
She reluctantly answered the phone, "Yeah?"
