cafe

Jasmine was patiently waiting at Starbucks for her boyfriend Carl. He told her to meet him there an hour ago; she wondered why he wasn’t there yet. Jasmine gets her phone out of her purse so she can call him. Carl answers and tells her he is running late but that he will be there soon and then hangs up.

“That’s strange, how come he didn’t even let me speak,” said Jasmine to herself. She finds a way to distract herself while she waits; she gets on snapchat and watches everyone’s story. When she watches Carl’s story she notices that Victoria is in it. At this point she is furious because Carl told her that he wasn’t talking to her anymore. Victoria has been the main topic of their arguments. Jasmine puts her phone down and attempts to calm down, when she finally does Carl and Victoria walk in the café together holding hands. Was Jasmine imagining this? Carl and Victoria sit in the seats in front of Jasmine. Jasmine looks at both of them and starts laughing.

“Are you kidding me,” asked Jasmine.

“No,” said Victoria.

“I have been waiting for the right time to tell you,” said Carl.

“Oh so you choose the day before our three year anniversary,” asked Jasmine.

“I know it isn’t what you want, but it is what I want,” said Carl.

“You are so pathetic Carl, I gave you everything for you to just let me go for that piece of trash,” said Jasmine.

“I will not sit here and let you insult me,” said Victoria.

“I don’t care you are irrelevant,” said Jasmine.

“Don’t talk to her like that Jasmine,” said Carl.

“I don’t care about her right now; we have been together for three years and she comes out of nowhere and is all of a sudden better than me, what kind of shit is that,” yelled Jasmine. People in the café start to look at her. Jasmine didn’t care right now she was furious.

“Does she even know about the baby,” asked Jasmine.

“Shut up Jasmine,” said Carl.

“What baby,” asked Victoria.

“I am two months pregnant with his child and he wants me to get rid of it, oh and it’s probably so he can be with you,” said Jasmine. Victoria looked at Carl before she got up and left. Carl tried to chase her down but she managed to escape.

“What did you do Jasmine, you messed this up for me,” said Carl.

“Messed it up for you, you just ruined my life, I wasted three years of my life for nothing, I put so much effort into this relationship for nothing, and now I am pregnant with your child but I want you to have no part in my baby’s life,” said Jasmine with tears in her eyes.

“I will never stop caring about you Jasmine,” said Carl.

“I don’t need your pity now Carl, I will be fine without you, maybe even better, I wish you the best with Victoria but don’t ever try to get in contact with me,” said Jasmine.

She took off her promise ring he gave her and set it on the table.

“I hope you remember that I gave you everything when you had nothing, I was here for you when you had no one. I really hope Victoria makes you happy,” said Jasmine as she walked out of the café.
