Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)
Chapter 77: Daring Distance
EMMA’s POV :
By 9 PM, I gave up.
I never felt so humiliated in my life.
I asked for the check and paid for the four glasses of mocktail I had and left a nice tip for my waiter.
The hostess smiled a sad smile as she saw me walking out of the restaurant alone.
I just wanted to crawl into a hole and die.
I went back to the apartment because I didn't know where else to go.
I saw my reflection in the mirror when I walked in and I looked so pathetic.
I did my hair and make up, I put on a dress and everything, only to be stood up by him at my birthday.
I was angry, embarrassed, and frustrated.
But mostly I was sad.
I thought tonight would be special, but no.
It was just any other day for Ian.
He had other things that were more important and I just had to take the back seat.
Feeling stupid, I took off the dress and put on an oversized sweater instead.
Tears were running down my face and it totally ruined my make up, but who cares? It wasn’t like it was important anyway.
I scrubbed my make up off angrily and pulled my hair into a messy ponytail.
I looked around the empty apartment and I debated on what to do.
I could stay here and wait until he gets home and hear about how sorry he was that he missed my birthday dinner, and tomorrow he'll go to work and ignore me again completely.
Or… I could pack my bags and leave.
There was a train running between Philly and New York City every day and if I leave now, I could make it before the last train leaves.
I didn’t think too much about it, I knew what I had to do.
I couldn't believe what I'm saying, but I needed some space away from him.
It would be better for us both.
My heart was hurting too much and I couldn't take it anymore.
So, I quickly packed my bags and I wrote him a note.
Dear Ian, You don’t have to apologize.
I know you're busy and I'm not a priority at the moment, and that’s okay, I understand.
But I think it’s best I leave so you can focus on your work.
No hard feelings.
Emma.
It sounded petty, but whatever.
I was too upset to be nice.
My uber was now waiting for me downstairs and I took a moment for one last glimpse of the apartment.
Leaving the spare key on the kitchen counter, I turned off the lights and closed the door shut.
I turned off my phone for the rest of the night.
I didn’t wanna hear any more ‘I'm sorry’ or ‘I'll make it up to you’.
I had enough of his empty promises.
I was tired of all that.
I put up with it all summer long and I needed an out.
At least when we were far away and he was busy with work, I didn’t have to feel this hurt because I could blame the distance.
