and to be a bitch I delivered them to Heather with the card that he had written
about her being a mistake. I guess I just wanted her to know that she really
wasn’t anything special. He was there and from the looks of it I once again
interrupted their fuck-fest…” I paused to blow my nose. “Can you believe that
she wasn’t the first person, hell she wasn’t even the second. He has been
cheating for over a year. I am just lost…I don’t know why this happened.”
Allison tucked my hair that had fallen in my face behind my ear, “You know what
Sam…you were always too good for him. I love you honey but you were and you
know it. You don’t deserve this heartache. He is not worthy of your tears. I
think that you need to go on your trip next week and get away for a while. You
paid for it…the insurance…cancel his and get your money back then go relax…and
take care of you. You need a break and you’re not going to get it here. I’ll
make sure he gets the rest of his things out and then when you get back you can
start over. I am not saying it’s going to be easy but sweetheart you deserve a
new start.”

Arriving on
flight 248 in Montego Bay, Jamaica it took a lot of persuasion to get me here
but now that I was I made a promise to myself. I was going to say goodbye to
that lying cheating bastard because I had to move forward no matter what. There
was absolutely no way in hell I would ever take him back so why waste any more
time on his sorry ass.
I took a photo of
the front of my hotel and forwarded a message onto Allison letting her know I
had arrived. ‘Now get drunk and get tan! That is an order!’ That was
the response I received from my best friend. So following orders I did just
that. I spent the next five days on the beach and by the pool. I ordered drinks
and ate exotic foods. I got a massage and even took a few long strolls on the
beach. I tried to not think much of Tony it was getting a little easier to keep
my mind away from him because I would constantly remind myself of exactly what
got us to our current status. He can’t keep his dick in his pants apparently.
No matter how much I loved him I could never forget what he did or forgive him.
He would now be a part of my past and I would close that chapter.
When I arrived
back home from my vacation Allison picked me up from the airport. “Damn Hot
stuff…look at you! All tan and sexy! Did you change your hair?” I took a spin
to show her my hair I had it layered and had red highlights added throughout my
brown. I had long layered bangs that lie perfectly across my forehead and
swooped in place behind my ear. “Do you like?” I winked at her and picked my
bag back up as she stepped forward and reached out to run her hands through my
hair. “Like…oh darling I love…” She wrapped her arms around me and squeezed. “I
missed ya babe. You look Beautiful!” A tear ran down her cheek and she quickly
swiped it away before spinning toward the exit and to her car.
Over the next
week I decided to take the money I had from the reimbursement of Tony’s part of
the trip and do some redecorating. I painted and got some new bedding, throw
pillows and some pictures for the walls. I needed to change it up a bit and
make it feel different there. I had to erase the memory of Tony as much as
possible. I had done a great job avoiding my mother and I hoped to keep it that
way. She wanted to blame me for Tony’s inability to be faithful and I refused
to go down that road with her.
On Sunday the
night before I had to go back to work I decided to make a quick run to the
store and grab what I would need for the week. I was finished shopping and went
through the nearest checkout without paying much attention I hadn’t looked in
front of me. I suddenly felt as if someone was
