| SOMEONE SOMEWHERE SOON WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU by Enola PART 9 “What a bitch!” you snap out several moments later, “How could I be so stupid?” you add looking at Shane, “You understood everything at once and what about me? She’s managed to cheat me so cleverly! She’s right…I’m just a poor idiot!!” “Don’t be so severe with you! You aren’t the only one who’s been cheated!” says Shane leaning his hand on your shoulder, “Don’t worry, I won’t allow her to get away with it!” “Thanks Shane, but I have to deal with it by myself this time!” you smile slightly, then you put your coat on, “Where are you going?” asks Shane, “I know where to find her!” you reply, so you go out. In a half an hour you arrive at James’s flat. You hit the door full of rage with your fists several times till the door opens. “Monica?” says James in amazement, “What…” “Where is that bitch?” you cut him off pushing him away to allow you to enter, he tries to stop you, but you are too quick and you walk in on Valerie who doesn’t notice you. She’s lying over the sofa sopping a whisky, “Here you are!” you say aloud and she turns as soon as she hears your voice, “Monica? What are you doing in here?” she asks surprised, “Why did you do this to me?” you ask in anger, “Monica…I don’t know what you are talking about!” she giggles nervously getting up. “You’re just a fucking liar!” James, who has entered the room in the meantime, intervenes annoyed, “Monica, what’s the matter with you?” “Why don’t you ask your dear friend about it?” you reply glancing at him, “James, I don’t have a clue what she means!” she titters, “It wasn’t easy to persuade auntie Olivia to get rid of that poor idiot, but she got the idea in the end…doesn’t sound familiar to you?” “I have never said those words!” she remarks firmly, “You’re the faker and viler person I have ever met! Having James wasn’t enough, you had to take even my job!” “OOH! Everything is clear now. You’re just jealous…” “No, no…you didn’t understand anything…” you giggle, “…you want James?…Fine…keep him! I don’t give a shit about him! You can even shag him a hundred times par day, I don’t care at all!” Then after a short pause you add, “Jealous? I don’t see why I should be jealous of a slut like you!” She slaps your face hard, but the only thing you feel is a deep satisfaction, “Bang! I hit the target!” Before you can realise it, James has grasped your arm with strength, “I’ve had enough of you! Are you insane?” he says harshly, “How dare you come here and sling mud at her?” “You believe her…” you say in amazement not only because of his words extremely hard, but above all because of the tone of his voice, “How can you be so blind to her deceitfulness?” “Cut it out! I’ve heard even too much. GO AWAY!” he says aloud pointing at the door. You look at Valerie for a while and you see a satisfied smirk on her face that makes you sick. There are so many things you’d like to tell her, but you are aware that they’d just worsen the situation. You turn and take a step towards the door, then you stop because there is something you want to say. Something you want to tell James before leaving, so you turn again and looking at him you start speaking quietly with a hint of disappointment, “You know James, I thought I knew you, but I was wrong. The truth is that I’ve just realised how superficial you are. But it’s a well-known fact that a man loses his head when a woman opens her legs.” Now that you have told him that, you can leave. You are disappointed and you feel defeated, but you have to snap out of it. You can just look ahead trying not to think about all that has just happened. When you go back home, you go straight to the lounge where you hope to find Shane. Luckily he’s there. You sit on the sofa next to him, but he doesn’t say anything as he’s probably understood everything from the expression on your face. “She denied everything!” you breathe, “Damn her!” he snaps out, “And James?” “He simply defended her” you reply quietly, “I was the evil, she the saint! She won. There’s nothing else to say!” “I can’t believe that!” he says shaking his head in disbelief, “He’ll open his eyes…” “I don’t care at all about him!” you remark cutting him off, “I know what you mean” he says in a caring way leaning his arm on your shoulder, “I have to leave Shane. Can’t stay here, not with her under the same roof…and I need another job!” “Don’t worry about that. I’ve found you a job once, I can do it again!” he smiles sweetly, so you smile him back and hold him, “Thank you Shane. YOU are a true friend!” The day after, in the afternoon, you return to ‘The House’ after having spent the night in a hostel to pick up your stuff. You go away without tell Olivia anything since you don’t feel talking to her at all. During the following days you go to ‘the House’ only when you’re sure not to find Valerie in there because Shane always phones you to tell you when you can go there. You’ve noticed the kids are quite sad because you don’t live there anymore and you only spend a couple of hours with them not every day. They hate Valerie as they have known that it’s her fault if you left. As Shane promised, he’s managed to find you another job. Now you work at Ian’s pub as a waitress, which it’s not that good, but it’s a job and you content yourself with it. One evening, while you are working, James arrives and as there’s no table free, he sits at the bar. You do your best to ignore him, and when you have to go to the bar to take drinks you always go to the opposite side, that is as far as possible from him. “James said he wants to talk to you” Ian tells you when you go to the bar, “I don’t know anyone with that name!” you reply, so you go back to serve. Some minutes later, Ian tells you that James won’t go away without having talked to you before, so you say you don’t care at all about that and you’re sure he’ll change his mind when he’ll have got tired of waiting. A couple of hours later he’s still there and you have to admit that his presence annoys you pretty much. While you are at the bar, suddenly you hear his voice behind you, “I need to talk to you” As you turn you realise from his breath he’s been drinking a lot and you don’t like that at all, so you simply go away from him saying, “Fuck off!” He manages to grasp your arm, so you are obliged to stop. You turn to face him and you say with anger, “Fuck James, I’m working. I’ve already lost my job, which was everything to me, because of that whore you shag night and day, and now I don’t have any intention to lose this one because of you! So just fuck off!!” A minute later you notice he’s not there anymore, so you are finally relieved. Some minutes later you go to the loo. To reach the ladies you have to enter a kind of small anteroom where there is a door for the ladies and one for the gents. Having used the loo you grasp the handle of the anteroom door to go out, but suddenly someone grasps you arm and a while later you are pushed against the wall. You are face to face with James now, as you try to push him away he grasps your wrists immobilising you. You are totally unable to move. Your legs are slightly parted and his right leg is between them, partially bent so that his knee is against the wall. He’s as tall as you now, his face is just a few inches from yours. “Valerie was right, you’re just jealous of her…” he begins roughly, “you are jealous of her ‘cos she’s got a life…something you don’t have…something you have never had…stop playing the part of the miserable child and bring yourself to grow up…you’re jealous of her ‘cos she has ME…but you can have me like anyone else…you can have me even at once…I can fuck you right now if it’s what you want…it’d make no difference to me…it’d be just a simple shag like all the others…” -…his voice and his words are sharper than a knife. Suddenly you are in front of a total stranger. You wonder where the hell is that nice guy you met 5 months ago; that shy, sensitive, caring guy who begged you not to ever change, who disguised himself as Santa at Christmas, that sweet guy who was stroking his dog, stroking his little friend…- A few moments later, he’s kissing you roughly to force you to open your mouth, but as you manage you keep it shut after a while he lips move over neck, “You want this, don’t you?” he says with a throaty voice in your ear. He’s scaring you shitless now and you manage to speak no words while tears are rolling down your face, but a while later you manage to whisper something, “Noo…pl…please…s…stop!!” Suddenly, he stops and lets your wrists go, then he keeps still and silent in front of you for a while, but you don’t have the strength to look at him, you push him away and leave.
