Chapter 1 - Congratulation

Isabella Clark

"Belle you forgot your jacket!" Kelsie, my manager called my name before I successfully rushed out of the changing room.

"Oh yup," I said, turning my body around to grab my denim jacket that I accidentally left on the chair.

"Don't forget you have a busy schedule next week," she reminded me.

"There is always a busy schedule, thank you anyway!" I whined before I grabbed my jacket from her hand. I check the time on my my phone screen that has a background of my boyfriend. And boy... I am terribly late.

"Okay Belle take care." Kalsey saya while looking at me.

"You too,"  I ran out of the changing room, running down the hall towards the lobby where the car supposed to pick me up.

I hope that I won't get stuck in the middle of a traffic jam because first, I hate it and second, I really don't want to be late. Well..., I know that I'm technically already late right now but at least , in my prediction if there won't be any traffic jam, I still can watch him play for half of the geame. I'm dating a famous football player, Anthony Harvey. We've been dating for three years and he loves it when I come to his game.

I reached the end of the hall which is the lobby, there I found my bodyguard Toby is already waiting for me. I always have my bodyguard around whenever I have to go out in public. Toby has to help me to get into my car because there are so many people from the media and fans are waiting outside, everyone is calling on my name asking me for a pictures and stuff. I felt sorry for them but I couldn't miss my boyfriend's game, so I got in to my car then left the building right away. I really hope that I will make it on time.

Once I got into the stadium, I put on the V.I.P. card to get into the backstage where I can meet Anthony; I can't wait to surprise him. The previous day, I told him that I couldn't come, but all I wanted to do is surprise him. I hope he'll likes my little surprise.

I scanned my I.D. into the scanner then walk inside, I walk down the long white hall then went straight into the changing room. By this time I knew the game is over and his team won, I found the news from twitter and I hate the fact that I missed it. Three years dating him means I know, what they usually do after winnimg the game. They must be planning to celebrate their success in a bar together so I already prepared some clothes to get into the bar with him. I know we're going to party hard tonight, it's clearly going to be a good night for the both of us. He won the game, I finished my job, it's a total win win.

"Hi Bell!" Jackson, one of his teammates suddenly greet me.

"Hey, Jack. Congrats," I congratulated him.

"Thank you!" he replied with a smile on his face, I can tell that he's over the moon.

"So are you coming to celebrate?" He asked.

"Yeah of course! But first, I have a surprise for Anthony," I said.

"Oh yeah of course," he chuckled nervously, "he's..., Um, in the locker room," He started running his hand through his blonde hair. For some reason, he looks nervous. And I also knew he is hiding something.

"Okay...." I said, still suspicious, "is everyone there too?"

"No... You know he's always the last person who takes a shower and it automatically made him the last person who left the room... And since he's the last one in to take a shower, it probably means he's still in there, doing stuff... Like showering... You know?" he ranted, making me more suspicious about his nervous behavior. Wait, is he trying to hide something...?

"Okay thank you Jackson, see you." I said before started to walked into the locker room.

I walked down the hallway until I finally reach the locker room, the door is opened and just like what Jackson said that everyone has left. I slowly took steps towards the door, getting ready to surprise him, but instead, the one who got surprised is me.

"Oh, baby! Congratulations on that awesome win!" a sweetly sickening female voice came.

And that moment I knew, the last thing I would've not imagine happen right in front of my eyes.

All signs added up to it. His distant behavior, him not replying to my texts, and Jack's nervous behavior. That asshole is cheating on me. Now I had to decide, would I be the sweet-little-heart-broken baby about it, or the badass bitch.

I look inside and I found what I expected, Anthony. Sitting there with a brunette girl on his lap, he is looking up into her eyes while the girl's hand is stroking his hair. His eyes are sparkling and his lips curved into a smile, the girl is comfortably sitting on his lap while talking with him like they are in love.

The way that ass hole looking at her is clearly, just like how the way he used to look at me, full of love. It hurts me right on the chest, I feel like my heart had shattered in pieces. I try to see who the girl is, but all I can see is her back.

"Congratulations baby," the girl once more stated, then attached her lips to my ex-boyfriend's lips like a leach.

My legs are shaking and sweat started to come out of my forehead, it all felt fallacious. My hands are also shaking, but I have to stay strong, I should be a fighter, not a loser.

"Thank you," Anthony said, breaking apart from that wrecked kiss.

"Do you want any gift?" The girl asked in a flirty tone.

"Of course!" he exclaimed.

"Too bad I didn't bring one," the girl laughed in a flirty tone.

From the way the girl laughs her voice seems so familiar for me like I have heard it before.

"You can always give me some," he said, obviously referring to it.  My vision got blurry right away, knowing that a hot tear is about to fall from my eyes, I quickly stopped it from falling. There's no way my make-up is getting ruined because of that bastard. And also, I need to look good for my grand entrance.

"Not here, It's a public spot!" she exasperated.

"No one is here," he said cheekily.

I grabbed my phone then begn to call his number, I can hear that his phone is ringing but surprisingly he rejected it.

"Is it her?" The girl asked annoyed. Oh, so this bitch knew!

"No, it's nobody" he said.

I turn around before started to run away from the locker room. I can't believe he betrayed me, I can't believe that my long term boyfriend is cheating on me. I tried to wipe my tears away, which are now streaming down my face. I guess my plans of doing that badass bitchy entery were ruined, huh?

It is 7am in the morning, and I keep staring oit of the glass wall next to my bed with my heavy eyes. It is pretty early in the morning and I'm not feeling good, thought it'll be a usual hungover but turns out it even worse. My nose is stuffy, my eyes are probably swollen from cryimg, my body feels like it just hit by a bus, and I don't even want to look in the mirror because I know I'm probably look like a zombie.

I haven't texted him since that night 'cause my heart is too broken to text him. But he hasn't texted me too. I haven't even looked into my phone since last night, I wish that it was all just a dream but it wasn't.

I begin to check on my phone and there are pictures, and news of him leaving a club with another woman flooded my social media. The picture isn't so clear for anyone but it is crystal clear to me. The same brunette girl that I saw in the locker room with him is none other than one of my closest friends.

I'm scrolling over the timeline while the tears kept falling from my eyes, I turn on the tv in my bedroom just to make my condo not sound so empty.

Kelsie's name suddenly appeared on my phone screen and I instantly knew she must have heard the news.

"Hey?" I said with a low, depressed tone.

"I'm outside your apartment, Belle." she said then I slowly got up and walk into the main white door.

I open the door and found her standing there in a cream colored coat while holding two Starbucks frappuccino. She looks at me with a frown before pulling me into a hug. I must've looked like a crap.

She got in then I throw myself onto the couch in the living room, I feel so far from okay, even though I haven't talked to him yet.

"I know you don't want to talk about it but this rumor caught so much attention from everyone," She said before walking into the living room.

"It's not just a rumor, Kells" I said in a low voice while kept staring at the black flats screen in front of me. "It's all true. I saw them eating each other's faces off with my own eyes.

"So you guys broke up?" She raised an eyebrow at  me.

"I haven't talked to him since the incident," I said before grabbing onto a tissue from the table in front of me.

"But I have to talk to him today, I can't live like this. Dont worry, I'll move on." I told her.

"So what's your plan?" She asked me.

"Breaking up with him?" I guessed.

"He can not see you like this bell, jealousy is the best revenge" She said and I nodded.

She is right, I have to find a way to make him jealous.. I don't want him to see me broken like this, I have to be strong and I believe that he is going to regret cheating on me.

"Remember you have to fly to Paris this week," she diverted the topic.

"Yeah..." I slowly said.

"So then get your ass up, you're a sweet, smart independent, beautiful girl. And every guy around the world is dying to date you."

"Anthony is just a little, microscopic piece of shit! So fuck him and his bimbo and show the world what 'ya got!" She exclaimed plastering a little smile on my face.

"Thanks Kells," I said.

"Again, get your cute, thick, little ass up, and I'll make a ramen,".
