Chapter 18 - Love?

Love? Wasn't love meant to be respected and reciprocated. How could Cale say he loved her, when she had caught him kissing someone else, and planning their marriage together. How did that prove his love for her? Why was she only now feeling some sort of insincerity in Cale's words?

She unconsciously took a step back from Cale's hug, making him frown slightly before regaining his apologectic look.

"Jade don't you trust me? Where's your trust for me?" He asked her with hurting eyes.

"Trust for you? Her trust for you is in the slums, you can go pick it up there" Amy said angrily as she walked up to them. She had just ended her call when she saw an unwanted peasant hugging Jade. She couldn't believe the nerves of this bastard showing his face to Jade and saying something about trust. How shameless!.

Cale couldn't bother to talk back at Amy as he eyed her and returned his gaze to Jade.

"Babe I'm truly sorry. But you have to believe me. I love you...just you" He said looking intensely into her eyes. He could tell Jade still had feelings for him or why else was she silent instead of cussing at him like her crazy friend Amy. He has always known her to be obedient and quiet and he has really been confident in her love for him.

"Love? did you say love. I think I just got a new definition of love. Does your understanding of love entails cheating and betrayal?" Amy asked standing in between Jade and Cale with her arms folded across her chest. She gave Cale a disgusting look, like the sight of him was not healthy for her eyes. She had always known that Cale wasn't entirely faithful to her friend and she had long wanted to give him a piece of her mind.

"Hearing the word love from your mouth makes me want to puke. You really have no shame do you? Even animals know how to be appreciative and reciprocative but I can't say the same for you, you scumbag. How dare you hurt my friend and still have the guts to show that deteriorating face of yours to her. I have always known you are such an imbecile. Well now you just proved you are worst than that" She cussed saying the latter part with a shrug.

"You.."

"I'd advice you to shut that gutterish mouth of yours. I'm warning you Cale, better don't show yourself before Jade next time, if you don't want her to die of nausea. You don't need me to tell you how irritating and nauseous your presences make her. I'm being nice to you, because today is a good day. Next time you won't be so lucky, cause I'll pummel your to the ground" She said turning to take his jacket which was still resting on Jade's shoulders.

"And keep this rag of yours, even rodents won't play with this. N.O.W SCRAM!!!" She yelled with anger evident in her eyes. Cale was tongue tied as he stood there as Amy rained insults on him. He looked at Jade who just stood behind Amy silently, expecting her to say something.

Cale was burning with anger. He had really disliked Amy from time, and she was just giving him more reasons to hate her more.

Amy stared at him irritably with disgust as she blocked his sight from Jade. Was he really expecting Jade to say something? Unbelievable!

Amy held Jade by her hands as she pushed past Cale. She knew she had to leave else she might really do something crazy to him. She'd be Jade's defence till she was able to sort out her emotions.

Cale glared angrily at Amy's back as he picked up his jacket from the floor and stormed away. This was the reason he hated that sharped tongue bitch.

"I'll just have to look for another opportunity" He said to himself as he walked to a different direction. Actually he had been waiting for Stephanie when he coincidentally saw Jade.

He left the hospital a few days ago, and he had waited for Jade to come back and visit him and maybe ask for explanations like other girls would, but he was surprised when she didn't. He thought she might still be angry, so he had planned to look for an opportunity to apologize and get her back. But Amy just had to ruin it.

"Amy can we just go home" Jade said in a low voice. She had lost whatever little vibe she initially had to hang out tonight. She had not expected to see Cale and seeing him just revived her hurt feelings and the hurtful memories she was trying hard to bury.

"Why? Because of that piece of shit" Amy turned to look at her while Jade lowered her head.

"That's not it" She replied lowly.

"Then forget about going home. Because we are so singing and you'll relieve yourself of whatever stress and pain you're feeling, only then are you allowed to go home. And you'll have to go to work tomorrow. Forget Cale, he isn't worth it. You'll get over it and tonight is a huge step towards getting better okay." She said making Jade nod in agreement.

"Let's go" Amy said leading them in.
