Divorced, But Not Broken
Divorced, but Not broken Chapter 85

"Joseph...." I was shaking his hand the slightest, feeling the slight tremble from seeing the hard stare of Jonah, pinning me down like he always did. He wasn't smiling, not a trace of the smirk that he had when I first met him, nope. he looked pissed. "What?" he looked bored when I just nodded at the direction of Jonah and he followed my eyes only to make a frown, seeing the couple that was making out and just turning his head away. Tom finally was back with something that I didn't order but sure as hell was going to drink anyway.

"Nothing...." I just exhaled when he frowned more at me acting crazy, maybe I was going crazy for real, would make sense seeing my life had been this amazing chaos since I moved into the apartment next to Jonah.

"So, they had some girly shit pretty, but since I'm paying this is what you are having, beer." Tom just pushed the big glass in front of me making me look up in disbelief, was he kidding me? it was enough in this to make me black out before the night was over. "I thought you were rich, or are you just cheap?" He made a smirk at mine when he sat down again making Joseph chuckle and just started to drink like he didn't want to answer that.

"Did mommy not give you more cash this month, already out are we?" Joseph was smirking when he picked up his glass and just tipped it back before Tom that was giving him a stern face that I know meant that people was not supposed to talk about his mom, momma's boy.

"I like your mom." I just said that picking up the glass with two hand and taking a small sip when Tom lighted up from hearing that, already halfway throughout his own.

"Yeah, she likes you too, she really does pretty, and she doesn't like everyone, not really." He was smiling more when I felt better. she did? Oh, that did feel good, she seemed like she was a good mom, I still fucking envy that.

"Hey, she likes me too!" Joseph was making an insulted face that Tom just smirked at, like he was telling him that his mom just pretended, and maybe she did. Joseph was a hard nut to crack.

"Fuck you!" Joseph just flipped him off making the whole table laugh. I did feel the slightest better, trying to convince myself that it wasn't Jonah that I had seen by the wall. No, it could have been another long good-looking guy that was staring me down or I was going nuts.

They argued some more making me just smirk and drinking more from the giant glass I've gotten and just sat there in-between, getting that they had made sure I was in the middle when I saw a few guys check me out and just giving up before even walking over when they got mean looks from Tom even trying to approach, still guarding me.

"Joseph, can I ask you something?" my toes were tingling the slightest when I felt the beer that I had been drinking taking a hold, but I didn't care. I wanted to get drunk. I hadn't planned on it, but what difference did it make? I was already going crazy seeing Jonah when he wasn't there and just spending my time with two kids that was acting just like it when they were bickering like an old couple, it was adorable.

"What?" he looked suspicious at me when I just made a secret smile at his tense face, he probably thought I was going to talk about him being gay, but I didn't give a shit about that, and he didn't want the rest of the world to know so I was going to keep my mouth shut.

"What's with the trench coat? I mean, come on you look good underneath all that, why don't you just show the goods at get some?" I was making the slightest slur when he seemed to relax right away making Tom laugh loudly at my question. I bet he didn't know either that baboon.

Joseph just made a face that I couldn't really make sense off before he did something that made both me and Tom, mostly Tom looked at his friend in shock like he wasn't expecting that to happen. Joseph actually took the damn coat off and smirked at us when he saw that he was not as lean as one would think underneath it.

"Motherfucker, why the fuck have you been having that shit on, look at you!" Tom made a bigger laughter when I just followed giggling and Joseph did a faint smile like he knew that too and just didn't answer, drinking more. showing off those arms that catches the eyes of girls in here, good for him if he wanted their attention, he didn't.

We were just getting another round when I made a deep gasp and just stared at the guy that was coming towards us, like he finally had it. sick of seeing us laughing when this time I knew that he wasn't just going to ghost me, making me believe that I was crazy when he made sure to walk up to the table and just cross his arms, the laughter dying down in an instant. Jonah.

Nobody said a word in the busy bar. Not me being stunned like I always was when I saw him, the powerful guy that never let me have mercy. Tom that just looked sad and Joseph that was looking like he didn't want to be here anymore which made me surprised seeing that he didn't give a shit about anything most of the time.

"Well, isn't this nice. the whore, the idiot and the fat guy." He was making his jaw clench when I just made a shocked face at his cruel worlds, who the f**k did he think he was really?! I was the one that was staring back at him, seeing that none of his two best friends did, they were just being submissive making me finally get it. I wasn't the only one that he had under his thumb, everyone at this table was being pulled around by him, and when he was mean, oh he was the meanest fucker ever. "Jonah, fuck you." I just said that. He snapped his eyes at mine, like he didn't expect me to talk back. I did that a lot these days, I knew that he was going to be mean. make me cry and feel bad, but I could take that. I could. At least then he would leave Tom and Joseph alone.

"Fuck me? that's rich coming from you Andrea, goddamn whore." He didn't scream when he said it, but it didn't matter, it was dark and menacing, making sure that I was supposed to know that exactly what he meant when he told me something. "Don't talk to her that way! She is not a whore; she is a saint compared to you!" I gave Joseph a slight shake of my head, he didn't need to save me, none of them did, I could handle Jonah, far better then any of them it seemed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I hurt your feelings, fat people have that right?" He made a mean smile at Joseph that seemed to have lost his speech and just looked crushed down at his coat, like he really wanted to hide and finally it made sense. he was afraid. just like anyone else that people would judge him, and Jonah was using it against him. like he did against anyone that made him angry.

"Jonah, take it easy, just chill we didn't come here to fight, just sit your ass down and we can fucking talk if that's what you want." Tom was nodding against the empty seat beside him, and he just smirked back like there was no way in hell that he ever was sitting down with the three of us ever again.

"Nope, I don't sit with fucking traitors." His voice was cold and hateful when I just made a big sigh of him being impossible, just like he always was when he was angry, that immature brat.

"Then why the fuck are you here, huh?!" I was getting angry for real now. he just came in here, being a fucking asshole and just made sure that we felt bad because he was miserable and couldn't even take a f*****g olive branch when someone gave it to him the a*****e!

He switched his eyes to me again, giving me the hard stare that was piercing me with his blue green eyes that I loved. he looked like he wanted to say something for a second, jaw clenching and then it stopped just like it did when he was too much of a f*****g coward to tell me something.

"The necklace, I want it back." He looked at the necklace I was wearing still, the one that I got from him, and I just held my hand over the heart and the knot like I could protect it. if he wanted to take it from me, then he would.

"No." I sounded scared, and he started to smirk hearing it like he had found a spot where he knew he could hurt me and now he was going to hit it hard with a f*****g hammer until I was pleading with mercy.

"Yes, its mine and I want it back, because you are not my fucking soulmate Andrea, you got that!?" He made a bigger smirk when I was starting to feel the burn behind my eyes and just shook my head, no I didn't want to hear that shit! he was wrong about that part, he was just angry at me!

"Leave her alone, you don't f*****g need that necklace and we all know it, you made enough money for that." Tom was standing up now like he was sick of hearing Jonah being an a*shole to everyone and I just looked at Jonah, begging him to stop this, I just wanted him to come back and be his real self, the one that was sweet and kind, made fucking pancakes and cared for me.

"That's right! I made that money, me! I want it f*****g back, you got that Andrea, I want my f*****g money back that I put into your useless a*s!" He was getting angrier when my confidence was gone in an instance, he wanted to get paid back and he knew I had no chance in hell of doing that, even with my new job as a glorified secretary, I just couldn't.

"You can't do that too her, she can't fucking pay and you know that!" I felt the hard shame when Tom was screaming out me being broke all over the bar making people start to stare and whisper when I just grabbed my purse and coat, nudging Joseph that didn't say anything, just did the same thing like he finally had enough too and got up, avoiding Jonah's stare that just scoffed at him and called him a bitch when he walked off making me even more angry, he was the fucking bitch here, nobody else!

"You know what, here! Have the fucking necklace back! You are right, I don't want to be fucking soulmates with a fucking asshole that makes the only people in the world that care about him feel like shit!" I was up and fiddling with the lock when he just gave me a hard stare and his jaw was cleansing again when Tom just stared at him too, mad as fuck when I finally got it off and just pushed it into his chest and made a small gasp when his fingers catches it making me shiver from the small brush of his skin against mine before I shook it off, I wasn't going to fall for that, him look vulnerable for a second and then just destroy me. I deserved better than that.

"Here, use it to go get some more fucking drugs and have a good life without me Jonah!" I sneered it, my eyes holding his one's hostage for once when he seemed ashamed for two seconds before blowing up when I had already started to walk off, feeling like I wanted to die, I hated everything, every second of this! Jonah acting out and me just taking every fucking bait he laid out for me, even if I knew what he was doing, trying to make me feel hurt and sad, well I was!
