Ophelia's Point Of View:

The agonizing pain in my heart is unbearable. It's funny how one person can do this to you, build you up and tear you down within a second. I'm not familiar with this pain but it hurts so much that I can feel my heart shattering into a million little pieces and the butterflies dying ever so slowly in my tummy. Never did I imagine he'd do this to me, betray me as if what we had meant nothing to him, like I meant nothing to him. All the sweet words and the sweet gestures were lies and I couldn't see that. Wow love really does make one blind.

Summer break is supposed to be fun and unforgettable and surely this would be an unforgettable one but it's not what I had in mind. Not only did this lead to a shitty start of my summer break but the shitty emotions I have to deal with.

I hiccup and sit up, catching a glimpse of my miserable self in the mirror. I bring my knees to my chest and wrap my arms around it. I rest my chin on my knee and just stare aimlessly at the broken girl in the mirror. Her black hair is tied into a hideous bun. Her blue eyes that once held so much of joy and happiness in them is now replaced with red puffy eyes that just hold sadness and misery. Her pink lips that were always lifted into a smile now became a quivering mess as she tried to hold in her tears.

I feel sorry for myself.

The sound of my phone ringing pulls me out of my thoughts. I look at my dresser and see Jase is calling me. No surprise there. I slowly grab the phone with my shaky hands and press the green button reluctantly. "Baby? Are you okay? Look, I'm so sorry. Fuck, sorry isn't even enough for what I've done. I love you so much princess, I do. Please, just please give me another chance. We're so good together and you mean the world to me." I shut my eyes tightly but still feel the tears trickle down my cheeks.  I don't want to be naive anymore, I'm not believing his lies. "Baby are you there?" I take a deep breath and wipe my tears. "I told you it's over between us. You and Megan should stay away from me. I don't want interact with you or her so stop calling me." I tell him in a shaky voice. Jase let's out a laugh and anger bubbles inside of me. "Fine, be a stubborn bitch. Megan is way hotter than you and she actually takes care of my needs." I clench my jaw and hold in my screams. "If anyone is a bitch it's definitely you because you didn't have the balls to tell me you and Megan were fucking behind my back. And as for your needs, you just think with your dick because clearly you have no brain. Now let me make this clear to you Jase, I hate you and I never want to see you again. Lose my number asswipe." I cut the call and instantly block his number. I suck in a deep breath and feel as if a huge weight has gotten off my shoulders.

I think I've cried enough. I shouldn't waste my tears on that prick. He doesn't deserve it. A shower would do me good and a good book too. Deciding that's how I'm going to spend the rest of my day I get up and take a long look at myself in the mirror. That girl isn't me and I refuse to let myself become that. I close my eyes and take in a deep breath. My mind is racing but this time it's filled with the thoughts of moving on and being my true self. I open my eyes and take a last look in mirror before turning away, I make a promise to myself. I'll never be that girl again and no guy is ever going to make me feel that weak again.
