" Broken Love " H.S (#Wattys2015)

Prologue

Getting into a good college with my best friend and having a bright future together was always our dream.Plus our parents were really strict when it came to getting good grades which was good in a way. We had this mantra when we were in high school that no boyfriend till college and to focus on good grades.Well I followed the mantra rigorously but somehow My Best Friend Stella Wilson she lost track during the senior year and fell in love with a guy called Nick. And that's where our mantra broke because she was so in love with him that at one point she would stop hanging out with me. I hated Nick for coming into her life because he was taking my best friend away from me but then he was truly a nice guy and loved Stella a lot . They were like the perfect couple madly in love.

We were like three musketeers now, we always study togther , eat together but ofcourse not live together because we were living with our own families in new york. Finals were near and we were happy that all three of us were prepared for it somehow and now we were filling forms for college Stella and mine dream was to get into NYU we both applied for the same course journalism. My dream job was to write for cosmo magzine in near future and while Stella choosed journalism so she could spend time with me in college as we couldn't spend much time during our senior year because of Nick but anyhow even he also applied for the same university but different course because the two love birds couldn't stay away from each other.

Finals started and it was our last paper. Stella and I have already reached school but Nick was late for school today. We both waited for him near our lockers exam was about to start in an hour so we still had time. We went to canteen and waited for him there. I was going through my english books and while Stella was calling Nick and suddenly she started panicking and I could see tears in her eyes and just then she grabed my hand took me outside the school breaking through her tears she said Nick is in hospital he met with an accident and is in critical condition. Stella broke down infront of me and I calmed her down saying that we will go and see him after the exam but she wouldn't agree and wanted to see him now but I reminded her that if she misses the paper her parents would probably kill her.

Somehow I managed to agree her to give the exam and we went inside and sat down to give our final paper. Stella was sitting infront of me. I knew she was shattered and probably was not in a condition to give her exam but I still told her to do her best.

There was still time left for the exam to get over but Stella got up from her seat and gave her paper to the teacher and I still had to finish one answer but somehow even I got up and told my teacher that I have finished. I ran to my locker Stella was standing there her eyes were blood red and she was holding her phone in her hand in a state of shock

I shook her for a moment so that she would talk to me and then she looked at me her eyes filled with tears and her whole body trembling as if she's just going to pass out and said Nick is no more. I couldn't sunk in the words for a moment I held on to my locker tears started brimming in my eyes and I hugged bella tightly saying sorry.

She whispered saying she couldn't see him for the last time, she said she couldn't hug him , kiss him or tell him how much she loves him for the last time amd slowly she withdrew from the hug and started hiting me saying that I stopped her from seeing him somehow I took the blame on me because I didn't want us to miss our last exam. I took the hits from her and hugged her again and said " I am really sorry ".

I still blame myself for stopping her from going to the hospital because after Nick death Stella started self harming herself and she was going under depression she stoped talking to me but I never gave up on her and promised myself that I will bring my best friend alive. But i will always have that regret if I wouldn't have stopped her atleast she would have gotten to say her last good bye.

Seeing a broken love in front of me. I thought to myself I can never fall in love or can even experience something like Stella. I would always imagine myself in Stella place and to even think about it my eyes would just tear up. I promised my self that I would not let Stella heart break again and even for myself I would shut myself emotionally so that I would not fall for anyone because I would never want to come across a broken love again.

But who knew that after building up walls from getting broken Stella and mine heart would fall for the same person named "Harry" and how these walls are slowly tumbling down to experience a broken love.
