The Player's Good Girl

Untitled Part 2

So the summer had gone by rather quickly but the best part was the fact that I would be attending the same school as Lionel. It was exciting because i had developed a crush on him. For us though it would've been a forbidden love where no one knew. Think how kool it would be if it became a 90's movie, just kidding. They probably already have collections of that.

High school started and I had made some pretty kool friends for the new year. I felt  a little bit more shy now since i had been seeing him everywhere I turned and it was a bit intimidating seeing his classmates and friends too. I  felt judged and I constantly had to be more cautious.

Every morning before classes, Li and his friend Daniel would stop by homeroom. I liked the attention too, in those times it made her feel a little  special. I mean it's rather cliched that a bad boy player falls for the shy little good girl but hey dreams can come true, not that he was in my dreams, much.

We hadnt reallly known what would happen but we were willng to give it a try to see what it meant for us both. We established our own relationship  as a private thing though not completely a secret  and yes there was a difference. Unfortunately, it  only lasted for three months. By December we had broken up because he and his issues were becoming just too much for me to handle constantly. First it started out as me giving him comfort from it all and being there for him but it still became insufficient after a while for him. He would take it out on me though I  was good everyone has their limits.

Once school had closed for the first semester I had decided to break it off. Irealized I was learning to love him but if it was going to constantly be like that then I needed to leave and accept that I can no longer be the rainbow after a storm or the hope during one.

Esperanza's POV

I awaited nervously as the phone rang once again, oh pick up already. I hid in the safe room because that seemed like a good place of privacy.

Oh wait, he answered.

"Mhhhmhhmm" I swear he always answers the phone like that just to annoy me.

"Hey, we need to seriously talk. I dont think I can do this anymore. I seriously think i love you but i'm too young for this and I don't think i'm what you want or need right now. I think we need to break up."

Silence. one, two, three, four.....

"Lionel, are you there?"

"Sorry I just had to think over what you said but know that though I understand you're the first and only girl i've ever allowed to break up with me. Sorry I gave you a hard time too. You were just trying to help and I took it out on you and made it worst. You didnt deserve that, you deserve better."

"Well, ok and thanks for saying that but I guess now thats it. Take care of yourself and of course i'll see you around but if you ever need me, you can still call me anytime. Goodbye Lionel'

"You too Es, bye"

And just like that the first relationship I ever had ended. And it broke my heart. He broke my heart. I broke my heart.
