The Last Letter (Rewrite)

Chapter 5

It's Wednesday morning and I decide to humor myself and go to school. I brush my hair, throw on some clothes, and head out. It's been almost a month and Mother still isn't home. Maybe she died. Good. No, wait, I shouldn't think that. I should be worried. I shake the thought from my head and head to school.

It's 7th hour and I have managed to keep my mouth shut. No one has talked to me and I have returned the favor. The last bell rings so I grab my stuff and head to my locker to go home.

I turn my head while opening my locker and I see Blake heading my way. I avoid his eyes and focus on myself. I can feel him coming closer to me and I growl under my breath. I just want to go home.

I feel his stand behind me and I sigh. I shut my locker and turn around. Blake grabs my waist to keep my from walking away and he takes in a deep breath.

"Listen, Coraline. I didn't mean what I said. I really was worried about you. I was going to call you but-" I hold up and hand to stop him.

"Listen, ass hole I honestly don't give a shit if you were going to call. You didn't. All you did was tell Adrian that I didn't have the guts to kill myself and that I will get over it. When I heard what you did I lost absolutely all respect for you, not that I had much in the first place. You were such a mistake, Blake."

I pause a moment and breathe. "I already have enough to deal with, being with you only makes it worse. So, no, you aren't sorry. Just, don't fuck with people's emotions just because you're unsure of your own."

As I spoke I watch Blake's face go from sorrow, to anger, then guilt and back to sorrow. Before he had the chance to say anything I escaped his grip and exited the school.

I can't let him back into my life. I'm trying to be happy and he won't help the situation.
