The Story Of Us

8- You're a Lover Not a Fighter

If your heart was full of love, could you give it up? // {Not About Angels} Birdy

The two weeks of our spring break had passed by and I spent most of my time throwing up or taking medicine that should help me stop throwing up.

Ross came over a lot to help me take my medicine, because he and I both knew I would just sneak behind my moms back and throw it down the sink.

I walked out the front door with an apple in my hand. I was wearing faded jeans with a red flannel over my grey tank top, while my hair was done in a side braid. Usually Emma would take me to school, but I asked Ross to drive me and considering the circumstances I didn't think she would come.

I was wrong

There stood Emma. The same Emma that slapped me and through her alcohol on me, yeah that one.

She parked outside my house. I started speed walking, but she grabbed my arm. I snatched my arm away and she looked confused.

"Laur, what's wrong?" She asked innocently

"First of all, my names Laura not 'Laur'. Second of all, if you touch me again I will not hesitate to twist your hands in a knot and shove them up your a-"

"Whoa whoa whoa, wait a minute, what did I do to piss you off?" She asked, with her eyebrows raised, cutting me off.

"Don't act like you don't know" I said quietly, reminiscing about the events that occurred the other night.

"I don't" She said calmly

"So you don't remember getting drunk and saying how much you hate me, oh and let's not forget the part where you slap me!" I yelled

She sighed and waited a moment before she spoke again.

"Listen, you need to understand that I was drunk and-"

"Yeah I understand perfectly. The part that I don't understand is why you got drunk after I told you not to." I said sarcastically

"Laura I'm sorry." She said sympathetically

I could tell that she was being honest and that she was truly sorry, but I just didn't think I would be able to forgive her after she said those awful things about me. I sighed and just started waking down the street to Ross's house, leaving Emma behind.

"Laura, I said I was sorry!" She yelled "I'm sorry" She said it again, but she said it at a whisper this time.

You know those annoying people that hold grudges and that can never forgive and forget?

Im one of those people.

It's stupid, trust me I know, but once those hurtful words were in my mind, it was just hard to forget.

I knocked on Ross's door and his mother immediately answered.

"Hi sweetie." Greeted Stormie

I just gave her a small smile.

"Oh no. What's wrong? " She asks me sympathetically

"Well-"

"Did you and Ross break up? I know you to were dating-"

"Actually we didn't -"

"- for a while now. Ross! Get over here!" She yelled , ignoring my comment
