His sunflower

Chapter 9

Skylar's POV

This whole week has been painfully slowly. I couldn't sleep or eat. I tried to focus on my studies instead. I have been sitting in my room all the time, and I only got out when I had to go to my classes. Laura was trying to get me out of my room, to go to a cafe or cinema but my answer was always 'no'.

I didn't want to see people and I was scared that if I went outside, I would bump into him somewhere. My sorrow had been already gone, but now, the only thing I feel is anger. I'm so angry at him that he treated me that way. That he probably treated plenty of poor girls like that.

People come into our lives and walk away like all of this meant nothing. Like we meant nothing to them. We just have to try not to get attached to them because it will only bring a lot of pain in the end. All we have to do, is wipe our own tears, pick our own selves back up and just keep going.

A little knock on my door brought me out of my thoughts. Laura's head popped out of the door.

"Skylar, please. You have to come out of your room eventually." She said softly and sat on my bed beside me.

She received a message but didn't take her phone out of her pocket. She was looking at me with a sad expression on her face. Her forehead creased slightly.

"I know I just...don't want to do it yet.." I sighed and pouted at her.

I heard an indication that she got another message.

"Skylar, come on. This won't last forever, you will forget about him sooner than you think. Clearly, you two weren't meant to be. He's a selfish asshole who didn't appreciate what a diamond he had. You have to move on. It..."

she hesitated for a second

"-wasn't even that bad, I mean you two met only a few times, you weren't in a relationship, and you're not in love with him right? Just think how you would feel and how hurt you would be if you two actually had dated and had been together longer than that. Please, don't be mad at me, I'm just being honest. "

Laura was looking at me with her head lowered a little, bitting her lip. I sighed, she's right.

"I'm not mad at you, Laura. I know what you're trying to say but...I don't know. I think I'm a little sensitive person and I take every negative comment and every word personally. I've struggled with my complexes and the way I look my whole life and I'm trying to accept that but it's so damn difficult, and people throwing at you comments like that, aren't helpful."

Laura moved closer and pulled me into a hug.

"I know, Skylar. But you will get through this. You have me, Lena, Olivia, your parents, we will always be by your side and we will always help you no matter what. I love you, bitch. "

I chuckled and said "Love you too."

Suddenly, she received another message.

"Who's texting you?" I asked, with my eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"It's Jessie" She answered with a sigh.

"You're not going to see what she wants? Maybe it's something important."

"Noo, it's just...they're going to a party today and want me to go with them."

"Why don't you want to go to a party? Did you hit your head?" A small smile visible on my face.

"HA HA. I just don't want to leave you." She pouted, hugging me closer.

God, I love her.

"I wouldn't be alone...I would go with you."
