The Break Up

After what felt like I was never going to wake up I did. Blinking, waiting for my eyes to become clear. I sit up slowly. I'm laying in Zach's bed. I look around and notice him asleep in the chair. Slowly I get up.

I find my shoes and walk out of his room. I walk down stairs and see Jude. He looks up at me. He smiles but says nothing. I walk through the front door. Bennett's house was on the way home so I stopped at his house. I climbed through his window.

He was still awake studying. He looks at me and smiles. I put my finger to my lips telling him to be quiet. Once I was through the window I walked over and sat on his bed. He stands up and walks over to me. "What's wrong little Angel" he says quietly.

I look at him with tears in my eyes "I think I'm going to break up with Zach" I say. He hugs me but does not say anything else. I get up and say good bye. He smiles sadly and tells me good night. I jump out of his window and walk home. When I get home I go straight upstairs. Abby must be in her side of the condo. I walk in my room. I lay on my bed and began crying.

I wake up the next morning and dragged my self out of bed. I put my hair up and threw on a sweater and jeans. I walk down stairs and make me some coffee. Soon I hear Abby leaving for school. After I finish my coffee I head to school.

When I got there I went straight to class. I found my usual seat in the back and layer my head down because it hurt. A couple minutes late Damion walks in. He asked "are you okay?" I look up at him and he gets a shocked look on his face. " I don't even know why I can to school" I say.

He gives me a confused look. "I'm breaking up with Zach" I say and start sobbing. Damion grabs my arm and pulls me out of the class.

"Tess" he says.
"Tess, why are you breaking up with him, what happened?"
"Because, you don't like him"
"Tess" he says then trys to hug me. I push him away and run home.

When I got home I walked through the door and locked it. I went upstairs and locked my door too. I then went and closed my window, locked it and closed the curtains. I lay on my bed and cried. My phone keeps buzzing.

I pick it up and turn it off. I put my head in my pillow. I hear the door bell ring and Zach banging on the door. I stick my head under the pillow trying to block out the noise. Then I hear him walk up the stairs. "damn it he found the key" I muttered.

He turns the door knob and finds it locked. He gently knocks and says "Please open the door Tess we need to talk". I get up and unlock the door then run back to my bed before he can look at me. He opens the door and slowly closes it behind him. He then walks over and sits on the bed next to me.

"Tess please look at me" he says putting a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "No" I say into the pillow. "Damion said you were sick". I turn my head and look at him. "Do I look sick to you" I ask. "No baby, just worn out". I shake my head and put it back in the pillow. He rubs my back and I point towards the door and tell him to leave. He kisses my cheek and leaves.

A while later Abby walks through my door. She starts talking to me and I smile. She always had a way to make me laugh. When Damion walks in and I stop smiling. "What are you doing here" I mutter. "I want to talk to you" he kinda yells.

He steps toward me and I get annoyed. "Well I don't want to talk to you" I say and get up. I push past him and head to Bennett's but, he's not home so I just go for a walk. I find my self kinda lost in a place I had never seen. I have also been crying.

I'm so angry at both Zach and Damion. I'm angry at Zach for doing what he did to me and I am angry at Damion for never giving Zach a chance. Maybe if Damion would have gave Zach a chance, well then maybe Zach wouldn't have pressured me to get married. Ugh they drive me crazy.

Sometimes I want to go home where my mom is and talk to her. I always felt close to her. I take a seat on a bench and breath. "Mom" I say under my breath "I really miss you".

I then get up and call Bennett. I tell him where I am and if he could come get me and take me to my condo. Finally he arrives and he drives me home. When I get him I go upstairs and go to bed. As I fall asleep I begin to wonder what my life would be like if I where normal and not the Angel of life.
