Meant to be

Chapter 22

The weekend went by faster than I wanted it to and I was back at school but this time I didn't want to go. I would have to face Thompson and his asshole friends along with everyone else.

I went to my locker and got my stuff to go to class but today I changed seats because I didn't want to be in my usual spot besides Sean. He tried to talk to me but luckily the teacher arrived just on time and he got scolded at to get back to his seat.
When the teacher asked why I just simply said that I couldn't see well from that spot, she bought it thankfully and went on. As all the other teachers did.

Lunch break was fun because my friends wanted to kill Thompson since I had told them everything that had happened the other night.

"I will chop his dick off and feed it to the birds and make him watch". Said Valerie. "He didn't deserve you anyway. A goddess like you. He didn't really stand a chance...". She kept on rambling while Mia just said she was going to the bathroom.

After a little bit Valerie calmed down and Mia came back from the bathroom. I knew she didn't actually go to the bathroom.
"What did you tell him?" I asked her.
"Who?" She played dumb pretending I didn't know who I was talking about or that I didn't know that she went to tell him something.
"Mia..." I looked at her through my eyelashes.
She sighted. "Fine. I told him that he was dead and that he didn't know the treasure he had just lost and that I was going to make sure he suffered ten times worst than he made you suffer and that. That's basically it". She said eating a bite of her salad.
"I fucking love you guys so much". I said hugging them. We laughed and continued talking of everything and nothing.

School ended sooner than I had expected thank god and today I was going to have to walk to the hospital which was relatively close to the school, because, first of all I didn't want to stay longer at school so that Thompson could try to talk to me and second of all because I wasn't going do what I was now used to doing. Which was riding home with Thompson.

I was just stepping out of school when I heard a distant "Mary wait", from non other than Sean Thompson followed by him running.
He tapped my shoulder but I ignored him.
"Mary please let me explain". He said breathless stepping in front of me.
I tried to walk around him but he wouldn't let me, so I opted for my favorite option.

"Ay perdón que pena no hablo inglés. No te entiendo". I said pretending not to understand what he was saying. He kept asking me to listen to him even though I kept telling him no in all the languages and ways I possibly could.
"Please let me explain". He said. I fetched my headphones out of my backpack and angrily said "I told you in Spanish, in English, in French even , I don't want to listen to you ok? Just leave me alone". I said with tears in my eyes putting the headphones on and finally walking past him making my way to the hospital.

-----------------------

Today he was supposed to get answers from the principal to see how he was doing and we were going to get coffee so he could tell me about his results, but I guess things change, and now I couldn't care less if he stays or not.
I hope his dad is happy with the result. No, Mary, no, don't. I took a breath in and out and tried to think of something else.

I picked up my book and started reading I mean, I only had one chapter left...how bad could it be.

ONE CHAPTER LATER

Why can't I have that? Why? This was such a bad idea. I was crying my eyes out. The ending was just so beautiful I want what they have. I deserve it. Not this crap.

I went downstairs and grabbed some cookies and a glass of hot chocolate and turned on the only show that calms me down, Bluey. I watched Bluey until my mom arrived and we made dinner.

After dinner I took a shower and once I was going back to bed I accidentally dropped something. Shit. It was a framed picture of Thompson and me. I picked it up and brushed off some of the pieces of glass it had. It was a picture of the day we went to the sunflower field. We were laughing and we were taking pictures and this one was my favorite. It showed us trying to kiss but failing because we were laughing so hard.
I was so captured by the beautiful memory that I didn't realize I was crying.

I put the picture on my bedside table and cleaned the mess of glass I had made. I took the picture out of the frame once I had picked all the glass pieces up and hugged it to my chest and cried very softly so I wouldn't worry anybody.

Each time I closed my eyes was very painful. I would picture him and me that day and the day of the Ferris Wheel where we met Robert.
And then I remember what Robert said to us and I cried even harder.

Ugh! Why did Thompson had to go and ruin it all. I sighed and put the picture back on my night table. I was lying on my back trying not to think on what the principal had to say. After all, I couldn't stop thinking about him. About how much I love his freckles and his curly disheveled hair and how he is with his little sister.

I just couldn't stop thinking on how much I loved him, how much it pained me how much I loved him, how much it pained me to see him kiss that girl.

The man that claimed to love me, the guy that said he would always love me and who would never hurt me and who would love me forever.

I guess I'm the fool who fell in love with lies and lies. That night I couldn't sleep because I couldn't stop thinking on how my bully had managed to make me fall in love with him just like that. With the snap of his fingers.

I finally let a long sigh out of my lips and fell asleep.
