I warned you!

Evi:
I can't hold it together any longer and collaps to the ground. Tears running down my cheeks, having difficulty to breath.
As if it had to be like this, Tom walks outside.
"Evi, what's wrong? What happened?"
I can't get a words out. He helps me up and gets my upstrais.
"Evi, what's wrong? You want me to call Bill?"
I shake my head and try to calm myself.
"It's over." I say, my voice cracking.
"What you mean?"
"Bill broke up with me." I manage to calm myself a little more and for some reason the tears has also stopped.
"What? That can't be true, he loves you."
"It was all a game."
I can see the confusion on Tom's face.
"I'll go talk to him."
"Don't bother." I whisper.
"I need to talk to him, will you be okay? I'll come back."
I nod and force a little smile on my face.
Tom can talk all he wants, but it won't change anything. Bill was very clear. He doesn't love me, he never did. It was all a game to him. He just wanted to have me. Maybe he just wanted to take my virginity. As he said, me being a virgin made it more exciting for him.
I can't believe I actually believed him, that I actually gave myself to him..

It seems like hours, before I hear a knock on my door and before I can say something Tom walks inside.
I sit up and lean my back against the wall.
Tom shrugs his shoulders and sighs.
"I don't understand, apparently he and Brenda are dating."
I look at him confused.
"Bill and Brenda? Brenda?!"
I can't help but feel angry. After everything she did. I guess he lied about that too..
"I can't believe this." Tom says. "This doesn't sounds like Bill, at all."
"He said it was all a game. Did he ever mention something like that to you? Don't you guys tell eachother things?"
Tom shakes his head. "No, nothing. For all I know he really liked you, loved you even."
"I guess not." I say softly.
I put myself on the edge of my bed and for some reason I can't cry anymore. All I feel is anger.
Tom takes my hand, pulls me up and puts his arms around me.

I wake up after a sleepless night of crying and nightmares. I still can't comprehend what happened last night.
Why do I always trust the wrong people? And why can't I find someone who really loves me instead of playing a game with me?
I crawl out of bed and walk straight into the bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror.
Swollen and red eyes looking back at me.
I don't even bother trying to make myself somewhat descent and walk downstairs.

I know my parents aren't home and I don't really mind. I'm not ready to answer their questions and tell them what happened.
"Hi sis." Nick says, way to happy for my liking and without saying anything I walk to the kitchen. "Evi?" He says while following me. "Why does it look like you cried all night?"
I shrug my shoulders and try to hold back tears. Not sure how it's possible that I have any left at all.
"What happened? Why isn't Bill here?"
Hearing his name makes me unable to keep my tears down any longer.
"Hey, What's wrong?" Nick asks, walking closer to me and putting his hand on my shoulder.
"Bill.." I manage to say with a weak voice while sobbing.
Nick face immediately changes from worried to angry. "What did he do?" He asks, trying to sound as calm as possible.
"He broke up with me."
"Why?" Nick asks, just as calm but I can see in his eyes how angry he actually is.

After crying for a little while I manage to tell what happened. How he used me, how it was all a game to him, how he only wanted to take my virginity.
I see Nick boiling up. He angerly slams his fist into the wall and runs outside.
"Nick! Don't!" I yell, following him outside.
Nick is slamming the neighbours door and when Bill opens it, Nick roughly pushes Bill against the wall. He grabs Bill by his shirt and throws him onto the ground. Bill makes a painful face and groans painfully.
"I WARNED YOU NOT TO HURT MY SISTER!" Nick yells. "NICK, STOP!" I yell at him.
Nick balls his hand into a fist and hits Bill right in his face. He pulls Bill back onto his feet and throws him against the wall.
"Don't you dare ever come near her again!" He throws Bill onto the ground again and walks away. He grabs my arm and pulls me with him.
I look back and see Bill crawling back up, blood dripping from his lip.
