The Ghost Of You

VII

"Those who cheat on their partners who are loyal to them; don't deserve them. It is a trashy attitude to disrespect a person who is loyal in a relationship, by cheating on him or her."
-Ellen J. Barrier

"You okay Quint..?" Whispered Drew.

How..?

"Speak to me Quint, you gotta."

Why..?

"Come on, that could've been the wrong locker."

It had her name...

"How was that the wrong locker Andrew!? How!?" I screamed.

He winced, then slowly sat on the floor with his head down.

"Quint this happens to every-"

"I'm dead and she cheated on me! How can she do this to me!"

I love her.

I loved her.

Why did she do this? I can't believe it.

Was I not good enough? Was I the one to blame? Am I the one that caused all this?

I already missed her so much, but now she's not really mine, I miss her so so so badly.

Andrew stayed quite for a while, as I fell to the floor, hands to my face, trying not to cry and leaving me with my thoughts.

How can she just leave me like that? After all that we've been through, after all the things I did for her, all the things I gave her; disappearing, just like a snap of a finger.

Was this suppose to happen? I was suppose to die so Serena wouldn't have to deal with me anymore? So she can be with the one she truly loves? All these questions...struggling to find answers. Will I ever find answers?

"Like the old saying says," cooed Andy,"It's better to have love and lost than to better have not loved at all."

"It doesn't matter anymore," I replied.

"What?"

"This was all my fault."

I knew I wasn't good looking, I wasn't a charmer, I wasn't rich, and I wasn't exactly smart. Hunter Delasarias was the attractive looking soccer kid. He had a higher GPA than I did, and was able to charm almost anyone. I guess he charmed Serena.

"How is it all your fault? It was her choice to cheat on you." Crawling closer to me.

"I wasn't what she wanted! She deserved better, I just knew it...but I miss her so much."

He groaned,"First of all. Dude, it's been what, only half an hour and you miss her. You got to understand what it feels like to truly miss someone."

I nodded, signaling to him that I was just going to listen.

"Second of all, that's her fault. She lost someone that truly loved her deep down to the core and would do anything to bring her back. Serena lost someone that loved her so much, with some guy who can write letters. That tells you that they didn't deserve your love."

I looked at him with shock. Did he experience cheating heartbreak too in his life time?

"Who was the girl?" I asked.

Scoffing, he shook his head. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to me. I felt my face, realizing I was tearing up and quickly took the handkerchief.

"Let me finish," starting again,"The third thing is you will find love again."

"How can someone just drop someone like they're a toy and go to someone else, after all they have done?" I sniffled out.

"Some just want certain expectations instead of the feeling that is given, making everything a wreck."

I slowly nodded, letting the tears free fall off my face.

"Love will always find a way," He whispered.

I mouthed out 'thank you' and handed back the handkerchief,"Will you tell me your story now?"

He turned his head away and looked up at the sky, as if he was also trying to hold back something.

"Her name was Elizabeth," he whispered,"She was one of a kind. Nothing like most of the girls. We were both 18. She had school and I had my home. We both knew young love never lasts."

That's true. Love is such a harsh emotion for the youth. Like, we're babies holding a glass ball; A single mistake can break it.

"She was a lot of my firsts, such as first kiss. We hung out a lot at coffee shops or parks, just either walking and talking or laying in each other arms, watching the stars."

I remember doing those such things with Serena too. The great memories will always stay.

"One day, we planned to go to the coffee shop, since it was like our 9 month anniversary. I was sitting at our usual spot, with a frappe in hand. After a while she never arrived. One hour, no show, two hour, no show. After that, I just went home. I never got a text message, nor got a call. She just disappeared from my life. Just like that; poof. I never really saw her in my life again. She just, disappeared. I always thought she wanted to leave me, but I never knew what really happened. God I loved her so much. She was my home, my world, my life."

I was in shock. I couldn't really reply. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Andrew; the easily pissed off Psychic, the so-called secretive Drew, the only wannabe called Drew or Andy, was telling me one of his heartbreak stories. I mean, I didn't know that could happen to anyone like...well Andrew.

"The real pain is how Eliza just...disappeared. No reason given, just gone and that's what kills me. How I was just left with no reason, wondering; what did I do wrong?"

I patted his back and heard sniffling. God we're both such heartbroken guys.

We both sat on the ground, pretty muh holding each other, comforting each other through all the pain.

Honestly, I hate the fact that the guy has to stay strong and 'be a man'. Boys get heartbroken too, not only just girls. I hate the fact that society focuses on the guys being the ones who break hearts when girls can also break hearts as well towards guys. God I hate that. Everyone cries. Everyone breaks and everyone wants some type of love or recognition. When only, they stereotype everything and make everything lead to hate and labeling.

But for now, all we need is time to heal our broken hearts.

Hey guys, hope you enjoy this chapter.

I wrote this part like it is because I have a friend who's heart was broke and dedicated to him, so yeah.

What all I said is true, everyone's heart breaks, don't treat them any differently from anyone else. Losing someone you love hurts.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this chapter.
