(Avery’s POV:)

I got up extra early in the morning and left the house an hour early than the usual. I planned to go to my favourite place, a place where I could clear mind. It is like a small meadow located a little farther uphill. I walked because it’ll just take a few minutes anyway, I’ll just waste gas if I use my car.

I reached the place in just a matter of minutes. The view of the village houses up here was spectacular especially at sunset. I would’ve brought Claude here but it might seem a little too romantic for a tour. And I don’t want him getting any funny ideas.

Anyways, he saw it in the park. The events yesterday played through my mind making me smile. It was really fun, hanging out with Claude and all. The guy’s kind, cool, suave…well, that’s how I find him. I’m just being honest with myself. At least Claude’s entirely different from the other boys I’ve hung out with. He doesn’t show motive the first time and he’s not a perverted asshole. Those guys, seems like they came another planet, as if they haven’t heard about the word, ’personal space,’ but still several  questions I can’t help thinking still bug my mind. What if he’s just like the others? He appears like the kind and caring type, but deep inside…he’s no better. I can’t avoid thinking that way even though I know Claude isn’t that bad.

Out of all of them, Xander was the most alike with Claude. Xander was the recent guy I just broke up with. He was really kind when we first met…then when we became an item, I was happy…well happy isn’t really enough. I was ecstatic, but what I didn’t know then was that, that feeling wouldn’t last long.

As our relationship lasted, yes, we fought through rough times. We got over them. Our relationship was somewhere inseparable, unbreakable…or so I thought. I don’t know why there’s still this deep ache I feel…like I lost something. I loved Xander and being a teenage girl who dreams of a perfect and lasting relationship I wasn’t thinking of possibilities that might change us…what we have. All I had in mind was, I love him and he loves me. Naïve I know.

Before, I felt like I was in cloud nine, having the perfect boyfriend who loves me and cares for me. I thought I had it all, even though I didn’t have my parents. I felt like I was already complete when Xander came in.  He was the one whom I thought, I’d spent eternity with. I dealt with guys…I had suitors. None of them made me feel special; different… Xander was the only one who made me feel that. And I know it’s because of him why I have this sort of hole or deep longing…aching in me until now. I don’t know if I still love him. Why should I still? He already left me.

I quickly shunned my mind about Xander before I could think or make up some more bad stuff about him. I just focused my gaze on the school. It was still empty, probably because most of the kids are still drooling on their beds by this hour, while I am here sulking. So I decided to lie down on the soft grass and look up at the sky.

Seems like the weather decided not to cooperate with my mood today. Why do I even have to remember Xander that…jerk. He was the only guy whom I thought I would last forever with, but of course, I don’t believe in happy endings, anymore. Real life’s tough, Disney’s a liar. And that’s what I’ve believed now. Xander told me he loved me, but he left. Like the rest of them…love… Is that love? Is that how you show love? Leaving, yes, that’s how those assholes show them. I know I sound bitter, but I learned from my experience. And I’m going to live by it.
