February 14. Last class of the day. The school bell doesn't sound pleasant anymore. I walk around moping about how my boyfriend is cheating and ignoring me. My life couldn't possibly get worse.
I turn to go to the restrooms before leaving the school and I overhear a few girls whispering. They're talking about how Nick was cheating on me and wants nothing to do with me because I am nothing but a burden. I try to hold in my tears as I turn back around and head home. At home, in my own comfort zone, I still feel... like I am nothing. I immediately called Nick. The phone rings for a while before he finally picks up.
Nick: "What? I'm pretty busy right now."
Why the hell is he being so rude? I just want him to love me like I love him. Doesn't he understand that? We're dating....
Karter: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to know how you were doing. You seem like you've been having a bad day."
Nick: "Karter, you don't always need to be in my business you know. Go find a friend to hang out with or something"
I don't know why but I began to feel frustrated. Angry. Very angry. Out of nowhere I blurted out something I didn't want to.
Karter: "So you really like her more than me huh? Why do you continue to treat me like this if I'm such a 'burden' to you? I'm tired of always trying to prove myse-"
Nick: "Oh my god! Are you being serious right now? Since you already know... yes, I do like the other girl better. She isn't clingy and doesn't always need validation from me. You're nothing but a stupid bitch with no family or friends. Go back to the orphanage you came from and leave me be."
My heart. What is this? Why? Why does it... hurt so much? I can't help but cry. I cry and cry and cry. I love Nick. I thought he loved me too. Why doesn't he love me back? I gave him everything.
Karter: "How could you do this to me Nick! How can you say these things about me! I thought you loved me. We've known each other our whole lives. How could you!"
Nick: "Hey, life ain't always like it seems" Nick hangs up the phone and doesn't contact me anymore after that.
The feelings that I had towards Nick slowly faded and turned to hatred. I loved Nick more than anything and he chose to betray me.
