Where Broken Hearts Go // EDITED

Izzy Newman

It was the last day of summer and I was actually excited for school to start back up again. I had a wonderful boyfriend and my amazing best friends who would be there by my side, so I hoped a great year would lie ahead. I had 15 hours of my summer left and I planned to make them the best 15 hours of my life, or at least as good as I could get in that time frame.

Dun dun dun da-da dun.

My text tone is a banjo. Don't judge me.

😍Brett😍: hey Izzy got a minute

Me: I've always got a minute for you! What's on your mind babe?

😍Brett😍: uh so I'm done with you we're over

Me: What? Are you serious?

😍Brett😍: yup I'm breaking up with you for real

Me: WHY BRETT? WHAT HAPPENED TO US? WE'VE ONLY BEEN TOGETHER TWO MONTHS! I THOUGHT WE WERE HAPPY! WHERE'D THE LOVE GO, BRETT? WHERE DID IT GO?

😍Brett😍: down the drain lol bye

I didn't text anything back after that. I just couldn't. I thought that our relationship was going well, and I didn't know where I went wrong. The last 15 hours of my summer definitely weren't going to be the best of my life.

💔

Beep beep beep. Beep beep bee-

I slammed the alarm to shut the stupid thing off before I went berserk. I wanted to hit snooze but I knew I would just end up falling back asleep and not wanting to wake back up, and I couldn't be late for my first day.

I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, took a quick shower, and then rummaged through my drawer, looking for something cute to wear. I always say to look your best when you feel your best.

"Isabel, honey! It's time for me to take you to school! You can eat your breakfast in the car, we don't want to be late for your first day!" My mom called out from downstairs.

"Okay mom, I'm coming!"

I guessed I was ready as I ever could be.

💔

"Hi Izzy! Come, we saved you a seat!" My friend Olivia called from the right side of the classroom. I had just walked into my first class of the day, English, and there was only a couple of minutes left until school started.

"Hey Izzy, girlfriend, what's up? It feels like I haven't seen you in forever!" Her twin sister, who sat two rows away, said to me.

"Well, I'm really upset because last night Brett-"

"Miss Newman, we are about to start class. I suggest you take your seat and please stop talking." The English teacher told me.

I quickly mouthed to the girls "I'll tell you later" and sat down.

💔

I currently had a free period, and Ivy and Olivia both had it with me so I decided I'd tell them then.

"So, what did you want to tell us in English class?" Olivia asked.

"Well, yesterday, Brett dumped me by text and I'm feeling really sad and-" I started to cry.

"Woah, hold up, honey. So you're crying because you got dumped?"

"Uh, yeah, who wouldn't?" I said between tears.
