You Can't Love Him

23

"It will be raining all day so please bring your umbrellas," the weather man yells over the pouring rain behind him. I sat in the living room watching the news on this rainy Monday.

I love the rain. But, not when I have to walk to school and when I don't own an umbrella. Maybe that's something I should invest in.

I walk up the stairs to grab my back pack when I bump into someone. I look up to see my brother. The instinct to say sorry quickly vanishes. The instinct to rip him to shreds replaces it.

"Hey Em,"He smiles. I keep my mouth shut and continue to walk to my room.

"Wait,"I stop and turn to my brother. I stay quiet and wait for him to speak. One wrong word and I will attack.

"I know you are mad at me and won't talk. But please at least let me drive you to school. It's raining. I don't want my sister to catch a cold."

I don't answer.

"Please!" He begs.  He really wants to make it up to me. I guess it wouldn't hurt to just ride with him to school. I sigh and nod. He smiles,"Thanks, I'll meet you in the truck."

I quickly grab my bag and head outside to the truck. I look in to see that Marco is already sitting in the front seat. Great, can't he ride with Carmen or something? He has his own truck, why does he never drive it!

I growl and climb into the back seat. The truck was silent and very uncomfortable. Come on Drew, hurry up!

"I miss you," I hear Marco's voice. Just ignore him Em. He's just trying to get a reaction out of you. He turns and looks at me. "I miss you." He repeats.

Is he serious? He cheats on me and then says he never loved me and now he says he misses me?  What is wrong with this guy? Should I just reach up and slap him? I'm not the type of girl to slap someone but come on. His face is right there.

"Awe, that sucks for you. I don't miss you Marco." I growl.  His face instantly drops.
What? Did he expect me to say I missed him too? Not a chance.

"But, we loved each other." He whines. Wow, why did I ever date this guy? His brown eyes told me his words were such bullshit.

"No we didn't. We were in love with the thought of being together,not each other." I spat.

"Well then how about we try it agai-" I cut him off.

"Fuck no! I have someone else and so do you!" I yell in anger. What part of there are no feelings does he not get! He wanted a reaction and he got it.

"Wait who would you be dating,"He looks angry. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me. Seriously Emmie, you're dating Noah."

"I never said it was Noah," I fume. "It's actually non of your business who I date."

Drew finally gets in the truck. He notices that Marco and I both have angry expressions. "What did you do Marco? I told you not to talk to her when she got in the truck." Oh so they planned on me riding with them to school?

Marco stayed silent and Drew didn't even try talking to me. We all just sat there. Forget this.

"You know what, I'll just walk." I say, I unbuckle myself and open the door.

"No Em wai-" he was cut off when I slammed the door shut. I head off to school.

When I got to the front doors of the school I was soaked. My shirt was uncomfortable and my skirt was heavy and my hair I had straightened would now turn into a wavy mess.
