No Perfect Love

Chapter 6: The Aftermath

When he hung up, he immediately had tears start running down his face. By reading this story, it probably just sounds like David cries a lot, but that's really not the case. The few times that he's cried in this story, are the only times he's cried in the past three years or so. He normally tries to block out his emotions, but when it comes to Macy, it's just impossible.

He laid there in his bed crying for a good three hours. Weeping, over the person that he had just days before believed to be the love of his life. Looks like that goddamn energy crystal is bullshit, it didn't ward off shit. When he finally collected himself, he got in the shower and got dressed. He walked downstairs and out the back door, into the freezing cold. He opened his shed, and pulled his bike out, for what he thought would be the last time. He rode down the icy streets to the bridge near his house. When he got there, he realized that he was too much of a pussy to even do that, the thing that most people consider "the cowards way out" He got back on his bike and rode home, feeling even worse than he did when he left.

He got home to Justin knocking on the door to his empty house. "There you are, you haven't been answering my texts!" surprisingly he wasn't mad that David left his house early the other day, normally he would be calling him a "dirty nigger" or "stupid faggot" at this point. He could see on David's face that he had been crying, and instead of making fun of him for it as expected, he seemed concerned. He pried the story out of him, He didn't mention the thing about the bridge, but he told him that Macy broke up with him earlier that day, and that was what he had been crying about. Justin seemed very empathetic, and mad at the same time. Not mad at David, but Macy. He was saying things like, "that bitch, I can't believe she would do that to you" but that just made David Feel Worse. "No, she's not a bitch, she just doesn't like me anymore." he said.

He let Justin in, and they watched some youtube for a while, but David started to regret the fact that he let Justin in, not because of any wrong dong by Justin, but he was having trouble not crying, and he wanted to be alone. Eventually he got rid of Justin, and Justin said "alright man, yeah, I'll go home, but just know that you can always come talk to me if you need to, you're always welcome at my house." And hugged him. It was at that moment that David realized, and he never thought he'd think this... but Justin was actually a good friend. In fact... his best friend. Not that that was saying much. He kind of abandoned all of his other friends to spend all of his time with Macy, and then she abandoned him.

So now he was finally getting what he deserved. After breaking those other girls' hearts he finally knew what it felt like. The worst pain he had ever experienced before, losing the person that he cared so deeply for. She said that they could still be friends, but that's just something people say when they break up with you, to try and lighten the blow. After completely stopping all communication with those girls that cared for him he was finally getting a taste of his own medicine. Maybe he should have listened to his advice from the beginning, and not let his emotions get involved... but then he would have never learned this incredibly valuable lesson, to treat everyone with respect. And he also wouldn't have experienced all the good times they had together, awkward or not. Every second that he talked to her, he enjoyed. Overall, if he had the choice, he would have done it all again.

So Macy, if you ever end up reading this, just know that I'm sorry, for everything, and anything that I've done. And I'd like to thank you, for giving me what was without a doubt the best few months of my life. Even if it was followed by the worst pain I've ever felt, I think one day I'll look back at it, and know that all of this pain was worth it. You know what they say, it's better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all. I'll always love you, Macy Rose.
