Opposites Attract

Chapter 1

I always tend to find myself in this position, always play the same fucking game but it's never seems to change. I'm just going in circles making the same mistakes over and over again. But yet I never learn do I?

I slam my hands on my wheel, "Fuck!" I yell. My hands began to shake as my blood boiled.

I yank my door open and step outside the cold crisp air tickles my skin. I take a deep breath in and turn my head up to see the night sky, it is quite beautiful.

The night sky was peppered with stars as well as the moon casting an eerie shadow on the ground below. The cloud moving in fast as their was a strong breeze.

I grabbed my purse and sat on a log next to my parked car. I began to kick a small pebble, for some reason this calmed me down almost immediately.

The parking lot was a ghost town not another soul in sight. Occasionally you would hear the symphony of crickets but other than that dead silence.

It's my fault really I shouldn't let myself think about him. It's not that simple though, he had been in my life for four years. Now I don't have anyone anymore.

I shake my head and grunt, "Here we go again Jane." I whisper while rolling my eyes , "Feeling sorry for ourselves again?"

I find it humours that for a "normal" 18 year old siting alone in a parking lot, next to a club at 2am, would send shivers done their spine.

But yet I felt at ease.

My feet begin to ache from working all day, I wince at the pain "These fucking hells will be the death of me."

I'm just lucky a have a pair of sneakers in the car. As I climb in, I hear my phone ringing. I roll my eyes as I know exactly who it's going to be, I rammage through my bag until I find it.

Missed call: Mum

I turn my phone on silent and continue to change my shoes. My mind begins to slowly slip it's way back into the rabbit hole. A slippery slope where once you fall in their is no way out.

Flashback

Jake grabs my collar and begins to scream at me, his nose touching mine "You're fucking idiot you know that!" He spat while he threw me on the floor, he's eyes bloodshot and breath pungent of alcohol.

"An absolute idiot! Who the hell do you think you are hanging out with him?" He looses his grasp a little, enough for me to breathe.

I stand their helpless, my face drained of all its colour as my bottom lip quivers. I try my best to hold in the tears.

He uses his forefinger and thumb to move my head so that I my eyes are staring right at his. I have never seen him this bad before.

"Answer me?" He screeched making my head pulse.

"I-I .." I can barely make out a sentence with out breaking into tears.

Jake throws me on the floor as if I am a useless rag. I Yelp in pain as he slaps my cheek.

"You fucking bitch! You're mine you hear?" He screams, while pointing his forefinger at me.

I nod "I-I'm sorry." I mumble, chocking on the tears.

He begins to walk away and mumble, I am left to pick up the pieces once again.
