Chapter Ten: When a heart breaks

Chapter 10: When a heart breaks

"Sometimes you miss the memories, not the person"

~

I woke up with an uneasy feeling inside. I must've cried myself to sleep, again, about the boy who bailed on me and made me look stupid. Suddenly, flashbacks from last night went through my mind. The shouting, his room, my comebacks at him, his troubled face, everything.

Good thing it's a Sunday or I would literally look like crap in school. To brighten up my mood a little, I got my iPod from my bedside table. Unfortunately, the laziness inside me is unbearable and I had to reach for it with my hand, the next thing I know, I was on the floor, laughing my ass off because of my stupidity. I tend to be dumb, myself at times. At least I got my iPod, right?

I climbed on my bed again covering myself with the covers and plucking in my earphones, one in each ear. I tapped on the shuffle button and as soon as the lyrics of the song "Still In to You" by Paramore was being played, I thought of one thing this song was all about, bitterness.

'Bitter over Gavin, I see' the little voice inside me said

I didn't hesitate to change the song and the next one was 'When a Heart Breaks' by Dave Barnes. Luckily, I loved this song and the lyrics just fit my mood at the moment.

'No one ever told me 

It would come to this. 

What began with such a promise 

And with such a twist. 

I lean into the whisper 

But I don't hear a thing'

I enjoy the lyrics and I slowly realize that my mind wasn't only mixed up because of yesterday's events, but also the two years I suffered without Gavin with me.

'It's a tear in the dark 

All alone in the car, 

In pieces, pieces.  

It's a sound of mistake 

As I'm lying awake and 

Sleepless, sleepless. 

This is the sound that's made, when a heart breaks.'

Normally, I'd be daydreaming right now, but I can't. There's this certain person in mind that I can't forget about.

I received a text message after one more replay of the song.

From: Megan Lopez

'Hey? What the hell happened? Daniel's sorta not himself today and he's getting on my nerves'

I chuckled at her text because I knew what she meant. When we were younger, when they say 'Daniel's sorta not himself today' he's probably being a retarded ass right now. Banging his head on the wall while staring at you, creepy, I know. Now he's all grown up, I don't know what he'll be capable of doing. There's nothing really wrong with him, it just became a habit when he has problems, he'd hit his head with or against something.

I sent her a text minutes later
