Unbroken

Chapter One

"What did you just say?!" my friend Kelly asked surprisingly. See, her and her weird friends were talking and one of her friends named "Natalie" asked me if I had a crush on anyone, and I said "No, I don't want a boyfriend. All they are meant for are to just get in trouble, and to steal hearts, break them, and leave them behind without looking back." and that is how I am in the mess I'm in now.
I have a habit for saying what is on my mind right then but not thinking about it before I say it. "Are you deaf?!" I sarcastically replied. See what I mean. "Holly! I think its time to get you a boyfriend. Or at least take your nose out of the books, and take you out to a restraunt, club, night club... Something!" She searched for words that were hurtful but all she came up with was "TOMBOYS NEED TO GROW UP!!!" as she left the dorm. We share a dorm at a big college. And outside the window right next to my bed, I could a world of couples holding hands, hugging, kissing... You know, couple stuff. I have never been kissed, hugged, or holding anothers hand. Yeah sad life right. Don't get me wrong, I do want to be in a relationship with a nice, kind, sweet guy... But it hasn't happend yet. Sad. All my friends in my dorm, has had I bet about 50 or 60 boyfriends. And have all lost everything because of their fast- pace love lives. I am 19 years old. And still have my innocence, my unbroken heart, and my sanity. "I act my age! It's the girly girl that needs to grow up!" I said aiming at Kelly. As she turned around, her eyes were like arrows that were consistently jabbing me, maybe I should've thought about that! OOPS! "She means Blondie that you need to start going out on dates and stuff. Right?" Shayla corrected me but yet, she had the look on her face that looked like she was confused. Shayla, the only natural blonde hair. Poor girl, she was the first in our dorm to fall for a guy that took advantage of her one night, and then left for a girl that more body then she had brains... That is why I don't date at this college... Or anywhere. "You know what? What about that guy ummm... "Austin"? He's sweet." Kelly suggested. Knowing I didn't have a choice, I tried to defend myself I said, "you mean that guy that asked out Shayla?". That didn't work at all. Shayla, thinking she was helping me I guess, said, "oh don't worry Holly! I'll get him away from me and get him to start hanging around you!" I wanted to choke her, but I knew that her heart was in the right place and calmly I thanked her. "So it's all settled then! We'll have you ready by Friday, now today is... Monday, so you and him have PLENTY of time before the date!" Natalie said looking at the tiny calendar that we have on the bulletin board, right beside the homework desk. I don't know how she saw the days of the week! The tiny calendar was full of dates, for the month for these girls!!! "NO!!!!!!!!! IT'S NOT ENOUGH TIME I NEED TO GET TO KNOW THIS GUY!!!!!!!" I screamed at everyone in the dorm. I think the people in the next dorm heard me. "Relax child! You'll have time to get to know him! As a best friend. Ok?!" Olivia said calling me down... Olivia has lived through AWFULL experience with her one of her first boyfriends. And I don't mean, being taken advantage of... I mean being played with. But every date she comes back from, it seems like she relives it over and over again. "Oh! Thank the Heavens!" I said. I was kinda relieved. I STILL HAVE TO GO ON A DATE!!!!!!!!!!! "How do I get myself into these things?!" I thought. "Knock knock, its me!" my friend Johnathon was at the door, "oh crap!" I said out loud. "I forgot about Johnathan's party tonight!" as I opened the door his eyes looked from head-to-toe, and all of a sudden... I felt like I was sick but, the weird thing Is, I kinda liked it. What is this feeling? I walked out and closed the door and in the hallway I explained why I'm not ready. "No worries. I'll wait out here for you no big deal!" Johnathon replied with the most understanding attitude. Why was he so understanding? "Are you feeling okay?" I asked pressing my hand up on his forehead messing around with him. "No there is nothing wrong with me. But there might something wrong you if you go on the date on Friday." Johnathon said with a glean in his eye. "How did you?!" I said panicking inside. "Relax! I won't say word! I just don't think you should go out with him." Johnathon called me down. He had a soft tone in his voice, such a caring feel. I couldn't help myself, I just started crying and he took me, and comforted me, I knew he was right. I had a feeling like I was going to lose everything I had hoped to keep until I got married. "Shhhhh..." Johnathon comforted me, until I stopped crying. "I'm sorry about that, kindve an awkward momment huh?" I asked embarrassed at how I just acted to my best friend. "Not at all Holly, whenever you need a shoulder to cry on, you know my number." Johnathon said to me making me feel less embarrassed. "Thanks. I'll be right out in a minute." I reacted and there was that sick feeling again. As I closed the door, I changed quickly, and then left. I couldn't be in that room again with those girls. "Are you sure you're in a party mood?" Johnathon asked pressing his hand up against my forehead, messing around while he's driving. "If not I'll fake it" I replied grabbing his hand and putting it back on the steering wheel. Our relationship is brother and sister. But these feelings I have been feeling when I'm near Johnathon, might just change that.
