Protecting Her

Garroth's pov

I've avoided Aphmau since that fight with Zane. I can't believe he threatened her safety like that. Thats why I need to make sure she'll be safe from him. Thats why I need to breakup with her.

Aph asks to meet me at our special place, underneath the bleachers, before lunch. I was too chicken to ask her to meet me so this was good, but why did it have to be there. I go straight to Aphmau when the bell rings.

I don't speak to her when I get there. I guess not talking made her mad. "Thats it, I'm done trying to get you to talk to me!! Tell me what the heck is going ON!!" Tears ran down her face. I wanted to wipe them away but I didn't want to get her hopes up. "Please tell me." Here she was, begging and crying. I felt like a jerk for what I was about to do.

'Garroth, your protecting her by doing this.' Thats what I've been telling myself. I will protect Aphmau. "I'm sorry for what I'm about to say." She looked confused until I said "I'm...breaking up with you." She looked down and I reached out my hand. She smacked it away and ran and I couldn't chase after her. My heart felt like it was ripping out of my chest so I just stood there until she was out of sight.

"Hey Garroth, what was up with Aphmau at lunch?" Dante and Travis came up to me after practice. "Yeah, I didn't see her all day after she ran off. You know anything?" I sighed. "We broke up." "WHAAAT!!!" Man they can yell. Everyone on the basketball team stared at us.

"Why the heck would you two breakup!?" Dante was, as expected, pretty mad. Travis was just asking stupid questions like, "Can I have her now?" I was gonna lose my temper soon. "Listen if you want to know what happened just go talk to her." It felt like I was gonna lose control soon. They shut up. "We were gonna do that anyway." Travis said and Dante checked his phone.

He turned to Travis. "They can't find her. We need to go, now." Travis nodded. "Ok, lets go." They left and the weight on my shoulders heavied. 'They can't find her...' I was worried about her but I couldn't let it show so I just went home. Only to worry more.
