When Two Skateboards Crash

Realizing what he said, Octavian's whole face contorted into guilty face. He hugged me out of nowhere and repeated apologizing to me. I couldn't melt into his arms today, though, so I pushed him away. Rubbing my eyes and tears, I slapped him. I couldn't meet his eyes and looked at the ground.

"Get out." HIs and my heads snapped and face each other. While he stared at me painfully, I glared at him hatefully.

Without any complaints he walked out of my door, possibly my life. After hearing the door shut, I fell on the floor, unable to contain the flood and let tsunami take over.

Chapter 15

Arielle POV

Apparently, my parents' date took the whole week. My mom was worried but I didn't want to ruin her fun and told her it was fine. I had the feeling that I should get over Octavian and continue my life happily but it wasn't as simple as that.

It was hard to realize my true feeling for him and feared that he would walk out of my life. I liked him so much. I thought we would even marry after we got out of high school. Our relationship felt so strong yet... What went wrong?

I wanted to go to his house and ask him that. What made him ignore me and distance me away from him in the first place? However, my shattered heart couldn't be taped back together by those hands that shattered it first place. It needed to be sewed by someone else.

That guy, although our relationship lasted only about 2 weeks, I liked him too much. I knew we felt something, a spark, fireworks yet it was broken so quickly, so easily. I wonder if every relationship would be like this... Even if we were going to be happily married, we were going to part anyways.

Because the break up with Octavian took a toll on me, I decided to stop eating. It wasn't because I was self conscious now or because of my depression. Although they did take part in it, there wasn't anything in the fridge and I was too scared of the world outside now.

I felt as if since we broke up, the world outside isn't what I thought of anymore. Also because I thought that the people would judge me now.

I couldn't believe how week I sounded right now. I always kept my cool, knowing that I would get through any troubles and obstacles life threw at me. I guess I'm not invincible. It was foolish of me to start a game with life anyways, it always won.

After 5 days of moping, crying, sleeping and starving, hunger won and forced me to go to the supermarket. However, because of the lost weight, I decided to wear something loose so that people wouldn't notice. Wearing sweatpants and a sweater, I went out.

It was all fine and peaceful during the way to the supermarket and shopping. However, life isn't always full of peace because when I almost finished with shopping, I had an encounter with the girl Octavian cheated on me with. She stared at me for a long time then she recognized me.

"Hey, you were Octavian's girlfriend, right? Well, nice to meet you." She smiled.

Great, I thought, she was nice and pretty. Octavian does have eyes and taste. I smiled, which probably looked like a grimace. She was quick to realize I was uncomfortable and left me.

As I judged her against me, I felt much more embarrassed that I actually thought that Octavian and I might have a future. It was obvious that although we liked each other, we were different in levels.

After I bought all the things, which were only about 5 things, I stood to cross the road. There weren't many people on my side but there were quite a lot on the other side. That's when dizziness came over me. I couldn't see well and my sight was all blurry.

I shook my head hoping it to clear my vision for a bit, and it did for a second. That's when I realized the people were crossing. I started to cross the road. It was weird because as soon as I was crossing the street, there was no one.

Although, my vision was bad, I knew that it was in fact a red light and the people I saw were the people crossing to the right whereas I was going to cross front.

Then nausea came over me as well as a pounding headache. My limbs felt too tired to caring anything and I dropped my bag. I swayed and let out short pants as the headache and the nausea was affecting me greatly.

That's when I heard it, the tires squealing as well as people screaming.
