Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

[Fiona's POV]

I woke up with the sunshine shining on my eyes and my head aching. As I wake up, voices started to echo in my head. "Princess wake up. You still have school today. I already cooked you breakfast that you will surely love", a guy said. I just felt my face wet as tears started rolling down my eyes remembering all the happiness and pain he brought me. My throat started to swell and my eyes started to become sore because of crying. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door. "Come in", I replied, turning my back to face the door. It was my mom. "Honey, are you alright?", she asked worriedly. "Mom, physically, I'm okay. But, emotionally, I don't know", I answered. "Dear, I know this is the first time to feel a pain like this since he's your first love", my mom said walking towards me and eventually, sitting beside me, "And I know memories with him would always be remembered since he's the first boy whom you fell in love with. I was the one who told you that when you were a little kid right?". I nodded. "But, maybe he's not destined for you, not that I am an antagonist of your love story.", she continued, "But, to be honest, your father is not my first love. I know, surprising isn't it? I told you that he's my great love but great love is different from first love. If this relationship isn't going anywhere, just accept it. Hard, but you should. Someone else might be the one for you. So, cheer up". My mom smiled at me and I smiled back too. "Anyway, someone dropped by a while ago and asked me to give this to you", my mom said handing me an envelope, "Just call me if you need something. I'll be downstairs". "Okay Mom", I smiled before my mom closed the door. When I saw who it was from, my mood suddenly enlightened. I knew it, despite of the pain, I still love him. But then, after I read the letter, I felt a thousand daggers piercing my heart as I shed tears. He said he was happy with him but feelings change. He also said that he was sorry for hurting me.I crumpled the paper because of anger and hate. The two years we've beentogether was just a trash for him-a trash that is needed to be thrown away.Maybe mom's right. Maybe, someone like me doesn't deserve someone like him at all I need to move on. I need to forget him-the happiness, the pain, everything. I know this will take a lot of time and process but I will take this slowly.HE will just be a memory-a memory that should be forgotten. I got up and went in my comfort room. I washed my face and looked at myself at the mirror. As I looked, I saw a horrifying face. My eyes are red and sore. My hair is as horrible as a witch's and my lips are pale. I looked very haggard just because of crying who's not worth my tears. Just the thought of it, made me cry. AGAIN. "Stop it Fiona. He doesn't love you anymore so you must forget about him. You don't deserve him", I softly said to myself as I wiped my tears. I decided to take a cold shower. The cool water somehow relaxed me. It somehow, in a short period of time, made me forget the pain. After I took a shower, I took on neat clothes and called my best friend. "Hello", I greeted,"Sav, let's meet at the park. Are you free today?". "Hello Sis? Are you okay? I'm sorry I can't stay with you overnight. My parents won't let me", she replied. "Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for the time and concern. Anyway, so, can we meet?", I asked, "I just need someone to talk to". "Okay what time?", she asked. "Can it be now? I already have my clothes on", I answered. "Okay, is it okay if I will be a bit late? I still need to prepare. Is it alright?", she asked. "Yeah sure, See you", I replied. "See you", she said back. I put my phone inside my pocket and walked downstairs. I saw my mother at the kitchen cooking. "Darling, where are you going? Are you alright?", my mom asked when she saw me, "At the park, mom. I am going to hang-out with Savanna. You know, like a Best Friend date", I answered, "Plus I need to forget the pain Mom". My mom smiled at me, "That's good. So, I guess your relationship is over?". I smiled bitterly, "Yeah I think. But we don't have a clean break-up yet. Anyway Mom, I got to go", I replied. "Wait, what time will you go home?", my mom asked, "Are you going to eat lunch here?" I'm not sure Mom. I'll just message you. Bye Mom", I answered and kissed her cheeks. The park is just a few blocks away from our house, same as Sav's. When I got there, I sat at our favorite bench which is beside a tree which gives me shade and it faces a pond. While waiting, I browsed my phone and deleted all the pictures I had with him. This is my first step of moving on. I was about to delete one of our selfies when I noticed a group of boys sitting at the other side of the pond throwing pebbles as if it was a game. The guy wearing sunglasses and a black hoodie threw the the farthest pebble and from here I can hear their conversation. "Whoah Bro! That's far!", a guy in a plain white shirt said. "It's because he's letting his feeling overcome himself", another guy teased wearing a black shirt and a white cap. They all laughed except for the guy who's wearing sunglasses as he playfully punched the guy who teased him. HE took of his sunglasses and when he did, I literally froze. His eyes were dark and captivating and he has appeal. He can be a model or an actor. God! Why does he have to be so cute? "Fiona!", a girl suddenly shouted beside me surprising me. "Ayy, Cute!", I blurted out. "Cute? Me?" Yeah I know", Sav said flipping her hair. One thing I liked about Savanna is that she's conceited in a funny way. "Psh. Just tell that if you are way more beautiful than me", I said jokingly. "Don't worry, girl. I already surpassed your beauty", she said while smirking. "Gosh! I am so ashamed!". We laughed and talked about things which made my mood lighter. "Uhh... Can we buy ice cream? I am craving for one", I said at the middle of our conversation. "Yeah, sure. I'll treat you", Sav replied smiling at me. "Nah. I'll be the one to treat you. You know, as a sign of appreciation and gratitude for never leaving my side as my best friend", I said. "Aww.. You are so sweet", she said and hugged me. I know there are some people who still love me wholeheartedly except for other people I know. Aish! Stop thinking about him Fiona! "Wait for me here", I said as I ran towards the ice cream parlor. When I got there, I saw a lot of couples hanging out by the shop. Others are groups of girls and boys whom I assume are friends. Despite of the teenagers there, thank goodness there are no long lines. "Two Vanilla ice cream cones please. Please give me the large ones", I said at the cashier and paid for my orders. When my orders have been served, I got the two ice cream cone, one on each hand. I was about to walk when suddenly I bumped into someone. "Omygosh! I'm so sorry!", I exclaimed as I got a table napkin and started to clean the ice cream that fell on the guy's hoodie. "Stop Miss. I'm okay", he said grabbing my hands to stop me from wiping the mess. But, despite of what he said, I still continued what I'm doing. "I said stop it!", the guy semi-shouted pissed off. Scared, I stopped and looked up to see who I bumped into. The moment I looked up, I was surprised at what I saw. He was the cute guy who threw the farthest pebble a while ago. It was like the time stopped and all I can see is him. "Oh? Surprised by my hotness? , he said smirking. Wait. Erase. Erase. What were you thinking Fiona? Yeah, he's cute but his attitude is ruthless! I answered him with my glares. "You are giving me glares, now? Is it my fault every girl falls in love with me? I guess you are my next target, Miss", he said. "Whoah. Thank God it's hot today because at least your over flowing confidence helps", I replied raising my left eye brow, "And by the way, do I know you? I will not fall for you, ever! You are not even my type. You don't have appeal and you are so ruthless and reckless!". He frowned at me, "Excuse me, Miss? Are you that beautiful to say that I'm ugly? Who are you to say that? And if I'm ugly, why are there many girls chasing me? One more thing, you were the one who ruined my hoodie but you still have the guts to answer me back? What kind of lady are you? No, scratch that. What kind of monster are you?". "First, it's because I am beautiful inside and out. Second, girls are chasing you because they are blind! They don't have taste and they don't know a single thing about you because you are cursing them to like you. And finally, okay. It may be my fault that I ruined your hoodie but it's not just my fault! It is also yours! If you weren't paying attention to your way you could have avoided me!", I shouted back. Gosh! I'm losing my sanity here! "Look Miss, it's now my fault? You were the one who spilled the ice cream and now you are screaming at me? It's not my fault. It's yours and it is not lady-like to shout at public places like this. God! You are ruining my reputation!", he shouted. "Wow. So, it's my fault now, huh? How ironic. You were the one who started this argument and now you are saying that I am ruining your reputation? One more thing, it's okay if I'm not acting lady-like right now because at least I am fighting for my rights as a lady. It's so gentleman of you to shout at me too!", I said sarcastically. "You-", he was cut off by my best friend. "What's going on here? Fiona, are you alright? And, who's this guy?", she asked looking at me and then at the guy. "Someone who's a big-headed ugly and pathetic monster", I said shooting dirty looks to the guy. "Come on, let's go home. I'm not craving for ice cream anymore". I pulled her away and walked roughly to our house. "What was that?", Sav asked catching up, "Will tell you later when we get home. "Okay", she shortly replied. When we got to our house, I quickly ran upstairs to change my clothes leaving my mom and Sav at the kitchen. After I changed, I lied down on my bed and hugged my pillow as I tried to calm down. Suddenly, Sav came in without knocking. "Mind telling me what happened?", she asked me as she took a seat beside my bed. "It was nothing. I just bumped him with the ice cream. That's all", I said. "Really?", she asked giving me a curious look, "Then, why were you shouting when I arrived?" "It's because I got pissed off because of him. Don't ask any more details because I get irritated when I think about him". "Okay. But he's cute though", she said which surprised me. "Do you like him?", I asked. "No. I just find him cute and that's all. He's not my type!",she said while frowning. "Good", I shortly replied. "Good, why? Is it because you like him?", she said while grinning. "What?! No! Never in a million years!", I exclaimed. Well, that was a half-lie. I did find him handsome before I found out about his bad personality. I don't like boys like that. "O-kay? Then, why are you shouting?", she asked with a teasing smile on her face, "Is it because your guilty?". "Agh. Stop it Sav. I'm just defending myself because from the looks of you, you are teasing me!", I said. "Okay, that's what you said. Let's just see then", she said. Suddenly, my mom knocked on the door and came in. "Honey, your books and your uniform had been delivered a while ago when you were away. Your books are already on your study table and your uniform is already at your closet. How about yours Savanna?", my mom asked. "Maybe it is already delivered at our house", Sav replied. "Alright then, I'll just call you if it's time for lunch. Sav, you can eat lunch here", my mom said, "Tomorrow's a big day for you two". "Okay Mom", I replied before my mom closed the door.
