Mending A Broken Heart The Hard Way

Chapter 2

Monday Morning

It has been 3 days since my mothers funeral and I still feel that it is my fault.

I am sitting on my bed waiting for Aaron to come and pick me up when Andrea walks in.

"Hey Amanda," Andrea says with a gloomy look on her face.

"Hey," I reply.

"Whatcha doing," Andrea says.

"Waiting for Aaron to come ands pick me up," I say in response.

Andrea them looks at me with this sad expression.

"What?" I asked.

She then says," Aaron is not coming to pick you up."

I look at her with this dumb expression of why not.

"He says that he is breaking up with you," she then says.

"He really didn't say why," she then continues comforting me with a hug.

I wipe the tears that have formed in my eyes with my Cashmere sweater that I was wearing.

Andrea then says "If it make you feel any better Dontell was breaking up with me."

I then look at her and laugh and say "Well look at the both of us getting dumped. We're by outsells again. Single."

She laughs and nods her head saying 'yeah' of the comment that I made.

We both laugh for what seem like 5 minutes before go downstairs. Andrea decides to drive so she grabs her keys and we then head out the front door.

As we were driving, I notice that Aaron was walking. I told Andrea to stop the car as I roll down the window.

I then yell out the window to Aaron," Aaron, why are you walking?"

He turns toward me and says "my dad took my car away because I threw a party on Saturday and wrecked his house."

I then tell him to get in the car and we then keep driving.

Aaron then starts the conversation again by saying," Amanda, Andrea, how are you ladies today?"

"We're fine. How about you?" I ask.

"Oh I am swell," he says.

"Bet you better without me," I say in a snippy tone.

"What. What are you talking about?" He replies.

I then say," Andrea said that you were breaking up with me.

Aaron replies and says deliberately ,"Oh yeah. I am breaking up with you.

"Asshole," I day under my breath.

"What was that. I couldn't hear you," Aaron the then says.

"I said that you are an asshole," I shout at the top of my lungs.

"Oh now I am an asshole. You know what your a,a,a,a," he stammers

"See you don't even know," I shout.

Aaron was about to say something but we pulled into the school parking lot.

I get out of the car and slam the door furiously. Aaron then does the same. He then grabs my arm and turns me around so that I face him.

"If I am an asshole then that makes you a slutly little bitch," he then says before he presses is lips up against mine.
