Chapter 6

    Did Chris break up with me using someone else?  No, I must've misheard him.  Yeah, he didn't say that.  Did he?

    I didn't get any sleep last night.  How could I?  My mind was overrun with questions.  The worst part was that I didn't know if I even wanted to know the answer to them.  

    My phone buzzed on my night stand, there was a new message.

Ophelia:  Hey sorry bout yesterday

Sawyer:  What?

Ophelia:  The phone call?

 Sawyer:  ?

Ophelia: Nvm.

    I hadn't told anybody about the call.  Did Chris tell her?  Did he tell the whole school?  If he didn't Ophelia most definitely will.  Sh*t.

    I had arrived at school.  As I went to the commons to find Ophelia everyone turned their head to face me.  All conversations had stopped.  You could only hear my footsteps as I walked pass with a thousand eyes following close behind.  Everyone was acting like I had killed someone.

    I finally found Ophelia.  She was the only person who didn't notice me come in along with the boy she was having a make out session with.  I couldn't see his face, I just figured it was her boyfriend.  

   As I got closer I saw more of the boys face.  Each step showing another part.  I was about a meter or two away when only half of his face was showing.  It was clear that Chris had broken up with me.  I just didn't expect Ophelia to be the one on the other end of the phone. 

   Tears were biding up in my eye.  I stood there, frozen.  I didn't know what to do.  I didn't know if I should walk up to Ophelia and slap her or run.  I blinked back the tears, I couldn't let the whole school see how pathetic I was.  

   My world was falling apart right before my eyes.  And I just watched it all happen.  Breaking me down piece by piece.

    A single tear trailed down my face.  Followed by another. Another fell, with another escaping close behind.  

     I wanted to run with all my heart. Why couldn't I move?   I just wanted to turn around and run home, but my eyes wouldn't leave Chris' face.  

    My foot moved slightly in the opposite direction that I was standing.  My other foot did the same.  I turned around and walked away.  Straight to the bathroom.  

    I opened one of the stall doors, and cried my heart out.  Why did Ophelia do this to me!  I thought we were friends!  Why did she have to take Chris from me!  Wh-why did this have to happen to me!  This isn't fair!  

    I heard the squeaking of shoes on the bathroom floor.  "Hey, is there anyone in here?" a man's voice called out.

    "This is the girl's bathroom," I said with a quivering voice.

    "I know... Hey, are you okay?"

    "Just fine."

    "No you're not."

    "How would you know?"

    "I just do," the boy walked over to the stall I was in, "Open up."

    "No."

    "Please."  I looked through the crack next to the door, he just waved.  I proceeded to unlock the door and he pulled it open.  The boy didn't say anything about me having tears streaming down my face or the reason I was even in here in the first place.  He just held his hand out, which I grabbed.  Then the boy pulled my up and into a hug. 

    We just stayed there.  I didn't want him to let go.  He was the only person that made me feel... not horrible.
