Zinnias P.O.V

Ok I have to sign up for a sport, study more, get better grades, maybe another class, volunteer somewhere, learn how to fly, meet a werewolf, become a vampire. I don't know anything! I just need to keep myself busy.

I just got out of the hospital, they made me stay there for another week.

I just need distractions to take away the pain.

I haven't seen Aaron in a few days. He came to visit me a few more times while I was in the hospital but I wouldn't talk to him. He just kept apologizing and trying to get back together. I didn't bulge I told him to get out. Im not going to fall for his charms and lies anymore.

Even though I'm acting tough I do miss him so much. I wish he didn't lie to me so we could've stayed together. 

I wasn't able to do anything that week in the hospital. Just relax, watch tv, and do my school work. But if we're being realistic all I did was think and cry about Aaron. Which sucked. But finally after such a horrible week they let me go home.

I sigh in distress. I don't want see Aaron or his friends today or ever for that case. I just feel that if I see him again I might have a break down and I don't want to give him and his friends that satisfaction.

I don't want to show them that they broke me like they wanted. That even after a week I'm still hurting so badly. I never had a boyfriend before Aaron and I'm glad I didn't, they're horrible and they break your heart in the end. After you love them and give them your all, they just break you and walk away carrying a piece of you.

I did my usual morning routine. I left my hair down in its usual waves. For my outfit I put on a peach loose shirt with thin straps and a pair of white high waisted shorts that were not too short. I put on brown sandals that wrapped around my ankle and I added a brown long feather neckless around my neck. I looked in the mirror, it was good enough. I grabbed a pair of sun glasses to cover my eyes since there a little swollen from all the crying.

I walk out of my room then down stairs and I see my brother sitting in the kitchen on the island counter. He turns around and gives me a smile of sympathy. I hate that look.

"Hey... Zinny how are you feeling?" He ask me carefully as if I'll break any minute.

I let out a small sigh and shrug trying to show him I'm fine. Even though that's a complete lie. I'm not fine. I feel like my heart is breaking more, every second of the day. "I'm ok... I have to see him who shall not be named today" I tell him.

I don't like to say Aaron's name out loud. I know it's stupid but everything reminds me of him and I'm trying to erase him from my life. But i can't do that with him constantly on my mind. So not saying his name out loud makes me feel better.

Don't judge me I already know it's stupid. But you have to understand. How would you feel in my situation?

He nods understanding, he's had a heart break too in high school. "You'll be fine. You're strong. You're gonna get through this break up and be stronger and happier then you've ever been." he tells me trying to comfort me and convince me that I'll be fine but its hard to believe right now.

I put on a fake smile and nod. "Thanks Andrew. I'm glad I have your support. But sadly I have to go now" I say and walk out the door "Bye!" I hear him shout.

I get out of my car and look around. No ones out here so I'm guessing everyones inside. I walk through the hallway doors with my head down and walk to my locker.
