The Girl Time Forgot

Chapter 10. My Ex

POV.  Erica

      I finally saw the sun come up and I knew another day had begun. I had a bad feeling about today. I wasn't sure what made me feel this way but I shook it off.

       Not much was happening, so I turned on the news, yep I find the news interesting, I used to hate it as a kid but now I've turned into that person.

        I turned on the news and out my window I heard gunshots. I looked over out onto the city and saw a tall white man with a bandana over his mouth. He was a bigger man with a no hair. He had a gun in his hand and was holding it in the air.

       I turned off the news and reached for the phone. I reached and slipped. I fell in the floor face first. It was a cold and bare marble floor. It hurt at first but wasn't horrible pain. As time passes the pain died down.

       The phone fell with me, I grabbed it and called 911. I heard the operator and  told her about the gunshots. She told me to get into the closet and hide don't say a word just hide. I did and she said they were on their way.

        I feared what would happen next. I stayed in there a good 15 to 20 minutes until I heard the sirens of cops and ambulances outside. I crawled out and saw the man get arrested.

      Afterward I worked up the strength to get up and limp to my bed. As soon as I got there I collapsed onto it.

       I layed there and watched the ceiling for about 3 minutes until I heard pounding at my door. There standing was my dad right next to my ex boyfriend. Oh no I thought, and a lump rises in my throat. I swallowed hard and my dad shut the door as my ex walked forward.

         His name was Tray and we had broken up because he cheated on me. We had something special and I really loved him, and he loved me. When I found out about it, he begged for forgiveness and assured me he still loves me, he just made a mistake. Yet I could never forgive him.

He walked past my bed and pulled up a chair. He looked at me with his light blue eyes and said, "you look beautiful." "What did you come here for, cause if you cause any problems I will get my boyfriend in here in a heart beat, that's not a threat that's a promise." I said scared and remembering everything I went through with him like it was yesterday.

"Oh feisty" he said in a joking tone. "Seriously what do you want?" I said just wanting to end this conversation. "You nearly died and I thought I had lost you. It made me realize how much I miss you and what I lost when we broke up. Also all the awful things I put you through. I miss you and I'm so sorry. "

I rolled my eyes trying my hardest not to cry. I loved my boyfriend but I remember the great times with Tray, but I remember the heartbreak. "I can't deal with this right now, I'm sorry."

He grabbed my hand and started crying, "I still love you" he said. Next thing I knew my heart dropped.
