Girl made of glass

Chapter 8 Travis

   It's now been a week since the divorce and since Travis broke up with me. I'm so tired. I haven't slept in days. My mother is getting worried. My dad hasn't talked to me since the day my mother told me what he did. I want to call him but I wouldn't know what to say. Every time I pick up the phone to call him I end up putting it back down. I don't know what to do. I'm lonely and depressed, and just when I thought things couldn't get any worse I received a text from Travis.
  "Hey beautiful! How's about you and me hangout and do some catching up 😉 you know as friends 😄."
  What is that supposed to mean? I text him back and say, "sure where do you want to meet?" I got a response right away. "Haha! I knew you couldn't resist me! Come over to my place!"
   So I got into my car and drove to his house. He was waiting by the front door when I pulled into the drive way. "Hey, Liv! Come on in!" He yelled. So I did. "So I've been thinking. The way I ended things with you was messed up and wrong, and I just wanted to say that I'm sorry." He said this like he practiced it a million times before. And I believed him. "I forgive you." I replied. He smiled at me, and then led me to his room. "Sit down relax, and I'll turn on some music." He said. So I did. Being friends was easier than I thought it would be. Of course I still loved him though. He came over and sat down on the bed next to me. Then he put his hand on my leg. "So I heard that your father cheated on your mom, I'm sorry, that really stinks." "Yeah it does." I reply. "Well that's why I texted you. I have a way to make it better." He said. Before I could ask him how he leaned over and kissed me. "Travis, what are you doing? You broke up with me remember?" I asked. "Liv, why would I break up with you? I mean look at you!" He exclaimed. Then he pushed me down onto the bed and started kissing me harder. I tried to push him off but he was too strong. So I dug my knee into his stomach to get him to back off. After he let up a little bit, I kicked him, and pushed him off of me. "You crazy b****! What the hell is wrong with you?!? Now I remember why I broke up with you, you stupid virgin! Get out of my house! I'm officially done with you!" He screamed at me. "Travis, I'm sorry I just.." "I said, get out!" He yelled as he through a pillow at me. I ran out of the house as quickly as possible.
   When I got back to my house I went into the bathroom to throw up. Why am I so stupid? I dated Travis for a year! I should know he would do something like this! He was so nice at first then something happened to him. A month before he broke up with me he got new friends and started drinking, but I still loved him so I didn't care. I'm 16 and he's 17, I tried to get him to stop, told him he was to young. Said he shouldn't give into peer pressure. He didn't listen. I guess the alcohol turned him into a monster. I just didn't notice until now. How could I be so blind? I will never love again. Thats the the truth. The real, truth.
