Heart of Ice

Betrayed

      I woke up with my head pounding. I felt my face and noticed that my cheeks felt hot and my eyes were  puffy. I cried myself to sleep...? I struggled to remember what happened when the memories hit me full front. The park...the cloaked figure...running...Alexander....wait, Alexander? Oh my God!!! I cried in front of him and he...held me? There is something very weird about that picture. I crept out of bed and carefully made my way to the bathroom. 

        I look like crap!! My hair was stuck on my face and pointing weird directions, my face was covered in drool, my eyes and cheeks were bright red, and my mouth looked swollen. Shower to the rescue pleeeaaasssseee!!!!!!!! The hot water washed away the last remnants of the bed-head me and I relaxed.

       I couldn't believe that Alexanderheld me! Andhewassosweet...No! He is not sweet! He isn't kind! He had to have just felt sorry for me and carried me back. There wasn't any other option. I climbed out of the shower and threw on some skinny jeans and put on my "I don't need boys. I can do it all by myself" shirt. I grabbed my hoop earrings and my keys and left. Make up doesn't appeal to me any more and neither does food. I do eat, but not as much as I used to.

      I listened to We Own the Night by The Wanted. As I hummed along, I noticed that everything around my was completely still. I took out my ear buds and everything was quiet too. Not again! I started sprinting to the school and when I got there, everybody looked at me like I was crazy. I probably looked like it with no make up, my face red, and hunched over breathing heavily.

      I slowed my breathe and straightened. Everyone went back to doing what they were doing before, so I walked in with my head held high. I spotted Alexander and walked towards him. I wanted to know why he helped me out. He saw my approach and smirked.

    "Well what do we have here? The nobody finally has the nerve to talk to me? This will be interesting." he laughed.

"Yeah yeah whatever. Why did you help me out yesterday? You could've walked away, but you helped me instead. Why?" I demanded. His friends looked at him in shock and he shifted uncomfortably. When he finally started speaking, he had on his trademark smirk and crossed his arms.

      "I felt bad. You looked like hell and I thought that some guy who was smart enough to reject you, dumped your ugly ass. Then, you being the smart one that you are, passed out and I figured that you would leave me the hell alone if I did one good thing and helped you. That's all. Now, stop talking to me you bitch. As you can see, you're already crawling back to me for attention, but I don't want it, so go off and cry and leave me the hell alone!"

He leered at me and his friends laughed. "Bitch!" One called. "Whore!" A red-headed barbie laughed. I did the one thing no one expected. I laughed. "HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA! Oh my God! That was fucking hilarious!", I wiped a tear off my cheek, "Really? Whore? Bitch? I don't think either of you have slept in your own beds for a while now, so If anyone's a whore, It's you two. As for you," I pointed my finger at Alexander, "Me crawling back to you! When hell freezes over and beyond. And crying, why would I cry over you? You aren't even close to worth it. If you want tears, go dump another one of your whores. Now, if you will excuse me, I have a class to get to."

      I walked passed their bewildered faces with my head held high. In all honesty, his words didn't effect me at all. After the incident, I decided that no one was going to hurt me. Not again. Lucas still hasn't made an appearance...weird. I'm going to look for him today. he isn't acting right. Classes went by quickly and at lunch I had to sit by myself. Not that it bugged me, it gave me the chance to think without a bunch of people in my face. After school, I went in the direction of Lucas's house. We needed to talk.
