"Your personality"

His words keep playing over and over in my mind. I was fine if he would have told me he didn't like me like that but my personality. Seeing that my personality wasn't what he wanted in a girl broke my heart, I knew I wasn't good enough for him and that there was no chance of me an him being together but I never gave up. Liking a guy all through high school was just plain stupid. Everything he has ever said to me was lies, he told me everything I wanted to hear from someone. He never cared that's what kills me. Ever since those two words escaped his lips I haven't left my room or let along the house.

"Kory please open the door" Katie begged from behind my locked door. I haven't been out of my room in two weeks. All the time in here I would cry, read old messages and wish I would have never told him anything.

"Katie please leave me alone" That's all I wanted was to be left alone because that's probably how I'm going to be the rest of my life.

I grabbed my phone off my bedside table. Looking at the huge crack that overs my screen a solid reminder of the night everything went down hill. I feel tears starting to build up in my eyes. Holding back my tears I unlocked my phone and decided to do something I should have done a week ago. I went to my contacts looking up John's name. After staring at his number I finally decided to delete it. I clicked delete and laid my phone down on the bed. I feel a little better and I know that I need to stop thinking of him and do anything and everything to make sure he is out if my life.

My phone starts playing Classic by MKTO. I slowly pick up my phone to see I have a text from Katie's boyfriend Drew. Him and Katie are so cute. I have talked to him about everything and he has actually kept me from doing something stupid. I click on my new message.

Drew - Hey Kory! Katie wanted me to tell you that she wouldn't be home all evening and I don't know what she is doing really lol I hope everything is ok with you and you are doing better

Katie hasn't been home at all anymore. She did tell me before the whole John situation that she said she had a job interview. Maybe she got the job. I texted Drew back telling him that I was fine and thanks for telling me. After that I decided to turn off my phone and just lay in my bed thinking of everything, but I stop myself. If I think about everything I would be back to where I was a week ago and that's texting him begging to be friends with him again or something. I rise up out of my bed heading to my mirror on my closet door.

"I look like shit!" I say looking at my reflection in the mirror. My hair looks so greasy and I have make up smeared all over my face. I grab some clothes and head to the bathroom to take a shower.

I plug my iPod into my radio and click on my Death Cab For Cutie playlist before stepping into the shower. After the wonderful, refreshing shower I get dressed. I pull my long light brown hair into a ponytail. I walk towards my bedroom door. I slowly opening it, I smell blueberries as soon as the door opens. I walk towards the living to see Katie had lit my favorite blueberry candle. I slipped on my blue vans and grabbed my house key. I don't know where I was going but I didn't care I haven't been out of the house.

I decided to go to the park down the block from the house. I loved going to the park when I was a little kid. The only thing I really loved about the park was the swings. They were the best thing ever. Even in school durning recess I would run to the swings and sit there by myself and swing singing random songs in the process. I walked up to the empty swing. As I began to swing I hear my name being called. I turn around to see John.

I hop of the swing and I began walking back to the house. I knew coming outside was a bad idea I should have stayed inside locked in my room. As I'm inches away from the how's I feel someone's hand on my shoulder. I turn around ready to slap John in the face but its Drew.

"Calm yourself it's just me" he says with a little laugh. I start to smile as he walks with me back to the house.

"I can't believe you actually came outside" I can't believe it either. I start to laugh. It feels good to laugh again. "oh and Katie is home she went upstairs to talk to you but she said your weren't in your room" I listen to him as I open the door to the house.

"Kory" I looked up to see someone I never wanted to see ever again.
