Love is the Cure

12.

Using the wall to sturdy myself I finally stood on my feet in front of Amber.

"Jackson?" She was asking herself more than me.

"You're who I've been texting who I've broken up with Ryan for because you convinced me to?"

"Look, I was just giving an opinion I didn't make you do nothing." I defended myself.

"I never said you did and I also never said it was a mistake breaking up with Ryan. You just never told me,"

"I was crippled and cant breath on my own?" I finished for her.

"Not what I was gonna say, I was gonna say why didn't you tell me I knew you? That I went to school with you? That all of my classes but one is shared with you? That we used to date in middle school?"

"Maybe because as soon as I became a cripple you broke up with me! I've been rejected once I don't want to be again! You couldn't handle me being sick, you couldn't handle me being sick." I was raising my voice now.

She opened her mouth and closed it before opening it again "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry? That's all you have to say? Whatever, apology accepted you can block my number now because I don't need your rejection or pity I'm happy with who I am." I grabbed the handle to my oxygen tank and started walking away.

"Wait!"

I didn't turn around but I stopped in my tracks.

"I broke up with Ryan because I wanted to because you advice opened my eyes... And" I could hear a deep sigh escape her lips as if she was thinking she should tell me what she's about to say "I started to have feelings for you."

"Well now you know who the 'you' is so let's stop acting like this'll go anywhere because you're way too good for me and I'm way too low for you on the 'popularity chart' so let's just act like none of this happened because you could never EVER love somebody like me." Without ever looking at her I started walking away again.

"Yet I do." She called after me.

I halted for a second before walking out the school doors and sitting on a bench in the rain texting my mom and telling her to come pick me up.
