The Unforgettable

Pt. 4

~CHAPTER 4~

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

I get up from my seat and make my way out of class. While walking down the hallway, I see a lot of couples kissing, hugging, holding hands.... and I'm just there. Walking on my own. It's not that bad to be single though, it's just the thought of being alone that makes people think they need a boyfriend or a girlfriend.

While I was opening my lock, my books slipped out of my hands and fell on the floor.

"Oh shit," I whisper to myself. Once I had opened my locker, I reached for my books but a blonde-haired guy was already on the floor picking it up. "Oh thanks,"

"No problem, just thought i could help. You seemed a little stressed," he says as he stands up. He looks at me with his gorgeous sky blue eyes and suddenly I felt like he was staring into my soul.

"Oh. Um are you a mind reader or something?" I say sarcastiicaly

"Nah. I was in your second period class. And I heard the whole 'drama' between you and that girl,"

"Oh ya... That. It was nothing though.. just an ex best friend," I try to smile

"Ouuu wanna talk?" he says and laughs afterwards "oh wait, I'm Kyle by the way,"

"Tss- I'm Jen and no, not at all."

"Ok then. Nice meeting you - Jen. See ya around."

"You too."

I shut my locker and to my right, I see Austin just casually leaning on his locker facing my direction.

"Oh my God! What the hell? You scared me!" I screamed

"Well that was a cute conversation. With um- what's his name again? Tyler? Mason?"

"It's Kyle, genius. You're not so good at evesdropping huh?"

"Actually I knew that. Just wanted to make sure," he starts walking towards me from his locker "so tell me, what happened exactly in english class? Between you and Heather?"

"Why don't you ask her? She is your girlfriend after all,"

"GIRLFRIEND? Wait what? You think Heather and I are dating?"

"You're not?" I say sounding really confused. Only because I am confused. "What do you mean you're not dating? You guys broke up?"

"Broke up? We were never together! Is that what you thought this whole time? That we're dating?" He asked

"That's not what I thought. That's what I knew! Or at least that's what Heather said,"

"Oh and you're supposed to believe whatever comes out of Heather's mouth?"

"No actually, I didn't at first.. Until I saw you guys kiss. At the park, where we first kissed,"

"Jen, I don't wanna lie to you, I kissed her and you wouldn't understand why. But all i could think about was you. Us breaking up was the hardest thing I had to go through my whole life. Trust me,"

"Oh okay Austin. So why? Why did you break up with me?"

"It's complicated, Jen. I wish I could tell you but I can't. You wouldn't understand why I had to!"

"You're right. I don't. Just don't bother, It's not like it'll change my mind about you." I turn around and a tear comes running down my cheek, followed by another and another.

I kept walking and walking. I didn't know where else to go. I cover my face to wipe my tears until I bumped into someone. I look up and saw him again.

"Kyle?"

"Jen, what's wrong?"

"I need to go. I can't talk, I'm sorry," My head was aching, I could feel my heart pounding.

"Whoa whoa whoa Jen, slow down. Do you wanna talk about it?"

"No please just-" I didn't bother finishing up my sentence. I had to get out of here and go somewhere I can calm myself down. I tried to leave but I felt a tug on my arm bringing me back. Kyle pulled me closer to him.

"You can trust me," He hugs me tightly making me feel like I was safe again. The way Austin used to make me feel.

"I- I- just don't know what to do anymore." I press my head against his chest and the pain started to fade away one by one.

"You're gonna be okay," he says "I promise."
