"What could you possibly want from me? You already dumped me, with no warning" he stood on the steps of my sorority house, as I had been picking off dead flower blooms "Charlotte, I know your mad at me, and you have every right to be, but..." "But what? Oliver I'm not getting back with you, we're not hooking up one last time for old times sake, and I've given you back all your stuff" "technically, you threw it out your window and at me" I turned pointing the clippers at him "don't" I warned, he stepped back, holding his hands in surrender "my parents are still expecting you to come along with me on the vacation" he blurted out, I bite my lip returning to the pots, trying very hard to not think of the spa, rafting, cruise, it was one hell of a vacation.
"My mom asked for your help to plan it... How am I supposed to explain..." I cut him off "you explain it like this. Mom, dad, yeah I'm a jackass who broke up with Charlotte out of the blue, giving her no reason, probably so I could just go fuck a Korean girl in my advanced Trig class" I tossed my brunette hair, still perfectly intact from the last blowout, over my shoulder, moving in to the next pot. "Woah, hey now... I did not break up with you for a Korean girl. I like my girls all American" he tried to joke with me but I just glared "good thing I'm French" he rolled his eyes at me. AT ME! You have got to be fucking kidding me. "Oliver if you don't leave I'm going to end up stabbing you with these clippers" "those are called pruning shears" he corrected me. I lost it and stormed away to the back patio.
"Charlotte" he frowned following me "do I need to blow my rape whistle?" I asked pulling the whistle out and putting it in my mouth "listen just hear me out, I know your mad at me, but think of the vacation, you were so excited to go, and my mom was looking forward to having another girl go... Do it for yourself, three weeks of paradise" it did sound so wonderful, because after the cruise it was a week at a house in Jackson Wyoming, rafting, hiking, shopping, a spa day with his mom, who I adored. "And all we have to do is pretend we're still a couple?" I asked, trying very hard to not see the excitement in his face "yes, it's all we have to do" I sighed, trying to not look enthused. "I'll do it" he smiled reaching out to hug me "don't" I warned "your a champ, you know, a fantastic person, a wonderful woman, so lovely to be around" he was still smiling "if I'm so wonderful then why the break up?" I crossed my arms, his smile had fallen off his face "Charlotte..." He groaned "what? Did you get bored, because you could of just said something and I would of changed something, we could of tried something weird... Or... Is there someone else, or are you gay, or bi, or... What the hell happened?" I asked trying not to get too emotional "because if your gay, I will totally understand" I added, he laughed a little rubbing his head "I'm not gay, or bi, or asexual, and there isn't someone else, and I didn't get bored, your a great person..." "Then what Oliver, because I'm confused"
"Lotte, come get your boxes out of the living room!" Miranda yelled opening a window, she then gasped and shut it "you know what, just forget it, whatever it is I don't care, because I'm going to find someone so, so much better than you, which honestly wouldn't be that hard" I walked off, making sure it was a walk he would remember. Running into the house, I fell onto a couch and started crying.
"Lotte, are you ok?" My little, Katie asked, I quickly wiped away my tears "peachy keen" I sniffled, but she saw right through my pathetic attempt to be ok, so being the good person she was, she hugged me. "Now help me load up my car, so I can get rid of my stuff" I wiped away another stray tear, smiling through all the emotional pain, just like I was taught.
