Broken Heart

Chapter 3 : Curt Mega

Chapter 3

A few days later... 

Riker POV

I thought things might get better. But big surprise, they didn't.

I was forced to leave my room for a minimum of 5 hours every day. And I had to go outside and get fresh air for at least 1 hour unless it was raining or something. Mom said it would improve my mood. But the only thing I think it was improving was my desire to end everything.

Dad gave me my phone back though, so now I had things to do. I was currently on my way to the park to get fresh air. Paige was over my house doing stuff with Rydel, and I just wanted to get away.

Once I got to the park, I sat down under a tree, making sure it wasn't the tree I sat under when I met Paige. Too many freaking memories...

I started scrolling through my contacts, debating whether or not certain people would miss me if I was gone. And then I came to one name...

Curt Mega.

We used to be on Glee together as Warblers. We became pretty close friends. And then the whole rejected and getting used by girls thing happened. And I kind of just kept to myself after that. I didn't want to talk to anyone anymore.

I started to wonder if Curt ever thought about me anymore. We were pretty close, and we knew almost everything about each other. Wouldn't he be surprised to see how I am today?

I accidentally clicked on his name, and it started calling him. It took me a few moments to figure out how to hang up. Don't judge me. It's been a while since I've had my phone.

But then about a minute later, I got a call from Curt. He's probably wondering why I called and then hung up... Great...

I answered, even though I really didn't want to.

"Hello?"

"Riker?"

"Yeah... Hey..."

"Um... You called about a minute ago... But then something happened..."

"Yeah... Sorry... It was an accident."

"I haven't talked to you in a while. We should catch up sometime. Do you want to go grab a coffee or something?"

"Yeah."

I smiled slightly. He cares about me and wants to be around me. I'm not a nobody to him!

"Ok. Well when are you free?" Curt asked.

"Um... I don't really have any plans for the summer..."

"Alright, well what about tonight?"

"Tonight works... I have to tell my mom though..."

"That's fine. Where do you want to meet? The Starbucks we used to go to after our Glee rehearsals?"

"Yeah."

"Ok. What time?"

"Whenever."

"Maybe 7:00 tonight?"

"Yeah."

"Ok. I'll see you there, Riker."

"Ok... Bye."

"Bye."

I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. Somebody cares about me! I haven't felt this excited for something in a long time.

Later...

Riker POV

I may or may not have been 20 minutes early for our coffee date thingy. I couldn't help it. I was just really excited that somebody wanted to hang out with me.
