Life

Chapter 10

What? He wants to break up already? Why? We haven't been going out that long. I don't understand. Without even thinking, I call him. In school or not, I wanna know what the hell is going on. 

"Why are you calling me during school?" he snaps.

"I wanna know what your problem is saying that you wanna break up. Just because I spoke to Matt? Is it because you're tired of me?"

"I just think we should just take a break. I'll explain later."

"No. Don't even bother." I snap then hang up the phone. What was that all about?! I did nothing wrong. All I did was try to give him a great night, but he refused. Then I just happen to bump into Matt. I don't even know the guy. What is his deal all of a sudden?

The thought crosses my mind saying that I should stay home but I don't listen. I end up leaving and plan on not coming back for a long time. Too much is happening all of a sudden and I'm off to the mall. Thank god it's not packed. Everywhere I go, I see all these couples and they look so happy and having fun. I see some singles that way too but I'm really happy with Hunter. Now he wants to break up with me. 

I had so many ideas that we could've done as a couple. What will happen when I get back home? Will he move out without notice? I need to stop asking myself questions and start getting my mind off of things.

I wander around the mall and still nothing that catches my eye. But everything doesn't close until 10 so I have plenty of time to go other places as well. Maybe I should make a quick trip to a book store or maybe do a little shopping. You know what, I should do an early Christmas shopping that way I don't have to do it later? Nah, I rather shop for myself instead of others for right now. Just me time. I don't wanna sound selfish but many people do the same.

My phone rings as I'm in the zone of shopping for One Direction items. 

"Hello?"

"Azalea? Where are you?"

"I'm shopping."

"Well, come back home." he snaps. 

"Why do you want me home? I'm out having fun by myself. I needed to get my mind off of things and you talking to me isn't helping. You wanna break up with me and..." I stop myself realizing that I'm about to cry.

"Listen. I.."

I hang up the phone before he could finish. His voice makes my heart crumble. Being the strong girl I am, I try holding my tears back and finally pay for my merchandise and decide to go back home, but not because he told me to but because I want to.

I step outside and it continues to poor. My phone keeps ringing but I decide not to answer it.  I don't care if I get wet on the way home. It's not that far a walk but I will manage. I don't wanna ask Hunter for a ride because I'll never hear the end of it although I might not hear the end of it when I get home either. 

Good thing I listened to my instincts and not buy too many things. One bag of One Direction is good enough. I'm finally home and I open to the door. Ah, warmth. I haven't realized how soaked I was. I take everything off and place my bag on the side. 

"Why haven't you answered any of my calls?!" he yells from the kitchen.

I ignore him.

"Azalea! Answer me!" he walks calmly towards me. I want him away from me.

"Shut up! Can you not see I'm not in the mood for you?! You tell me you love me but then I get a text from you saying that you wanna break up? Are you that tired of me already? Are you done using me like everyone else? Was it that bad that I wanted to show you my love for you that night?"
