Until I Met You

2

I opened the bathroom door and closed it behind me. Seeing nobody there, my eyes started to fill up with tears while I walked myself to the marble sink. Again, the bathroom was breathtaking and beautifully decorated, and it was making me sick, and I did not know why I could not appreciate it more than I was.

"Why is this happening to me?" I said slowly while staring in the mirror. Staring back at me, I saw a figure of a pathetic little girl that let her boyfriend control her life until there was nothing left.

*Flashback*

I walked to my locker to get my History book. I put the combination quickly and opened it, I grabbed my history book and closed my locker.
I feel hands covering my eyes. Butterflies fluttered inside my stomach and I turned around to see Marco staring at me. The look in his eyes excited me.
"Hey", he said while grabbing my left hand and stroking it with his thumb.

"Hi", I responded slowly, instantly blushing and feeling my cheeks getting warm.

Graduation day was coming soon, and Marco and I were deciding to move in together.
"I can't wait to live with the most beautiful girl", he said while hugging me tightly.
I hugged him back and stared at his eyes while saying,
"Me too".

*End of Flashback*

When did everything change? When did I let myself be pushed around by Marco and his stupid reputation?

All I wanted was true love, and I thought I felt it with him, but now, it's not the same anymore.
I felt a tear streaming down my face, and I took a tissue and swiped it away carefully.

I placed my purse on the counter and fixed my makeup, not wanting him to feel more embarrassed by knowing I cried.

"I'm going to get out of this", I thought while standing straight.

I opened the restroom door and walked the hallway that would lead me back to that table.
I glanced down to my feet, and not looking for a brief second, caused me to bump into someone's back, and made me fall straight to the ground.
