"Isabell Chapman." The principal says. I walk up there and get my high school diploma. I passed. Everyone cheers, I go back to my seat. Jasmine, Emma, my mom, and her boyfriend (that I actually like) are all waiting for me.
"Where is Luke?" I ask.
"I don't know, he promised he would be here." Jasmine says.
They call Peyton's, Joe, and Kade's names. Still no sight of Luke. They eventually get to Luke's name, but he isn't here. He isn't anywhere. They call his name a couple more times and then skip to the next person. I get up from my seat and start looking around. I finally see him and he's talking to Jake. His face is red with anger. Jake says something and he looks right at me, then turns around. I march right over there.
"You know they called your name." I say.
"Does I look like I care?" He spits, the venom just oozing out.
"What's your problem?" I yell.
"YOU, YOU are my problem. See YOU had to say yes to the other dates. YOU had to care for me. YOU had to be at the hospital. News flash I don't like YOU. I planned everything out. Jake then gives Luke a wad of cash.
"Wait, you played me."
"For a nerd I'm surprised you didn't figure that out."
Sobs racking my body. "You said you loved me."
"I lied."
"You-You-ughhh."
"I don't like you. Get that through your brain."
"Your lying." I sob
"Darling I don't lie." He says, with no emotion. It's like he's a robot. I look at him and then I do what most girls would do. I slap him and then I run and run and run, until I can't run anymore. I find myself at my house. I fumble with my keys for a little while then I finally get the door open. I run upstairs and cry. I cry my eyes out. I don't know how long it's been. I've just sat there and cried. My mother, Jasmine, and Emma come bursting in my room.
"What happened we couldn't find you." My mom says. She looks at me and then runs up to me.
"Mommy muffin is crying." Emma says tugging at her moms sweater.
"Hey Emma can the big girls talk for a little while." My mom ask.
She skips out of my room. I remember when I was young like her and didn't have to worry about drama or boys. I remember this happy little girl and now this happy little girl got her heart broken. What did I do wrong? Why do the best people get hurt?
"What happened Isabella?" My mom ask.
"Luke-he-he played me. He told me that he didn't love me."
"Wait till I get my hands on my son. Oh I'm going to kill him." Jasmine says.
"Wait, something's going on. Luke wouldn't do that. Especially to my daughter." My mom says.
"Well he did." I turn over and just lay in bed crying. A moment later Emma walks in. She jumps in my bed and we hug. Another minute later Bullet comes in. I fall asleep with both of them in my arms.
I returned to school Monday and saw Luke kissing Chelsea. So it's official. He was actually playing me. I walk by and he looks up. He looks sad, but I know that's fake I know it's not real. I get through the last few days. During the summer I don't go anywhere except to scope out my college. I didn't even go to the movies with Alex and Peyton. We don't talk about Luke anymore. They knew that I never wanted to talk about him. Everyone knew about the fiasco. Everyone knew he played me. Alex actually punched a boy because he asked how much I was. Maybe Luke wasn't lying, but maybe he was...
I still cried...
I still hurt...
I KNEW that my heart would never heal...
