Those Blue Eyes

Chapter Sixteen

Chapter Sixteen

I woke up the next morning with a huge headache and my eyes puffy. I had fallen asleep yesterday after I had failed to get a hold of Luke, despite my desperate attempts. I called him three more times before I went to bed, he never answered. London had tried to comfort me, but nothing worked. I just wanted to talk to him and for him to tell me it was a big mistake.

London saw me sit up so she called from the bathroom, "How you feelin'?"

"Horrible," I told her and laid back down. I rolled over so she wouldn't be able to see me. I could feel the hot tears spring into my eyes when I thought about Luke.

"I would say I'm sorry, but I know you don't want to hear it," she said as she came and sat next to me. She started to play with my hair and I knew she was trying to make me feel better, but I wanted to be alone.

I abruptly got up out of my bed and walked to my dresser. I opened the drawers to find my running clothes. I dug through piles of clothes, but I couldn't find them. I huffed and turned around. Across the room London was standing with my clothes in her hands.

"I did your laundry last night," she told me and handed the clothes to me.

"Thank you," I said to her and gave her a hug.

"I figured your clothes wouldn't clean themselves." I laughed and walked into the bathroom to change. I gasped when I saw my reflection in the mirror. My eyes were red and extremely puffy. You could tell I had been crying. I hadn't even bothered to clean my makeup off last night, so I had mascara lines down my face and my hair was matted against my head. I'm surprised London didn't run away when I got up, I looked scary and disgusting.

I changed my clothes and threw my limp, lifeless hair into a ponytail on top of my head. My shoes were waiting for me right where I left them, by the door. After my shoes were tied, I was off. I didn't even bother to grab my phone. All I want is to escape and be by myself, completely and totally alone.

My feet pounded on the hard pavement as I ran away from everything. I cleared my mind and only focused on my breathing. In- out. In- out. I didn't realize it, but I was running to the song Headphones by Britt Nicole.

She gave it her best , She tried to fit in

She tried to be cool, But she never could win

Her mom says she's great, The kids think she's weird

Honestly she wish she could disappear

Why you try, try to be like the rest of them

When you know there's so much more within

There's only one you

Here's what ya' gotta do

Whoa, whoa...

Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones

Love, love's coming through your headphones

Anytime you feel alone, put on your headphones

Love, love's coming through your headphones

L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones

L-o-o-ove is coming through your headphones

He gets in his car, He falls apart

It came to an end, And now it's breaking his heart

He wants to give up,Wants to try again

Honestly he doesn't know what he's feeling
