Part 6 - heart broken

Listen to 'Cold' by Jeff Williams
Kal's P.O.V

I had gone to the library first thing after grabbing my lunch from the canteen to wait for Gareth. It was about 5 min's of me sitting around eating my parma roll before he showed up.

He walked in slouched with his hood over his head. I stand up from my seat taking a couple of steps towards him. I peer under his hood seeing that he's on the verge of tears. He's got no one.

He stops a feet in front of me before braking the space between wrapping me into a hug. I hold him getting a couple of glances from around the room as he begins to sob. I give of a couple of death stares around at the others as they turn there attention elsewhere.

I release Gareth as he's calms down and we go sit down in the quite corner as more furs enter the library. "Have you had anything to eat?" I ask and he just shakes his head. I grabbed my half eaten roll and had it to him, "here eat some of this" i say as he contemplates before taking it. He ate the rest of it which didn't worry me, at least he's eating and not staving.

We sat together as i told stories about my childhood. He seemed to enjoy it, he lost his deep thought as i spoke my memories as like they were yesterday. I told him about the Duke of Ed adventurous journey's i did with my group of friends.

Shortly enough the bell rang, bringing him back to his thoughts. I hug him first this time, "I'll see after school at the front gate, ill be waiting there for you" i said with a smile trying to give happiness back to him before departing.

Ian's P.O.V

I had been sitting on the bed. Staring at the ceiling for hours. Would he want me back? After the way i left him? I kept pondering the day away until I realised that there's only one thing i can do. The right thing.

I shift to the side of the bed before sling my legs over the side sluggishly. I get changed into some nice clothes and put the red scarf that he gave me for my birthday around my neck. It was soft and still smelt like him. The smell i love.

I leave the hotel that i stayed in for the night as i head to the bus stop. I wait there with another couple, giggling and having fun together in each other's arms. It gave me hope that i could be like that once again with Gareth.

I waited and thought about how i was gonna find him. I pull out my phone and hesitate before placing it back in my pocket. I begin to think and then I remember, he would be at school. He never misses a day.

The bus pulls out in front of me pulling me out of my trace. I begin to feel my stomach crawl as i step onto the bus. Its filled with furs and i'm instantly surrounded by noise. I walk down the isles finding a spare seat before sitting down against the window.

A smallish female tiger with glasses seats next to me. I place me ear phones in and begin to listen to music in hopes to make me happy, but all it achieves is bring tears to my eyes. "You ok?" She asked over the music. I wipe my eyes before looking at her. "Im fine" i say not wanting to talk about it. She rummages through her bag, as she writes something down on a notepad before folding it and giving it to me.

I hold onto it before bringing to open it but don't as i place it in my pocket and stare out the window.

After a couple of hours i arrive back at the town i once left. i get of the bus with some of the others and the tiger. I look around at the town, now littered with puddles of last nights remains.

With only one goal in mind i pull out my phone and check the time 3:24pm. I put my phone away and begin to walk to the school. The bus stop wasn't far way which was good but ever step closer i made, my gut felt like it was being torn to pieces.

I got to the front of the stopping looking at some of the familiar faces from a far. I wait to see the familiar soft cyan and white fur.

I see him appear and begin to walk towards him and get happy butterflies in my stomach. I pick up my pace as he hadn't notice me yet as i wait for the cars to pass that are picking up some of the students. I see him stop as the cars passing cease to stop.

I stare at him as a collie walks over to him, hugging him from behind surprising him. Who is he? I ask in my mind as i see Gareth turning around and hugging him back. I felt like my heart stopped. Tears began to form in my eyes as my happy expression is lost. Could he have replaced me that easily?

I stand in the open as the cars disappear. Still without noticing me the continue to walk. The tears fall from my eyes as i slide the scarf of around me neck holding it in my paw. The tears fall from my face on the scarf as i throw it on the ground landing partially in a puddle before turning away.

The scarf was left, broken and had lost its purpose. It will be forgotten and soon will fad away from existence much like everything else given time.

I walk to the bus stop from once i came. I stick my hands in the pocket holding back the tears as I escape the sight of others. I fell the piece of paper in my pocket as i pull it out. I can see your having a bad time, so if the world come crumbling down, give me a call - 1468 448 694.
