Angel Tragedy

The Dance

I was just arriving at the 8th grade dance. A lot of people i didn't know were here, causing my anxiety to rise but i knew i had to power through it. My girlfriend at the time, whose name is Kyra, was the only reason i was coming to this stupid thing. My best friend, Alexis was here with my ex, Arianna, which made me feel more comfortable. Little did i know this was going to be one of the worse nights of our lives. I walked over to my bestfriend and talked to her as we waited for our dates to arrive. "Hey Alexis," I said. "Hey Toby, you're early," Alexis replied. "Yea, we left from the house a bit earlier than usual so my mom could pick up my sisters from my dads and it ended up taking barely any time at all." "So why are you here so early Alexis" "I made my mom leave earlier because I didn't want to be late," Alexis stated. "Oh well ok." Me being my annoying self, I start poking her and after about a million pokes she was fed up with it. "Stop!" I just shook my head stubbornly and continued to poke her repeatedly. After about 5 minutes of me poking her, our dates finally show up. They both walk up to us with smiles on their faces. Or was that just my imagination? Who knows? "Hey princess!" "Hey.."replied Arianna. I've noticed that she keeps looking at me with a face that looks filled with...jealousy? "Ayee!" Geez leave it up to Kyra to be the loudest one in the room. "Hey Kyra." I didn't mean for it to sound so quiet. I hope she didnt notice. I doubt it. She doesn't care about me. I bet she can't wait to break up with me.

About 40 minutes into the dance and I was still sitting up against the wall listening to music, without spending barely 5 minutes with my girlfriend. Aren't I the best boyfriend ever? Truth is, I don't really love Kyra. I only accepted to date her because I didn't want to upset her. Yep, that's right she asked me out. I decided to walk around because why not? When I reached the middle of the gym Arianna approached me with her arms crossed. Was she mad at me? "What is it Arianna?" "I'm not happy Toby" she replied with her arms still crossed. "How come?" "Because Toby you're with her and not me." "Wait, are you jealous?" Saw this one coming. "Of course I'm jealous Toby!" After she yelled that, she just stomped away. Geez, if she wasnt mad, she is now. After I decided to go back to my little corner, I saw that Alexis was there, crying her eyes out. I ran to her and found out that Arianna just dumped her! What the hell! I saw Arianna in the crowd looking at us and apparently she saw me glaring at her because she stopped looking at us. I tried my best to comfort Alexis but it wasn't really helping. Since her dad had showed up about 5 minutes after, I thought the least I could do was stay by her side until she left so I did exactly that. Shortly after she left, my mom showed up. I was still extremely pissed, so when I got in the car I slammed the door. "What's wrong Toby?"my mother asked. I wasn't in the mood for any bullshit so I just yelled,"Drive damnit!" After I said that me and my mom argued for a while until I decided I had enough and cut the arguement short. After that the ride home was silent. Once we got home I stomped into my room and slammed the door and locked it. I just kept thinking about how pissed I was until I realized, this was all my fault. I was the reason that Arianna dumped Alexis. It's my fault she is so upset right now. It's my fault this happened. Eveything is all my fault. All my fault. At this point, I was in the middle of a breakdown. That doesn't matter though. I'm sure Alexis is in so much more pain than this...I can only hope she doesn't get depressed from this but of course, that's exactly what happened.
