Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true.
Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Loosing someone hurts.
Everyone confuses these things with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us...
The second the bell went to dismiss class I ran up to Jack before he could even stand up. He stared at Geo and I in shock whilst still sitting down, and then slowly stood up to properly face us.
"Hello..?" He said, sounding genuinely confused.
I looked at Geo with a frown, and Geo gave me one back.
"It's Lucy, Jack." I told Jack, feeling my heart sink when my name seemed to simply make him look more confused.
"Am I meant to know you??" Jack spat. He was now sounding really irritated.
I seriously don't think I've ever been more confused in my life.
"Y-yes! I was your.." I felt my legs tremble and tears fill up inside of my eyes whilst I stared at the floor. I was about to say your old girlfriend, but quickly stopped myself when realising that Geo can't find out about that as he'd then know that he got cheated on. Instead, I looked up at him, tears streaming down my cheeks now, and said in the tiniest squeak I think my voice could possibly pull off: "Did you loose your memory?"
I expected Jack's tensed up body to soften, but he did quite the opposite. His face turned red from anger and I could see that his hands were clenched.
"I swear if I hear that word again I'm going to explode.." He hissed. I wasn't quite sure if he was talking to himself or to me, but what I do know is that instead of my heart beating because of how in love I am with Jack, my heart was beating because I was scared. I was scared about Jack and what he's now become. This isn't him. He's changed.. and I don't like it.
But what if he hasn't changed? What if this is what Jack's always been like but he just had a soft spot for me? What if this is how he treated Isla..?
"I've forgotten everything, if you must now." He told me angrily. He was looking into my eyes with such a glare that I felt my body slowly walk backwards. Hazel now stood up and quickly grabbed Jack's hand, almost as though to stop him from going anywhere near me. I couldn't help but stare at their hands in jealousy. "I don't want anything to do with anyone from my past, because I know that they broke me apart." He then looked me up and down with such disgust that I felt incredibly insecure, something that I've never felt when I'm with Jack. "By the way, if I did ever date you please know that I made a big mistake. You're defiantly not my type." He then walked away, pulling Hazel with him.
Hazel looked at me and mimed: "I'm so sorry", but I just simply stared back at her, tears still escaping from my eyes.
I then turned to Geo and hugged him, bursting into tears on his chest. I was aware that Mr Clarke and his students were still in the class, looking at me. I didn't care in the slightest.
"It'll be okay." Whispered Geo, rubbing my back after giving my head a kiss. This only made me cry even more, because I could sense the uncertainty in Geo's voice. He knew that it's never going to be okay with Jack, I know it. And that broke my heart. Although I shouldn't love Jack, I do and it's going to take me forever to get over him. I've shared so many unforgettable memories with him that it's impossible to ever look at Jack as though he's a stranger.
But now.. his eyes are only on Hazel. The by the far prettiest girl in my year, and the nicest. I know that she deserves him and he deserves her, yet I still want to break their relationship and have Jack all to myself. However that would never be possible, not only because Jack hates me now but because I know that I should stay with Geo.
I then let go and wiped my tears, feeling a wave of relief when everyone, including Mr Clarke had left the classroom.
"I hate seeing you upset." Geo sighed, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"I'm sorry for crying over him." I apologised, "I swear I love you more than him.."
Geo then hugged me to his chest again and rested his chin on my head. "It's okay.." He reassured me, running his fingers down my hair. "I did worse to you with Loren, so I can't really be mad at you."
The word Loren always made me feel worried and a little sick. She's tried to mess my life up so much, and mostly done a good job at it, that even simply hearing her name gave me anxiety.
But I forced myself to control my breathing so Geo wouldn't notice me panicking.
