CHAPTER 73 – TAKE THE BLAME

He was on my mind 24/7.

A week now I hadn't be able to get him out of my mind. It wasn't as easy as I thought. I kept seeing him in school; he was coming in all of his classes but never made eye contact or spoke to me. He was keeping his distance and I hated that.

What had I done wrong for him to not want to see me?

I knew what a breakup was. That people were not supposed to speak with each other or be friends after that. I just couldn't do that. Couldn't accept that we had break up and now I couldn't talk to him.

I had only talked to Mel this week, who was keeping her distance as well. And our conversation hadn't exactly go as I hoped.

"Hey." I had greeted her when I saw her walking down the hallway.

She gave me what seemed to be an apologetic smile something that confessed that she knew about our breakup "Hey."

I didn't hesitate to ask; "How is he?"

That's what I only cared about; him. I wanted to know how was he doing. Was he thinking about me like I was? Probably not. Was he missing me like I was missing him? Probably not. If he did he would've called.

She had shrugged, not really giving me a straight up answer "He's... Okay I guess?"

I didn't want her to guess I wanted her to know.

"Oh." I said disappointed "Okay."

Her face seemed to soften. "Is not worth it Chloe. He's not worth it." She surprised me by saying.

I had look at her startled "What?" I had asked taken aback. Out of all the things I expected Mel to say about Ryder this wasn't one. "How can you say that? He's your best friend."

She scoffed "Trust me. I know much more about him than you do."

I doubted it. I didn't disagree she knew him longer than me; they had been best friends way before they were forced to be relocated to Oakheart. But I knew him much more than she did. He had shared with me things that no one knew. Not even her.

When she saw the disagreement on my face she felt the need to assure me; "You are better off without him Chloe."

And just like that she had walked away.

Days had passed since that incident and by walking down now on the same hallway I kept replaying that moment on my head and wonder how could she be possibly think that.

Ryder was my other half. I truly believed that. I never wanted someone else so much in my life. I never had loved someone like I loved him. And now that I had lost him I didn't know what to do. I didn't who I was. Who was I supposed to be.

And that angered me to no end.

I was hurt and at the same time angry. Both with myself and Ryder. Angry at myself because I couldn't go back to how I was before I met him, like life had suddenly stopped for me. Angry at Ryder because he had left me when he had promised me to stay. When he had said that he couldn't imagine not being with me. Were all these just words?
