Forgetting the Skater

PROLOGUE

“Face it!” her head was held high, bragging.  She shifted her weight to her right leg and placed her hand on her hip.  “We won.”

These words made my bridge break.  I knew it was true, I knew I didn’t stand a chance against the four of them.  But I was a dreamer.  I had hoped he wouldn’t choose their side, but seeing him there, with that giant smirk on his face, as he just watched them taunt me...

I couldn’t take it anymore.  I kept my head level, refusing to show any weakness in front of them.  I wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of seeing me break.  I slowly walked past them, slowly walked towards his smirking figure.

“Did everything we've shared mean this little to you?” I saw the doubt flicker through his eyes, only to be replaced with hatred.

“Guess so,” he gave nothing away, he showed nothing besides his hate.

“I was willing to forgive you,” I met his eyes, and for the first time in years, I couldn’t break through to him.  My gaze always pierced through his shield, it always made him open up, show his true feelings.  But not today.  And probably never again.  Our bond was broken, cut by four girls that played with my feelings.

 “Forgive me?!  There’s nothing to forgive.” If only he knew.  If only he could see what he was doing to me.

I walked out of his life that day.  And he didn’t even try to stop me.  On the contrary, he gave me a push.  He probably forgot about me.  But I didn’t.  Because now still, I would cry.  I’m still holding on to a little bit of hope.  But I know it’s only a matter of time before they cut that too.

And every time I see something that reminds me of him, I think about that day when he threw it all away.  When he forgot me…
