ONE SIDED LOVE

ONE SIDED LOVE

        I walk to the park to meet my crush, Brandon. He friend zoned me right after I told him I liked him last year. We still hang out though.  The cold autumn breeze licks at my fase as I walk, bringing out of my thoughts. I begin to take in the scenery, a squirrel scampers by a tall oak tree with orange and yellow leaves. Old, dry, dead leaves cover the path.

        Every step iI take results in a crunch. I am just about at the Poplar tree that Brandon and I always meet at. I eventually reach the tree. I flop down beside it.

        I hear foot steps aproching

       "Hey" it's Brandon. My heart leaps up to my throat, but I contain my excitement, "

       Hi" I say in a monotone. I look up at him. His blue eyes hold my gaze, his lips slightly curved into a smile.

       "Callie?" Brandon's voice pulls me out of his deep blue eyes. I look away quickly  slightly embarrassed.

      "Brandon! Brandon!" I hear a voice calling him. Beandon rockets up. I look over and see it's Grace, his girlfriend. I look down not wanting anyone to see the envy burning inside of me. I sneek a glance at her.

          Grace is wearing her signature black tights with stripped knee high socks and black converse shoes. I let out a sigh. Brandon waits for her to approach. She sashays close by the second. When she gets close to Brandon he says to her

        "Hey babe I'm so happy to see you!" I start to feel awkward. I look away but not soon enough. I see it happen, he pulls Grace close into a french kiss. There lips glide across each others. I can't look away my heart being shattered I am stunned.

         I feel my heart physically break. I was a cracked window but know I'm fully broken. That kiss, you could say detonated my heart. I abruptly get up. I feel something hot running down my cheek, tears.

        I turned and ran tears clouded my vision. Trying to escape my heart break. I begin to slow as I am farther down the path. I sit down and have a good long cry. Brandon probably hasn't even noticed that I'm not there.

        My heart, breaks. My soul, shatters. My life a mess. Your heart, thrives.  Your soul, grows. Your life, better than ever.

         I have died alittle because of seeing that kiss. Every time I replay that seen in my heart dies more. I can feel it, breaking. Someone busts up my heart more and more. If my heart was a window it would be shattered. It looks just like a jigsaw puzzle, but it will never be put together, ever.

Brandon was the only one that could put the jigsaw puzzle together.
