Love and Heartbreak

Crushed Dreams

As Emma gazed out of her window, she saw the soft snow fall on the floor and the trees slightly swaying because of the wind. She had so much on her mind. It all happened at once. There was no escape. Not even her bedroom was sanctuary.

"ROAR! I'M A BIG LION! LOOK! EM, LOOK! ROOAAAR!" A tiny voice shreaked.

'Oh no!' Emma thought.

It was her youngest sister Jennifer. Jennifer was 4 years old, 11 years younger than Emma. She was very energetic but Emma wasn't in the mood to play with her.

'Jen... Please leave me alone... I'm not in the mood..." Emma sighed.

Stifled giggling came from the corner of Emma's room. Melissa, Emma's younger sister, was trying to annoy Emma. And it was working. Emma had had enough.

"RIGHT! THAT'S IT! Both of you - GET OUT OF MY ROOM NOW! BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASSES!"

As soon as she got up, both her sisters ran out of the room as fast as they could. Emma locked the door and fell to the floor. Tears streamed down her face. What was she going to do? There was nothing to do. She remembered everything that happened in the last couple of hours. Her face was wet with tears everywhere.

She looked around her room and sat on her bed. Once again, she looked out her window. This time, with pure anger and sadness. She thought about what Jake had just said to her. She thought about the row they had, how he said he wanted nothing to do with her. It wasn't her fault, was it? At least, she didn't think it was. After all that happened, she wondered, would she ever stop loving Jake? Will she forget him as time went on? Would she forget how much he hurt her? Life without Jake would be so much different.

Tears came flooding back in Emma's eyes as she remembered how she first met Jake and how everything felt as if it was falling apart now. Her phone suddenly started vibrating. It was Jake. It seemed as if he knew she was thinking about him. But she didn't pick up. She couldn't take the pain as it is and talking to Jake would make it worse.

Her friend, Skye texted her.

Skye: Em, you okay? Call me asap x

She wasn't in the mood for talking to anyone. She went through the first few texts Jake had sent her. One of them remained in her mind:

Don't ever talk to me you bitch

It hurt. It hurt like hell. She was angry and upset at the same time. Jake was her childhood friend and the boy she loved yet he blamed her for everything. He didn't even want to hear her side.

It was all too much to handle. Jake had texted her again. The fifth one in the last two minutes. She didn't want to check them. She didn't want to read about how much of a bitch she was.

Emma headed straight for the door. She walked out of the house. She didn't know where to go. All she knew was that she was just walking. Just walking. Away from the madness...

Hey! It's Emma! I'm probably busy right now doing whatever so yeah so leave a message after the beep and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

Beep!

(Skye): Ems! Call me asap! We need to talk. Love you!

(Emma's mum): Honey, where did you go? Call me when you get this and stay safe. I love you.

(Jake): Emmy pick up! I'm really sorry. It wasn't your fault.

(Jake): *sobs* Emma please... I'm sorry.

(Jake): I love you. So so much. Please talk to me.

(Jake): Emma?! Where are you?! Everyone's out looking for you! Come home please.

(Emma's mum): Honey?! Please call me! We're all worried sick. Jake hasn't stopped looking for you. He needs you. We all need you.

(Skye): *sobs* Babe, please come back. I miss you so much... Jake... he misses you... We all do.

(Jake): I love you Em. I always will.

He looked down at her, wishing that he could be forgiven. Wishing that he had a second chance. Tears filled his eyes and he couldn't bear to look at her.

"I love you Em. I always will. I know it's too late for that but I just had to tell you. None of it was your fault. I was being stupid. Just please forgive me..."

All that followed was silence.

He placed the flowers on her grave and walked away sobbing. There was nothing else he could do. Emma was gone from his life. Forever.
