Depth fall

1.Goodbye

It was summer again. The heat and humidity had just begun to show. Oh, if only someone knew how much I hated this whether. I checked the time on my old watch. 6:00 a.m. I huffed. I was late again. This was third time in a row. I wondered why I just couldn't reach school on time? I parked the car in my usual spot and hurried inside.

"Chloe!" my boyfriend shouted across the corridor causing me to sigh. I looked up at him. Jeremy Cole. My fourth and perfect boyfriend stood there along with my best friend Amanda. I quickly turned away and walked straight into my first class.

Well, anyone would say that I was running away. But it wasn't my fault this time. Jeremy had spent more time with Amanda then he had with me. I wasn't jealous though nor was I complaining. But that was my exact point. Since Jeremy and I were in a relationship, he was supposed to spend time with me. Not with Amanda. He was required to like me. And I on the other hand was required to love him. But somehow this relationship was a failure. Either one of us didn't feel it for each other. We were perfect for the world, we never had a fight and understood each other very well.

But at this point, I wasn't sure if I wanted him. I wanted someone who could love me enough and whom I would long to be with. I wanted someone worth me. Jeremy was nice, but the more I dated him I realised that he wasn't my type. He was perfect with Amanda. I mean come on, clearly they liked each other. Besides it was time for yet another breakup now.

Finally the lunch bell rang and I was relieved of chemistry. Being grateful I walked towards the dining hall trying to avoid Jeremy and Amanda. I scanned the entire dining area, they were nowhere to be seen. Sending silent prayers I walked towards the sandwich counter.

"What the fuck do you think you are doing?". I cursed under my breath and turned around only to find Amanda standing right behind me.

"Duh?". I tried to stay as normal as possible. "Just getting my lunch."

"Yeah, you know that I am talking about Chloe."

I was damn sure that I had a blank expression on my face by now. But again this breakup was necessary. I had to do this. Although there was one problem, I couldn't face Jeremy.

"Come with me." I said pulling Amanda from the lunch counter. We walked into the parking lot and stopped right before my car.

"Okay...Care to tell me what's going on?"

I gathered all my courage and let out a deep breath. It was now or never. I had to do this and this was alright.

"I want to break up with Jeremy. I don't want this relationship anymore. I don't want to have a social life anymore. Okay? I just want to go home. So tell Jeremy that I am leaving."

"Huh? What makes you think that you can breakup and just leave like that? I need an explanation Chloe. I need reasons."

"Oh come on Amanda! When did you even care? It's not like my breakup is any of your business. So just help me here, and do as I say." I said while pulling out a book and a pen from my bag. I quickly scribbled on the book, tore the paper and handed it to her.

"Amanda please. I love Jeremy but only as a friend and you know it. You know that our relationship isn't going anywhere. So help me here, okay?"

Saying that, I hugged her and turned around to leave. I skipped school and headed home. It was a long day and I had enough of it.

                                                                          *************************

At night I tried to think about the entire day. I had blocked Jeremy, broken up my friendship with Amanda and had left school. It was unusual of me but I needed this. Assuring myself I thought about my note which by now must have reached Jeremy.

Dear Jeremy,

I hope that you understand. Things aren't as they used to be and you need to let me go. so fuck off and goodbye.

love,

Chloe.

I sighed Probably I had been a jerk but so had he. He had feeling for Amanda and no matter what I knew it. So yeah I didn't have to worry about him anymore. With that I dozed off to sleep.
