Painful Goodbye
Love does not hurt you, but disappointment, regret, and stupidity do.
Damon was true to his words, especially the part where he will go somewhere far. Emy slowly walked towards her classroom and closed her eyes for a short time and took a step to the classroom's door frame then opened them, hoping to see Damon's silhouette in the window area again... but no. There was no sign of Damon. She purposely came to class later than usual because she wanted to, she hoped that he will still be there.
"What's with your face?" Bret suddenly pulled her out of her state of disappointment with a disgusted voice.
"Have you seen Damon?" she asked.
"Well yes, I saw him early this morning at the Dean's office." he replied.
"Did he got in trouble?" she tried to act innocent.
"He just talked to our dean to inform him that he will be transferring school." he shrugged.
The confirmation from her friend just added more amount of pain in her chest.
"Did you guys fight or something?" Bret asked.
"No.. we're just like the usual." she plastered a smile in her face.
"Good morning class..." their teacher greeted as soon as he entered the classroom.
Emy tried so hard to focus on their lesson. Bret would ask random questions and start whisper-talk but she couldn't find any enthusiastic energy to be happy.
As soon as the dismissal bell rang, she went to the same bleacher where Damon and her talked. She was hoping that he would still be there but a part of her knows that he wouldn't be. She clearly saw him walked away from her yesterday. She could not understand why she is hurting when clearly all she wanted at the start was a pretend boyfriend and she was even hesitant to open her heart to Damon. But now, all she can't seem to get over Damon and the fact that she got dumped when she finally realized she is starting to fall for him.
"Hey.. I've been looking everywhere for you.." a panting voice spoke behind her.
She felt a little excited to hear that it was a male's voice but when she realized who it was, her excitement went down. "Why would you be looking for me?" she asked while looking at the open field.
"I wanted to talk to you about last time.."
"I don't want to talk about it." she said and attempted to walk away but he grabbed her arm.
"Please mine.."
"Stop it Tommie! How I wished you never came back because of you I lost my one shot at happiness!" she shouted with anger and she suddenly realized tears were already flowing on her cheeks.
He obviously was taken aback but he didn't show her any sadness, he is willing to fight for her and he will. "What happened?" he asked hoping to hear that Damon and Emy broke up.
"None of your business." she retrieved her arm and walked away from him as fast as she could.
She needs to talk to Damon. He needs to know how she really feel.
Emy went to Bret who was in the student council's office. He is the only person who knows where most of the hotties live and she remembered that her gay best friend liked Damon once, before they went on pretend dating.
"Hi.." she said as she saw Bret busy writing something.
"Oh my my my gosh, what brought you here?" he looked at her like a miracle just happened.
