Truth.

Part VI

It was 3:25, and the movie that Angelica was going to was at 3:30. I decided that I wanted to go alone, so here I am, standing in a movie theater in black shorts, black shoes, grey socks, and a red crewneck hoodie, waiting for something to happen. Oh look, there’s Angelica. Captain America.. Wow. Okay. I go to the ticket vendor and buy a ticket to Captain America, and I follow her into the theater. I hide in the dark corner where no one can see me, and tie my hair up so that I look different from behind. Angelica’s sitting two rows away from the corner I’m crouching in, and she seems to be talking to a guy in the hood.

“What the.. Cmon dude. Take the hood off.”

And then the guy took his hood off. Now that was a coincidence. I couldn’t see because of how dark it was, so I move to the other corner to see if I could get better look at him. or her. I squint my eyes.

“Oh my god…” Tears begin to fill my eyes. It was him. It was really him. Nicholas Pierce. My boyfriend… I run up the stairs so that they don’t see me, and I sit on the row right above them. They’re holding hands.. At this point, my body was shot with anger.. I was filled with so much anger, betrayal, and sadness all at the same time. I’ve seen enough. I got out of my chair and run out of the theater, sobbing so hard that I begin to hyperventilate. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t control myself. I look around, only to see Angelica and Nick walking out, and once again, holding hands. Words couldn’t explain the pain I was feeling inside. I felt so neglected. So worthless. Like I wasn’t good enough. I take the other exit, and run to my car, and sob inside it. I started the car and just lost it.. I felt so damaged. My body was trembling with hatred. I just wanted to kill them. I had to control myself.

“Breathe, Maddi. Breathe.” I thought to myself.

I see Nick and Angelica walk out of the theater, and I step on the gas. I zoom right past them, almost hitting them with my car. Nick hits the car, and yells, “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?! KILL US?!”

“Shit..” I think to myself.

Nick and Angelica then walk up to the car window. I looked at Nick with infuriation, and at Angelica with disapproval.

“Maddi.. I-”

I slammed on the gas once again before Nick could say another word. Once I got home, Melissa was there to ask what happened.

“Maddi! What happened?!” I looked at her with my swollen eyes. I was destroyed. I didn’t answer her, and just ran up to my room, and cried for the longest time. I cried myself to sleep, and woke up at around 6:45. I went downstairs to talk to Lissa, only to see Nick downstairs, sitting in the main living room pacing.
