We can learn to love again. •
It's been two months and four days since you last spoke.
In the school halls, he wears a smile on his face and he's laughing with his football buddies and you wonder if you're ever on his mind.
It pains you that you've disappointed him. There was a time when he looked at you like you were his whole world. When he got his chance with you, he realized you weren't what he wanted.
He won't spare you a glance.
You think about how stupid you are to have ever thought that you could be good enough for him. You think about how stupid you are to have ever thought that it could work out.
Because nothing ever works out for you.
You fall in love, you get your hopes up, all just to be left in the dirt.
Now you're both at Riley's because it's her birthday and she loves the both of you and you're in the opposite side of the room as him.
You're looking into your cup of spiked punch as someone comes to approach you.
"Alright, you guys. I can sense the tension between you two from a mile away." Riley comes, cup in hand and Lucas in the other.
You step back a little as Riley lightly shoves him towards you.
You keep your eyes on Riley, you just won't look at him.
"Riles, what the hell are you doing?"
She walks forward and each step she takes, you take a step back.
You realize that she's backed you up into her room and without prelude, she slams the door shut in your faces and blocks it with something from the outside.
"Riley!" You pound the door with your fist when the knob doesn't work.
You do not want to be trapped in a room with him.
"I won't let you guys out until you talk." You hear her receding footsteps and groan against the palm of your hands.
You are going to kill her once you get out of here.
