The Bad Boy, My Soulmate??

(9) Me And My Broken Heart

I cried and cried and ran to my bike and drove away

I don't know where I was driving, I just wanted away

After 30 minutes I was at the lake, that Mason showed me and let myself sank onto the grass

I just cried and I don't know for how long, until I felt a hand on my shoulder

I jumped and looked up. It was a boy my age, that I have never seen before

"Why are you crying??" He asked

I didn't respond

I didn't wanted to tell the story again or think about it or talk at all

The boy sat down next to me and put his arm around me. I leaned over and cried into his chest

"By the way, I'm Oliver" He said

After a while I sat up and whipped my tears off

"I'm Shay" I said

"Do you wanna talk about it Shay??" He asked

"There was a school project, writing a song for my Music class and I was partnered up with my biggest enemy and bully. Then we started working and got closer and I don't know what we were, we weren't friends but we weren't a couple or in love. Today, after our performance and after we got an A+ and we left the class room after the lesson, I was excited and I couldn't bring myself down and then he told me that he was pretending this entire time and that it was all show and that he was using me and the worst part is that I fell for him. I'm in love with him and he ripped my heart out, just like that. No feeling saying it, it was like you tell your parents about a boring school day or even worse. He was cold, ice cold. I have never been more hurt in my life. Well, that's what I get for falling for the bad boy" 

"Wow... That's a lot... I went throught almost the same thing"

"Really?" 

"Yes, I fell for the schools bad girl and she for me. I  changed her and I didn't care how many times she tried to push me away, I just didn't let her. I came back and fight for her"

"How did it end? I mean, what happened??"

"We are both 18 and married with a little baby. Our story began when we were 16 and with 17 she became pregnant with my baby and after I sticked around, she learned that I really love her and that I only want her"

"Wow... But my story is different... He knows so much stuff about me, that if he tells it could ruin me, forever"

"Not that different. She told some stuff, that I trusted her with to push me away, after she found out that she's pregnant, I was mad, but not that mad to let her fall, I tried like a million times to tell her, that I'm not her enemy, that I'm her friend and her boyfriend, if she wants me to be"

"I don't know, I have no one and he was the only one I had and then I found out or better he told me that it wasn't real. I have no one!! My family is broken, my sister can't keep a secret and my best friend would lecture me, with 'I told you so' and other stuff... I don't know what to do.."

"Would it help to talk to my wife? Maybe she can really help you??" He offered

"It's worth a try" I said and Oliver helped me up and got my bike and pushed it for me

15 minutes later we arrived at a little house and Oliver put my bike in the garage and unlocked the front door and walked in and waved me to tell me that I should follow him

I followed him inside

Baby toy's everywhere

He lead me to the living room

"Hey honey" He said and kissed the girl on the couch briefly "I found someone outside and she needs someone to talk to, that can help her and I thought you might be the right one for the job. I already tried, but I don't know what to do"

"I can give it a try" She said and handed the baby to Oliver and then she came over to me "Hey, I'm Joy"

"Shay" 

"I'll leave you alone and bring little Laika to bed" He said and then he left with the baby in his arms

"Feel free to sit down" Joy said and sat down

I followed her to the couch and sat down next to her

"Okay, what happened??" She asked

I told her the whole story 

"I totally understand you, but listen. Bad Girls or Bad Boys aren't that bad when you get to know them, they are pushing away because of something, that happened in their past or present. Maybe he never had the feeling how it is to be loved or to love or to let someone in. Sometimes people like that push away, because they are afraid to let people in"

"What are you suggesting??"

"Well, you can give him the cold shoulder to see, if he is hurt and misses you or you can talk to him and make him know that you will never let him fall"

"The second one, is what Oliver did, right??" I asked

"Yes, he told you??"

"Yea... He already tried to cheer me up, but it didn't really work" I said and laid back

Then she laid back too

"You will figure it out"

"How can you be so sure??"

"I just am. I mean, you are brave and tough. Otherwise you would've never talked to a stranger and went home with him"

"I trusted him and he seemed so convincing"

"He's good at that. That's how he finally got me"

"But what if this is different than your story??" 

"That's the thing, you never know until you try" She said

That sentence made me start thinking
