One of You? Book 3. *a winx club fanfic* [#Wattys2016 ]

Chapter 4

I cried into Daphne's shoulder on the beach, my tears leaving streaks in the sand. Sky had made a campfire and we all were sitting around it.

"What did he say?" Aisha asked.

"He said that maybe we weren't right." I cried.

"Why?" Bloom asked.

"Because he was being a jealous jerk and had a problem with Conner." I shouted and Daphne hugged me tighter, as if I would break with out the support.

I probably would.

"It doesn't make sense." Sky mumbled. "If Mathew was jealous, he would be protective of you, not break up with you."

"Well, apparently it made sense to him because after all we've been through, he broke up with me!" The sobbing echoed into the night.

I reached for my necklace. Once again I ripped it off, and threw it into the ocean. My heart was torn to pieces leaving an emotionless girl behind. Just like I was left behind by Mathew. And to think, I thought that love would triumph over all bad times and evil. But I was wrong. Love was just a metaphor: You want the thing that kills you and breaks you in the end.

"Lilly..." Tecna said pointing to the certain locket that just happened to wash up on shore.

I stood and picked it up. I just held it in my hand for a few seconds. I was angry.

My hand burst into flames and I threw the locket at an incredible speed, miles from the shore. That won't wash up anytime soon...or ever.

I sat back down and they all looked at me with shocked expressions. I wasn't the sweet girl who cared about everyone's feelings and stuff right now. I just wanted to be with Mathew. But that won't be happening apparently.

I heard some shouting and people walking towards us. I swear, if this is the trix-

"Lilly!" Conner called.

"Dang it." I said and stood up, walking over to him. "Hi Conner."

"What's wrong?" He asked. "I was wondering if you wanted to go get Fro-yo tomorrow."

"Mathew and I just broke up...." I tol him and wiped away a tear.

"Oh my gosh. Are you okay? Do you want me to take you home?" He asked.

"Sure." I said and waved a goodbye to the crowd around the campfire, watching us.

We walked over to the street where a cab was waiting. I got in first and then came Conner. The driver drove and we talked.

"You can forget about the Fro-yo." He said.

"No it'll be fun." I said.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah." I told him. "It'll take my mind off things. And I get to catch up with my best friend."

"Sorry if I'm sounding insensitive." He said. "I really do care about you, Lilly."

"You don't sound insensitive at all Conner. You're trying to help me." I told him.

"If it's hard to answer, don't, but I have to ask, why did you guys break up?" He questioned.

"A bunch of different reasons." I lied. "I needed a bit of space but he didn't want to give that to me. He was jealous of stuff, and really protective over me. And then he figured that things weren't good between us and we broke up."

He nodded and it was silent. The driver tried to make conversation but I just didn't answer.I know that was probably rude but I honestly didn't care.

I wanted Mathew back. My head was spinning when the cab stopped in front of my house. I stood on the stoop with Conner.

"I'll pick you up around 10?" He asked.

"That would be great," I said, holding back my tears.

I waved goodnight and went inside. I let the tears fall quietly as I went up to my room. I fell onto my bed and cried, before falling into a deep sleep.

I cried as he laughed.

"I never loved you!" He yelled. "NEVER!"

"That's not true." I cried. "I know you loved me! You told me!"

"I was lying!" He laughed.

"What about when I was gone?" I asked. "You never lost hope and tried to save me!"

"I'm a great actor." He chuckled.

I screamed as he insulted me and broke my heart with each word. I screamed louder the second time.

I sat up in my bed. Tears were flowing down my face and I had been screaming in my sleep. I curled into a ball and cried to myself. All of a sudden, Bloom and Stella came running into my room. Bloom sat on the edge of my bed and tried to comfort me whiled Stella hugged me. The rest o the girls came in as well, in their night robes, and took turns helping me. Then my parents came in, scared.

"I'm fine." I told them, hiding my tears, and managing a fake laugh. "Just a bad dream."

They nodded and left, reluctantly.

"What was it about?" Tecna asked.

"Tecna!" They whispered/shouted. "She obviously doesn't want to talk about it."

"No no." I said and sat up. "It was about Mathew."

They all nodded.

"He was saying that he never loved me or cared about me. Then he called me names and insulted me." I wiped at the tears that were once again flowing.

"I can't do this." I whispered. "I miss him so much."
