Love and Damage

Poems Due

      "Hey Eleanor.., this is Taylor Wood. I'm sorry but it is over."

      I kept on reading that text that he sent me. I don't know why I started to cry... I mean we barley know each other. We haven't even been going out for two days and we are already broken up. I called him but it went straight to voicemail. I called him once more and again, it went straight to voicemail. I don't know why I am so worked up on this...I am not going to let a stupid play-boy ruin me. 

      I went upstairs to my room so I can continue working on the poems. I started the gramophone so that it can help me concentrate. 

      It was 8 pm now and my grandma still hasn't came back. I texted her saying where she was at. She replied shortly after that text was sent. She said that she will be back in a couple minutes and she will bring food with her. I was happy about the food yet disappointed why my grandma won't tell me where she was at.  

      I went on my bed then I placed my hand in my face listening to the soothing music playing in my ear. I can't believe what happened in the pass week. First it was the crazy dream I had about Cole, then when he saved me, then Taylor asking me out, Kissed me, then broke up with me. Oh  and while all of that was happening, I have to work on the stupid project with stupid Cole. I'm doing it and he is just getting credit for my work. I rolled my eyes then I got up from my bed. I placed all of papers back in my binder and placed it in my book bag. I was headed downstairs until I heard my grandma come in. 

      "Hey grandma!" I said while I was taking the bags fulled with food in her hand. 

      "Hello honey, i'm sorry I was late." She said sounding extremely tired. 

      "Are you okay?" 

      "I'm fine." She replied obviously lying. 

      I took her to her bed and placed the blanket on top of her. 

      "Thank you-" She said smiling at me. 

      "Do you want any food to eat?"  

      "No thank you sweetie, I ate on the ride here." She said. 

      "Okay well, sleep tight." I said and closed the door behind me. 

      I went to the grocery bags and placed the food in the kitchen. I got the food and started to eat which was Burgers from 5 guys, my favorite burger place. I ate the burger extremely fast then I went to go and brush my teeth. I was done and then I got comfy in my bed. The whole house was silent.  Tears were started to fall on my face just thinking about what happened. And on that note, I fell asleep.

Monday:

      Sunday passed extremely quickly and before I knew it, it was Monday. I got up did my daily morning routine and went to school. Me and Olivia were chatting until school started. I told her what happened about Taylor and she got really mad. But she made me laugh by saying some cheesy jokes. English stared and I went in the classroom waiting for Cole to come so that we can use this time to continue working on the project. The bell rang and I only saw Kelly there but no sign of Cole. 

Friday:

      4 Days passed and no sign of Taylor, Aiden, and Cole. Olivia sounded very concerned and she started to worry. I was concerned as well but I didn't care. Taylor was completely out of my mind. I didn't know what I was thinking. It was just so stupid of me. 

      It was a Friday and the poems where due. I finished the poems on Wednesday all by myself. I was describing how I was feeling in the past week. I was in English class now and Cole still hasn't showed up, so I decided to note the teacher I was going to present by myself. I was on my way to tell the teacher until the bell rang. 

      "Good morning students! Please have a seat with your partners for there, we will present." 

      I went to sit in my seat and that's when I heard Cole's voice. He opened the door and came out smiling and laughing about something. Kelly got out of her seat and went straight to Cole and gave him a giant hug and kiss. That was the most cringe worthy thing I have ever seen. 

      "Welcome back Cole." Mrs. Hunt said giving him a faint smile. 

      "Well it's good to be back." He said that then he turned his head facing me. 

      "So Eleanor, are we going to present our poems or what?" He asked giving me an evil smirk.

      I was shocked and confused... He just came back and he is calling it our project? I knelled back on my chair and gave him an evil smirk. 

      "No, it's not our project, it's mine." I corrected him giving a sassy tone. 

      "Though you are welcome to present with me." I added

      Cole seemed very angry with me and I didn't care. Even though it was extremely childish of me to act like this, I knew I was right.

      "You've got yourself a deal. On one condition."

      "Which is?"

      "I get half of that credit." 

      "Sure." And on that note, I rolled my eyes and got my papers ready to present. I knew if I argue with him, things will end up badly. This is going to be one hell of a day.
