Dream Girl

Alexa Baxter was never one of those girls that would ever let anyone see her cry. Whenever she was stress or angry, she always managed to keep her head high. She prided herself to have a good control over her feelings, at least she thought.

She thought herself happy and lucky. She had finally found a guy who not only liked her but made her feel worth it. They had only been dating for less than a month when he posted that he had lost the girl of his dreams.

She was crush. The perfect world she had imagined was crashing right before her eyes and for everyone to see. She knew what she needed to do right then and there. Her feelings were hurt but she wasn't just about to stand there.

She took one second of her time and slipped to the back, heart beating fast, eyes watering threating to end her non-crying time. "I hope you can find that girl you couldn't find in me. Have a nice life" she wrote.

She took one second to look at the screen and her words before she clicked the send button. Her hand dropped her side, finger grasping hard on her phone. What had she done wrong? He said he was falling her. He said he was happy. He said he missed her and couldn't wait to see her. He said he had never met a girl like her.

What had changed?

They had spoken the night before, like they had been doing ever since they started dating. Everything seemed fine; at least to her.

She could feel herself shaking. Her body begging her to release all of that hurt in her chest. "Please not now. Please wait until later. Wait until I get home" she asked herself in a soft whisper but her heart was broken.

Tears began to flow down her cheeks and she began to tremble. How could she have been so naïve? Why hadn't she notice it had been all a lie? She couldn't understand and to make it worst he didn't even bother to talk to her in person. He posted it for everyone to see.

She had looked through the comments, waiting for someone to defend her but everyone didn't seem to notice that the girl he was talking about wasn't her. She grew angry.

All she ever asked for was honesty. She told him that if he ever regrets it, to just tell her but he didn't. He had been a coward and now she was left hurt and embarrassed.

"Please stop!" she begged. She needed to pull herself together. No one could see her in this state but she couldn't stop. Her feelings could not be bottled up.

Suddenly she heard the back door open from her side. She told her body to move but it was if she was frozen in that spot. Shaking and crying.

"Hey, I never really pegged you for th- Alex?" a male voice stopped mid-sentence. She cursed her luck. Of all the people who could've walked by, it just had to be him.

She had known Michael since she was 7 years old. He and his family had moved all the way from Washington State to their little town. She didn't know how but Michael and her brother Alexander became best friend almost instantly.

She tried to ask her brother once why did he even bother being friends with the loud boy. Her brother was quiet and like to read meanwhile Michael was loud and liked to call the attention to him. Alexander just shrugged and walked away.

Alexa couldn't understand but decided not to push it. She had to admit, there had been an attraction towards the boy and at some point in her life, and she did admit to herself that she might have real feelings for him, other than the hatred she always tried to show him.
