Nobody's Fault But Mine

~The next day~

Jimmy waited in the truck at the school, waiting to pick  up Emily after a long day at hell, and she doesn't know he's picking her up, it'll be a surprise. The bell finally rang, and a herd of kids full of acne, girls with heels and short skirts on showing too much, and jocks wearing their jerseys stormed out of the doors. 

Then Jimmy spotted Emily and just sat there with a big goofy grin on his face. She wasn't like the other kids. She had her  beanie on, her red hair covering half of her face. She wore a black Led Zeppelin shirt with all of the members on it, tight blue skinny jeans, and her favourite shoes- her Led Zeppelin canvas sneakers. 

She stared down at the ground as she walked, wrapping her hands around the straps of her backpack. Jimmy then put his hand on the steering wheel and pressed down three times, making the horn sound, making people look over at him. 

Emily slowly lifted her head, and Jimmy saw her face was full of sadness, but when she saw Jimmy, it morphed into happiness. She quickly ran over to the truck. She ripped open the passenger side door, and threw her backpack in the backseat with a big thud. She then wrapped her arms around Jimmy's neck in a bear hug.

"Mhhhmmm.. Jimmursss.." she cooed in his ears. Jimmy smiled and wrapped his arms around the back of her back, pulling her into a hug. 

"Can we please go home.. I want to get away from him.." Emily said quietly, with a hint of anger in her voice as she sat down in her seat and pulled the seat belt over her lap. 

"Who?"

"My fucking ex. He's stalking me now and harassing me in class now. I fucking shake, and start to cry and he does everything on fucking purpose!" 

"And his 'new' girlfriend is just.. UGH! She MADE him cheat on me for her! I just want to take her giraffe neck and snap it across my leg!! I HATE THEM!" Emily yelled at the end, and stared out the truck window, her hands rubbing up and down her legs to try and calm herself down. 

She felt her face turn hot, and the lump in her throat got bigger, and tears began to burn in her eyes. She sniffed in a sob, but it didn't do much good. She broke down, and buried her face in her hands, crying herself a river. 

"I just don't know why." she sobbed. 

By the time she opened her eyes, Jimmy already drove them home. He unbuckled his belt, and leaned in and held her close as she sobbed into his shoulder, soaking his shirt. 

"Oh love, I know it hurts. Remember though, today was your last day of being in the building, you start online next week!" he said while using his pointer finger and thumb to wipe her tears away. She shrugged her shoulders and cast her eyes downward. 

"Days like these, I'd go to Bob.." she said very quietly, her voice shaking again from tears again. 

A mind confused and a heart shattered.
