Mermaid Tail

Chapter 1 : Break Up

It's been three months when my parents died. Losing them who have been caring, loving and worrying about me from the very beginning was painful and hurting, I was getting worse and I thought I wasn't going to be okay for the longest time. When people asked If I was okay or not, I said I was okay but in actual reality, I'm not really okay. Losing someone doesn't just happen once, It happens over and over again. I haved already lost the family I loved and now, I'm gonna lose the person I have loved again.

"Emma, I think its time we break up and moved on now." Shawn said with a straight face.

"So you're breaking up with me just to be with her?" I said with a calming voice just to hide the fact that I was hurt by those words. I expected that he was gonna break up with me because I saw him screwing up with that mean bitch. I was too dumb to realize that I gave my heart to a lying jackass and he shattered it to a million piecies.

I looked at the people outside walking around with endless noise and happy people living at the best of their lives. It was awkward for me to look at him because I was disgusted to see his face right now. Then Shawn breaked the tension by saying unexcusable crap that he wasn't screwing up with someone else. I wasn't listening at all.

"Save your trash talk with somebody else because I ain't listening to a bunch of loaded crap with your mouth." I said confidently then I stand up.

"I was so stupid at loving a foolish guy like you but then again, thank you for loving me, always worrying and looking out for me when I didn't always look out for myself." I noticed that he wasn't always happy in our relationship because he was always too focused on my happiness and I didn't make him happy, I thought it was best breaking up with me so that he could be happy again. I looked at him one more time to remind him this lesson and to thanked him once again and said goodbye, then I left the cafe and head straight home without turning my head to look at him. One drop of tear fell from my eyes but I held back many more tears coming and I knew this was going to happen.

I dealt the situation professionally as I can, It hurts to say goodbye but I got used to it, I already said goodbye to my parents and now I've said goodbye to him so there's no turning back. I went home by taking the bus.

I was already outside of my apartment door and I rummage through my bag to get the keys to open the door. Once I get in I closed the door and I head to my room to change into comfortable clothes. Then I went to the fridge to get all the foods that I want to eat today. Then preparing every sad cliché movies I'm going to watch. This was more like my heartbroken schedule, being a relatable, lazy teenager in eating the kinds of food I want, watching the kinds of sad cliché movies I want and being lazy.

If you're going to ask what the hell have I been doing my entire life, well I've been into crazy places already so I've got time being me and no one is gonna stop me from what I'm doing.

When I was in the middle of watching my movie, I heard the apartment door opened knowing it was my bestfriend aka my roomie, Hailey Jones, who practically lives with me at this apartment loft.

We were only highschoolers, but we didn't want to live at the dorms because it sucks. We were okay on handling our tuition fees, apartment bills, and even cleaning the apartment. We even handled our studies just so we can get our scholarship and getting into a good college. I was 2nd in all my performance tasks, projects, homework, tests and exams, Hailey was followed in by 3rd.

Anyways back to my story, Hailey puts her purse down, she looked at me suspiciously and she realized what was already going on. Talk about best friend instincts and she's goals like always. She went straight to me and sat down beside me.

"What did that douchebag did to you now?" Hailey said and looked straight into my eyes by catching my attention.

I paused the movie and looked at her for a minute.

"Look Hailey, I love you and all but you gotta stop with that serious look in your face because it creeps me." I said with a funny look.

She raised her eyebrows at me and said "Okay, I'm calling that jerk and I'll punch his guts for hurting my little precious cinnamon roll."

"Hailey Wait! He broked up with me already!" I said before she turns her back.

She sighed, crossed her arms and she was worried about me, I never wanted all my family and friends to be worried about me, like Shawn he was always worried about me and the result of our relationship is discarded.

"You okay?" Hailey said.

"Yeah." I lied, because it was the only way to not make her worry about me anymore.

She paused for a moment and said :

"I don't wanna see my best friend being sad and heartbroken, I want you to be always happy Emma, considering that your birthday is coming near." Hailey said this to cheer me up.

She knew about me a lot because birthdays was the time that I could only be happy for a day and celebrating my day. Not to brag, I loved birthdays and mine is coming in track. So I was excited and happy to hear it.

But everything will not be the same and soon these changes will come to change my life forever.
