Oh Bo (Bo Burnham)

Chapter 6

I woke up to my annoying alarm blaring. I glanced over to see it was 7:20. FUCK! My alarm went off late again. I immediately got up and ran a brush through my hair, and stepped into my clothes. I ran to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Just as I slipped my convers on I heard a ring at the door. I ran to the door and got a huge surprise. I debated on opening the door or not, but eventually decied to give him a chance.

"What do you want?" I asked agrivated.

"Just to talk" he responded.

"We had plently of time to do that before you told me that you were planning to break up with me without giving me a reason, after you made me explain my reasoning. So just get out of here Charlie" I tried slamming the door, but he managed to wedge his foot in.

"Megan, look, I'm sorry"

"Piss off"

"Give me a chance"

"What's going on here?" I heard a voice behind Charlie say. I swallowed hard.

"He was just leaving" I managed to say.

"Actually I wasn't. Megan we need to talk about this sooner or later" Charlie said.

"Megan, do you need to tell me something?" Bo interveined.

"Yeah, just that she--" Charlie begain.

"-Charlie leave" I growled.

"What is it?" Bo asked Charlie.

"Just that--" Charlie was cut off by me punching him in the face. His nose began to bleed as he stubbled backwards. He fell off my porch and landed head first in a thorn bush.

"Dude, are you okay?" Bo asked.

"Yeah, I think so" Charlie responded.

"Charlie, if you're not off my property in the next ten seconds, I'm calling the police. Dont make me say it again" I threated.

"Can you at least help me up?" he asked.

"8...7.." I counted.

"Okay, okay" he pulled himself up and whispered something to Bo before limping away, holding his nose, and pulling thorns out of his side. Bo just stared at me in shock and my eyes began to tear. I took a seat on my steps and covered my eyes with my sleves as water began to pour out of my eyes. I could feel Bo come and sit next to me, though I never looked up. He began to slowly rub my back in circluar motions.

"You should go see your mother." I managed to say between breaths.

"Tell me what happened" Bo said, completly ignoring what I said.

"It was just a break up" I said with no emotion. I felt like all my emotions were drained along with my tears.

"I can tell it was more than just a breakup" he obseved.

"it's just, when I broke up with him-" I started.

"You broke up with him?" he questioned.

"Yes, now stop assuming things." I snapped, "Now back to the story. When I broke up with him, it was hard enough. But on top of that, he wanted to know what he did wrong, I said the usual bullshit things 'It's not you, its me. You didn't do anything wrong, I just dont think we will last.' ya know?"

"Yeah" he nodded.

"So after he kept asking me questions and after the shock wore off he started saying things like 'whatever, I was gonna break up with you anyway. I'm just glad you did it so I didn't have to'. It was obvious that wasn't the case, though. And it broke my heart to break up with him, but on top of that, him saying things like 'whatever' was to much. I was crying my eyes out, trying to stay strong, but he blocked me and started saying worse things like "only jerks break up over text" and shit like that. It killed me and I never really wanted to talk to him anytime afterwards. But everyday he kept texting me asking me 'how are you doing with the break up? I'm doing great'. I just needed time, but he wouldn't let me have it. I couldn't take it, and my anxiety levels went through the roof. And of course, my best friend was in France, so I couldn't talk to her about it. She just got mad whenever I tried to bring it up and I just sat with that pain for a long time. I avoided his house and his block whenever I could. I would take twice as long to go where I needed, but my emotions were still raw. I just couldn't take it after a while and seeing him today, just pushed me over the edge." At that point I was crying dry tears.

"Megan, it's going to be okay" Bo said, calming me down. He gave me a tight hug and I put my head on his shoulder.

"You're going to be late to see your mom" i managed to choke out.

"She doesn't know I'm coming" Bo explained "It's a surprise".

"You should still go" I said.

"You should still come" he retorted. Did he really still want me to come after I just spilled my heart out to him?

" I'm sure your mom will want some one on one time with you" the words practically fell from my lips. He's just trying to be nice, why are you being such a bitch to him?

"I can tell that you're lashing out, now that I know more than you wanted me to know about you, but you're still coming." he picked me up and took me to to his car. He plopped me in the car and went to his side. We started the way to the hospital in silence. 1000 things running through my head at a time.

I finally spoke, "What did he say to you?"

"Charlie?" he asked. I flinched at the sound of his name.

"Yeah" I swallowed.

"Well" he paused. Probably despising whether to tell me or not. " He told me that your awful and picking up hints".

I thought back to all the times he tried to make a move, but I didn't really realize it. My eyes got puffy again. He saw this and immediately pulled over.

"Megan, it's all in the past now, think about how great the future could be if you just put the past behind" he said, staring deeply into my eyes. After a few seconds, I pressed my lips to his. He was caught off guard, but once he knew what was happening he was quick to ask for entrance. I allowed and he explored every inch of my mouth. Eventually I pulled away, breathing heavily as worked to return my breathing to normal. He got back on the road. We got to the hospital at about 8:45 and we walked straight to the front desk.

"Can we see a Patricia Burnham please?" Bo asked.

The nurse looked confused. "I'm sorry......."
