Never Stop Dreaming // Tal Fishman

Chapter 12- Broke this Girl

  I turn to see... 

Tal...

I could feel tears in my eyes... You know that feeling you messed up. I feel that right about now. But in a way where I blame myself when I am not supposed to.

Cam messed up but its not fair. I feel all the pain, I feel all the guilt I feel EVERYTHING.

It is like a tightness in your chest. 

I grabbed my chest.

The literal pain I felt.

Tal-" Hey everything ok?"

guilt, pain piled on a shelf over your head.

I look at the floor and I feel everything that was piled up fall on me.

I collapse on my knees. I feel the tears like a dam come out of my eyes.

Tal comes down on his knees and catches me from going on my ground. He grabbed me tightly.

Tal-" Hey.. Hey its ok. I am here."

Even with that physical support holding me up the feeling was relentless.

My arms were around Tal's neck. His on my waist. He put his one hand on my head. My head was on his shoulder.

I feel broken. A piece of me is gone. 

The weight of this is like 1000 pounds. My chest is still tight. 

Tal-" shhh... shhh... Bailey. I know how you are feeling. Breathe slowly. I promise you the weight will go away."

I breathe slowly. And try to calm down. Tal was right the weight went away.

I come out of the hug and Tal smiled at me. I hug him again. Neither of us expected that. 

Me-" Thank you."

I could feel after I say that Tal hug me under his chin and hold me closely to him.

We both come out of the embrace and Tal sits next to me on the duvet in the office.

Tal-" Tell me what happened"

Me-" It sucks... When you make a promise then break it. Friends don't do that."

Tal listens to me intently. 

Me-" You just don't tell someone and lead them on to actually believe you mean anything to them."

Tal looks down.

Tal-" No girl is deserved  to be treated like that. Especially if that girl is you."

I look up confused.

Me-" How could you know I felt a weight?"

Tal-" I know what the symptoms of heart break are."

I look down.

Tal-" Cam make a real dick move. Man that was a messy break up"

Me-" breakup?"

Tal-" Wait what?"

Me-" We never were together. He is... just someone important to me... Was important to me..."

Tal-" Don't say that Bailey, He is still important to you. Its not just a switch you can turn off when you have feelings for someone...."

Tal looks down.

Wait a second...

WHAT JUST HAPPENED.

Tal Fishman comforted me!?!?!?

This is not how its supposed to be. Tal is an annoying, arrogant, peice of....
