He Will Regret Me

Making The desicion

Sandra smirks and crosses her arms. I swallow down what feels like a giant rock in my throat.

"So?"

I look at her and try to reply "well...um...uh..."I stutter.

She uncrossed her arms and sighs "Here." She's says and pulls out a pen and scribbles down a number "You can text me when you get your answer"

Sandra strutted herself out of the bathroom. I looked at myself In the mirror.

A girl stared back. She was dazed, her eyes looked tired so suddenly, glazed over almost.

And my stomach churned and flipped flop like I was ready to vomit.

When I walked out I stumbled a bit. I hate having the weight of a decision on my shoulders. I sat back down and faked a smile to Dereck.

I'm gonna have to think about my answer sooner or later. I took a bite of food and my appetite was gone. My stomach started churning violently.

I knew what was coming. I rushed to the bathroom and went to throw up in the toilet. I don't even excuse myself, just went.

I feel so sick all of the sudden. I bet Sarah did something to my food or something. I stumbled out of the bathroom and held my head in my hand for a second. Trying to get myself back together.

Dereck came up to me "You alright?"

I just groaned In reply.

"I'm taking you home." Dereck said and took my arm and looped it around his neck. He dragged us over to his parents said goodbye to them.

We went to his car even though I drove my own. I'll just have to get it tomorrow.

He kinda tossed me in and buckled my seat belt. I groaned and leaned my head back. My head was pounding so much that I felt my heartbeat in my temples.

I'm coming down with something. Bad.

Next thing I know is waking up to Dereck and being dragged out once again and on to the couch in he living room. Mom came in and took my tempature, I was feverish. Dereck sat by my side for a while as my mom nursed me.

He was silent, giving a half smirk every once in awhile. He was so nice. To sit here with me, sicker than a dog. I think I managed to form a smile back. Deredk's face drifted I out of my consciousness. I was dozing off.

But before I fell sleep I said something.

"I love you, Dereck."

He smiled at me, happy. "-too..." He said before I completely fell asleep.

-----------

I woke up to my head pounding. "Ughhhhh" I groaned. Mom came in and ushered me down "lay down...your probably still feverish..."

I slowly blinked at her "where's Dereck?"

She smiled "he went home about an hour after you fell asleep..."

He waited an hour? Wow.

"You know...he's a really nice kid...."

"Yeah...he is...."I said with a smile. Mom smiled "Me and your father was that way. If I was sick he took care of me."

I blushed at how my mother was talking about her love life "Mom..." I groaned.

She laughed and then the phone ringed. Mom went to answer it and after a couple seconds she brought it to me "it's Dereck!" She whispered. And sauntered off to the kitchen in her way of giving me privacy.

"Hello?"

"Uh...um...hey."he said unsurely.

"what's wrong?" I ask.

"Kayla..." He said and paused. "What?"

"We-um...we need to see other p-people..."

My heart skipped a beat "what?" I said hiding the hurt in my voice unsuccessfully.

"Kayla...it's...it's not you....it's me."he said in that cliche way." Really? Your dumping me over the phone?" I say angrily.

Silence.

"I should've known better than to date someone who seemed nice! I just thought it would be different!"I say sitting up and yelling.

"Kayla-"

"No! Don't get all 'I'm sorry' on me!"

"Kayla."

"God! I should've known...to trust the nice guy, because it all was a joke..."

"Kayla! It's my mom!" Dereck yelled in frustration. I kept my mouth shut.

"She doesn't like you...and I don't want to date a girl my mom doesn't get along with..."he said with a break in his normal voice. "I love you Kayla. But if you can't get along with my family I can't be with you...my family is a big part of my life...."

My face was warm. My cheeks were wet. I'm crying?

"Kayla....I truly think I do love you from the bottom of my heart...but I can't handle my girlfriend and my mom constantly arguing..."

I sniffle,listening.

"Kayla, this is goodbye...I just want to let you know, I love you. And I will always."

"Dereck..." I said in a barely audible voice.

"Bye."

"Dereck."I say with a crack in my voice. Then there was a click.

I let out an awful sob. And mom comes rushing in.

"What's wrong?"she asked, caring. "Dereck dumped me..."I say.

Her arms gingerly wrap me. I shake with the crying. I bury my face into her shoulder inhaling her scent.

Cinnamon with a mix of lavender.

"Why? Why me?"

"Shh,it's alright." Mom coos me.

We sit there wrapped in each other. I let out all my emotions onto her.

I hate my life. So much.
