Once a Love Story

Chapter 4 - Break up

Alex P.O.V

In the lunchbreak, some girl came running to my (not that that's new). She said she had something to show me ASAP! So I followed her (because she was kinda hot) and the gang followed my lead. She led me to the hall, where I saw a crowd and in the middle of the crowd stood Tessie. She looked at something and I looked at the picture hanging on the bulletin board. It was Tessie sitting with some guy... Who the FUCK is this!? I felt my anger grow. "What's this?" I said angry. Tessie turned around and I could see the panic in her eyes. She was guilty... oh man, I really wanna punch her! But not in front of everyone. Tessie began crying and walked towards me. "I-it's not like what you think, Alex!" she said. "The one I love is Alex! IT'S YOU!" she shout desperate. This piss me of so FUCKING much! She just FUCKING made a fool of me in front of FUCKING everyone! THIS BITCH!

I walked towards Alex, but he backed away from me. He was angry. I don't care if I look like a fool, but I care about what to do, to make up with Alex! "Alex, believe me!" I cried, but Alex let out a mockingly laugh. "Believe you!? How could I do that after this!?" he said it angrily. "I know it's hard to believe, but he's just a stranger I meet yesterday..." "A STRANGER!?" he shouted. "If you act like this with strangers, how would you act with friends!?" he said it sadly this time. He is also sad...

Alex P.O.V

I can't believe this BITCH! She keeps making a fool out of me! I HATE HER! But in others eyes I am the victim here, so I can still save my image. Just look like the victim and they will be on your side. If I make it look like I'm sad, they will definitely be on my side!

Tessie P.O.V

I feel terribly! I don't know what to do. Why did this happen? Who took that picture? Why did that person do this? WHY!? My head begin to hurt, but I don't care! All I care about is Alex. Alex turned around and began walking away from me. I panicked and grabbed his right arm, but he shook me off. "Don't touch me! I... I can't stand to look at you right know!" he said and walked away. His words felt like swords piercing my heart. It hurts, it hurts so much! I fell on my knees and looked at the floor. I felt people glare at me. This is the worst. I felt a hand on my left shoulder. It was Ann. She helped me up and hugged me gently. "I am SO sorry for you! Who could do this to you?" I couldn't answer, I was totally cold. I rested my chin on Ann's shoulder, because I was higher than her. She just hugged me tighter. After the most of the people left, she pulled me out. "Let's get something to eat! Eating always help when you feel down!" she says with a weak smile. I nodded. I know she is trying to cheer me up, but it didn't really help. I just want to hide.

We sat outside and ate. I can't get myself to go into the cafeteria. Alex is there. As we sat there, there was a heavy silent, until Ann broke it. "Wasn't it Harry on the picture?" I nodded and Ann's jaw almost touched the ground. "R-REALLY?? Did you talk to him?! What happened!?" she was eager to hear about it all, but I wasn't in the mood to tell her right now. "I... I tell you about it another time, okay?" I said and she nodded happy. Then, my phone vibrated and I took it from my pocket. A text... from Alex...

Alex wanted to talk with me after school. Did he want to make up or break up? Would he forgive me? The last lessons I couldn't concentrate at all. All I thought about was Alex. I couldn't wait to talk to him!

Finally the time came. I waited behind the school where we promised to meet. I was trembling, so nervous was I! I heard someone nearing me, hoped that it would be Alex. As I hoped, it was Alex. He had his hands in his pocket and looked at the ground. He wouldn't look at me. "Alex, hear me out!" Alex took a glance at me and then snorted. "Why should i? The picture told me all there is to know" I wouldn't give up that easy, I couldn't! "He went and talked to me! We became friends, nothing more!" I said. Alex looked at me, while doubting me. "Ha! A guy went and talked to YOU?" I looked at him confused, but firmly. "That is not possible! Why would a guy want someone like you!?" he said mockingly. 'Someone like you' he said. "What do you mean by that?" he smirked. "You are not hot nor pretty, you are annoying as hell and really stupid! Why should a guy talk to you, you ugly duckling?" his word pierced through me. "B-but you said I was cute?" he grunted. "I lied, STUPID!" I fell on the ground. What? I can't believe what I just heard. Alex is not this kind of guy. He is sweet, gentle and he LOVES me! Who is this? I felt the tears forming in my eyes. Alex just stood there, stared at me like I was some shit! This is not Alex... IT'S NOT!

Alex left me. He walked away from me after a minute, not more. He hate me. He broke up with me. I am nothing without him. I am shit. I am ugly, stupid, and annoying, just as he said! I am unwanted. I should just... disappear. I stood up and took a step forward, but fell again. I couldn't, I was too weak. My whole body was shaking, more than I ever experienced before! I was still crying and when I though it couldn't get worse, it started raining. The raindrops were cold and every one of them hurt. I was broke. I found my mobile in my pocket and checked it. Ann had texted me, same had mom. I didn't feel like replying. I wanted to dig a hole and hide in that black hole the rest of my life. I tried to stand up for the second time, this time I got up. I began walking towards the school, but it was already locked. I had been sitting there in half an hour. I was wet and sad. I took my mobile and texted Alex. 'Is it over between us?' I waited a little and then he replied. 'Yes I don't want to have anything to do with you!' I looked at the text in 5 minutes before heading home.

When I got home, my mom was furious yet again, but when she saw me, she didn't say anything. She got worried. "H-honey, what happen? Why are you so late?" she asked as she led me to the living room. We sat down in the couch. "Alex... he... he broke up with me" she looked at me, not knowing what to say. I know she is relieved over it's over between Alex and me; she didn't like him after all. I stood up and walked towards the stairs. "Tessie!" My mom followed me to the stairs. "I... want to be alone right now" I said quietly and walked up the stairs. A long and painful night awaited me.
