"Omg, I can't believe it's you." the surprised girl squealed. I knew I was hearing and seeing her but to be certain I wasn't dreaming I pinched my arm. When nothing happened, I took small steps towards her. What was she doing here? Last time I'd seen her was over a year ago...
"I haven't seen you in years." It was as if she had read my mind. I tried to speak but couldn't find any word. I stood facing her speechless. Her face was so beautiful, flawless some would say yet all the flaws I had centered around her. Memories of us being either drunk or high flashed through my scattered mind. Memories I've tried so hard to suppress. It was always us, together, but she left. Something I never thought she would or could ever do. I observed her eyes and saw the tears already forming, we were thinking the same thing, we always do.
"You left me." I managed to say, the horrific memories eating me inside.
"No it's not like that..." she said taking a step closer. The lunch tables were now filled with people. I noticed Alexandra and Kacy sitting just beside the table I was at. They tried to act like they weren't listening to Mal and I but I knew better than to believe that. I watched as Jace, two tables away, kept his gaze on Mal as if she was a threat. It was kinda cute to see how defensive he was but right now I couldn't appreciate it with my past standing too close for comfort in front of me.
"I called for you, but you never answered nor came. I screamed your name but you....you just left." I felt my voice crackle but I bit down at my lip to prevent myself from crying in front of everyone.
"They said you would've never gotten up."
"So you fucking left me! How could you have given up so easily. You never once came and spoke to me, I listened but never heard you." I couldn't keep my voice down, I didn't care about her tears nor the stares I was receiving from practically everyone. I've always wanted to see her again, tell her how I'd missed her and needed her but in this moment the pain I was feeling tossed out my planned conversation with her. It was all too real and raw. She left me.
"I loved you and it hurt more than anything to see you like that, to know it was my fault."
"You left when I needed you the most, how could you Mal?"
"I'm sorry!" she literally whined, tossing her hands in the air. I knew she was sorry but I couldn't cope, too much emotions were running through me. Without another word to the wet face girl I turned and walked away. She didn't call after me and I was grateful she didn't.
In order to avoid Kacy and Alexandra I entered the one place I knew they wouldn't look, the male's restroom. My tears fell down my cheeks as I sat on the closed toilet collecting myself. Why did she choose to come back...? Didn't she think she would face me..? Maybe she thought I still wasn't awake.
Questions I couldn't answer filled my head one after the other. I needed to get out of here the small space wasn't helping. Without whipping my tears I unlocked the door and made my way out the stall.
"You know this is the male's restroom, right?"
"No way, thanks Captain Obvious." I rolled my already bloodshot eyes, turning to face Michael. He had a small smile on his lips before noticing my tear stained cheeks.
"What happened?" He asked, walking over to me with sincerity in his eyes.
"I don't want to talk about it." I answered before walking away from him and letting myself out the boy scented room. I didn't have the strength to make it to my class so I made my way down the hall and out the exit.
"Where are you going?" I heard Michael asking me from behind. It sounded like he was following me. "Anywhere that's not here." I said, hastening my steps.
