Under the Willow Tree

Chapter 6

Adam's POV
-__________
'Did I really just say that?' I thought. 'A sunfish? I called her a freaking sunfish?' "Char, wait! I yelled at my phone, watching her start to cry and slam the phone on the table. The sad thing was, I was exactly what I had called her. She did nothing wrong. So she has a few guy friends, right? 'Does that give you the right to call her a sunfish?' My mind was swirling. The one thing I could completely comprehend was a sign on a road: "welcome to breakupville, population: Adam."

Charlotte's POV
______________
I fell asleep crying into my pillow last night. When I woke up, I decided not to go swimming today. I was exhausted from waking up and falling asleep again all night. Not to mention, had I seen Adam shirtless again, it would make it hard not to "kiss and make up." I spent the whole first period sulking in the horrifying pool balcony that was way too high up for me. I didn't even talk to Hali or Eva. I was just... drained. Tired of talking, of yelling. Of hurtful words spoken in useless rage. Of sunfishes and two timers and butts and all the horrible things he said, he made me feel. I remember when he made me feel like I was living on cloud. Now just thinking of what he said yesterday made me want to yell and scream until my lungs gave out and my tears dried me out and my fingers bled from clawing at the walls of my mind.
