The Story Of Us

Chapter 20: Karma Bites

As days go by, the more and more I feel broken. I thought I loved him. I thought he loved me. But I played with. It was a game to him. Nothing more than a game. And just like the day we first started dating, I'm sitting in my room, with tears streaming down my cheeks. I grab my phone and check the texts. I haven't checked it since the night of prom. Five texts from him, three texts from Stacy, one from Melinda, one from Charlie, one from almost everyone in my contacts list really.

God, I just need to block his number. I don't even bother checking his texts because, why did I even bother spending one month of my senior year on him. All he wanted was a little game and not a loving relationship. He took every bit of me and shred it to pieces. Whether it ment hurting me, or him being one of the most hated people at school, he just treated me like a game.

"Macy, sweetie, you need to get ready to go to your dad's house." my mom says walking into my room.

I don't reply. I just want to hide. Shrivel away. Or even just no longer exist. But, then I realized, everything just hasn't been going my way since my parents' divorce. Relationships don't work out well, I loose family members, I was nearly raped by my mom's ex fiance. Maybe, if I get my parents back together, maybe, everything will be better. Before the divorce, I had more friends, there was less family members died, relationships worked out better.

After my mom stroked my  back a little bit, I then sit up and speak an actual sentence. "Mom, can you get custody of Stacy back?" I ask. That'll be step one of getting my parents back together.

"I- I'm not actually sure. It would be difficult and time consuming but, I think we can see about getting her back." my mom explains. I nod. "Now, get ready to go to your dad's before he has my ass."

I then put on a sweater and jeans with a pair of uggs. I put my hair up in a messy bun before grabbing my phone and keys. I then walk into Katie's room. She's wearing a Cleveland Indians sweater with a pair of black pants and converse.

"Nathan's?" I ask her.

"Yeah, does it make you feel uncomfortable?"

"No, just, just curious." I say. Before we leave her room.

We both then hug our mom good bye before heading out the door. "Are you okay?" Katie asks me.

"Eh, it- it hurts, knowing I that our relationship was a lie, but I guess I knew it was coming, you know. I just didn't exactly expect my worst fear to come true." I explain as we start to approach Josiah's house. I speed pass it just so I don't break down. At this point I'd rather not be around him at all.

Its one in the afternoon and I'm surprised I haven't gotten a text from Stacy. "You have text from Stacy." Katie explains to me. I spoke too soon.

"What did she say?" I ask.

"She wants to know if you're going to the races with her tonight."

I totally forgot I was going to the races and watch her race tonight. "Yeah, text dad and let him know we're going to the races right now." I explain turning onto the freeway.

I then turn in the radio. The song playing brings back too many memories. "Oh you can fit me inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen next to your heartbeat where I should be keep it deep within your soul,

And if you hurt me well that's okay baby only words bleed inside these pages you just hold me and I won't ever let you go," ever since the incident at prom, I've hated every single love song I've heard. Whether it be brand new, or years old. I've just wanted to throw out my head phones.

When we arrive to the races, I look for Stacy's car. I then find it. I pay for both Katie and myself to get in. Stacy then runs up to me with a panicked expression on her face.
