Strawberries & Cigarettes

Maxence De Shryver

"Good morning sleepy head"

I wake up with Ezra beside me.

"what are you doing here??" I ask.

"your mom called me.. She told me to drive you to school.. She also wants to meet me" She smile.

"Ezra.. You and I.. We're over.. You don't have the right to be here.. Not anymore" I sigh.

"Look.. I fucked up okay?  You have to understand" She sigh.

"Understand?? Since when did you understand me??" I ask.

"Give me another chance" She begs.

"you need to go.. You don't need to drive me.. I have a bike" I roll my eyes and get out of the bed.

"But your mom called me" She insists.

"My mom didn't call you Ezra! She doesn't have your number! Stop being a lying bitch!!" I start to raise my voice.

She stare at me in shock.

I grab a shirt from my locker and wear it.

"You can't live without me Maxence.. You need me" She starts to cry as she walks away.

I throw my pillow and scream out of anger.

She can't do this to me.

She can't play with my feelings like that.

I take my towel and I get inside the bathroom.

I take off all of clothes and turn the shower on.

I start to cry as the water pours all over me.

I just yelled at her.

This is my problem..  I Love her.

I Love her so much that I'd let her abuse me.

Should I even give her a chance?? 

Does she deserve a second chance??

I cry as I think about all the possibilities that's gonna happen to me now.

Now that she's gone.

Is she even right??  Do I even need her?? Am I not gonna live without her??

I know what I need now..

I need a distraction...

I arrive at school and walk directly towards my locker.

I open my locker and take my English book since it's my first class.

As I close the locker a girl walk towards me and smile.

"So are you still dating Ezra??  Because Ezra told me you still are" She smile.

"She told you??" I look at her confused.

"Well she told me you guys are on a break but not officially" She sigh.

I can't believe Ezra!!  She broke up with me and now she's telling people we're not over that we're just on a break.

"Well this is coming from me so listen..  Ezra and I are over..  And that's official we are over" I sigh.

"so you broke up with her??" She ask again.

"She broke up with me" I sigh.

"That bitch" She roll her eyes.

"Hey don't call her that" I smile at her.
"Anyways would you like to go to homecoming with me??" She ask.

I stare at her surprised
