Two Hearts Collided (H.S) (SLOW UPDATES)

Lizzie

Class felt like such a drag today. After everything that went off with Elliot this morning, I felt super fed up with everything going on. Fortunately, my best friend Mia, whom I met when I first started college, was in the same class as me, and was able to make the day more bearable.

After sitting in my seat at the start of class, she asked me what was wrong straight away. She was always able to tell when I was in a weird mood. And more importantly, when I needed someone to talk to about it. As we had become best friends a year before Elliot and I began our relationship, she knew what Elliot was like at the beginning, kind, sweet and always there for me, to how he had changed over the years of being with me, commenting on how he dislikes my appearance, and picking at every little thing I do.

Mia understood, she dressed so much like me. She hated wearing skirts, and shorts, choosing to wear jeans and t-shirts. she was your everyday tomboy, she always wore her long curly fair hair up in a high ponytail, keeping her hair out of her eyes, and her face was always bare of makeup.

I never actually noticed the first change in Elliot's behaviour, until Mia asked me why he was telling me to end my friendship with her. After asking how she knew he'd said that to me, she'd then went on to explain that she'd overheard him as she was coming over to meet me. After that I kept a closer eye on his actions, and even though I saw the changes in his actions over time, I was still in denial of how he had changed. I didn't want to admit that our relationship was crumbling up in my face. I was too used to the relationship we was in to put an end to it and start all over again.

"Hey Liz"

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Mia's hand waving in front of my face. I look over to her and notice a concerned expression on her face.

"Sorry Mia, what did you say?" I asked, as I made sure I payed more attention to her this time.

"I said what time is Elliot picking you up?" she asked her question again, looking at me questionably.

"He's not" I said with no emotion on my face.

"What do you mean he's not? He always picks you up"

I looked over at her, and from the look on my face she already knew the reason why Elliot wasn't coming.

Without her having to ask me, I answered her silent question. "He was starting with his comments again this morning, I called him out on it, and he didn't like the fact that I stood up for myself, so he said I had to find my own way home"

Mia looked pissed, after taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she answered back. "When are you going to end it with him Lizzie? its obvious you deserve better by now. he's turned from sweet and loving at the beginning, to a bitter fucker. Just because he doesn't like how you've changed"

"He's not alw-" I start to say but I'm cut off. "oh no. don't you dare stand up for his behaviour Liz. he doesn't deserve that"

Deep down, I knew she was right, but I didn't want to admit it. I really had hope in my heart that he would go back to how he was at the beginning of our relationship, but something in the back of my head was telling me that, that was never ever going to happen.

"have you got a way to get home?" Mia asked as we carried on walking away from campus.

"I guess I'll walk"

"Girl you know I'd drive you if I had my car, but its still in the garage having my tail light fixed"

"Don't worry Mia, its fine. Its not far of a walk" I said while smiling.
