The Life I Used to Live

Chapter One

*Finding my Way*                               ~Lola's Point of View~

I woke up early today; it's really rare for me. Last night was hell, Nick got drunk again. Unlike other times, this time he went too far. I walk to my closet trying to shake off the words Nick said to me, but I can't they hurt. I grab a pink holster top, black skinny jeans, and cute pink wedges. I lay my clothes on my bed and check my phone for a minute, 156 text messages from Nick. I say to myself, "That bastard." I went to take a shower, do my hair, and make-up after grabbing my clothes.

Thirty minutes later I’m done, so I walked downstairs. To my surprise Mom made me breakfast before she left and Dad left gas money. I look at the time, its 7:30, so I grab my car keys and head to my car. When I got in my phone rings it’s Nick.

I answer, “What do you want Nick.”

Nick says, “I just want to apologize I was wrong and I’m sorry, can you please forgive me.”

I say, “No Nick you went too far this time. It’s over I’m sorry, but I can’t.” I pause and say, “I can’t keep doing this.” I let out a soft cry and say, “Don’t call me again, Please.”

 I hang up and crank up my car, right now I don’t feel like going to school so I guess that I won’t. I don’t want to see him today, or any other day. I love him to death, but I just can’t keep getting hurt.

   I punch my steering wheel; I just lost the most important thing in my life. I know I’m rude to her sometimes, but I don’t know how to express my love to her. She’s my angel and I guess to her I’m the devil. Truth be told I don’t know how to express my love to her. They say a guy shouldn’t cry, but with the emotions I’m feeling right now, I can’t help it. Tears flow down my face; I look at my phone and try calling her one more time

     I put my phone to my ear and wait for her to pick up, after a waiting for 5 minutes I knew when she said it was over she was serious. At this point I don’t know what to do, without Lola in my life I don’t know how I can make it through now.

  I guess it’s like they say You never what you had until it’s gone, and I’ve learned my lesson; but I’m not going to let her go that easy if she thinks that I would just let her slip away that easily she’s seriously lost her mind.

     I know Nick’s going to do something stupid today, so I decide to get out of town for my own protection. I grab my phone and look for my contacts, but as I look at all my apps I see an unusual one. I press it and it says tracking device. I say to myself , “What the fuck is this.” Like I have to ask who put on their Nick. I get out of my car and walk into my home, (well actually my parents house) and grab a hammer I smash my phone into little pieces after taking out my SIM card, then I go to room and put the SIM card in my back-up phone and look to see if that same app is on that phone, it’s not.

   I get back in my car and start driving. I don’t know where I’m going, but as long as I’m far away from Nick it really doesn’t matter.
