"Okay Maddie, you can do this" I thought to myself.
It was one week after my deep conversation with Olivia, which meant the beginning of the week, which meant Monday, December 15th 2014 to be exact. Time has flown since my fight with Trevor... It has been one month already. Winter was coming and I was there, outside school's yard, rubbing my hand together to warm them up. I was standing, staring at the boy a few meters away from me. I took a deep breath and a cold, white steam appeared from between my lips as I started to walk slowly to him, not really in a hurry.
"Hey Eric..." I trailed off as I approached him.
"Oh hey Maddie" he replied, kinda shy, probably too shy to kiss me or something.
"Um, I just wanted to tell you something..."
I hesitated. Why ? I thought a lot about this, that's why I waited one week. Now I was sure of what I wanted to do. Come on, Maddie.
"I-I... Don't you want to go to a place where there's nobody ?"
The yard was filled with students who were enjoying the ten minutes break.
"Sure" he nodded.

We walked to the hallways who were empty at this hour of the day. I stopped to face him.
"Um, there's no easy way to say this, but..."
"You wanna break up, right ?" he asked.
I gulped. He was making the task easier for me, but harder for him.
"Um...yes. But it's not because of you, it's me."
I suddenly felt very stupid ; those kind of breakups happen in movies and are very cliché, like "we need to talk", "I need space", "it's not you, it's me" when really all is happening is that the girl just loves another one or is enough of the guy she's currently dating and in my case, it was unfortunately the first one.
"I...I want to tell you that you were- uh, are a great boyfriend and just a great guy in general, but I..."
"Yeah and that's why." he interrupted me, sharply.
I looked at him, confused.
"Did you notice how it's always the good guys that take everything in their faces ?? Girls complain they can't find any good, sweet guy but they all like bad boys ; that's why good guys go bad."
I didn't answer, shocked about the truth.
"I know you are leaving me because of him. I know it. I know why you fought with him, and what it was about though no one told me. I guessed on my own. Because I knew from the beginning. He was always like this, and you know as much as me that it wasn't the first time he humiliated and disrespected a woman like this."
His words hit me like a bullet. He was right. And he was amazing. I, WE, the female gender, were women for him. Not just simply "girls".
"Eric I-"
"You know what Maddie, it's okay."
First time I saw him annoyed.
He walked away leaving me there, alone in the hallways.

A/N : I know I'm late, but
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!!! :D <3<3 :*
May all of your wishes come true. ^.^
