I wake up beside Oscar who is snoring softly. His face is soft and gentle as he sleeps and his hair is ruffled against the pillow. I smile as his eyes flutter open.
"Hello Talia," he whispers. I rise out of bed and to my wardrobe to dress for the day. Oscar stayed with me last night to comfort me. My mother knows him so she was okay with him staying.
"Hello Oscar," I finally reply. He slides out of bed and pulls on a clean shirt. Don't worry, he was wearing one in bed too. I go to get changed and find myself texting Adam.
Adam: I'm so sorry baby, I love you, please forgive me xxxxx
Natalia: Go suck ass Adam.
He'll probably go suck that blonde girl's ass. Jerk.
Oscar knocks on the bathroom door and tells me to hurry. What did he have planned for today?
"Ice skating!" Wow. Every girl's dream. I say with complete sarcasm.
I roll my eyes as he leads me towards the rink to get our skates on. I suck at ice skating. I suck at balancing full stop! What is this boy doing to me?
Adam: Only yours baby ;) xxxxx
Ugh. Why does he keep texting me? Get the hint Adam! I hate your guts now!
"You okay?" Oscar asks when I shove my phone in my pocket. I nod and take his hand, scared to step onto the ice. I wobble slightly when the blade touches the ground but Oscar is there to support me, like he always has been.
We skate for a while, falling several times, before heading to get some lunch.
Adam: You didn't reply baby, so I take that as a yes? ;) xxxxx
Natalia: Take a fricking hint Adam! Get out of my life!
We eat our chicken burgers and talk about all the shit relationships we've had in the past. Sad thing is that I've only had one, and that was with Adam. Why did I 'fall for him' when we were ten years old? However, Oscar has plenty. He is the King of crap relationships. One of them being with my cousin; that lasted all of two days. We are always told by friends and family that we should be together. But Oscar is like a brother and you wouldn't date your brother would you?
It's about 4 o' clock now and I am walking Oscar home. He waves goodbye before chasing after his little brother up the stairs. More like little monster. I smile and continue to walk to my house where I find an unwanted guest...
"Adam!?" He sits on my bed, smiling as if nothing had happened at all.
"Your mum let me in," he says, still smiling. Why didn't I tell my mother I'd finished with him? His nose is a little crooked and his cheek is bruised but I have no regrets from that moment in time.
"Get out," I say bluntly, pointing towards the door. He tilts his head and raises an eyebrow. What an ignorant asshole!
He stands up and comes closer to me, embracing him into his warm arms. He leans closer, warm breath against my lips, closer, closer—
"Stop! Get off me and get out!" I yell, shoving him across the room. He blows me a kiss and leaves the house, but his scent stays tingling on my lips.
"What's the matter honey?" Mum asks poking her head around the door.
"Adam. I'm not with him anymore." And now I cry. I cry floods and oceans of tears because I will miss that tingling sensation he gives me and the smell of his skin against mine to comfort me when I am sad. I cry and cry in my mother's arms until I finally fall into a deep sleep.
