Lauren's POV
Do you ever miss someone so much but then realize that they forgot about you? They left you and stopped caring and stopped trying so you feel like shit for even missing them in the first place because they couldnt give a fuck about you? Yep. That was me. Lauren Scott. That was my biggest mistake; for ever trusting a guy would ever have the decency to stay with me.
Michael. I loved him. I always thought he was the one, that he understood me and for once in my life I was actually 100% happy. That was until the day he broke my heart by causing the ultimate betrayal; I went over to his house with chicken noodle soup and a stack of movies in my hand because he had cancel our plans because he wasn't feeling so well and I thought I'd cheer him up with my mom's famous (not really) chicken noodle soup and his favorite movies. I quickly knocked and waited a few moments for someone to open the door, but no one did. Again, i knocked and waited; still no answer. 'Hmm, maybe he cant hear me' I thought as I slowly turned the knob hoping it was open. To my surprise it was and I walked in calling out his name.
"Michael!?" I yelled. No answer. I suddenly heard noise upstairs. I quietly walked up the stairs and entered his room with an ocean wide smile on my face; but once I had figured out what the noise was everything around me became unreal. What I saw completely broke me. Michael was ontop of my so called 'best friend' and they were both butt naked. They both looked up in horror before I dropped everything and ran out the room with tears rolling down my eyes. 'How could he do this to me? How could either of them do this to me?' I asked myself as I tried to get out of there as quickly as possible. "Lauren! Please! Wait! Let me explain." He begged as he ran down the stairs with only his pants on. He grabbed my arm and twisted me around as I tried to get out of his hold. "There's nothing to say. How could you!?" I sobbed "It was a mistake; she means nothing to me. I love you." He pleaded. I scoffed "You're Disgusting!" I screamed as I finally got out of his hold and ran out the front door.
That was the day when my happiness burned down in flames.
Days went by, never once did i hear from Michael. No texts. No messages. No visits. No nothing. It hurts when someone who you have been with for years breaks your heart in less than a minute and doesnt even care enough to see how you are or even try to fix things between you guys. It was just left like that forever...
***********************
Rumors were going around school that Michael dumped me for my fake 'best friend' Ashley. But it was only us three who knew the truth to that rumor. Neither of them ever apologized to me nor corrected the false rumor. When they announced that they were officially a couple, my heart shattered into tinier pieces and I was left alone to mend the pieces.
I guess it seemed like I was fine on the outside, no one seemed to notice the darkness that has invaded me inside. No one notice on how much I was hurting. No one saw that i was suffering from pain. Every night I cried myself to sleep. All I wanted to do was scream. Why me? Was it all a lie? Did he ever even love me? I was like a ticking time bomb about to strike any minute. Everything was a blur until I realized; I wanted to die.
