~Evernly

I stood there, in front of Taylor with my fist clenched so hard by my side trying so hard not to cry, I wanted nothing more than to rip her to shreds, yes I hate her that much. It took everything in me to stay rooted in that particular spot.

Every vein on my face twitched at the sound of her voice and until today I thought I had impeccable self control, I thought my past experience proved me to be but somehow Taylor made that feel like a lie.

Taylor shifted on her feet, all the while pushing out her left hip. She tilted her head up crossing her arms over her chest.

"A therapist huh!?" Taylor scoffed. "I should've known you are all cuckoo and lose in the head. Harry dumping you finally drove you over the edge?"

I would've laughed if I wasn't so angry. The situation was laughable and the irony of her calling me out when she was inside a building full of psychiatrist and therapist, probably heading in for an appointment herself was too much unless she somehow managed to get a psychiatry degree overnight and has an office in a building only for psychiatry, she had to be here for an appointment.

"Look at this, pot calling the kettle black." I scoffed right back at her.

I knew that she was egging me on, I was fully aware of that but I couldn't ignore her, I couldn't just walk away and I really, truly wanted to. I knew I should have but I didn't, she got under my skin and I wanted to get under hers just as much.

"Thank goodness your parents had another child because you're such a disappointment to them."

Taylor tried to hide her annoyance and embarrassment with no luck which gave me pure joy just watching her stumped and stumbling to find the words to defend herself.

Not giving her a chance to recover,  I turned around, my chest filled with pride and joy and as I strode away with confidence. I turned my head to say one last thing to look at her. "The people who tolerate you everyday are the real heroes of this world."

I may have acted all confident and strong but I was nothing but. As soon as I got inside my car that facade crumbled really quickly as I held the steering wheel for dear life. My whole body was shaking violently and the tears I was holding back started to sting my eyes a little bit.

I've lost so much because of that damn girl, she took so much me. I don't understand why someone would be so damn evil. I never did anything to hurt her and yet she hurt me so much, she almost destroyed me. I despise her, I truly do. I wish she'd just die.

"She doesn't deserve your tears Evernly." I chanted the line over and over again blinking back the tear. "Just calm down. Get to class and forget about that snake of a woman. She's a waste of space, her existence is just pathetic."

I continued calling her names but the truth is, I was the pathetic one because calling her name in my car actually made me feel better about everything.

By the time I made it to campus, I was feeling a lot better about everything although the altercation was still in my mind but I was at least a lot calmer and the incident was more of a footnote in my day. With my books in hand, I headed towards my English lit 101 classroom, ready to forget all about that woman.

My phone vibrated in my bag as I rushed through the mass of people. I took it out and a massive smile took shape in my face as I read the name.  I immediately opened the message.
