Broken (Short Story 3)

He started to walk away as my world came crashing down around me. I leaned against the wall I was standing next to and sat down. I buried my face in my knees and cried. He left me. The love of my life, James Hank, left me. All because of one argument we had a couple of hours ago.

He had invited me out on a date at the pier. We had already played all the games at the arcade and eaten about one of everything. Our date was coming to a close. Little did I know our relationship was to. We were leaning our backs against the wall behind a restaurant looking over the sunset on the sea. Then hell broke loose. I don't remember what happened. I don't even remember how it started. But he just walked away at the end.

After about an hour of sobbing, I tried to call him. He didn't answer. I tried again and again, but still no answer. He text-ed me after I had called him and left like 50 billion voice mails. The text read:

"pls stop callin me. were ova. sorry. -James"

I replied with:

"James, please don't leave me. We have been together 3 years and I have never been so happy! Please! We can work it out. Please James! Meet me at the pier and we can work this out. -Zoe"

"no zoe. were not going to discuss it. WE ARE OVER!! why do you not understand that?!?! stop replying. -James"

"NO!! I will NEVER STOP TRYING TO GET YOU BACK!! At least, please let us talk. Meet me at the cafe where we had our first date. You remember, don't you? -Zoe"

"of course i do. it was the best day of my life. I'll meet you at 3? only to talk. if it will make you leave me alone. -James"

"Your sending me mixed messages here... I'll still meet you at 3. -Zoe"

I was so happy that he finally agreed to meet up.

When I got there, I tried to look as sexy as possible. Trying to make him fall for me again. I had borrowed some of my sisters make-up and watched some beauty gurus on YouTube, I looked decent. I also wore a little summer dress with light blue and white with white pumps. I saw him sitting at a table outside. He was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans with "cream" converses. He stood up when he saw me coming. He smiled that brilliant smile and flipped his strawberry blond hair out of his face. He greeted me with a hug. Even though we weren't together, he still treated me the same. Which was nice.

We chatted for hours. It turns out, that the argument we had, was the breaking point in our love life. I asked him for how long he wanted to leave me for. He said he never wanted to leave me. He wanted to see if I would miss him. It was a sick joke, I was angry, but, I loved him still.

And we have been together since.
