2 heartbroken teens

1

I grab my skate and my headphones and I proceed to go outside with some of my closest friends. It's a rainy day, but we don't actually care. Plus, it's getting dark and we love night rides.

"Dude, you gonna skate with the headphones while raining?" My best friend Jordan asks.

"What if I want to?" I respond not in a rude way. He shakes his head.

"Whatever." Jordan mumbles.

"Are y'all already ready?" Justin comes into the house and shakes off the water of his hair. "Guys, it's really pouring outside. Maybe we should wait until tomorrow"

"So why are you asking if we are ready?" I laugh.

"Guys, Dennis just texted me and he can't come this time. He's busy with school stuff", says Zack while adjusting his beanie.

A thunder impacts us.

"Shit!" I cry out.

"Maybe Justin is right." Jordan speaks.

I cover my head with the hood of my red sweatshirt.

"Pussies", I mutter, and I go outside.

I really need this ride, and I don't care if it has to be on my own. I love staying in bed depressed as hell all day, but I also love skating, and it's one of the few things that I like that helps me to keep my mind busy and forget for a moment that I'm broken inside.

Someone follows me. I think Zack. I look back and, yes it's him.

"Just the two of us?" I say.

Jordan appears, too. And Justin. So I guess we are all eventually going out with the skate. It doesn't surprise me.

The wet road complicates doing tricks, so we just keep rolling around the neighborhood.

We hear another thunder.

"Vinnie, I swear to god if a lightning hit me I'm gonna kill you!" I hear the voice of Justin behind me.

"You won't because you'll be already dead." I look at him and I make a face.

"My spirit will", he adds, and I burst into laugh.

About fifteen minutes later, the rain starts to disappear, and the thunders are heard further.

"Now you can stop complaining." I bother Justin.

"Let's go to the skatepark!" Zack suggests. We all agree.

Jordan comes to my side.

"I see you are in a good mood today."

I chuckle.

"It comes and goes, y'know."

"But are you better?"

"Nah, bro."

I love my friend, but I don't really like to talk about the breakup. It's been almost three weeks, however it still hurts like the first day. The fact that it doesn't seem like that is because I'm good at hiding it. At least when I'm around people.

We reach the skatepark and immediately start doing tricks in the half-pipe and stair sets.

I thought that, because of the storm, we were going to be alone, but it's not the case. Not so far, there is a group of three boys and three girls.

The floor is too wet, so the boys and I keep falling down way often. That's not impediment for us to continue. And we love to make fun of the other, so we just make jokes about it.

I realize out of the corner of my eye that one of the girls is looking at me while I'm doing some flips. When I look at the group she's talking to one of the guys, so I guess I just imagined it.

"Yo, Vinnie, come and look at this!" Justin calls me.

"What?" I say when I approach him. He starts laughing.

"Nothing. I just wanted to piss you off."

"You idiot!" I push him jokingly.

Around 10 p.m we decide to come back home. Well, Zack doesn't live with us, but anyways he lives with another bunch of guys near the zone.

While leaving I check the notifications of my phone and suddenly someone calls my attention. I raise my head and I notice is the girl I saw before and one of the other girls. She has long, wavy, brown hair and brown eyes.

"Umm, what's your Snapchat?"

Holy moly. Honestly, I'm pretty shocked. I mean, I've never been asked to get my Snapchat or whatever. Anyways, I don't mind it, so I accept. She goes back with the rest of her friends with a smile.

Back with the boys, they ask me what that girl asked. I tell them, and of course they begin joking about it.

"Stop it!" But they don't.
