Not About Happy Endings

Damn Them Memories

Three weeks since I "broke up" with Lois, or did she break up with me? Hell, were we even dating? I became numb, not really knowing what to do without her. I didn't want it to end, ever. We both thought it will last more
than three months, but it all went to hell because of me. Because of how I once texted her when I was pissed, how I started being rude to her, insulting her, hurting her. How I ended up calling her a bitch.

That was step one to "How to fuck up your relationship with the girl of your dreams". I take all responsibility for that happening, I forced things, everything was moving way too fast and my asshole attitude did not help.

I always was the kind of guy who fell in love with a girl and did everything possible to get her but at the end, got his heart broken, and maybe I just wanted some payback, even though I can recall myself saying "If I ever get a girl I love to love me back, I will never hurt her", I still did what every other girl did to me. Maybe I was never the sensible type of guy who was also a hopeless romantic, gentleman and caring person. Maybe I've always been an asshole but hadn't had the opportunity to behave like one. Maybe my heart has always been the worst kind of weapon I have. Though I'm still having an inner fighting wether I loved Lois or not, in the end, I was a douche.

It was monday morning and I had to go to school. So when I was ready I told my father I was going to get a ride from Luke, my best friend. My mother's death made a wall between my dad and me since the day I was born. We didn't talk at all, just when it was necessary. Not sure if he was afraid I was going to ask him about mom or because I reminded him way too much of her.

Luke is a tall guy, brown messy hair, white skin, dark brown eyes, a little fat but he doesn't really cares about it, and with an acne problem. Oh, and weird, he is really weird and I guess that's why we became friends. He lives a couple of blocks from my home so I plugged in my headphones and started walking while Fall Out Boy played in the background. I was still not over the fact that Lois and I weren't together anymore. I tried to keep her off my mind, but I just couldn't do it. Worst thing of all is that she went to the same school I went so I would probably keep seeing her on the hallways. So yeah, it is going to be hell these couple of days.

Luke is my best friend, but one thing I don't talk with him, well actually with no one; is my love life. So when I knocked on his door I had to pretend there was nothing wrong. Put on my happy mask and pretend, pretend I'm okay.

"Hey dude!" Said Luke "I didn't see you this whole weekend, where were you? Did you escape with Lois to a "Romantic Weekend"? He is said this with his "Lover Boy" voice.
I said "Nah man I just didn't feel like doing anything. And I don't feel like taking the bus to school today, would you ask your mother if she can give me a ride?"
"I wish I could say yes" Luke started saying "but I'm going to say no, not because I don't want to, trust me, but because this time she is letting me drive on my own..." He gave me a look that said "I can't help you, I wanna impress chicks" so I told him it's okay I understand and started walking to the bus stop.

Great. First my girlfriend breaks up with me at the end of the summer, then my best friend is way too desperate to give me a ride to the first day of school. Just great. The bus ride to school was not that bad. I sat on one of the almost last seats listening to my "Sad" playlist. I started thinking about how much I've missed lots of people in my school. You see, my school is not that big, so I kind of know everyone and I'm pretty sure they think of me as a nice guy, actually, now that I think about it, everyone does know me, You could say I am pretty popular at my school. Huh, I guess Lois will have a hard- dammit, Lois.

Memories started filling my mind, memories I shared with Lois. Like that one day she was home alone and I showed up in my dad's car and asked her out. She has never been the risky type, so she wanted to say no, but I managed to change her mind. We had a great time making fun of the cops in the coffee shop. She was wearing her sexy messy bun, and god I love messy buns. When we finished our coffee I stared at her eyes for a while and she stared at mine, until I couldn't handle so much beauty and had to look the other way.
-"How are you so good at this"- I said, "you always manage to beat me, I hate you"

-"Oh, shush, we both know you love me" she said in her sassy voice

-"Oh yeah? And why are you so sure about that?"

-"I'm not. I'm just hoping you feel the same way I do"

-"Wait"- my voice got a bit shaky -"Are you saying you love me?"

-"I'm saying we both love me"

-"Wow"- I said with a grin on my face- "Way to kill the mood"

Funny thing was, when we arrived at her house, her dad's car was there.

"Holy Fu-"she started saying

"Dge"-I said, covering up her mouth -"Holy Fudge."

I decided to walk with her all the way to the doorsteps and when she knocked her dad showed up, totally not happy.

"Good afternoon Mr. Derek" I said. Lois gently pushed me and whispered -"It's Dave"

"Yeah, that's what I meant, Mr. Dave, I saw your daughter walking around town, lost. Good thing I found her and immediately brought her to you"

"Well"- Derek, I mean, Dave started saying -"Thank you, young man, but next time I hope Lois will give us a phone call before she goes into town and gets,uh, 'lost'"He said, smiling at me.
*•*

A voice interrupted my memories, I turned and saw a cute girl standing. Brown, straight hair, blue eyes, high cheek bones and red lips.

-"So? Is it taken or not?"- she said, I must've stared for a long while, the expression in her face said so.

-"What are you talking about?" - I said

"Let me rephrase it"- she cleared her throat and said imitating a guy's voice "Hey bruh, can I sit next to ya? Ya know, so we can talk 'bout chicks, football and video games?"

I smiled, "Sure thing bro" I started grabbing the stuff next to me, my backpack and some books.

"Hey, that's no way to treat a lady" she said as she sat next to me.

-"Sorry," I said in a serious voice -"Sis"

She smiled and laughed at me, her smile made me forget about Lois and everything else.

"Name's Helena"
