True Loves Challenge

Chapter 15

Rosie's POV

I am so stupid! Why did I ever think that he would never cheat on me? After all, he is a boy. And all boys are stupid at times. Did he ever really love me at all?

It's Andrew all over again.

I start to drive home in tears. I know that it is dangerous to cry and drive, but how can I stop really? My heart is broken.

Before I even know it, I am home. I quickly run out of my car, lock it, and run into my house and head up to my room. Right now, I don't even care if Steve is there, the pain he gives me would be better than the pain I feel right now.

When I enter the room, Steve isn't there. That's a first. I collapse on my bed and cry for about ten minutes. Then there's a knock on the door.

"Rosie? I know what you have seen has broken you, but please let me explain" said Matthew through the door.

"Go away! I don't want to see you! I don't want to talk to you! Just leave me alone!" I yell.

The door opens and Matthew comes into my room. I immediately turn my back to him and try to shut him out. If he won't listen to me and leave me alone, then I won't listen to him. "Look, I know what you have seen, and I know that you are hurt, but I did not kiss her back." DIDN'T KISS HER BACK?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! HIS HANDS WERE ON HER WAIST!

"I know, my hands were on her waist, but that was me trying to push her away!" Excuses, excuses...

"I know you may think that I am making this up, but it's the truth!" He comes closer to try and see my face. I turn even more enough that I am almost laying on my stomach. He sits on the bed and sets his arm on the other side of me to balance himself. "I love you, and I would never hurt you on purpose. And things happen that we don't want to happen. But they happen. Please, know that this was just a little mistake and I..."

"LITTLE MISTAKE?!" I yell. He stood up as I sit up to yell better. "YOU WERE KISSING ONE OF MY FRIENDS WHILE WE WEREDATING!"

Mathew started to cry a little. "Were?" He said barely above a whisper.

I say this a little quieter. "Did you really believe that I would come crawling back to you once you said sorry?"

I turn my back to him again once the tears started to form in my eyes. I can hear Matthew crying as well. I ignore it.

I could hear Matthew starting to leave when he stopped and he said, "I was planning on asking you to Prom today by your car. Then she stopped me. She smelled of alcohol. Me being the stupid guy I am, I didn't want to hurt her. I don't want to hurt anyone. It's just not who I wanna be, someone who creates pain. That is why I came back for you. Because not only did I hurt you, I hurt myself. I love you. I never wanted to hurt you. I'm sorry." He walks out and closes the door behind him.

Once he leaves, his words float in the back of my mind. "She smelled of alcohol." "Not only did I hurt you, I hurt myself." "I was planning on asking you to Prom today by your car."

Prom, it was always a dream of mine to go to my Senior Prom, or any prom for that matter, with Matthew. But after what just happened to me today, I don't know if I want to. I don't know if I will ever be able to say I love you to him ever again. Because I feel like I don't love him anymore.

I feel like I can't move. I am so beat down that I don't even know anything anymore. Is there even anything left of me? I feel sick to my stomach. The thought of food makes me want to throw up. I haven't eaten since school. I don't plan on eating anytime soon, that's for sure.

I just can't handle anyone right now. If Steve or Andrew would come at this very moment, I would just about be ready to die. I don't want to see anyone.
