TWENTY-NINE
"Uh...I don't even know where to start," I tell him honestly, bile rising at the thought of telling him that my parents killed his; and that I basically saw his girlfriend snog someone else in the bathroom.
"The beginning would be good."
"Okay, um, uh, 10 years old my parents and I wanted to go get ice-cream. A late night craving, so we did...problem was my parents were talking. Talking to the point where they got distracted...and.." I pause, tears brimming my eyes. Skylar placed a comforting arm around my waist and hugged me close to his side, taking the pain away. He won't do that to you after he finds out about what you did.
"And...we crashed into another car. 4 people were in that car, a boy, girl, and parents. I don't know how to say this..." I choke out rubbing my hands over my eyes, trying to stop tears leaking.
"You were the one's that killed my dad and did all that damage right?" He said in one breath, voice coarse and broken.
I let the silence speak for myself.
"What else was the bad news?" He murdered 15 minutes later. I look up into his eyes incredulously,
"You...you're not mad?" I quietly ask, praying that it won't break the trance that we were in.
"...Mad is the wrong word...I am hurt..and not because you're family was the one to kill my dad but rather that you saw me...wrote to me...spoke to me but didn't have the decency to tell me about what your past entailed. I need some time but give me the other bad news, I think I can handle it. Best to get it all in one go." He spoke sadly, removing his arm from my waist instantaneously breaking the dreamlike state we were in.
"I don't know how to say this without...seeming like a bitch but...your girlfriend cheated on you." I say slowly, watching his already sunken face fall even more.
"And how do you know this?" He muttered quietly, voice cracking.
"On the way to this detention, I saw my best friends ex-boyfriend uh...with Lelani."
This time, he let the silence speak for itself.
His face was washed out with a pale colour and he moved away from me; breaking my already broken heart. It wasn't supposed to turn out this way. With my own eyes brimming with tears I shove earphones in my ears and listen to the 1975, drowning out the shards twisting my heart.
Who was I to kid? I...like Skylar. More than I admit to. Look where love got me, a broken heart and the loss of a friendship. I am never going to fall in love someone else ever again.
Love is bullshit.
