The phone buzzes, and it doesn't take long until Jack picks up.

"Hey Merida!"

"Hey, Jack."

"What's up?" Jack knows me too well. Only he or my other best friends, Rapunzel and Hiccup would know I was depressed without seeing my face. We've all been friends ever since we were little; we called ourselves 'the Big Four' when we were at primary school and the name sort of stuck. As we went into secondary school we weren't mega popular but we weren't unpopular either. We were in the middle, and as we grew older friendships between us grew into more than just friendships I guess. But now I'm at a loss for what to say. I can't live with going out with Jack but I still want to be his friend...

"Jack, I'm sorry, I just -"

"Merida you can tell me anything. You know that."

"Anything?"

"Anything."

Don't blame me for what I say next then Frost Boy. (We nicknamed him this because he loves winter and snow so much.)

"Jack I just, I don't feel, comfortable, I guess, going out with you." I stutter the words and then rush on saying, "It's not you I promise -"

"So it was all a lie."

Jack's voice is dull and heavy but at the same time pulsing with anger.

"What?"

"You said you loved me." Jack is fighting to keep himself from shouting I can tell. "You said you'd love no one else."

"No! I wasn't lying! At the time at least -"

"Well it sounds like bullshit to me."

"You know what?" I start to raise my voice, "maybe it was! Maybe I never loved you! I know you liked Punzie anyway!"

I know that hit a nerve, because Jack knows it's true. He and Rapunzel had been spending more time than usual together and when I questioned him about it he assured me that it was nothing. Looking back I realise how stupid I was.

"You are a heartless bitch Merida."

Something within me snaps, like a taut bowstring being cut suddenly. Anger I never knew existed rises up inside me as I say as calmly as I can muster,

"You're an arsehole Jack. Get the fuck out of my life."

"We're over Merida."

I hang up and immediately plug my headphones into my phone. I hit play and Miracle by Hurts begins to play:

If you look in my heart you will find -

No love, no light, no end in sight.

And I'm looking for a miracle.

And I'm looking for a miracle.

But I hope, I pray, that I will find -

Cos I'm looking for a miracle.

Cos I'm looking for a miracle.

This makes me feel completely depressed so I skip the song,and I feel better when HoldOnby Olly Murs comes up.

We wrestle with the devil in the flickering light,

No way to tell who's winning the fight.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Hold on.

You're gonna get through it.

Even though I start crying, I know that this storm can't last forever. In the meantime though, I have to let this emotion out. I lay down on my bed, clutch a pillow to my chest and cry as hard as if Niagara Falls is running down my face.
