True Love Lasts

It's Over.

Chapter 1

"Please, I know this isn't you, don't do this." I cried. I was a sobbing mess begging Nathaniel not to leave me.

"Rachel I told you this just isn't going to work out. I don't love you anymore." He said as he forcefully pried my hands off of his arms. 

I looked into the eyes of the man I loved so deeply. For the past two years of my life, it was all him. There was nothing more than a stone cold stare towards me. I knew this was it.

He left me in the middle of the hallway as he walked off to class. It was the beginning of senior year of high school. How am I suppose to spend the rest of senior year being in the same school as him? I was completely numb. I didn't want to feel the pain. It was worse than anything I have ever imagined. It felt as though the world just became dull; the colors didn't look as bright as they use to. I went home that day and ignored absolutely everyone. 

Somehow, word went around that we had broken up. Jessica, my best friend, kept calling me until I finally picked up.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Of course, right as that question comes out of her mouth the tears start pouring out.

"It's okay honey, I'm going to be right here. Let it all out." She said as she tried to comfort me. But it didn't feel like it was ever going to get better. It felt like a nightmare come true.

At some point I got exhausted from crying and fell asleep on Jessica. When I woke up the next morning, I knew I had to go to school and see him in class. I slowly got up and made it to the bathroom. As I opened my eyes to look at the mirror, it was a disaster. My eyes were so swollen that it looked like I got stung by a bee in both eyes. I took off my clothes and jumped in the shower hoping to wash off all the sadness. It was very unsuccessful. I still felt like absolute shit.

Jessica came to pick me up to bring me to school. She picked up a chocolate chip muffin and a caramel latte for me, knowing that it is my favorite. But I had no appetite. I tried eating, but it made me want to throw up instead.

I went on with my days. It felt like I was drifting and before I know it a whole week has passed. I tried to think about anything but Nathaniel. But class didn't matter to me anymore. My friends didn't matter to me anymore. All I could think about was how much I wanted to see him, how much I wanted to be with him. 

At the end of sixth period I was walking to my next class when I looked up and saw the one thing that I never thought would happen. Nathaniel was hugging and kissing another girl. I stood there stunned. I didn't know how to react.

This couldn't possibly be real. I thought to myself.

But I saw my friends on the side whispering and pointing at them, I saw everybody staring at me. I tried to hold it in. I held in all the pain. I didn't let myself cry. He doesn't deserve to see the way he has hurt me. I walked right by them and entered into my next class. I knew he did it on purpose. He knew that I had class there and decided to kiss her right in front of my class.

Why do I have to wallow in self pity when the guy I love has clearly stopped caring?

I know better now.

Fuck love.
