Jas holds the door open for me. We hadn’t gotten a chance to talk all night and I was glad we got to go for the walk.
“Your sixteen, I still can’t get over that,” He says and I chuckle,
“Well get use to it I’m sixteen for another seven months,”
“You look really beautiful tonight Mimi,” Jaz says as we walk,
“Thank you,” I whisper, feeling the blush creepy up.
“So tell me something that is real,” Jaz says as we walk the dimly light corridor,
“Everything I said in that room is real,” I exclaimed in an offended voice,
“Oh no, don’t get me wrong I know everything you said was real but tell me something true about you. Ok how about this, have you had a boyfriend?”
“Why do you want to know?” I question him giggling,
“Because I am interested in why a beautiful girl like wouldn’t have a boyfriend?”
I blush, “yes I have but I is a long, long story,” I say praying to God that he doesn’t push the subject any farther,
“I believe we have time,” he says with a devilish grin.
We continue walking and I began to tell him the story,
“It was at the end of last year we started going out, his name was Ben. We were the star couple of our school. All the girls lusted after Ben and I was the brain of the school. He was there for me when things weren’t great at home. All my friend got on really well with him and my Mum and brother…”
“You have a brother?” Jaz says
“Yes and don’t interrupt if you want to know the story,”
“Sorry,” by this time we where now sitting in the middle of one of the corridors,
“So you should be,” I say giggling, “Anyway my family loved him. We had been going out for four months when a girl in my grade comes up and tells me that Ben and one of my best friends Cat were making out in the local park. I though the girl was playing a trick on me so I went to the park and saw them. I went home and cried for god knows how many hours. I then got a text from Ben saying he wanted to break up with me, I was so angry I nearly throw the phone out my window,” I chuckle at the memory, “After a couple of weeks Cat and Ben broke up. I hadn’t talked to either of them and neither had my friends. I started getting text message from his saying he still loved me and to give him another go. He convinced my friends he had change then got them trying to convince me. After about two weeks of this I moved here, making my friends swear not to tell him.” A small tear rolled down my cheek,
“Aw, Mimi I am so sorry,” more tears fell and Jaz pulled me into a hug. He rocked my small figure back and forth, providing comfort. Making me feel safe,
“Its ok, shhh” he keeps repeating in a whisper.
He hugged me for what seemed like hours, while I cried into his chest.
“Sorry, I just, just can’t I’m sorry,” I get up and run away. It felt like I was running fo ever, constantly turning left, then right, then left again. I had no idea where I was.
I collapse on the floor, holding my knees rocking back and forth. I can’t believe told a guy I meet twelve hours ago about Ben. It took me two days to tell my best friends and I told him. I have never told a stranger about it. Breathing deeply in, I recall the pain I felt that night. Like the world was going to end, or at least my part in it.
