Sorry for this pointless chapter but i had to put something before the big change :)

I sat waiting for Vladik to answer as long as I could remember. I was about to give up when I heard a voice from the other end.
“Hey Nata.” Vladik said, his voice quivered. I took a deep breath and bit my lip as my eyes teard up.
“Vlad, I remember it all.” I whispered my voice breaking in the middle of my sentence. The memories floated in my head and I burst out in tears.
“Look Nata I’m sorry please don’t cry.” He begged me. Bile rose into my throat and I swallowed it leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!” I screamed at him, I didn’t care anymore if Marina heard me. Anger boiled inside of me and I smacked my fist on my drawer. The pain shot through my whole arm and I fell to the ground crying. Vladik wasn’t saying anything so I hung up and threw the phone on my bed.
Rolling around on the floor, the memory came back and I began to cry harder. I heard my bedroom door opening.
“Nata are you alright?” Marina asked softly and knelt down next to me. I sat up and brought my knees to my chest, setting my chin on my knees. I felt Marinas hand brush the small of my back.
“You okay?” She tried again. I looked up at her; she was blurry through my tears.
“Yeah, um I’m fine.” I answered; it was obvious she didn’t believe me. I mean any person could see that I was far from fine. She gave me a strange look.
“Want to talk about it?” Marina asked and sat down beside me putting her arm around my shoulders.
“I thought…”I began searching for the right words. I didn’t even know what I thought. So many thoughts were going through my mind at this moment. My head was as confused as an m&m in a skittles bag.
“What did you think?” Marina asked patting my back. I turned and looked her in the eye a tear rolled down my cheek.
“I don’t even know what I thought. I’m so confused Marina!” I screeched my voice breaking as I burst into tears again.
“What are you confused about?” She asked sounding really concerned.
“About my feelings.” I blurted out still crying. My head hurt and my nose was running. I wiped my nose on my sleeve not caring anymore. My life was messed up. I wish I just could go back in time and fix everything. My mother would never get cancer. Vladik would have never broken the doll. Everything would have been perfect. But unfortunately that’s not possible. As much as I wish it would happen it never will.
“Listen Nata, if you don’t like Vladik break up with him. And honestly I don’t like that kid.” At Marina’s words my head snapped up and I looked at her. I don’t know if I should feel angry or just happy she’s trying to help me out.
“No I like Vladik; I’m just not sure I love him.” I snapped at her. Then I instantly felt guilty for snapping at her like that. “Sorry Marina.” I added quickly. She shook her head as if to say its okay and smiled a little. “Maybe you’re right though, I should break up with him.” I said again staring at my wrist.
“Just think about it before though, I don’t want you to blame me afterwards.” She said patting my back, she stood up and with one last pat left me all alone in my lonely room. I
I sat on the floor thinking really hard, maybe a little too hard. My headache got worse. Before I could even tell what was going on I fell asleep, my chin on my knees and my hands hugging my thighs.
“Hey Natashka!” A boy I had no idea who he was yelled my name. He had dark hair and his eyes were the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. I turned my hair hitting me in the face. He ran up to me and hugged my waist and for some weird reason it felt so great. The unfamiliar boy put his hand on my cheek and brought my face close to his. My lips inches apart from his. Then I heard his voice.
“What the heck are you doing with my girl?!” Vladik yelled pushing the guy away from me. Vladik grabbed my waist and started pulling me away. I tried to grab hold of the guy.
“At least give me your name I screamed.” The guy stood there sadness in his eyes, he just looked down and never gave me his name. I started to hit Vladik trying to wiggle out of his grip, but he only tightened his hold. My eyes teard up and I didn’t even know why. Before anything else could happen, I woke up in my bed tears still in my eyes.
I looked at my clock it read 3:57. Laying back down into my bed I thought about that guy. He was gorgeous. Much more gorgeous than Vladik. My breathing stopped as I just replayed that thought. I knew what was happening I was falling out of love. But what if this boy didn’t even exist? Maybe it was just a dream. I closed my eyes blocking out all the thoughts.
In no time I was sound asleep that guy still on my mind.
“Nata. Nata get up!” David said as he began to tickle me. My first reaction was to kick him where the sun doesn’t shine. So I did. He jumped back clutching his area as his face went from different expressions. I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. His expressions were priceless.
After he recovered he grabbed my shoulders and pushed me down on my bed, his face was red from anger.
“You will pay for that you little adorable shrimp.” David said and he began to tickle me again. This time he held my legs with one hand and the other he tickled me. I rocked back and forth laughing so hard. I was so close to peeing my pants.
“Stop….Stop! I’m ganna….PEE!.” I screamed trying to kick him off of me. No luck. David ignored my words and continued on tickling me. “David. Please…STOP!” I tried again through laughs.
He stopped for a moment and looked me straight in the eyes his expression serious as heck. I put my lips in a straight line and stared at him.
“So what’s the deal about you and Vladik?” He asked letting go of my legs and stepping back putting both hands on his waist. I looked at him confused.
“Don’t want to talk about it.” I said, getting up and starting to shove him out the door. David planted his feet and I couldn’t move him not even a centimeter. I Groaned and sat back down on my bed.
“I think I’m going to break up with him.” I blurted out quickly, looking down at my toes. I felt David sit down next to me on my bed.
“I talked to Vladik this morning.” David said softly. Turning my attention to him I gave him a sign that he could continue. “He was upset.” Silence followed his words.
“Why was he upset?” I asked after a couple of minutes. David got up and shook his head.
“I really don’t know.” He answered and left my room closing the door softly.
Sighing I bit my lip keeping the tears in. I didn’t want to look like a wreck in school. Thoughts wandered my mind as I slowly got dressed for what I knew was going to be a dreadful day.
As soon as I got to school I turned off my car and stepped out. It was nice out so I wore capris and a t-shirt from Abercrombie and Fitch. I saw Korina step out from her silver car and run towards me. She jumped into my arms and I squeezed her.
“Man I missed you my little cupcake!” I squealed. Korina giggled and grabbed my butt. I jumped and we burst out laughing.
“Missed you too short stuff.” She said and poked my nose. Arm in arm we walked off together to class.
