I slammed my bedroom door and dove onto my bed. I hugged my soft pillow as the tears rolled freely. A few minutes later, a soft knock came at my door. I choked down a sob and sat up. Go away! I said in a choky voice. Silence. Then came a quiet voice.
Lia? Im so, so
GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK! I screamed. It was my half-birthday. I would be 16 in 6 months. Nick opened my bedroom door slowly and stood awkwardly in the doorway. My face crumpled into tears and I threw my pillow at him. He jumped and the pillow dropped to the floor.
Hey, hey, hear me out, Lia, he tried to coax. I hugged my teddy bear to my chest and stared at Nick. He took a deep breath and began, It isnt what it looks like
Are you telling me that I didnt see you with Andrea on the night of OUR one year anniversary?! I shouted. I swung my legs over the bed and stood shakily. He looked desperate and his eyes shone with tears. Her mom is in the hospital, Lia. We were getting her a card!
WHY were you holding her purse in Kohls? I whispered, a lump forming in my throat. He had nothing to say after that. I picked up his Varsity jacket from my desk chair and walked it over to him slowly. I placed it in his trembling hands and said, Its over, Nick.
I swear I felt the least bit sorry for him. No please! Lia! he begged, but I had made up my mind.
Its over. I told him.
I stared out the window as he stumbled home. I lay down on my bed to cry, my anger gone. In its place was a deep sorrow I had never known. Not only had I lost my boyfriend, I had also lost my best friend.
