Heart Broken

The sun is shining and it's seven o'clock in the morning on a Tuesday. It's just an average stupid day of school. The only good thing about school is my boyfriend, Kaden. He's broad shouldered almost like a gorilla, his eyes, blue stars that dance in pools of white, his hair, short and scraggly and his best feature, his smile. My heart falls down ten flights of stairs every time I see his smile. 

We've been on and off for a year now, but we've finally made it to three months without breaking up, I know it'll last this time. We've made so many plans to get married, buy a house in the country, have kids, have a dog and cat, to travel the world and most importantly to grow old together.

My bus finally pulls up to the school. Everyone stands in such a hurry to get off the bus, I never understood why, I'd rather be anywhere but school. I get off the bus watching a herd of students shuffle off to the school. I make my way to the pool doors, my headphones blaring in my ears. I push through the doors and there he is, I swear he shines even brighter every day I see him. I pull my headphones out of my ears and smile. I go to kiss him, but I guess he didn't see because he goes to hug me instead. We pull a part and I could tell something was wrong. He wasn't smiling, he was looking down.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Brooklynn, I think we need to talk.." he said monotonely. I know something is definitely wrong now, he said my name. He never calls me by my name. 

"Okay, what is it?" I say slowly but confidently.

"You know I love you, but I-I-I just don't think we can be together anymore." He said.

I feel like I'm having a heart attack. I feel my heart stopping, going slower as I process this, and then my heart picks up the pace like a runner on the final stretch. I run down the hall pushing past all of my peers. I make my way to the bathroom and shove my way in, I slam the stall door, lock it and slide down.That's when the tears came like bullets, fast and hard.

A million thoughts ran through my head. "How could this have happened? Why did he leave? What had I done? Why am I not good enough for him anymore? What about all of our plans?"

I couldn't move even if I wanted to pick myself up and go to class, I'm not going. I pull my phone out of my pocket and call the only person I want to talk to right now, my best friend, my mom. 

"Hello"

"Mom I-I can't be at school today, Kaden broke up with me and I'm a mess and I just can't, mom." I said between sobs.

"Honey, I can't understand you. Go outside let me pick you up."

I sight in relief, I push through the stall, out the door, down the hall and out the school doors. We've broken up before, but I know it's for good this time. That's why this is hard this time I need to get through this. I need to find someone better. I knew the final break up would be the worst, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.

Mom pulls up, finally, and I get in the car. Kaden was just a little part of me, my life will go on today and I will get through this heartache.
