Chapter 1 - Mike

~•¤}&{¤•~

10 years ago

Graduation was over. I was riding home from a graduation party with my boyfriend Mike. We had been dating for half of high school. He was so sweet. I really liked him.

"Bella?" Mike said as he suddenly stopped the car at the side of the road.

"Yes Mike?" I asked wondering why he suddenly stopped.

"Bella I love you." He said and my stomach fluttered.

"I love you too." I said smiling at him.

He smiled brightly. "Bella I want to stay with you forever. I want us to elope together and get married tonight. I can drive us to Vegas right now. Our parents don't need to know about it. As long as we're together forever." He said and my smile dropped and my eyes widened.

He must have not noticed the look of horror on my face because he leaned over and kissed me. I stayed frozen just staring wide eyed as he kissed me. I didn't respond and that's when he noticed. He pulled back slightly.

"Bella?" he asked worried.

"Uh," I just stared at him still.

"Bella isn't this what you want?" he asked hesitantly. "I thought you wanted this. You said you wanted this." He said quickly getting worried now.

I then remembered when I said I wanted this last year. I closed my eyes and bit my lip. I had only said that because my parents were annoying me and I just wanted to get away from them as soon as possible.

"Mike," I said and then sighed opening my eyes. "I didn't mean it literally. I just said that because I was annoyed with my parents at the time."

"Oh," he said looking quite foolish. "So you don't want to get married?" he clarified hoping that I might change my mind.

I shook my head. "No." I said and it was like I had just dropped a bomb on his entire life. "I'm sorry. But you have to understand that we're too young. Did you honestly think that one day we might get married?" I asked and only after saying it I realised that it might have sounded a bit harsh.

"Um, yeah." He said looking around awkwardly. "I was kinda hoping for that."

"Oh," I said with my eyes wide. "You do realise that it wouldn't work right? Even if I did say yes."

"Why not?" he demanded.

"Well," I hesitated not sure if I should tell him the truth but decided I should. "Think about it realistically. I'm going to college across the country. You didn't even make it into college. I can't be with a guy who's probably not even going to make a decent income."

He looked angry. "So, when were you planning on breaking up with me?" he asked angrily.

I bit my lip. "Well, I was kinda hoping you would forget about me when I went to college."

"So you've been stringing me along this whole time?" he asked super angry.

"No, no, not at all!" I said quickly.

"Then what?" he said loudly. "Why did you stick with me if you knew it wasn't going to last?"

"Well," I looked at him and bit my lip. "It was fun while it lasted right?" I asked hesitantly.

He looked extremely furious. "Could you just leave!" he exclaimed and opened my door.

"What!" I said shocked.

"Just leave! I don't want to see you again." He said angrily.

I quickly got out of the car shocked. I watched as he shut the door and drove off quickly. I was quite shocked that he would just leave me like this on the side of the road. What a jerk! I thought as I started walking towards my house.
