I uttered the confession that I had longed to say for weeks, "I love you Patch".
Patch sighed, and replied in a gentle whisper, "I know Angel, I know"
His tone sounded guilty, mournful even, and my brain demanded that I question him, but my body was weak and yielded to exhaustion, and I fell to sleep without another word.
I still remember every detail of that night 3 weeks ago. It haunts me every night when I go to sleep. How could I have been so stupid? I had been so naive to ignore the fact he hadn't declared his love to me in return. I was so sure that he did love me, that he was simply nervous about admitting his feelings to me. But that hadn't been the case. I had woken up the morning after, to find him gone without so much as a note, and when I had arrived at school, he had completely blanked me. I thought that was bad, but it was nothing compared to lunch. I had walked into the canteen with Vee, only to find my arch-enemy Marcie Millar, draped over the lap of my "supposed" boyfriend snogging him in front of everyone!
Patch and Marcie were kissing? I gasped in horror,and silence fell as everyone looked at him. Marcie,with her smudged lipstick and flushed face,turned round and gave me a smug smirk"Oh Nora,sorry you had to find out this way" she pulled a fake sad pout, "but Patch and I just can't fight our attraction anymore, there was too much sexual tension and we finally just snapped. Sorry….." her facade broke and she started laughing, cackling as my heart snapped in two.I looked into Patch's eyes, and the eyes that had held so much passion the night before,were now tightened in what appeared to be pain and guilt. With one final look,and tears streaming down my face, I pushed past a shocked Vee, running out as fast as possible to my car. I drove off, forcing myself not to look back for fear of breaking down.
I angrily wiped my eyes before too many of my tears could escape. It still hurts to think about what he did, how he made me think that he loved me, when in reality he was just using me for sex. He took my virginity, and while he will always have a part of me, I have to try to move on and stay strong, because now I will forever have a part of him as well. My name is Nora Grey. I am 17 years old, and I am 3 weeks pregnant with Patch Cipriano's child.
