Shattered Pieces

Shattered Pieces

Yes. From the moment he talked to me, I knew this would happen. I knew I'd be a part of his little game. But this stupid heart of mine just wouldn't listen. It continued beating for him. It continued whispering his name. Now, I'm facing the consequences of my foolishness. The game is already over and I had just received the consolation price –the shattered pieces of my heart. And now, there's nothing I can do to put it back. All that's left inside me are only "shattered pieces."

We barely talk yet I know a lot of things about him. Who wouldn't? He's the soccer team captain, the president of the student council, the most outstanding student in school and of course, a heartbreaker. With his charms and skills, he could attract all the girls in school. All the girls wanted to be his girlfriend and I thought I would be an exemption. A lot of tears were wasted because of that heartless guy and for that, I despise him. But unfortunately, it happened. I fell for him. I tried to ignore my feelings but I failed. I hid my feelings and I tried to avoid him but every time his brown orbs catch mine, I hear the loud thump of my heart and I blush. I hate myself for feeling that way for him. During our prom, he asked me out and I said yes. That was the happiest night of my life. During that time, I didn't care what would happen in the future. I didn't care about what people would say about me…about us. I didn't care about everything. But the happiness didn't last. A month after the prom, he told me that we're over. He said that the game was over and that I had lost.

After hearing his deplorable words, tears spontaneously flowed from my brown eyes. I ran and ran…unaware where my feet would lead me. Then, I found myself in front of a magazine store. I wiped my tears and entered the store. A certain teen magazine caught my attention. The cover was my favorite teen star but what caught my attention were the words written beside her picture. It says, "LOVE CAN BE A MAGICAL THING…BUT SOMETIMES MAGIC CAN BE JUST AN ILLUSION." Yeah, right. Love is just an illusion. It was made to break someone's heart and unfortunately, I became one of its victim. And for the guy who broke my heart, I want to thank him for showing me the true meaning of love. He showed me that love is just a stupid game and I have lost… Now, there's nothing left for me…only a heart that was shattered and forever will be broken…(
