I silently stood there and watched to scene unfold in front of me. My already broken heart began to shatter more, if that was even possible. The air around me got heavy, it was like deadly fog that caused my insides to burn, it was as if this fog was meant to go up my nostrils, once inside it spread burning and re destroying everything that was fixed. I took a shaky step backward as if any noise will bring the unwanted attention from the people in front of me. I noticed that my vision began to get blurry as the image began to become a blur. I don't know if I should be grateful or wipe them off so that I could see if it was really them. I kept telling my brain that it was a twisted illusion that my insecurities were creating to punish me for leaving him alone when he need me, but my sad, my sorrowful half empty heart was telling me other wise.
I managed to back away a few steps without bumping into any one, and I was grateful for that but destiny was not in my side anymore as I hit a well-built chest, a pair of arms wrapped themselves around my lower waist, the hint of Axe hit my nose I automatically knew that it was him. Jake Martin or as everyone like to call him Degrassi's newest heart throb. No matter, how well his chest was, or his physic, or his lushish brown hair that swayed as he walked the halls nor the straight rows of pearly white teeth. He was something I wanted, he was something to get over what I had-what I let go, he was in other words the rebound.
"Hey, where are you going? The dance hasn't even started yet" Jake chuckled. It took me a few seconds to let those words sink in, it was Friday night, I was at a dance, at the dot, with Jake, my date. Jake, my date, not Eli. I choke back the lump in my throat that formed, and with the fakest voice I could mastered up I laughed. I bitter laughed.
"Oh, yeah sorry I was trying to head for the restroom and I thought it would be fun to head to it going backwards, silly me" I quickly wiped off my salt water tears and spun around and gave him a fake smile. He of course didn't noticed, he nodded and gave me a silly grin. A grin not a smirk. I don't know if I should be grateful that he didn't noticed or feel even more empty that he didn't noticed the small gestures that I his girlfriend did. Pushing that thought behind I headed for the restroom that luckily was near the other side of the dot, away from Eli and that girl.
After locking myself in the stall for a good 10 minutes I came out and went to the sink and began to wash my tear stricken face away, re-applying some makeup doing another double check to make sure I wasn't a mess, I pushed the door and set foot on the dance floor, taking a deep breathe I went searching for Jake. I spotted him talking to a blonde headed girl, a cheerleader, I scoffed, he seemed to be into the conversation that I decided to look for Alli. Crossing over the mushy bodies pressed together I spotted her talking to Jenna, I inwardly groaned and turned around my heel before they could spot me. As I did I was bumped into someone, stumbling back a few steps, not managing to hit the ground, I slowly lifted my gaze and my icy blue eyes clashed with forest green….
