Chapter 1
Zoe
"I will do absolutely everything it takes to make it up to you..." His brown eyes burned a hole through me as he pleaded for forgiveness. We were sitting on a bench in the middle of the town. As tears came to my eyes, I tried the best I could to fight them away. But there is just so much the heart can take, and letting out just one tear is something I had to do if I didn't want my heart to completely explode.
"Zoe, please don't cry." He said sweetly as he gently brushed away what I had let fall. I pushed his hand away from me, I don't want his touch to weaken my mind. I starred out at the night sky as more tears came to my eyes.
"I trusted you, Wade." I let a few words out, and each of them cracked. You could just hear the weakness behind them; you can just sense how close I am to completely crumbling.
"I know..." He said softly. I heard a snuffle from him, and that's what set me off completely. I looked over at him, and saw tears in his eyes too.
"How dare you? How dare you be upset about this? You were the one that ruined everything. You have no right be to upset about it. You knew what you were doing. You knew what was at stake. And that's the exact reason that you did it. You did it because you didn't want someone to actually believe in you because you're afraid of letting people down." I snapped.
"Well I do! I let you down, didn't I?"
"Yes! You let me down...and that's exactly what you wanted. You have no right to be upset with this situation, because it is all your fault. I hate you." I said, ready to get up and leave. He grabbed my hand fast and tugged gently.
"Zoe, I'm an idiot. I know why I did it...I...I don't want anyone else but you, I know that now!" I turned back to him and looked directly in his eyes as I tore my hand out of his.
"It's just a little too late for that. Don't bother trying to get me back...because it won't work. I have never been so hurt by anyone in my whole life. Thanks...for breaking my heart like nobody else has." I said before I turned my back and walked away from him.
"Zoe, are you alright?" Lavon asked me when I got to my house. He was waiting for me on the front porch step.
"No. No I'm not." I said sadly before I walked into my house and said nothing else. I crawled in bed and didn't know what else to do. I just laid there and cried. I've cried before, obviously...but I've never cried like this. I've never felt so heart broken, I've never felt such an ache in my chest. An ache that is emptiness...Thanks to Wade, I have learned what heart break is. And it is the worst feeling that one could ever have.
