A/N: This fic is a ONE-SHOT, but if requested through reviews, I'll make it a full fic. Please review!
A/N2: Please take note that this whole fic is told from Freddy's point of view.
Being dumped really sucks. Maybe I'm saying this cause it's the first time I have ever been dumped, but still – it sucks. It really hurts…it's like, 'Why don't you just drive a knife through my heart instead? Won't that be easier?' But noooooo. She just has to break my heart and then let me live so I can watch her and want her day after day after day…
BITCH!
So here I am spread out on Dewey's sofa staring at the ceiling. If you didn't know any better, I swear it would look like I was frozen.
But then I feel the couch move down which means someone has joined me. I don't bother to see who it is, but continue staring at the white ceiling with one ant crawling on it.
"Tired?" the person asks. I know that voice. It's the voice of Katie, my best friend – apart from Zack that is.
I shake my head 'no'.
I hear her sigh and she comes closer so I can see her face. "Is it Betty?"
I nod 'yes'.
"Come on Freddy, it's been almost a month now," Katie says scooting closer to me.
I stay silent. I'm afraid that if I speak I will whine like a little boy and I am NOT a little boy.
"You need to get over her," Katie says firmly. Ha! As if she has any idea what I'm feeling. She's never dated anyone in her life.
"But what if I can't?" I tell her. "Seeing her everyday at school doesn't make it any easier for me either. Having her in more then three of my classes doesn't help."
"Do you want my advice?"
I shrug. Why not? Wouldn't hurt.
"This is something my mom told me," Katie paused. I knew why. Her mother had passed away recently a few months ago. She didn't cry and mope around so much anymore, but she was really depressed during that time. I was sad too because I was pretty close to her mom as well.
She continued, "If you get rejected or dumped, that means that there's someone better out there and someone out there who deserves you."
I sat up. "Wait a minute…I thought Betty was your friend."
"She is, but all I'm saying is that maybe you two aren't supposed to be together. Like I said, it's a sign from God. It means that there's someone better out there for you," she says. Katie is a religious person – she attended church twice a week and she was even in the choir.
"There's no one better for me," I say and like a movie, quick images of Betty flash in my mind.
"You're just saying that now because you're not getting over her yet. But don't worry, there's someone better."
"Yeah? Like who?" I ask her because she sounds so sure of herself.
She looks at me for a moment, and then scans the room. Then she gets up from the couch and walks over to the window that covers the whole wall. Staring outside the tinted window she says, "I'm not sure. But I just know there's someone better out there. You have to be patient. You can't rush love."
"What do you know about love and being rejected? You haven't had a single date in your life," I say to her.
She turns to look at me and I'm sort of freaking out. Her hazelnut eyes don't look sweet, loving, and kind like they usually do. They look rock solid and full of pain.
But then her eyes change back into their normal selves. "Believe me," she says in a some-what sad tone. "I know more then you think."
