Secret: Do you know how bad it hurts when I walk past you in the hallways and you act like I'm nothing? How I told you how I felt and you just blew it off? It hurts badly. No one understands why it does, but I do. And I know you do too. Was it so hard for you just to say, "I don't love you"?


Linda's POV

I should have known. Louis is a heartbreaker. Everybody knows it; he never stays with a girl for more than a week. But he stayed with me for a month. I thought that maybe we were different. I confessed how I felt. He broke my heart.

He turned away and didn't reply. He left me at the Broomsticks. He just turned away and left. It wasn't an official break up; he just left me. He blew off my feelings; he didn't even tell me if he felt the same way.

I tried to convince myself that he did. I tried to tell myself that Louis was just embarrassed to admit that he felt the same way. In two weeks, though, he was dating another girl. He left me feeling empty.

My friends told me I would have felt the same way if he had broken up with me. But now, it feels more like he's cheating on me. After all, we never officially broke up. And to this day, I still hold on to the stupid obsession that we're still going out. He never officially broke up with me. He just left. He never told me how he felt. He never even looked my way again.
