Chapter 20- I Won't Forgive, But I'll Try to Forget
~Chase's POV~
I sat on the grass near the watermill, feeling like I'd been punched right in the gut. I was sitting with my head in my hands, faintly feeling wet spots moving down my cheeks.
'Damn it! I can't cry!' I mentally scolded myself, also giving myself a mental punch on the face. I slapped the "tears" off my face and took a deep breath to try and calm down, but they just kept flowing. It felt like a dam had broken behind my eyes. I was such a baby.
I just couldn't get it out of my head. No matter how long I sat there, the image wouldn't stop replaying in my head. Coryn was….cheating on me. It hit me like a load of bricks. I saw her. Kissing the mayor's son. And she didn't pull back for a LONG time. Had she enjoyed it?
'Well, she would have pulled away quickly if she hadn't.' I thought. I rubbed my face hard, trying to make sense of it all. Was Coryn cheating on me with Gill? If so, why was I not enough? Sure, I'm not super muscular or anything, but Gill was even scrawnier than me as a result from spending his days locked up in his house reading and doing paperwork. He was such a dork, so why?
I replayed it in my head once again.
I was walking briskly to Coryn's house earlier than usual. Well, actually I was headed to the Garmon Mines District to buy a new mixer since mine exploded. Let me just say that orange smoothies are VERY difficult to clean off ceilings. Anyway, I thought that since I was already heading in that direction, I could just ask her to come with me. I also just really wanted to see her as soon as possible. So, I quickly grabbed my wallet and went out my door.
But when I turned the corner that led to Coryn's farm, I saw something I really didn't want to see at that moment. That bastard Gill was holding my girlfriend's shoulders, kissing her. I watched, frozen, as his hands moved to her waist. I tore my eyes away then, turned around, and ran right back to Flute Fields. I could get my mixer later.
Now, as I wiped my angry tears, I recognized another feeling. Jealousy. I was known for being a rude, snarky person. I got jealous easily. I just wanted to smack that little pompous upside the head. I got up quickly and stomped angrily back to my house. I slammed the door, almost knocking all of my pictures off the wall. One fell down nonetheless, landing on the wooden floor with a crash. I frowned, walking carefully over to it so as to not cut myself on the glass shards that littered the floor. I picked up the picture and looked at it for a long time, becoming increasingly angry. My knuckles turned white as I held it tightly.
Then I ripped it, right in two.
I ripped it so that it was separated into two pictures.
One was of me, the other was of her.
I dropped the two pictures,
And watched them fall and rest on the shattered glass
As I slammed my bedroom door as well, leaving the broken glass out in the open.
Oh noes! cliffhanger poem-ish ending! DUNDUNDUN! CHASE IS PISSED! AHHH! What's he gonna do? What do you think he's gonna do? Hmmm? Tell me what ya think in a comment;) Please review! ^_^
