Shattered In Pieces

"...Why?"

"You're being an asshole!" she exclaimed.

"I'm sorry... I was just worried!"

"Well don’t worry anymore."

I slowly sat on the floor, frowning. "Sorry..."

"It's...whatever, Jimmy."

"No... I'm sorry... you guys are my friends...I'm sorry...."

"It's really whatever, Jimmy."

"Don’t be like that..."

"You broke up with my best friend who loves you!" Ash exclaimed.

"I was sick of her games!"

"And she was sick of yours!"

"How am I playing games?!"

"I don’t know, ask her!"

"Ashley, you're her best friend, you would know!"

"She won't tell me! She says never mind!"

"God fucking damn it." I hissed.

"Just forget about her. That's what she's attempting with you."

"...She's trying to forget me?"

"Yes."

"W-why...?" Owch...

"She hates you. you broke her heart!"

"She fucking broke mine! All she wanted was sex! Now I understand, but..."

"That's not all she wanted! That's all you saw, Jimmy!!!"

"That's all she showed me, Ash!"

"Open your eyes, Jimmy! Think about it!"

"Ashley, she never told me about her family!"

"Not even knowing that! What comes with sex? Cuddling, being close, and even before that, the trust that you will always be hers!"

"She wanted it at the most random times! I wanted it to be special! Something she would remember! Just like You wanted it to be special!"

"I'm not arguing with you about this!" she growled.

"You're mad at me because I'm right!"

"No! You don’t get it! You used to love her for who she was!"

"I still do but she's trying to force me into sex!"

"No she's not! She would have raped you if she really wanted it!"

"She's not strong enough to do that!" I Snapped.

"Jimmy! This is why I'm not arguing with you. because you don’t know! She could drug you for Christ's sake!"

"She wouldn’t do it if she really loved me!"

"Okay then! Doesn’t that show you? She really cares about you! And you broke her heart! All you needed to do was ask.

"I did ask! Many times! She didn’t tell me." I sighed.

"I already told you I'm not arguing with you, Jimmy. I'm sorry."

"I-I'm not arguing..."

"Yes you are you aren't listening to me..."

"You know what? I'm just going to get home..." I sighed, standing up and heading for the door.

It had been a week since I had even seen Jill, even at school. I didn't care either. Maybe she wasn’t even there, but who cares. I don’t. I'm glad she's gone. I walked into school, looking around to find Matt, maybe shoot some hoops before school started. I gasped when I saw her, biting my lip. Then I glared at no one in particular (Honestly, probably myself) and stormed the other way to my locker.

"Jimmy...?" her soft voice met my ear, making me mad. I didn’t answer her. She was quiet for a minute, "l....Jimmy?" she asked again. I turned to glare at her.

"What." It was more a statement than a question.

"I'm sorr-"

"I don’t want to hear it." I growled. "I don’t care." She lowered her head shamefully, turning and walking away.

"What kind of monster are you?" Ashley hissed as she walked by. I growled at her, but watched as Jill wiped her eyes before turning the corner. I slammed my locker shut before running after her. She jumped as I turned her around and pressed my lips to hers in a heated kiss.
