Love Song

Chapter 9: Our Breakup Song

Amy

The start of senior year. It surprised me that Peter and I had lasted for so long. We met and went out. I figured we’d break up right away. I didn’t think we’d make it to sophomore year. Now I was hoping that we’d last until we were eighty years old when we didn’t even remember our own first names.

And so far, Peter hadn’t done anything that his ex-girlfriend said he would do.

“I’m serious. Jordan was acting really weird.” Peter said as we walked home from school. He squeezed my hand with his right hand as he ran his fingers through his hair with his left hand.

“Probably just the normal Zakk issue. She was acting like that the whole summer.” I mumbled, wanting to change the subject.

“I suppose.” he sighed. For the next minute, all we heard was the light summer breeze rustling the leaves in the trees and the birds chirping.

“Oh Amy is it ok if we don’t hang out tonight? I don’t want to flunk my senior year so I want to do some studying tonight.” he asked.

“Sure. That’s responsible of you,” I said, smiling. He stopped and turned to face me. His arms wrapped around my waist and he gently pressed his lips to mine.

I felt sad when he pulled away and walked the opposite direction of me. I watched him go until he turned the corner, out of sight. I turned and walked down the sidewalk, kicking around loose twigs and leaves. Why did I always feel so sad when him and I parted ways? It felt like a lifetime before I saw him again even though I knew I would see him the next day. Even though I knew that we spent all day together all weekend. Why did I feel so lonely during those moments without him?

The realization that I had made me stop abruptly.

Was I in love with Peter?

My heart pounded and my world seemed to freeze.

I wasn’t the person who fell in love. That was Jordan or hell, maybe even Sam. But not me.

This feeling in my heart was giving me this pain. But it wasn’t a bad pain at all. Did that even make sense?

The next morning, as I searched for Peter around campus, I ran into the evil little witch, Audrey. When she noticed me, she gave me a subtle smirk.

“Hey Amy.” she greeted. “I heard you had a boyfriend.”

“Actually yes.” I mumbled, not meeting her evil brown eyes.

“Isn’t his name Peter?” she asked, pretending to not know.

“Yes.” I scoffed, backing away slowly. Of course she followed me.

“I’ve talked to him. He’s hilarious.” she said, smiling smugly.

“Hmm…I know.” I grumbled. I turned and stormed off, not wanting to let Audrey get to me. I wasn’t about to let her ruin my relationship with Peter. She’d done the same thing with Jordan and Zakk. Granted, Jordan and Zakk weren’t going out but Audrey was full aware that Jordan liked Zakk and she threw herself at him on purpose just to screw Jordan over.

I didn’t want to feel Jordan’s hurt. I wanted Peter to be strong like Zakk was and turning Audrey down.

I called and texted Peter after school, since even though he was at school, he‘d been avoiding me. He told me he was just stressed out and to not worry about it.

As I sat on my couch after school, I thought about Peter. Something was off about what he said. He was never usually stressed. That wasn’t his personality. He could be failing a class and he wouldn’t flip out like a normal person would.

I sprinted to my car and drove to Peter’s house, not really knowing what to expect.

My heart pounded hard against my chest and I could feel the shakiness in my breath. I lightly tapped on the door. I heard feet approaching the door. The door opened and there stood Peter’s mom.

“Um…hi…I was coming to see Peter…” I said, smiling slightly. His mom raised an eyebrow at me, then moved her body to the side, inviting me in.

“Sure. He’s upstairs,” she said quietly.

I walked slowly upstairs. The stairs seemed longer than usual and I didn’t know why.

My cold and clammy hand shook almost violently as I grabbed the silver doorknob to Peter’s bedroom. I turned it and pushed the door open gently.

“Peter?” I squeaked.

“Amy! Holy hell!” I heard him yell.

“What the…what the hell is this?!” I demanded.

Peter sat in the loveseat in his room with someone else. She sat so delicately on his lap and his arms were wrapped tightly around her waist.

“Who the hell are you?!” I screamed. The mystery girl turned her head to stare at me.

“Audrey.” I whispered. Peter pushed her off of him and led me into the hallway and shut the door.

“You’re such a…” I lost my train of thought. The mixture of sadness and pain and anger and hatred was putting me in a fog.

“Amy I know. I deserve everything I’m getting-”

“Shut up. Just SHUT UP!” I screamed. He stopped and looked down at his feet.

“You know, your ex-girlfriend came up to me when we first met. She told me this would happen. I was stupid to think she was wrong.” I said, breathing in deeply in an attempt to hold back tears.

He bit his lip and looked away from me.

“And you were with Audrey? OF ALL THE PEOPLE TO CHOOSE IN THIS WORLD YOU CHOSE HER?!” I shrieked, bringing attention I didn’t want from his parents.

“Amy I’m sorry I…” his voice trailed off.

“I can’t believe that I felt…” My voice trailed off as a lump formed in my throat.

“Felt what…?” he asked softly.

“I was starting to feel love for you. I had faith in us. In what we had.” I looked down at my feet, my tears dropping onto my shoes

“Amy…” he said, reaching out for me. I responded by slapping his hand away.

“Don’t touch me.” I whimpered, feeling vulnerable and weak.

“I can’t believe this. I fell for you. And you took it and ran with it!” I wiped my eyes and headed down the stairs.

“Amy can’t we talk about this?!” he asked.

“Forget it.”

“Amy please.” he pleaded.

“LEAVE ME ALONE!” I screamed, slamming the door. I walked towards my car, my legs feeling wiggly and unstable. I opened the car door and climbed in. I slammed the door and leaned my head back.

My head was killing me and I felt so empty. My heart felt broken. I jammed my key into the ignition, wiping the tears off of my face.

I never wanted to see that dirty little pig again. When I got home, I deleted his number from my phone, I deleted him from my friends on all of the social websites I went on. I ignored him at school, and didn’t accept any of the messages that anyone wanted to give me from him.
