“BOO!!” she tried to scare me behind the locker door. “Hey
babe…” I answered. She just gives me this smile. God… I melt every time I
see that smile. As you guys probably know now… I’m a sucker for a beautiful
smile. “Come and walk with me after school?” she asks me. “You know it…” I
leaned in for a kiss; she quickly turns her face away. “Not here Shane…” Every
time, every single ***** time we’re in public. She would tell me that we’re meant
for each other, that she loves me more than anything… you know that sort of
stuff. I was a fool then and I believe every single word that came out of her
mouth.

As we were walking to the park, just to hangout and that’s
when the only time I could smoke freely. “Hey… can I ask you something?” I
said. “Yeah babe… anything…”

“Why don’t you let me kiss you in public… or hold your
hands you know that kind of *****” I said while taking a drag of my cigarette. “Oh
baby… you don’t want other people to get jealous of us now… do we?”
“Hhmm… No…” I smile at her. It was going well between the two of us… and
I learned to not to kiss her in open spaces and such things.

Until one day I never heard of her ever again. No calls, no
hello, no nothing. One day I caught her having ***** with some random jock at the
back of the gym.

“Rachel…? What the *****?!!”

“Oh… *****… Shane? What the ***** you’re doing here?!”

“Does it *****’ matters?!!? Is this what you’ve been
doing??!”

“Do you know this *****?” The ***** interrupts.

“Shut the ***** up jackass!!”

 I couldn’t handle the
sight of the two of them, I stormed out of there. She got up and put some
clothes on.

“Shane… wait…” she said. At that point I swear I could
have hit her.

I turn around and face her.

“Don’t you ***** come near me…” Tears forming in my
eyes.

“Fine… did you actually think it was going to last
Shane???” Yes. Then she just gives me a pathetic smile and walk away. After
that I never step my foot in that school again.

Yeah… you all probably think its some weak high school
drama that happened to me. But I loved that girl more than everything in the
world. She kept me sane while I was having a fucked up time at foster homes. There’s
time when I thought this world doesn’t need me… but she gave me the reason to
live. She let me look at the bright side of life. And I thank her for
that.  She doesn’t know all this… I
guess I kind of don’t want her to.  My
heart was broken, shattered, crushed, trampled on… almost everything. And
it’s true… it takes time to heal a broken heart. Until now… Alice.
