It had just been one of those days. You know the kind that seems to never end with loads of bitchy teachers, annoying students, a mother who wont shut up and a twin sister that thinks you're a complete freak. And now on top of all that, my boyfriend of a year and a half broke up with me via telephone. Retarded and immature? Yeah, I'd say so. Sure it was long distance and everything but we had made it work for so long and everything just seemed to be so.. perfect. He said he just couldn't handle it anymore, it was too rough for him. Although he made it a point to say the feelings weren't gone, I had trouble believing that. He'd done this to me before, twice already and this was back in freshman year when we met and went to the same school.
I sighed heavily and tried to wipe away some tears from my eyes. So here I was a friday night sitting on the living room couch with a big bowl of double fudge brownie icecream and eating my heart out. While of course watching sappy love movies. Every bad breakup a girl has she is intilted to one night of junk food, sappy love movies and crying to your hearts content. And that is exactly what I was doing, until my cell phone rang that is.
“Hello?” I said trying to sound as happy and chirpy as I usually was.
“Oh Angie, what's wrong?” I must have not been too convincing, but then again this was Bethany my best friend since middle school. She knew me better then I did.
“He.. he... broke up with me.” I mumbled through sobs as I started crying yet again for the millionth time today.
“Aww sweetie don't cry, he's not worth it. Want me to come over?”
“Yes,” I mumbled again nodding my head not remembering she was on the phone and not right next to me.
“Ok, I'll be right over.” And with that I hung up the phone, resting my head in my hands, my dark brown hair falling into my face. I took a couple deep breathes and just sat there for a while until I heard the door open and close in the kitchen. I lifted my head up only to find that my sister Andrea was home with her new 'boy-toy'. She had a new one practically every day. Okay that was an exaggeration but still she went through boys like it was her job.
Andrea shot me a dirty look and just grabbed her 'boy-toys' hand and started walking away. Her long blonde 'perfect' hair was straightened beyond belief but still managed to look amazing. She wore a jean mini-skirt and a light pink polo. Donned with lots of diamond jewerly and you get my sister. We may have been indentical look wise, save for my brown hair to her blonde, but we had completely different views on life. It wasn't always this way though. Just recently since highschool when she became 'queen bee'. Me on the other hand I had gone into the category of 'geek' and my sister little miss popular was ashamed of me.
I watched her retreating back head towards the stairs up to her room, just as Bethany walked into the living room. She glanced over at the stairs and raised an eyebrow.
“New boy already?” she said running her fingers through her long dirty blonde hair. She looked back at me smiling sweetly, her light blue eyes almost looked gray today. “Yeah, guess so.” I said trailing off as Bethany sat down next to me on the couch wrapping her arms around my shoulders. She laid her head on my shoulder and I leaned mine down on hers.
“So what movie first?” Bethany never really asked for details, she always waited until I was ready to explain things. But most of the time she knew them already and just didn't bother asking me.
“Sleepless In Seattle.” I replied sighing heavily. I sat up straighter now and reached for the pint of icecream in front of me. Bethany laughed as she got the DVD player working and the movie started. She came over and sat down next to me.
“Don't think about it so much Ang, it'll only make it worse.” again she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and rubbed my back.
“But he told me he loved me.” I looked down at the floor ashamed that I had even said it back to him and meant it. I had believed him, what a stupid thing to do.
