MNL-Chapter 1

I feel bad for Aubrey D:

Chapter 1

            “Hey Aubrey, what’s up,” my best friend, Nicole, shouted as soon as she saw me. Nicole has always been very loud and outgoing. I am the complete opposite of her. I am really shy around other people and a bookworm. Nicole and I honestly live in completely different worlds. Nicole was a cheerleader. I was in the literature club. People always asked us how we got along since we were complete opposites.

            “I’m just getting ready for class, Nicole. Like you should be,” I responded. I really wasn’t in the mood for this today. I was still very upset because of my break up with Jonathan.

            “Why do you still seem so down? It’s been a week now, Aubrey; I think it’s about time you get over him,” Nicole said. I could feel myself starting to get irradiated. I really can’t believe my best friend just said that to me. Nicole didn’t really understand what I was going through at this very moment. She was still dating the man of her dreams and I had just lost mine. How could she possibly understand something like that? I was still in love with Jonathon…she knew that. I really wish that she didn’t have to be so insensitive right now.

            “You really don’t understand what I’m going through right now, Nikki! Jonathan and I had been dating since the beginning of eighth grade! Next week was supposed to be our fifth year anniversary! Do you really think I can get over him so quickly,” I screamed at her. Nikki looked at me with hurt and shock on her face. I looked down at the ground. I have never yelled at her like that before.

            “I’m sorry; I guess I just don’t get it. I’ll see you later, Aubrey,” Nicole said and walked away as fast as possible. I sighed. Today was going to be a very long day. All of my friends really have been on edge with me as of lately. I have been in a crappy mood and have been taking it out on them. I feel really horrible for doing so. It’s none of their faults. I am still just hurting and writing hasn’t been helping me lately. I am pretty surprised that it hasn’t.

            Before Nicole went around the corner; I stopped her because I felt bad for hurting her. “I’m sorry, Nikki, I have just been an emotional wreck. I just wish that I could talk to Jonathon. He’s been ignoring me since we broke up. I don’t like how he’s treating me. When he does respond it’s normally in a nasty way. While we were dating I have never done anything to hurt him. Why is he treating me like this?”

            Nicole didn’t answer for a couple of seconds. Nicole was never really great at these kinds of things. She normally comes to me when she is having trouble with her boyfriend, Nicholas. Nicholas can treat Nicole like crap. It ticks me off when she tells me he’s treating her like crap again. I try to tell Nicole to leave him if he isn’t treating her like he should, but she doesn’t want to. I know it’s because she loves him with her whole heart and soul. I can tell her loves her back just as much. That just reminds me of how Jonathan and I used to be.

            “It’s alright, Aubrey, I know you are going through a hard time. What I said to you was really insensitive. I apologize as well. He might be having a mental breakdown and he doesn’t want to hurt you. He knows how easily you get hurt. I mean you can get overly emotional. I am starting to wonder if he got tired of that side of you. I know I am…I just want you to be back to normal, Aubrey,” she responded. She was right that I was emotional. I was only emotional because my brother recently committed suicide…

            “Yes, I know I’m emotional, but my brother just died, Nikki. I guess you both forgot about that. It’s only been two months since I lost my brother,” I responded. After that I looked at the clock and noticed that the bell was going to ring at any minute. We had five minutes to get to class.

            “I’ll see you later, Aubrey,” she responded with tears in her eyes. It was because I mentioned my brother. She missed him too…but not as much as I miss him…

            When I walked around the corner the image I saw made me stop dead in my tracks. Jonathan was kissing another girl on the lips. I could feel my heart starting to rip into tiny pieces. Tears were starting to well up in my eyes. I was trying to hold them back. Jonathan noticed me because he pulled away from her quickly. She pouted when he stopped kissing her. I never felt so betrayed in my life. Jonathan told me that he would get back together with me…I guess that was just a bunch of lies…

            The girl had long blonde hair, green eyes, and she was smirking at me. The girl’s name is Michelle and she’s the cheerleading captain. Michelle was the most stuck up person that I have ever met in my life. I really questioned what Jonathan saw in her. No one in the school liked her.

            “Oh hey, Bre, how are you,” Jonathan asked me as casually as possible. The tears I was trying to hold back started to stream down my face. How could he ask me something so casually like that? I felt like she was the reason that he broke up with me. After five years…this is how he repays me after all we’ve been through? I could feel my heart breaking even more because I thought he loved me.

            “How do you think I feel,” I shouted at him. He seemed a little taken aback. I have never yelled at him before either. Yes, we did get into arguments, but I never raised my voice. Half the time he would be the one yelling.

            “I’m sorry…” he responded.

            “Sorry, isn’t going to cut it! You promised me that we were going to get back together! Or did you forget?  You were falling out of love with me and that’s why you’re doing this to me,” I responded crying harder. Michelle gave me a wicked smile this time. That smile made me want to punch her really hard in the face. I really wanted to do it, but I stopped myself.

            “I didn’t forget about that, Bre. You’re right; I was falling out of love with you. I was just tired of everything. You were so stressed out about your brother’s death. You were crying all of the time. I honestly just didn’t want to deal with it. By the way, I was cheating on you for the last couple of months. I was just really over our whole relationship. I know we were together for five years, but I was tired of you. It’s not because you aren’t beautiful. You are beautiful and I did love you with my whole heart. Dating the same girl for a long time gets boring after a while. I didn’t want to hurt you, but Michelle is better person than you. She makes me happy and laugh. You never made me happy when we were together…I was miserable. I was just using you to get to Michelle anyways. Well not in the beginning because I actually cared about you. I’m sorry, Bre, I truly am,” Jonathan responded.

            I felt numb after hearing everything he just admitted to me. I just can’t believe that he cheated on me. I could feel my knees starting to shake under me. I really had a strong urge to run away to cry. I was going to run, but Michelle decided to open her big fat mouth.

            “You know what, Aubrey; you aren’t as pretty as you think you are. Your personality is lacking as well.  You should give up on Jon now. He’s mine now and you just need to get over him,” she responded while winking at me. I could feel anger seeping into me. I walked closer to her and punched her with all the strength I could muster. Her nose started to bleed instantly. She was crying as well. Jonathan was really shocked. It’s been a while since I’ve actually hit someone. The last person I hit was my brother when he pinned me down.

            “This is why you have no friends. No one likes you, Michelle. You have an ugly personality,” I responded then I turned to Jonathan. “Jonathan, I wish you the best of luck with this tramp.”

            I ran away as soon as I could and crying even harder than before. I ran into the girl’s bathroom. There were some other girls in there. I locked myself into the bathroom stall. I cried my eyes out. I knew I was going to miss the first period of the day. How could I go when I felt like crap?

Nice chapter. :)
I like how the story is going but, you should put more details in the chapter, like what the character looks like. Also, add a few details on the scenery and I think it will get better.
Nice job.

Loved it! I know Jonathan's type. I have dated a few girls like him. HE SHALL BURN IN THE EVERPAINFUL FLAMING PITS OF HELL. Michelle too :D This was a long chapter! I struggled to get through it, but it was very interesting. It had a few parts that were a bit awkward in the speaking sense, but it was a very good chapter! I can't wait to read more.
