The Broken Pieces novel Chapter 10

Why didn't he stay?

I could feel myself starting to break but I kept going.

"P-people who are this in love should stay that way. No matter, no matter w-what-" My voice cracked and tears finally came down.

I heard a loud gasp come out in the audience as I ran off the stage and away from the party.

My ears rung as I ran.

I didn't know where I was going, all I knew was that I had to get out of there.

Seeing him again made it hard to breathe. I've spent a long time getting over my feelings and learning to live again.

My short hair flew around me as I ran into the nearest building which seemed to be a gazebo.

I clasped onto the ground and weeped.

It was so unfair!

How could this happen to me?! I've done nothing, why must I be punished?!

Why must he show up when I was getting my life together?!

Why must he show up after everything he caused.

I almost had everything! Almost.

He tricked me that night into thinking that I had everything. He made me promise to stay his but he disappeared. Leaving me alone and worried, dying on the inside. I thought something happened to him, that he wanted to leave!

This is so unfair!

I don't want him back, I don't need him back!

My body shook violently as another wreak of emotions crashed into me.

"Polar Bear?" A familiar voice asked me.

"Go away Parker." I snapped at him.

God, why can't he just disappear!

"Okay I know I deserved that but Emmie, we need to talk." He tries to reason, but I don't want to hear him right now.

"No! No, we don't!"

"Emmie, just listen to me," he says placing him hand on my shoulder.

"Get off of me!" I shove his hand off my shoulder and stand up, facing him.

His lips are pulled into a worried frown. "Emmie, please." He reaches out towards me and I step back. Sadness overtakes his face.

He doesn't deserve to be sad!

"No! No!" I run my hair through my hair, yanking at it.

Nothing can be fixed when a hurricane like Parker runs through your life.

And I cried harder.

The smell of bacon made its way to my nose and I smiled.

I knew exactly where I was.

I lived in a small 2 bedroom house. Nice and modest is how I wanted it.

I was wearing my pink silk nightgown. I didn't know how this appeared on my body but I didn't care.

I slowly got out of bed and walked my way to the bathroom.

Well damn! I thought as I looked at my face in the mirror.

My face was red and puff and had tear stains on my cheeks.

Everything from yesterday flashed through my mind and I ignored it.

That was just a dream. Just a dream, Parker Bowmen is not back. It's just my imagination.

If it was real, I would've remembered coming home last night.

I began to wash my face, trying to forget everything that happened in the last twenty-four hours.

Once I started to begin to look like an actual human, I brushed my teeth and left the bathroom.
