Broken Hearts

Everything works out for a while at least. The cutest couple you ever saw. Until things happened. He wasn’t the person she thought he was anymore.

Things happened, confessions were made, and things just didn’t make sense anymore. He liked her and her, too. She just wanted things normal. We all agreed it was for the best.

A lunch period brought it forth. My role in the event was to do the dirty work. To actually break them up. I was too wrapped up in it all ready and I felt sorry for the kid. He shouldn’t be kept in the dark thinking they were just like the beginning.

He was with all his friends, trying to be something he’s not, when I came up. I asked, demanded, threatened even; but he wouldn’t come with me to talk. I told him I’d say it in front of all his friends. He didn’t listen. So I asked her if I could break his heart in front of everyone. She said it was necessary. So I went back. I did my job. His “friends” all laughed. He didn’t care.

I found out later he didn’t hear.
