THOMPSON'S POV
The night of the party.
I arrived at the party and immediately spotted John and so I walked over to where he was.
"Hey bro". I said as I have him a bro hug.
"What's up?" He said returning the hug. "How are things going on with Mary huh?"
"Great man, they couldn't go better to be honest with you". I said trying to hide the smile on my face.
"That's great, I'm happy for you man, but tonight it's just us alright? No more Mary talk". John said handing me over a red plastic cup with what I thought was Bacardi.
We spent the night laughing and joking around and John had brought a couple of girls with him, we were a little tipsy but I could see his intensions from a mile away.
"These are Raquelle and Rebecca. Girls say hi to my man Thompson". John said followed by a "hey" from both girls.
"One for you, one for me". My best friend said to my ear so only I could hear him.
"Nah bro, not really my type".
"Come on, if you're worried your precious little Mary will found out chill your tits, she won't".
I rolled my eyes and tried to ignore him but he wouldn't stop bothering me.
"Ok fine, hand me one of the girls". I said gesturing him to tell one of the girls to come to my side.
It's ok right? Nothing has to actually happen, I can ignore her for the rest of the night and everything was going to be just fine.
About and hour had passed since John had brought Tweedledee and Tweedledum over and I was staring to get sober from how bored I was.
Since John was so busy with Tweedledee I only told Tweedledum that I was going to get a drink, but like the clingy little girl she was she came with me. I visually rolled my eyes when she said she would come with me. I was going to kick John in the balls after tonight. I went to the kitchen where they kept all the drinks and grabbed myself a beer from a cooler which was on the floor and when I stood up straight a pair of lips crashed onto mine and kissed me roughly. Worst kiss of my life.
I pulled away as soon as I realized what was happening and when I turned around to escape this woman I was immediately paralyzed with fear because there she was, the one person whom I loved more than Rosie, the only woman that had ever stolen my heart looking heart broken. I had never seen her with so much fear in her eyes before.
How could she not, I had just told her that I loved her and now she saw me kissing another woman.
It took me a few seconds to come back to reality and started to chase her. I ran after her screaming her name.
"Mary wait". I screamed from the top of my lungs and ran as fast as I could, and then fanfuckingtastic rain fuck me.
"Mary wait please". I finally caught up to her and grabbed her arm but she shrugged it off and kept walking.
I accelerated my step so I could stand in front of her.
"Baby please listen to me". I said grabbing her arms. She tried to shrug me off but I gripped her slightly harder so she wouldn't be able to get away.
"Don't...don't call me that. Not after you were with that woman". She said closing her eyes briefly letting the tears flow breaking my heart into million of pieces.
"Mary please...it wasn't what it looked like.
"Oh but it never does". Mary said as she stopped to fight against my grasp.
"Let me guess, it was a mistake? I'm the only woman you love? You want me to please forgive you because you don't know what you would do without me?" The love of my life looked me dead in the eyes.
"Trust me Thompson, I know all of those excuses by heart. It's ok you know, kind of...I was expecting some kind of bullshit sooner or later. I was just not expecting for you to "confess" you supposedly "love me"". She left me too stunned to speak, because in that moment I realized how I had fucked up the best relationship of my life because I listened to my so called friend.
"I'm so stupid. I don't know why I even fell into your trap. And to believe I actually love you. Just don't try to call me anymore ok?" I finally loosened my grip and I just stood there watching the love of my life, my Mary the light of my life walk home. I tried to call her name a couple of times, even tried to run after her but I realized that it wouldn't work because the damage was done and I had committed the worst mistake of my life and this was the consequence that it had lead to.
I went back to the party angrier than I had ever been in my life with one thing in mind. To kill John.
I entered the house and went straight forward to John who was making out with some girl, I grabbed his shoulders and pulled him off from the girl and started to punch him everywhere.
"YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE. YOU MADE ME LOOSE THE THING I LOVED THE MOST". I kept punching him until eventually somebody pulled me off of him.
"You're better without that whore anyway". The son of a bitch laughed.
"YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HER I LOVE HER AND YOU FUCKED IT ALL UP". I shrugged off the hands that were holding me and went to my car. Once there I headed straight home.
------------------------
The next morning I woke up with a killing headache and a bottle of vodka in my hand, surrounded by glass all over my room and I checked my phone to see if Mary had replied me yet.
Nothing.
I stood up and went to get something for my head and once I felt better I called her again but just as I thought it was going to go to voicemail a groggy "hello" sounded from the other side.
"Mary...Mary hi thank god". I said, rushed up to tell her what had actually happened.
But just as I was going to start to explain her everything and to tell her how much I love her she interrupted me.
"I don't want to talk to you". And she hung up.
I tried to call her a thousand times more left millions of messages until the calls wouldn't go through anymore the messages didn't arrive.
She blocked me. No, she wouldn't right? Oh but she did. Tears formed in my eyes as the thought of loosing her forever crossed my mind.
No, it won't happen, I can't loose her she and Rose are the only good thing in my life and I can't loose her.
Oh god, what was I going to tell Rose.
I had to get her back, I can't loose her. She's my everything. I had to talk to her Monday in person since she won't return my calls.
------------------------
I arrived at school earlier than usual because I couldn't sleep so I got ready earlier which gave me time to think how I was going to handle the situation with Mary.
I sat at my usual spot praying that she would too. She crossed the door with the saddest look on her face but she went on a different direction towards another seat that was far away from me. I stood up and tried to go over to her to talk but the teacher had just arrived and she told me to get back to my seat.
Bitch. But it didn't matter because I was going to talk to her no matter what.
At lunch break I had a visit, one of my angel's best friend, Mia.
"Hi Sean". She said looking very calm.
"Hey Mia". I replied. To be honest she was scaring me a little, she was Mary's best friend after all.
"Listen you hurt Mary like you have no idea, so listen to me very carefully, you are dead, you have no idea about the treasure you just lost and for that now I'm going to make sure you suffer ten times worst that you made her suffer you understand?" Mia looked at me dead in the eye.
"Yes". I said a little scared.
"Good". And with that she left
As I said, you hurt Mary you will be killed by Miazilla. I love how her friends love her so much.
Oh Mia, trust me, I know what I lost.
The rest of the day went by painfully slow but it had finally ended. I was waiting for my dad to arrive since today we were going to be told about my progress when I saw Mary walk by and I went after her to try to talk to her about what had happened.
"Mary wait" I said running after her
I tapped her shoulder but she ignored me
"Mary please let me explain". I said breathless stepping in front of her.
She tried to walk past me but I didn't let her and out of nowhere she started to speak Spanish. I knew this was her way to try to get away without listening anyone or anything.
"Ay perdón que pena no hablo inglés. No te entiendo". Said my Angel sounding so perfect like she always did in all the languages she spoke. But that didn't stop me from trying to explain to her. Even after she had spoken all the languages she knew, I wasn't going to give up because I love her.
"Please let me explain". I said. Mary fetched her headphones out of her backpack and angrily said "I told you in Spanish, in English, and in French even I don't want to listen to you ok? Just leave me alone". She said, tears in her eyes putting the headphones on and finally walking past me making her way to the hospital.
I didn't try to go after her because I didn't want to be the reason she cried. Even though I knew I had been for the past few days. I noticed because of the puffiness in her eyes.
My dad had soon arrived and we were in the principals office in no time.
"So Mr.Thompson, I have good news about your son". Said the Principal Ms. Gomez handing over my report card to my dad.
"You can see that he has been putting effort into his classes and those tutoring sessions have really come in handy for him.
My dad hummed in contentment and looked over to the principal.
"Thank you Principal Gomez". And with that he stood up and left.
"Sean?". Called Ms. Gomez as I was getting out of my chair. "You're a good kid, I'm glad you're staying in our school". She said with a smile.
"Thank you Ms. Gomez". I said turning to leave.
"Oh and Sean?"
"Yes?" I turned to look at her.
"Please solve your issues with Mary, I don't like to see my favorite couple like this". She had a disheveled smile on her face.
"Oh I will don't worry Ms. Gomez".. I said as I left her office.
Back home my dad was for once in his life happy for me.
"Son, when you see that girl Mary thank her for me, I don't know how, but she transformed you into a new man". He placed his hand on my shoulder and then announced he was going back to work.
I was so happy that this was the result. If only I could thank the one person that made all of this possible. My Angel, My savior, My Mary. Oh how I missed her.
Rose came and asked why she wasn't here, so I told her the story but the kids version without some details.
"Wait? You broke my best friends heart?" She said looking disappointed at me.
"I-I, yes, but I'll fix it I promise". I said trying to keep Rose calm.
"You better because if you don't, you know what awaits for you. Fix it so that I can hang out with my best friend again". She pointed her cute little finger at me. "You have been warned". Rose said as she went to her room to play.
If I was scared of Mia, I was ten thousand times more scared of that little rascal. She was very scary when you didn't do something her way and her threats were the real deal.
That night I couldn't sleep, I was tossing and turning just thinking of how much I loved my Angel, of how much I loved her smile and her laugh and her beautiful eyes and her kindness. She was so kind with everyone.
She was an Angel sent from heaven. She was so amazing and wonderful, I don't know how I could live without her, most importantly how I lived bullying her for so long.
Now I realized why she said what she said.
I don't know why I even fell into your trap.
Now I get why she said it, she said it because she thought I was playing with her feelings because of our past. I'm such a dick.
I turned on my phone to check the time and there she was on my background picture. My everything taken away from me by a misunderstanding.
I lied there looking through pictures of her, pictures of us.
The ones from the Sunflower field. She looked so happy that day. I felt a tear run down my cheek at the thought of loosing her for ever. I had to do something, I can't live without her.
At least not anymore.
I lied on my back as I though how did I ever lived without her in my life.
------------------------
I put my mind into thinking a plan to get her back, I had to. I was on my way to the market to get her favorite flowers.
I had already written her a poem and now I just had to think of when would it be a perfect moment and place for me to go and tell her everything.
I arrived to the first store which was the flower shop and bought her a bouquet of sunflowers and tulips with a little bit of daisies.
I went home and put the flowers in water and changed my clothes to go for a run. While I was running I thought that I could maybe try to meet her at the park because each day she goes to the park. Sometimes to meditate, sometimes to just relax or to do yoga or read. That's something she told me.
Yes! That's it, I'll meet her at the park on her usual visit. It was settled then.
I was going to get my girl back.
