Endless Pain: Chapter One

Selena slowly walked down her street. The fall air was crisp on her cheeks and red leaves scattered themselves across the yards and streets of her neighborhood. But she didn’t notice. She was too deep into thought; wondering if he’ll ever come back. Her pace slowed as she thought harder. She soon came to a thought and stopped.

“He’s not coming back!” She yelled. Selena ripped down the street; tears coming down her cheek as fast as she was running. Everything that had been building up inside just came out. She through the door open and ran up the stairs to her room and closed the door behind her. She gasped large breathes in and out. The tears slowed and she pick up her cell phone and dialed Demi’s number.

“D-demi. Can you… come over?” She said, sobbing now and then.

“Selena! What’s wrong?” Demi asked.

“I’ll tell you later. C-can you just come?”

“I’ll be there as soon as I can!”

Selena set the phone on the nightstand. Minutes later she heard the a knock on her door. She stood up and slowly opened the door; only wide enough to peep through.

“Hello?” she whispered.

“Selena,” Demi said in a comforting voice. “It’s me.”

Selena opened the door gradually and only wide enough for Demi to barely come through.

“It’s David, isn’t it?”

She nodded slowly and swallowed a sob. Demi hugged her and said, “It’s okay.”

Selena tore out of Demi’s arms. “No it’s not!” She said, her voice bubbling with anger.

“Calm down. He promised. Remember?”

“If he did, he’d be back by now!” A tear rolled down her cheek.

“Selena-“

“No!” Selena shouted. Her voice sounded shrill. “He’s not coming back, and I know it!” She sank down to the floor, hugged her knees and cried. Demi didn’t leave. She sat right by her side. And after what seem like hours (It was actually thirty minutes) Selena looked up. Her eyes were red and her cheek was still wet from all her tears.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

Demi nodded and hugged her again. This time Selena hugged back. After some time, Demi let go and said, “I have to go, but I’ll be back tomorrow. Okay?”

“Yes.”

“Bye.” Demi got up and walked out of the room, quietly closing the door behind her. She thought how Selena would handle the anniversary of when the met. “It won’t be pretty,” she thought.

---------------------

Two years ago, Selena’s boyfriend, David, moved away but promised to come back. Selena waited and waited. This was the first time she had cracked. But she missed him dearly. She never wanted him to leave. They were perfect.

---------------------

Selena looked around the room. Her eyes soon drifted to her dresser. On top was a framed photograph of her and David two years ago, just before he left. She stood up and walk over to the dresser and pick the picture up.

“Why?” she whispered. “Why did you leave? Why did you go? If you loved me-“ Her voice broke off. She could not finish her sentence. She couldn’t say it.

Just then, her mother knocked on the door. Selena set the picture down and walked over and lay her forehead on the door. “Who is it?”

“Selena,” mom said in her sweet voice. “Dinner’s ready. Are you coming?”

“I’m not hungry.” She said sharply.

“Honey, is something wrong?”

“No. I’d rather not talk about it.”

“Okay.”

Selena changed into her pajama’s and went to bed. All night she tossed and turned. She didn’t get an ounce of sleep. She had a dream were David was killed. It was too much for her to handle. She sat up in bed and gasped. She tried to tell herself it was just a dream, but it felt so real. “It was real.” Selena didn’t dare go back to sleep. Instead, she got up and dressed. She walked down stairs to have breakfast, at five in the morning. Selena “cooked” herself some cereal and had breakfast. Mom stumbled down the stairs and let out a small yelp when she saw Selena.

“Good morning, sweetie.” She said walk over to her daughter and gave her hug. Selena just nodded.

“Honey,” mom said. “You have to tell me what’s wrong.”

“It’s…” Selena hesitated, then all came out. “It’s David. He’s not coming back! It’s been two years!”

“But he pro-“

“If he did he would have been back by now!” Selena got out of her chair and ran up the stairs to her room, slamming the door behind her. She cried. Her cheeks were soaked and her eyes swollen. Her mom knock on the door.

“Sweetie,” she said. “We need to talk. Demi told me last night before she left. There’s a problem and I need to know.”
