High school for the arts

"I'm not mad at him, I'm just frustrated that my boyfriend has been going through this for weeks?! And I've just been acting like everything is okay. I could have been there for him through this all, but I wasn't," I tell him. "And you weren't the only ones."

"How many other people know? He is really pretty embarrassed about it. He did not want everyone knowing. He has been trying to call them and they don't answer. He is not even sure where they are right now. It is a pretty touchy subject for him. But he has been down for a while because of it. He does everything he can to not get in the way of our family stuff so he spends a lot of his time in my guest room." Derik said to her.

"I don't know. All I know is I had to find out that my boyfriend wasn't living at his house anymore from the girl who has hated me since the beginning." I let out a sigh, realizing I was almost yelling at a complete stranger. I've never even spoken this loudly to Eric. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find Eric."

Derik looked at her. "Okay but please take it easy on him. I can't handle him being even more broken than he already is." He said to her and left.

Eric had called his mom again with no luck. He sighed and went to his locker and opened it and looked inside before getting his things out.

I nod before starting my search for Eric. I needed to do what I should have done when my mom was mad, I was going to break up with him. He needed his parents, and he should go back home. He shouldn't throw away his relationship with his parents just for some girl. It was going to hurt, but I had to do it. Taking in a deep breath, I wipe away any emotion I had on my face, and walk up to Eric. And action. "Eric, we need to talk," I tell him.

Eric looked at her confused. "Okay...but first. I wrote a new song for us. Another duet. Finally finished it. Not an easy task though. I had to really think about how all the parts would fit together. It is perfect now though. Now what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked and wrapped his arms around her. He was smiling his same cute smile he had always had.

My breath hitches as he looked at me with his adorable smile and cute eyes. He wrapped his arms around me and he wrote us a song. I had to stay strong. I unwrap his arms from me and step away, saying to him, "that's great... but I can't do this. I don't like you anymore, Eric, and I think it'd be best for us to break up." I could feel my heart breaking and hear his too.

Eric was confused when she unwrapped his arms from her. Eric frowned and looked at her. "W-what? Why? What did I do?..." He said close to tears. "Fine I get it but just know I have given up a lot to be with you and I was okay giving up every bit of it." Eric said. "If this is what you want, then fine. I will see you." He said and shut his locker after grabbing some sheet music out. He walked away feeling even more broken than before. He tossed it in the trash and walked towards his next class.

"Eric, it's nothing you did wrong, it's me," I try to tell him, but he's already walking away. As soon as he gone, I let it out, the tears rolling down my cheeks. I loved him, I still love him, but now he thinks I hate him. I go over the the trash where he threw out the sheet music, grabbing it from the garbage. Maybe he could sing the duet with some other girl, one that his parents approved.

The song was about how he would give up anything for her and give her the moon if he could. He did not pay attention to anything anyone said. They were all worried about him. He did not want their pity so he said nothing.
