Most of the walk was silent, both of our hands plugged into our jackets. The light slowly faded and left us in the beginning of dusk. The click clack of our shoes making this silence unbearable. The wisps of my fishtail plait kept tickling my face in the wind. Then suddenly he popped a random question.

"What's your favorite cupcake flavor?"

Huh? Cupcakes, seriously. He just asked me about cupcakes?

I racked my head, not expecting this question at all. "Um... I like red velvet cupcakes". I replied blankly, still thinking everything that had been going on.

He didn't notice. "You do! Just like..." He trailed off once again into silence. Just like what, I wondered. Oh... Like Tina.

At once everything came back to me in a horrible wake up call; making me freeze in my tracks, the cold biting my face. My mouth went really dry. You know, I could make a run for it. My house was just a few meters away, I could quickly run in and avoid him again or... I could tell him... Thomas walked a couple more paces, saying something before realizing I had stopped walking. He hurriedly walked back.

"Julia?" I could sense the uneasiness in his voice.

I kept my eyes on the pavement, suddenly interested in my shoes. "What is going on? With you and her"? I coldly asked, arms folded; looking really pathetic and stubborn. I resembled a kid who hadn't got her pink unicorn.

"Who?" He was tilted his head slightly, still obviously confused.

"Tina." The word came out cold like poison on chilled ice, I could slowly feel the primal anger swell up within me. Julia... my conscience warned. Calm down, calm down. Inner peace. Find your inner peace(Kung fu panda inner peace).

Thomas frowned just slightly and said,"Julia I-"

Every negative feeling started ticking within me. "You know what? I am done being friends with you. " I quietly at him, my voice laced with poison calm. The calm before the storm. I was feeling darker and angrier very single second. Inner peace, keep that inner peace! Inner peace! He flinched slightly at my words. I began to walk away, but just like a month ago, he grabbed my wrist. Sadly though, this wasn't improv and we weren't acting. I winced under the cold touch.

"What are you talking about?" he defended," we are more than friends".

Inner pe- I lost it. I snapped. I whirled around, my hair flying everywhere with a swift motion I brought up my hand... And slapped him. I slapped him. I had never slapped or snapped, but that was because I have never loved someone as much as him. Hopefully I'd never feel the same dead feeling again, the sickening crack rippled through the vastly growing night. My hand stung, but my heart stung more. He recoiled and staggered back with a hand brought up to it as I had hit him. Okay, I mean obviously, I had hit him, but something else hurt him a lot more. I just was so... mad. And jealous. And Angry. And sad. But most of all I was heart broken.

But I was no where near done."Do you have any idea what I am going through right now?! Seeing you and Tina, all happy and smiling. Why do you avoid and hate me so much?! It is so rude and mean and stupid! If you want to end this you could just have told me!!"

"But Tina is-"

As I shrieked again, my voice got 10 octaves higher, as it normally when I had pure fury, but in a cold harsh way. "I get it! You found a better girl friend to spend your time with! But you had to go as low as avoiding me for 2 weeks!! What the hell! And do you know how much pain I went through seeing you two together! I thought we had a connection. I really did! The spaghetti and the painting... I thought you at least cared for me! BUT YOU JUST SHOVED IT ALL DOWN THE DRAIN LIKE IT WAS NOTHING! Like I meant... nothing to you!"

"But I-"

"If you want her you can have her! Just get away from me! Curse you! JUST- GET AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!"

Tears were slowly running down my faces in a constant river, my voice breaking hoarsely as I faced him my blue eyes shooting daggers into his. And all the while Thomas just stared at me. With something glistening in those eyes, tears glistening in those dim eyes. His hand was still held up to his cheek, his eyes wide with shock and hurt. Those long eyelashes were blinking rapidly. His mouth kept shaping my name repeatedly, he was actually whimpering.

Thomas seemed to cower beneath me, strange as he was half a head taller. "J-Julia", his voiced sounding broken as it cracked painfully,"P-please." His eyes glazed over with this begging look and he murmured something like: not again but I still delivered the final blow, fuming and my breath fast. I spat,"We are not friends. We never were and never ever will be."

Something died in those luminiscent eyes of his, something died in my feelings. I ran away into the quickening darkness, leaving him alone, knowing that there were now tears falling on his shirt. The adrenaline was slowly fading away and I faltered slightly, knowing that we could probably never go back to what it used to be. It would never feel the same. What on earth happened to your inner peace, Julia? As I slammed the door shut, my brain was really satisfied but my heart was heavy. I sensed him walk away. He walked away from my life, but unlike my dream, no one made a move to stop him. I could hear the crow crowing on the Pickett fence, with its evil smile still on its face. Curse the crow. And it stopped.

I probably killed you in this chapter. Tee hee, sorry. So what do you think. Please vote and give feedback! Thanks.
