Scars of Love
"You need to apologize to Jake for a second chance. Cassandra was the better choice to begin with anyway. I mean she's classy, gorgeous, richer. She's everything you're not."
Something within me broke but I just kept smiling.
"You're right."
She was shocked once, as if she didn't think I'd agree.
I dodged her, went up high, and closed my door before she could speak another sentence.
My room was quiet, the quiet which is comfortable, the one that resonates the instant when something fatal starts.
I shifted and stood before the mirror and looked.
Mascara smudged.
Lipstick wiped.
The girl in the mirror standing opposite me was a girl broken and recombined with the improper pieces.
