What's So Good About Picking Up The Pieces? (Discontinued)

I jumped awake, but immediately regretted it as it felt as though drums were being beaten to death inside my head.

"Fuuuuuuuck" I groaned, sitting up and scanning my surroundings.

Why the fuck am I on a bench?!

I Looked around clueless, until the events of last night came rushing back to me like a tidal wave, leaving tears pricking at my eyes.

Am i not good enough for him? Am I too much to handle? Am I too clingy? Do I not appreciate him enough? Am I too fat?

The thoughts swirled around my head and i was only pried from my thoughts when my phone began to vibrate.

With a sigh I pulled my phone from my pocket. It was my alarm, to get me up for school.

How is it only 06:30?

With a groan I pulled my self up and off of the bench.

I Quickly patted all my pockets, which were 5, 4 in my jeans, 1 in my shirt, and found that in my back pocket I amazingly had earphones, the color of red.

I Walked around for a while until I spotted a Road sign, and then I knew how to get to the school building, It was about a 55 minute walk away.

Putting on some music, I slipped the phone back into my pocket and began on my long walk.



Once I finally make it to school, I wipe under my eyes, as i know there are tears building in them at the thought of seeing Mike, and rushed past where his car usually is.

Even though he probably won't be here, I'm just being cautious..


After school


My sister drove in my car to school, so we drove home together and Lidia explained that Mom and that guy, Danny I think his name is, seem to be really good together but I just zoned out for the most part, not really wanting to hear about her new 'boyfriend'. I mean, Dad only left 4 years ago!
Granted, it may sound like a while, but I still wasn't ready for this..

"Tone. Tony!" Lidia snapped her fingers in my face, effectively snapping me from my thoughts.

"What?" I snapped.

"We're here." She said quietly.

"I'm sorry Lidia"

"Mmhmm."

Knowing i wasn't going to get through to her for a while, I left it and climbed out of the car, offering her an apologetic smile.

Once I was about half way up the small path leading to the front door, said door swung open to reveal my mother standing there.

"Tony! I was so worried! Are you okay? Where were you?" She fired loads of questions of me at once, running towards me in the process.

"I'm fine, Mom." I kept my gaze fixed on the dirty path beneath my feet.

"Okay.. Well, I made your favorite for dinner." She smiled.

"I'm not hungry, but thank you." I smiled.

Both my mom and sister gave me a questioning look.

"I had a big brekfast and lunch." I shrugged, when infact I hadn't eaten at all today, but if i get skinnier, maybe Mike will like me.

"Okay, well lets go inside now, Tony, please will you give Danny a chance?" My mother all but begged. "Also, Mike came around earlier." She directed the second part more at Lidia.

I had completely forgotten Mom still has no idea that Lidia and Mike had broken up.

Lidia nodded and we all went inside, I being last inside shut the door, I guess mentally preparing myself, before walking into the living room where Mom and Danny sat.

Mom got up when I walked into the room.

"Tony, this is Danny, and Danny, This is my son, Tony." Danny stuck out his hand and I timidly stretched my own arm out.

"Nice to meet you." He had a slight accent, a British one I believe.

"You too. Sorry about yesterday, by the way." I apologised, feeling guilty after I saw the way him and my mother gazed at each other.

"No worries. We all have off days." He seemed nice, I guess.


"Mom, I smell burning!" Lidia called from upstairs, thankfully interrupting the awkward chat myself and Danny were in the middle of.

"Oh goodness!" My mother cried, running into the kitchen, no doubt to sort the food, leaving Danny and I in an awkward silence.


Thankfully a few moments later the doorbell went.

"Tony, get the door!" Mom yelled from the kitchen.

Instead of replying I just awkwardly shuffled out of the living room and opened the door.

I pulled the door open with an agitated sigh and there stood the person I really didn't want to see but at the same time, I guess I really did.

Micheal Fuentes.
