A War in My Head

She Lives in a Fairytale

I looked at Tony, unsure how to deal with the whole situation. “What’s wrong?” He asked for the third time. My mouth couldn’t form any words.

“Did you know about the bet?” I asked, my heart breaking when the question left my lips. His face turned from worried to sad.

“I did” He mumbeld. I let out a shaky breath and wiped the newly formed tears away from my eyes.

“Okay then bye Tony” I told him and then turned to leave.

“Please don’t go, tell me what happened” He walked in front of me, stopping me from leaving his bedroom. I looked up at him with so much sadness.

“Mike told me everything in his drunken state. Were you in on it all?” I asked him. He shook his head quickly. “Then explain it to me because I couldn’t listen to Vic’s terrible excuses” I sighed looking away. Tony took me over to his bed and sat me down.

“What happened was...”

FLASHBACK - Tony’s P.O.V

“Does anyone know what that girls name is?” Vic asked us all. Everyone just kinda shrugged.

“Her name’s Lynn, she’s in my music class” I explained. They nodded in understanding.

“She’s in my History class but I never caught her name” Vic shrugged.

“In my Spanish class too” Jaime told us.

“I’ve never spoken to her though” I told them.

“She’s best friends with Taylor Owens” Harley piped up. I looked over at Lynn, she sat alone on the bleachers and wrote in a journal.

“She looks so out of place” Jaime sighed.

“She’s super popular though” Harley shrugged.

“Then how come none of us knew her name?” Vic laughed.

“We don’t know anyone’s name in this school” Mike pointed out.

“Why is she friends with Taylor though” Vic asked curiously.

“Maybe she has some head injuries?” Mike suggested.

“Whatever it is, she doesn’t belong there” Vic looked over at her again. “Hey Mike, wanna make a bet?” Vic turned his head to his little brother with a sly look on his face.

“What kinda bet?” Mike raised an eyebrow.

“Twenty five bucks says I can get that girl to ruin Taylor Owens life and make her fall in love with me” Vic said smugly. It angers me that he thinks it’s okay to make bets like that on someone.

“Alright then deal, you’ve got until prom” Mike nodded, holding his hand out. They shook on it and went back to lunch as normal.

END OF FLASHBACK

Lynn’s P.O.V

“Other than that day Vic only mentioned the bet one other time. After you two began dating he made a joke about how he’d already won but that was it” Tony explained the whole situation for me. “Not that it’s okay but I think after awhile it wasn’t about the bet anymore. He really did want you and he still does I’m sure” Tony was being so nice to me.

I wiped away the tears, unsure of how I felt at this moment in time. “I’m so confused” I sobbed. Tony kneeled down in front of me.

“Lynn, I know it hurts but it’ll get better I swear” He mumbled, wiping away the tears from my eyes.

I looked at his face, staring into his eyes as he wiped my tears. The look on his face pained me. “Did you mean what you said the other night?” I asked softly. He looked up into my eyes, unsure of what to say so he said nothing. Just a small nod. My mind told me not to do anything but I didn’t listen. I leaned forward and kissed Tony, quickly.

He frowned at my actions, making me feel bad for it. “Why’d you do that?” He asked.

I couldn’t think of a reason why, I didn’t love him but I needed to feel loved. And I’m not proud of it but I needed someone to love me just for tonight. I leaned in again and this time he didn’t hesitate. Our lips collided passionately, making my breath in my throat hitch.

----

The morning sun woke me from my slumber, the light shone into the room waking me up. My eyes opened, the events from the night before came flooding back into my head. I looked over to my right to see Tony, sound asleep. It made my heart flutter to think of what we did last night. My stomach done flips just thinking about it.

I didn’t think this would be the way I became a woman. And I only say that because the moment you get intimate with someone is the moment you grow up. It’s not easy to do but it’s important. And Tony made me feel beautiful, more so than I ever thought was possible.

I sat up slowly, put one of Tony’s shirts on and searched for some paper and a pen. I had to explain something to Tony before I left. There was a notepad on his desk luckily.

‘Dear Tony,

Thank you for being exactly what I needed. Not for just last night but for the past four months. I’m not angry anymore about anything, it’s actually exactly what I needed to happen. You can tell Vic what happened if you want or it can be our special night. And it was special. I’m glad I got to give myself to someone who is so deserving. I hope that someday you’ll find someone who is so damn amazing that you can’t keep your eyes off her because Tony Perry you deserve it more than anyone else in the whole world. You are amazing.

I’m leaving today, for good. I hope our paths cross again before too long. But for now, we have graduation and I’m not leaving this town without one last blow out with my best friends.

Tony Perry, I love you

p.s I stole your star wars shirt and some pants so I can get home, I’ll wash them and give you them back before I go away.

Lvnn Gvnn xo’

I felt the tears well up in my eyes as I set the pen down and ripped the paper off the pad. I set the note down next to Tony’s sleeping figure and kissed his forehead. He didn’t wake up thankfully but it was worth the risk. I grabbed his pants and shoved them on, they were a bit big for me but they were cute. I smelled like him. My shoes were rappidly put on and I was off out of his house.

----

My purple gown wrapped around my body, the silk was so smooth to touch. I felt like a brand new me. Everything was great, everything had to be. The hat sat nicely upon my head, the bobble kept falling into my eyes though. “I’m so happy my girl is graduating today” My mom gushed. It was adorable that she was happy but in about two hours she’s gonna hate me for leaving. We pulled up into the parking lot of my school. This is it.

I got out the car and the three of us walked up to the building. Lots of other people with their families were around the grounds of the school. But none of my friends yet. “Come on, let’s go in and get our seats” My dad told us, dragging me away from finding the guys.

We walked in and I went to find my seat, with my name on it. The room began filling up quickly. The first of my friends I seen was Jaime. He ended up sitting behind me. “Lynn what happened last night?” He asked with worry.

“Mike got drunk and came clean about the bet” I explained. He looked really sad and was about to start saying sorry. “Jaime don’t worry, I know you were nothing to do with it. We’re cool” I smiled at him.

“Vic does love you, y’know” He told me. I noticed Vic enter the hall, he had puffy red eyes and a dazed look on his face. He scanned the room and we made eye contact. I turned around to look at Jaime again.

“It’s okay Jaime, everything’s gonna be okay” I smiled.

Within about twenty minutes the hall was filled with people, the ceremony began. Countless teachers droned on about how proud they were of the students and how important graduation was for us. Finally after what felt like a million years we were being called up for our diplomas. Finally.

“Lyndsey Gunnulfsen” I walked up and got my scroll. It felt awesome to finally be done with school. No more school for me. EVER!

“Thank you to class of 2007“ My principle said to us all. It felt good. We all threw up our caps and everything.

I walked over to my parents and they hugged me, so happy that I was growing up. “We’re proud of you” My mom kissed my head.

“Where’s Vic?” My dad asked me as he looked around for him.

“I dunno, he’s around here somewhere” I told them as we walked out into the football field. Everyone was kinda congregating there to get pictures and say their goodbyes.

My parents began talking to other parents and left me standing there awkwardly. “Lynn” I heard a voice call. I turned to see Tony walking towards me.

I walked over to him and smiled. “Hey you” I looked up at him. He looked so devasted.

“Don’t leave please” He begged. I sighed and looked away.

“Why?” I asked him.

“Because you’re loved here. We don’t want you to go anywhere Lynn. Please. For me” He begged. I took his hand and smiled up at him.

“All I’m ever going to be is that girl who ruin Taylor Owens life for Vic. I want to be Lynn, the kick ass singer in an amazing band. If I go to LA I might be in with a chance of doing that” I explained. “I’m not running away from everything, I’m running to my future. I’m taking it head on and not letting go until I get it. I’m sorry if this hurts but I won’t ever forget you and we can keep in contact. I’ll be back once a month to see my parents” I told him. He finally just nodded. Defeated.

“Goodluck Lynn. You’re always gonna have a special place in my heart” He pulled me in for a hug. It was bone crushing but it was good.

“Hey there guys” Jaime butted in. I looked at him and pulled him in. The tears were beginning to form in my eyes.

“I’m going to miss you all” I mumbled.

“Why, we’re not going anywhere?” Jaime was confused.

“I’m leaving for LA today” I explained pulling away from the hug. His face dropped.

“Oh, I’m happy for you. Don’t ever forget that we are the royality here” Jaime grinned at me.

“Hey, do you know where Vic is?” I asked Jaime. Jaime looked around and then nodded. Vic was sitting under the tree, Our tree.

I slowly walked over. He didn’t look at me or anywhere else. Just straight ahead. I sat down next to him, the silence engulfed us. “From day one I knew you would be the one” He mumbled, staring blankly ahead. “There was absolutely no doubt about it. The bet was my dumb, cocky way of proving to everyone that I claimed you. They weren’t allowed you” He rambled on. “But I had no right, you are too good for me” He sighed.

“I loved Vic, the one who took me to McDonald’s at 2am because I really wanted fries. I loved the guy who would do anything for his friends and I especially loved the Vic who told me not be scared of the future because you were just as scared as I was. That’s why I loved you. And I say loved because last night I found out that you betrayed me. You used me for your own gain. Whether it was how you felt at prom, it was still your first intetion with me and that’s what kills me” I told him.

He looked at me with such pain in his eyes. “I’m sorry Lynn” He whispered. I stood up slowly.

“This is goodbye Vic. I’m sure you’ll do great in college, but I won’t be there. I’m not mad at you though. I do genuinely wish you all the best, and maybe one day our paths will cross again. If so, I’m excited to see where that leads us” I walked off and got into my parents car.

We drove home and that was it. The end of my high school life. It wasn’t horrific, but it was good either. It was numb. I went up to my bedroom and began packing everything I could. Everything I needed. Telling my parents what I had chosen to do wasn’t easy. But after many arguments they finally let me go for it. All the money in my college fund was given to me to give me the best opportunity while in LA.

Stuffing everything into my bags made the whole thing surreal. I was finally getting out of San Diego. My dad helped me take my bags down to my car and I was finally ready to leave. “Call us when you get there okay” My mom told me. Her eyes filled up with water.

“I will I swear” I told her. My dad hugged and my mom nearly broke down.

I got into my car and turned on the engine. This is it. I’m finally growing up. I left my driveway and drove through the suburb that I lived in, making my way past all my friends houses. Vic’s, Tony’s and then Jaime’s. The tears began flowing down my face. The pain was much harder than I thought it would be.

Maybe one day it’ll all be worth this pain.

The End. H
