Love Yourself so No One has to

The dark water was cool on my aching feet as I slowly lowered them into the depths. The sun had just begun to set over Matapeake beach - casting a golden glow over the restless waves and soft, gritty sand.

Despite the calm and peaceful atmosphere that came with the isolated beach, a war was raging within my body - a war between my heart and my head.

My fingers curled in the sand, the soft grains coating my slender digits as I exhaled deeply - the sigh lost in the breeze that had slowly begun to pick up in the early evening.

In my pocket my phone buzzed incessantly and yet despite my curiosity, I didn't look at who might be contacting me - I had a pretty good idea of who it might be.

I couldn't get his face out of my mind - the way he'd looked straight into my eyes, his own eyes widening in horror as he'd taken in my presence - everytime I closed my eyes, it was all I could see.

"Fuck YOU!" My voice echoed throughout the bay. In the trees behind me, birds flew out into the air - fleeing the source of the sound.

I'd given him almost one year of my life - my senior year, the supposed 'best year' of my school life - and it was all tainted by one sickening act.

Unable to hold back the tears anymore, I found myself curling up on the sand, my Ravens hoodie - his Ravens hoodie - baggy on my slender frame and my skinny jeans rolled up to the knee.

My composure had melted away and now the cracks had appeared in the façade I'd maintained until that moment - my shell, my protection shattering.

Once again - buried deep in my pocket - my phone buzzed with an alert and with a heavy swallow and a hefty breath, reached in and pulled it out.

'I'm sorry.'
