Abandoned

chapter 1

Mayra's p.o.v

I sneak out the backdoor of Omar's house. I crawl through the hole in the fence in the backyard that divides our houses. Luckily my parents are asleep and I sneak back into my room and do not get caught. I shower and put on my pajamas and lie on the bed. I sigh. I am 17 years old and I am madly in love with my next door neighbor. He just turned 18. Omar is so handsome, but he has alot of women who are after him. He has an on and off again girlfriend named Julia who I hate. I wish he would just break up with her completely and stay with me. He tells me he loves me and that it is Julia who just won't leave him alone. We all go to school together. I need to find a way to get rid of her. My parents don't really like Omar, because he smokes pot. I don't care about that. I check the time and it is already 2am and I have to be up at 7am to go to school so I force myself to fall asleep.

I walk down the hall and watch Omar making out with Julia and my blood boils. We just had sèx last night. What the heck. "Hey girl hey" my friend Ania yells in my face. She is always happy. She also hates Omar. She hates what he puts me through. Yes, she knows all about us. She often hangs out with his bestfriend Tucker and we double date, but not out in public. We mostly hang out at Ania's house. Her parents are rich and they have a pool so we go there. "I'm sorry Mayra" she says and I just give her a sad smile. "He isn't worth it girl, you can do so much better" she tells me. I nod. I know she is right, but I just love him so much. I close my locker and glance over his way. He looks at me then looks down and kisses Julia. What an aśśhole. I turn around and walk away. Screw him. I go through my classes trying to avoid everyone. At lunch I don't want to see them together so I decide to go hang out by the bleachers. I watch kids doing drugs behind the p.e. building. "Baby, where are you?" I receive a text mesage from Omar, but I decide to ignore it. I need to clear my mind. I don't want to be here anymore. I decide to leave early. I walk to the park and hang out on the swings. I need to find a way to get over Omar. Ania is right, he isn't worth it. I wish he was more like Tucker. Tucker actually wants to be with Ania and he shows her off. Oh well. Sucks to be me.

At 4pm I walk home. Omar is standing outside with Julia and their friends, including Tucker and Ania. I don't even bother looking at them or saying anything to them though. I know Ania hangs out with them since she is with Tucker, but for some reason it makes me feel like she is betraying me. She is my friend, yet she is hanging out with her. I just open my front door and walk inside. Right as I am about to close it, Ania puts her foot in the door. "Mayra, hey girl where were you? I didn't see you after lunch" she asks. "I just want to be alone Mayra. I will see you tomorrow okay" I tell her. "You okay?" she asks "I'm fine" I tell her. She nods and turns around to leave. I close the door and go to my room and cry. At 10pm my phone starts ringing. I check it and it is Omar. "Hello" I answer. "Mayra, where the hèll were you today?" he asks me. "Mayra. You better not have been with any other man" he says. "Why do you care? You have a whole aśś girlfriend Omar, leave me alone" I tell him and hang up. My phone dings. "I don't love her the way I love you Mayra." he texts me. "then dump her" I reply. "Okay I will dump her tomorrow, now please come over" he texts me. I walk outside to make sure my parents are asleep and when I see that they are I lock my room door and climb out of the window and go through the broken fence and he is waiting for me in his backyard, He brings me in his room. "I missed seeing your beautiful face today." he tells me and kisses me. "You promise you are going to break up with her?" I ask him. "Mayra, I thought we were just friends with benefits. Isn't this what we agreed on?" he asks me and I nod. Yeah, we sure did, but I have loved him for a long time now and he finally paid attention to me. Too bad I can't tell him this though. I don't want to seem too desperate. I guess I will have to play the same game he is playing. "Yeah, you are right. Lets just keep things as they are." I tell him even though my heart is breaking saying this. I feel like an ìdìot and like a bigger ìdìot I sleep with him again. Tonight is the last night I promise myself. I can't keep letting him make me weak.

A couple of months later.

Omar and Tucker decided to throw a party since the weather is nicer now. Everyone got really drunk and we ended up sleeping together again. Julia found out and was very angry. She threatened him and he cut off all communication with me for a week, then he started messaging me again. We are supposed to meet tonight and I might have some news for him. I get home from school and the neighbor is here with mom. "Hi Mayra" she says "Hi Christina" I tell her. "Just call me Chris" she tells me and I nod. I kiss my mom's cheek and run upstairs. I open my backpack and take the bag out. My period is late and I have been feeling extra tired so I went and bought a couple of pregnancy tests. I follow the instructions on the box and take a couple of tests. I wait the 3 minutes it says to wait. I clean everything up in the mean time. My alarm rings and I go check the tests. Fùck, my parents are going to kill me. All of the tests say the same thing, POSITIVE. This can't be happening to me. I decide to text Omar. Today is friday and there's no school tomorrow so maybe we can figure out together what to do and how to tell our parents. I text him "Hey I need to talk to you" I wait and hours pass and he still hasn't responded. It isn't until about 8pm that I get a text. "Sorry Mayra, I won't be able to see you or talk to you anymore. It was fun while it lasted. Take care" he texts me. What kind of text is that? I stay awake thinking about what this could mean. Why can't he talk to me? Did that bìtch Julia threaten him again? What does she have on him? I need to tell him that I am pregnant. That will make him leave her for good. I don't see his car in the driveway so I wait on the porch for him to get home. I grab a book and my laptop incase my parents come out here, they will think I am doing something. It is almost 11pm when his car finally pulls up. I stand up, getting ready to walk over there when I see his passenger door open first. I stay back on my porch and watch as Julia gets out of the car, wearing a wedding dress. Then Omar gets out wearing a tux. My stomach drops. With the movement, my porch light comes on and they both look at me. "Oh hey, I will be the first to tell you that Omar and I just got married so back off bìtch" Julia tells me. "Julia" Omar calls her and pulls her inside of the house. He doesn't even bother looking at me. I watch them close the door and everything I had planned goes flying out the door. What am I going to do now?
