Perspective (A Helping Hand)

5 months ago · 0 · Short Story, +10

I pushed my grocery cart into the cart section, feeling angry and bitter. How could I have run into my ex-boyfriend at the supermarket? And with his new girlfriend! I'm sure he recognized me, he saw me and just looked away. I can't believe I still miss him after what he's done to me!

I trip on a plastic bag and land flat on my face, and it hurts. I feel dirty and my face stings. My ankle feels even worse, and I start crying, looking like a huge mess on the ground, picking up my fallen groceries.

She pushed her cart with so much force, I nearly jumped. she was frowning a lot, and I could see her lips move angrily. She looked angrier and angrier. She huffed and walked away, her heels clicking away as she moves closer to a fallen bag on the ground. I just watch as she trips, not expecting her to actually get caught in the plastic bag. When she started sobbing, I became concerned and rushed over to help her pick up her groceries.
