I walked briskly in the hot Florida "spring-time" sun.
"Spring my a*s. Damn this oven they call a state." I mumbled. But as I wiped my eyes, I knew that it wasn't the weather I was mad at.
I was upset because my life had just been turned upside down. My boyfriend of two years, the man I had given everything to had decided that I wasn't good enough. So he dumped me.
As I walked, I stumbled over my own feet and fell forward, catching myself on my hands and knees. I didn't feel like moving- I wanted to wallow in my self pity- so I just sat there. It's not like anyone was going to use this road- I lived in the middle of nowhere. As I sat, his face flashed before my eyes. I shivered despite the heat and wondered what the hell I did wrong. Why did he not want me anymore?

"But Anthony..." I whispered.
"Don't say anything, Izzy. Nothing will change my mind." Anthony said quietly.
"But... Just last night, you said you loved me." Tears were in my eyes, but I wiped them away before he could see them.
He just shrugged. "You were a good f**k. And besides, I was drunk last night, wasn't I?" His gray eyes held no pity for me.
"So that's it?" I asked "That's all I was to you for the past two years? A good f**k?"
"Not at first. But it's what you've become."
I paused for a moment, trying to process what had just happened, what had been said, before walking out the front door. "I hope you burn in hell, Anthony." I muttered.

And so here I am. Crying on the side of the road for someone who never cared for me in the first place.
But I cared for him, and that made it so much worse.
My sobbing turned into hyperventilation. Perfect. Just what I need. A panic attack.
I struggled for my breath, but to no avail. So obviously, to make my day so much better than it was, I blacked out.

I feel like there's something missing in this chapter but I'm not quite sure what it is. Maybe you could explain the scene where she actually was breaking up with Anthony instead of flashingback to it. After that, then you could explain to us her little mishap on the street. Other than that, great job! :)
