Figured It Out

“Are you lying to me again?” I snapped. He replied, “No this is the honest truth.” He reached out for my hand, but I stepped away. “Then,” I began, “why were you always hurting me so much? Is it your anger or something?” I shuddered as the wrist memory popped back into my mind, bringing on a whole new kind of pain. “I swear I was high. Everytime.” He protested, but he wasn’t convincing. I shook my head as I felt the weight of this issues. I pondered, “Why were you high then? You…you told me you didn’t drink. In fact, I never saw a drink in your hand ever.” Finally, the obvious facts were smacked into my face. He wasn’t ever high and he wasn’t ever really angry. He wanted me to dump him but that’s stupid. Suddenly Jacob walked out with Hannah. “Sofia are you ready to go?” Jacob asked, but he didn’t wait for an answer. He went to Pete and hissed, “What did you do to her this time?” Pete pushed him back and replied, “Hey man calm down. We aren’t starting anything. Sofia and I figured it out. You can go now.”
