Change

by Freedom :]

“I was just by the lake and she came up and jumped on me. I had to wrestle to get her off and stop her before she did something she’d regret.” Jack told Trey.

My teeth were clenched in a hard line as Trey turned to me. I could see Jack behind him, glaring at me but I wasn’t about to lie about cheating. Even if it is Jack.

This was the moment to decide. The time between what’s real and what’s fake. I knew the truth but was it the right way to go with Jack standing over me?

“Is that all true?” Trey asked me.

“I … I have to go. Sorry.” I ran down the path, heading for any place to hide.

This was definitely not how I wanted my summer to be. I didn’t want to live in fear of some guy and not spending time with my boyfriend. This needed to change.

Step 1: Forget about Jack. Pretend he doesn’t even exist anymore.

Step 2: Tell Trey all of the truth. Tell him everything Jack did.

Step 3: I don’t know quite yet. But I’m going to figure it out. Change is coming.

Hopefully.

    Man, I hope she tells him the truth soon. Running off like that makes her look guilty, even if she’s just scared of the brooding psycho who keeps accosting her. I like the resolve she has at the end.

    Ach.

    This is my summertime frustration!

    I noticed you had Jake instead of Jack in the third paragraph.

    Otherwise, great as usual!
