My Biggest Mistake

“Anything.â€? Jason whispered, “I’ll help you with anything.” He pushed the rest of my memories out of his mind. “I’d really love to just kill him right now.â€?

“Easy, that’s not what I meant.â€? I laughed, I actually laughed. I was standing outside the mall, telling a guy I met a week ago about my darkest secret and I actually laughed. Then, I remembered what my jeans said. Believe. it was time to really start.

“What did you mean then? Are you gonna tell me what he said?â€? he asked, looking excited. Note to self: Never forget Jason gets overexcited often.

I sighed loudly. “Yes. I don’t know what to do now.â€?

“If you tell me, does that give me the right to kick his ass?â€?

“Not at all, sorry.â€? As much as I hated Collin, I loved him more.

Unfortunately, Jason could see that. He could just look at me now and be able to know the difference between my truth and lies. It’s probably a good thing, judging by the fact that he might be able to stop me from making the stupidest mistake of my life.

Okay, maybe not.
