Chapter 30

           I can't believe it's been a week since I found out. A week of crying and hiding in the stage. A week of being alone. It felt awful. Walking home on Friday, I decided I needed to do one more thing before I got over Tony. So after dinner I told my Mom I was going to the store for some Tums, and got in the truck.

           I drove to the edge of town and got out. I was at the timberline. At our place. The sight was sad. I parked the truck and started walking. When I got to the clearing, I gasped. Tony's truck was there! HE was there! In the truck bed! I hid behind a tree and watched. Was he alone? Was he visiting before he got over me? He was staring up at the sunset. Then, another body emerged. A girl. She looked up at the sunset. The rage built up inside of me. My hands balled up into fists. I turned to go, but I saw them kiss. The very same was he used to kiss me. Once again my rage filled me until it overtook me. I ran towards them. Tony spotted me and gasped. "Cherry!? What the he-" I started screaming at him. "Tony! No, YOU What the heck! This was OUR place! And you decided not only to CHEAT on me, but take her here!? What the heck is wrong with you!?" He looked at his girl, embarrassed. "I'll take care of it." He whispered as he stepped out of his truck. "What happened, Tony!? Why did you cheat!? Who Is this?" He looked mad. "Cherry, I need you to calm down and go home. I will call you later and explain." I raged on. "I have been miserable all week because of you! Absolutely beside myself! And you know why?" He just stared at me. "BECAUSE I STILL LOVE YOU! Dangit! I still love you!" I pulled my hand back and slapped him, then I didn't even know what I was thinking, but I kissed him. For the last time, I kissed him on the lips. He pulled back. "Who do you think you are!?" His girlfriend yelled. I stared into his tearful eyes. They still hypnitised me. "I still love you. I'm sorry." I whispered, sobbing. "Why?" "She was my girlfriend back in my hometown. I just saw her and loved her again." I looked at her. She was mad. But then we both looked down and gasped. I stared at her. "oh my gosh-'' Her worst trait said "I am a player." and her best trait said "I can read name tags.".
