Our Girl

Jasmine

I thought love would last forever when I was with my first boyfriend. I may have been too young to understand what it really is but I fell in love anyways, I think.

"We need to break up" I said as we walked out of class behind everyone. Theodore stopped in his tracks and turned around.

"What?"

"I want to break up with you" I let go of his hand.

"Umm. Is everything okay? Let's go to mine and talk"

"Okay."

"I'm breaking up with you" I repeated once he closed the door.

"But why?"

"How about we ask Hannah."

He froze, staring at me with a slightly opened mouth.

"What- what- Hannah? umm what about her?"

I shrugged "how about the fact that you slept with her last night. And God knows how many times before that because it was obvious you've done it before"

"Oh yeah? Are you just ignoring the fact that you've cheated multiple times?"

I'm flabbergasted. Is he really turning this around on me like I did anything?

"Excuse me. what?!"

"Don't lie to me. I literally saw you kiss someone at the bus stop yesterday and I know you've done something with the three guys at your work. I've seen the way they look at you, you slag"

Tears started to form in my eyes. He just had to bring up the bus stop incident.

"The bus-" my voice cracked "the bus stop thing was- i- I was-"

"You was what? Tempted? Being the slag you are?"

"Stop it Theodore."

"No because that's what you are. A slag. A whore. A cunt. A-"

"I WAS ASSAULTED!" I accidentally shouted, causing me to sit down on the edge of his bed with my head in my hands. 

Isn't that where-

Oh fuck..

I stood up and wiped the back of my trousers.

Theodore scoffed "sure." He rolled his eyes.

"What?"

"I said 'sure' you were "assaulted"" he put in air quotes.

"You don't- you don't believe me?"

"Do you have proof?"

"Proof? What fucking proof do you think I'm a pig, wearing a body camera? I'm not going to have fucking proof Theodore!"

"Then I don't believe you! From what I know, you're a disgusting, ugly, slag who's been sleeping around with 4 men at the same time."

"What's wrong with you? I didn't fucking cheat. You're in the wrong here. Why can't you just accept your mistake."

"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. IT HURTS THAT YOU WOULD EVEN ACCUSE ME OF THAT"

"I can't do this anymore Theodore. Why can't you just own up. I'm so sick of you and your lies." I walked out of the room but not before I turned around and said "I thought I loved you Theo. I'm happy I didn't" I closed the door, feeling a slight weight lifted off my shoulders.
