To Be Married or Not to Be

A Mistaken Kiss - Part 4

Friday May 18th, 2012, 3:00 pm College...Assembly Building

 Today is the day I wished would come before he entered my life, but now do I? No. I wished this day would never ever come. I wished the college school year would stretch out as far as the West coast, since we are in Florida... Today is the day summer break starts. I know what you might be thinking, I should be happy, but was I? No. It meant that I had to be away from Jake for a whole summer. A WHOLE SUMMER! Could I handle that? No. I'm gonna miss him a lot. Emailing, calling, texting, facebooking, and Skype aren't gonna be enough for me. Yeah, yeah you might say I'm addicted to him, but whatever cause I just I love him so much. I haven't told him that I loved him yet, I mean he hasn't either, but it doesn't matter anyway. I decided that I was going to tell him today, since I wasn't going to see him for a whole summer. Ugh, I need to stop making my life a sob story and get my butt into the assembly building.

 I walked into the building and gasped at what I saw...thousands of students. No, more than that. I never knew my school had this many people in it. The next thing I saw was Jake standing by a girl talking with her. I decided to ease drop. I went behind a stand and watched and listened to their conversation.

"So how are you Jakey," the girl said batting her eyelashes.

When I could finally see who it was I was SO mad. She was Bree, the school's popular girl, the school's mean girl, the school's --- ANYWAY, I hated her and she hated me. Whoever I dated she tried to win them over, she even went to my high school, what a treat! (note my sarcasm.)

 I stopped my train of thoughts and listened harder, "I'm great except that college is ending for the summer and so now I don't get to see all of the people here for awhile."

"Yeah," she laughed. She was so flirting with him and she knew that he was dating me.

"So how are you Bree?" he asked.

"I'm pretty good, but I'm sad cause I won't be able to see you all summer," she said and did a flirty fake pout.

"Yeah," Jake laughed.

"I'll miss you," she said and before he could say anything she grabbed his shirt and pulled him to her kissing him. And what was that? Was he kissing her back??! They pulled away after 10 seconds. 10 SECONDS!! That is a lot of seconds.

"Umm I have to go," Jake said and ran to the concession stand. Bree had a satisfied look on her face when she looked at me.

 I ran hard all the way to my dorm crying. How could Jake betray me like this? I just started to think that he actually liked me.

As I was running I could here Jake calling my name. "Chey! Chey!" he kept saying.

"Go away you jerk!" I yelled through tears.

"Chey I didn't mean to! She kissed me!"

"You kissed her back for 10 seconds!! That is pretty long!" I yelled. He finally caught up to me and grabbed my wrist.

"Chey," he said smoothly.

"No Jake, I don't want to do this! I thought you cared about me. I thought you loved me. And you know what the dumbest thing is? I thought I loved you!" I cried.

"Chey I'm sorry. She wouldn't let me pull away," Jake said.

"Your strong you can pull away if you want to, but no you decided to stay in it and break my heart!" I yelled and started walking again then broke into a run leaving Jake standing there.

 When I got to my room I flung myself on my bed blowing my nose in a tissue. I don't think I've cried this much before. Ever. I heard a knock at the door. "GO AWAY JAKE!" I yelled.

"It's DeDe," the voice said. I jumped up and opened the door seeing DeDe there. "Whoa," she said looking at my face. "Sit and tell me what happened."

"Ok," I mumbled as I was looking down. We sat on my bed and I launched into my story. I was in tears the whole time.

"Oh Chey I'm sorry," she said and wrapped me in a bear hug. "Love you 'sister'."

"Love you too 'sister'," I said and half-smiled.

 Again there was a knock at the door, so DeDe got up to get it. "What do you want?" she growled.

"I want to talk to Chey," a familiar voice said. Jake.

"Well you can't, she's busy," Dede said. I've never heard her use that tone before, but I love how she sticks up for me.

"Let me see her now," Jake barked.

"No" DeDe said.

The door burst open and Jake walked in. DeDe grabbed Jakes arm tightly. Even though DeDe was small she was really strong.

"Leave," DeDe said.

"Chey, please let me talk to you" Jake said.

"No, please leave," I said through clenched teeth and teary eyes.

"Chey. I love you," he said looking me straight in the eye. I gasped; he's never said that before. "I love you Cheyenne Maine Sky. You are my everything. I can't live without you." My heart stopped. Did I believe him? "Believe me please" he said as if reading my mind.

"I don't know if I can," I said walking up to where he was standing.

 DeDe finally let go, but still had clenched fists. "I'll be back. If he does anything call me" she said sending Jake a death glare then leaving.

When she left Jake began speaking again. "I know what I did was wrong. No was HORRIBLY wrong, but I'm stupid, no BEYOND stupid. I know that you can never forgive me, but it still doesn't take away the feeling of how much I love you. Plus this is our last day together and I don't want to fight with you," he said.

"You love me?" I managed to choke out.

"Yes, way more than you can ever imagine! I've been in love with you since the first day I met you. The first time I touched you. The first time I kissed you," he said.

Then he leaned in and kissed me. I pushed back and looked him straight in the eye. "I'm sorry, but I need to think about us for a couple of hours," I said.

"Ok, take your time," he mumbled and walked out the door.

 Oh, what a day. Tomorrow I would be going home, so I either forgive him or end it now. I mean I love him, but does he deserve a second chance? Can I trust him again? Ugh, I hate relationships. I should have just stayed single forever and not have to deal with this. What should I do?
