"You can't just expect me to say yes!" Feeling tears burning behind my eyes, I swallowed thickly before continuing. "For years, you were horrible to me and now...nothing has really changed. If this is just a dare or a bet, please just tell me and I won't be angry but you can't just..."


"It's not! I'm not joking and this is not a bet. How can you even think that? I know I've made mistakes but that was months ago!" Stepping closer, his spicy scent invaded my senses, making my knees weak as I struggled to hold my composure.


"I...I need space and time...to think. Um...I have to go." Hastily, I scambled away before I did something stupid. Keeping my head down, I scurried across the parking lot to my car. I quickly glanced behind me and immediately wished I didn't. He was staring at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen. I had to force my legs to keep moving before my resolve crumbled and I went running back to him. Putting the gear into drive, I squealed out of the parking lot, eager to get home and cry in a corner.


Memories ran through my head like a movie reel. He was always there for me but how can I forgive him for what he did and said like it was nothing? He was my best friend and he tore up my heart like it meant absolutely nothing to him. I stood there taking it and he didn't do anything to wipe away the tears streaming down my face. I had been hurt too many times, I couldn't handle another heartbreak. My tears blurred my vision as I stopped for a red light. Sniffling quickly and hastily wiping away my tears, I resumed my journey home.


Turns out, when I got home, I didn't do anything different. I sat there on the sofa crying for almost 2 hours before getting up to get chocolate marshmallow icecream and then resuming my previous position on the sofa. By the time my tears stopped, it was dark outside and the carton of ice cream was empty so I decided to call it a day and went to bed.


You might be confused so let me back up a bit. I still remember that morning. The day I met Kaleb Vargosa.
