The following day, I ran into Carl near his house, who had just come from spending time with Ron and Rick. Ron was learning about guns, and Rick was teaching him. Carl approached me and said, "Hey, Nyla." I felt his eyes on my neck, I came over and sat next to him on his porch
I couldn't stop thinking about the hickeys that Ron had left on my neck the night before. I felt a mix of emotions. On one hand, I loved the way that Ron made me feel. He was passionate and intense, and I loved being with him. But on the other hand, I felt trapped in our relationship. Ron was controlling and possessive, and I didn't know how to break free.
I confided in Carl that I was thinking about breaking up with Ron, but I hadn't taken any action yet. "Are you okay?" Carl asked, his voice filled with concern, I nodded, feeling guilty for even considering leaving Ron "Yeah," I mumbled, trying not to think about my feelings for Carl while I was still with Ron. I knew that I had to make a decision, but it wasn't easy
Ron was the only person I had ever been with. As I talked to Carl, I felt a sense of comfort. He was always there for me, and I knew that I could trust him. But at the same time, I felt a sense of guilt. I knew that I was developing feelings for Carl, and I didn't know how to deal with them, For now, I pushed my feelings aside and tried to focus on my relationship with Ron But deep down, I knew that something had to change. I couldn't keep living like this
I decided to just talk to Carl about it, I told him that I was still into Ron, but I was feeling frustrated because he only wanted to kiss and didn't talk to me much. Carl asked, "Do you wanna talk about it" I sighed and explained, "I really like Ron, but I feel like he's not interested in anything beyond making out I want to have a real conversation with him, but he's always so distant you know?" I told him
"Have you talked to him about it?" Carl asked. "Um i mean I kind of have, but it's complicated," I responded, "If he's not willing to have an honest conversation with you, then he's not worth your time" He told me
"You really think so?" I asked. "I mean Nyla, If he's only interested in kissing you, then he's probably not looking for a real relationship" Carl explained
"How do you even know all about relationships, you've never been in one" I questioned
"I know I haven't been in one myself but I've seen enough of them to know what works and what doesn't and if he's not willing to speak to you much, then he's not worth your time"
I nodded, taking in his words "It's just hard, you know?" I said. "I really like him, but I don't want to just be used by him"
"I understand," Carl said. "But you have to put yourself first. You deserve someone who's willing to have a real conversation with you and who's interested in more than that"
"Yeah, you're right," I said, feeling a sense of relief. "I think I just need to talk to him again and make it clear."
Carl smiled. "Yeah i get you and if he's not willing to then it's time to move on and find someone who is" I nodded "Yeah probably" I agreed, As Carl continued to offer me advice, I couldn't help but notice how nice he was being his deep blue eyes and warm smile made me feel comfortable
