IT'S COMPLICATED

1. THE BREAKUP

It was beautiful outside. I was at camp for the whole summer as a camp counselor. It was a great summer but now I gotta go back to school. I'm gonna miss a lot of things at camp here but most especially Edward Jones, my boyfriend that I'd met here.

I walked over to where he was making snores and sat next to him. He handed me one. I kept staring at him like a stalker but I had to absorb that face before we move to different cities tomorrow.

"What you looking at?" He said putting his hand over my shoulder.

"Just looking at a pretty face before I don't see it for long while," I said honestly.

His face expression changed immediately from all cool calm and collected to worried that I'm gonna die in a few seconds.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"We need to talk about us," he stated. Oh hell no, he did not just use the 'we need to talk'. It's usually bad. Every person knows that.

"What about us exactly?" I asked still having some hope that it wasn't what I thought and instead some kind of sick joke.

"We can't work," he so simply stated.

"What?! Why?!" I asked.

"It's because of the distance. The only time we'll ever get to see each other again is next summer at the camp. What happens if you see another guy and you get feelings for someone else, then what?"he said like he had thought this out well.

"So what are you insinuating that I would cheat on you?"

"That's not what I'm saying and you very well know it"

"It's that Tiffany girl, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Your ex-crush or girlfriend or whatever. She texted you and said that she wants you back. Am I right?"

"Have you been going through my phone?"

"Not like there's much to hide."

"You're insane if you think of me like that."

"I'm not insane. Infact the only insane thing here is you still having feelings for her yet you very well know that she could play you again," I said tears threatening to come out of my eyes.

"You know I only have feelings for you and you are insane being so insecure. It's already hard enough that I have to break both yours and my heart. And for Tiffany, who cares about her existence? I won't talk to her and I'll even try my very best to ignore her if that makes you happy."

"Actually it doesn't. I know that when you go back to school you won't be able to resist her. I mean you can't get over a relationship you have had with someone for a whole 3 years in just one summer."

"Do you really think that low of me?"

""I'm just stating facts and it's not like you've given me any reason not to."

"I like you! Isn't that reason enough?" We stayed in silence for quite some time." Look all I'm saying is that I won't get back together with that Tiffany girl." He spoke out.

"Why don't we bet on it?" I offered clearly not even sure of what I was thinking of at the moment. All I know is that I don't want to cry.

"What? Are you even aware of what you're saying right now? You want to bet on the chances of me getting back together with a person who broke my heart?"

"Are you scared you'll lose?"

"Ok fine. My side of the bet is that I won't ever get back together with Tiffany and if I do ever get back together with, I won't be played."

"My side is that you will get back together with Tiffany and in the end she will play you and you will come back crawling to me. So what happens if I lose?"

"You go first since your the one who brought up this stupid idea."

"Sure. If you do exactly as I said, you will have to move to East side,"

"That's too much for a simple bet," he tried to reason but I'm too stubborn and sick of him to negotiate.

"I'm not in a negotiating mood especially since I just went through a breakup, so take it or swallow your damn ego and admit that I'm right."

"No, because I know that I'm right. Infact if you lose, you have to never set foot in East side ever again. Deal?"

He just used  one of my weaknesses. He knows how much I love East side but I can trust my gut, right? That little prick. Thank heavens I broke up with him.

"Deal," I said and then we sealed it off with a handshake.

We went our separate ways and didn't even meet before we left. I don't know about anyone else but that was one weird breakup I just had there.

I mean who makes a bet with there ex right after breaking up about him getting back together with his ex.

Some might call this a summer fling but I actually liked him and I had fallen damn hard for him. I miss his stupid face and all his stupid statements trying to reason with me even if he knows I'll still end up doing it either way. I mean he cared for me and that's one thing.

The only reason I'm holding up so we'll is because he will come back to me before the next summer. And yes I know you're wondering a whole year without a relationship. Well you should know how hard it is for me to find someone I'm actually willing to like and introduce to all my friends as my boyfriend. Well what can we do. I guess love ain't my best friend.

Just then I saw my mom's car pull up. I guess it's time to go back to my old life. I came to this camp single and I'm leaving it single. Only a few people in this world can accomplish that.
