They Saved Me.

Background

It's me, this is just a little background about Mitch and Caren.

Caren was my girlfriend, she was amazing when we first stared dating, sweet, kind, caring, smart, everything a guy wants in a girl. I thought she was perfect. We never fought.

But something happened, when she met Jerome. She became clingy, very clingy, she became possessive. She never left me alone. She was always saying I was never spending any time with her. Always saying I spend way to much time with Jerome, that it was unnatural. She was always complaining about Jerome, saying he's a bad influence, a bad person.

So I believed her, for a short time. Because I loved her. I stopped hanging out with Jerome, stopped recording with him, stopped talking to him.

For a few days I was fine, but after some months, I became depressed, I stopped talking, eating, I stopped taking care of myself. I became anorexic and a mute. I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed. And Caren never noticed.

And since she never noticed, when she was out one day, I called Jerome. When he answered he sounded happy and sad at the same time, like he was happy to hear from me but sad that it took so long. We talked for as long as we could before Caren got back. After talking to Jerome I felt happier, I started eating, talking, moving, taking care of myself. Everyday when I could and for as long as I could, I called and talked with Jerome. When Caren found out she tried to take away my ways of communicating with Jerome. When she did that, that is when I realized that I couldn't live without Jerome. When I told her that I didn't feel the same way about her as I once did and that I wanted to break up with her, she went crazy, she agreed but said I would regret it later, saying she saved me from Jerome. After she left I knew she would be back so I called Jerome, told him I needed a place to stay and asked him if he could help me pack and to pick me up. He agreed and said he'd be here soon.

After a couple days of getting settled in, I went to the cafe a couple streets away and saw her with the guy she was going to pay to kidnap Jerome. I recorded the incident on my phone. I called the cops and they arrested her. Said she would be gone for awhile, but she'll be back, but it's a good thing she doesn't know where Jerome lives. Jerome thought it best that I go back and live in Montreal. So he helped me get a house and get set up there.

But it was always when I was left alone that the depression I have makes an appearance. The thoughts of dying alone, always being alone, never being loved, thoughts that people don't like me, think me useless, but then Jerome would call and the thoughts would go away. Whenever he called it made me happy and made me forget all the bad things in life. That was when I realized...

I Love Jerome. And he saved me.
