*Holds the phone in front of my face while I FaceTime my mother*
"Mommy!" I am crying desperate tears of sadness.
"What happened, sweetheart?"
"I can't stop the pain! Make it stop, please!" I begged her, overwhelmed by the sorrow of losing Jake. Or better yet, not being able to be with him.
"What is wrong, why are you crying?"
"I need Jake in my life, mommy! Please tell Dad to let me have him. If he doesn't, Jake will never be in my life! Please, I beg you! The pain is too much for me to bear!" I unraveled in never-ending tears in front of my mother, who looked worried about my mental state.
"Oh, baby! I am so sorry that you are in pain!" She felt sorry for me, completely wrecked for my sake. This has never happened before in my life.
"Mommy! Please, make it stop! I can't stop crying from too much pain!" I cried desperate tears of the insurmountable ache I was feeling. I will never move on from this. I don't think I can. He will always be 'the one that got away'. I am not doing well. My mother looked troubled for me. She could see my desperation over the cell phone screen.
In reality, I should have chatted with my father, but I don't think that would make much of a difference. At least with my mom, I know that she listens to me. I know that she cares. *sobs*

I am so confused.
When I listen to Skylar talk about me in the cafeteria in between our meals, it is like he is talking about a different person altogether. I mean, I was there for everything that he talked about. He never lied or exaggerated the truth - I was totally about to pounce on Susan for throwing herself at him that Saturday in Boulder - but it still feels weird somehow.
I keep hearing the effects of my presence in his life and how I changed him for the better.
Honestly, we did not have that many interactions for him to be speaking of me like that.
