As the gentle rays of yellow light caressed my cheeks...the birds flew high in the sky, looking down at us, sleeping soundly in our warm beds...
Then...the gentle light became more intense... and shined in MY FUCKING EYES, OW OW OW!!!
Ugh... I hate that!
It was my first day of summer! Awesome, vacation time!!
"GIO EARNED: A BREAK! LEVEL UP!!"
...Not really!
I had to study three subjects during the summer, because I...sorta failed them! Oopsies...
"PENALTY! -300 GOLD!!"
Oh well, I at least deserved a week of doing nothing at all!
Summer, no school, and me and Jackie were free to talk all we wanted!
...R-right...?
...shit, that's not gonna be it, is it...?
...yes, indeed, that wasn't the case as she got a small job, doing some work for her mom, and was pretty busy!
We still talked, but sheesh!
With time, we got used to her job and were happy with how things were.
...but of course, things never work out, since her smaller (and yes, much older cousins, who didn't bother anyone, really) stayed at her house, to visit her family!
So she had even less free time and was often stressed...
... And who could blame her...?
During this period, Jackie was always so stressed and tired...
She just couldn't take it all in, and...and cut herself...
Just...really harsh and big scratches, no actual cuts. Still, those weren't okay at all... I managed to make her promise to stop.
It took time but she stopped and eventually lost interest in cutting completely! I still, always made sure her arms weren't all cut up...
With that behind us, we were both happy when her cousins left!
...but...well, fuck!
Her...
HER...
HER....
HER EX BOYFRIEND CAME BY TO VISIT HER...
"LEVEL DO- LEVEL DOW-LE-LE-LEVEL-LEVEL DOWN!!"
Ho...ly shit....
...
You can't imagine the pain...the pain and paranoia I felt...
Jackie... Her ex... Together again...
My mind filled itself with imagery and scenarios in which she cheated on me...
My own mind was killing me from the inside out...
The pain never stopped...
I was so jealous... I cut myself worse than ever... I screamed at myself to calm down...
...it was hell...
...until Jackie explained.
Apparently the two were...just friends! They called eaxh other bf and gf just for fun! Nothing romantic at all!
That really made me feel so much better... She couldn't have any way to cheat on me... Because for one, she would never! And also, they weren't ever romantically attached!
...still, the ex messaged me and was a dick...
Grr... He taunted me about how I was so far away from her, and he was so close! I brushed it off, but I knew he was leaving soon...so that cheered me up!
This has gone for long enough...quite a depressing part, huh?
...expect more, soon.
See you in the next chapter...!
