Fifteen

After breakfast, I took a shower. It felt strange taking a shower in a stranger's home. It was difficult working the shower, I didn't know which way was hot or which way was cold, and it was so small compared to mine. 

After my shower, i got dressed in a plain black t-shirt, black jeans, and combat boots. Tyler was waiting for me to leave, so he was taking a  shower. I sat on his bed, scrolling through my phone when I heard his ding. 

I turned his phone on and saw that he got a text. I didn't want to look, but curiosity got to me. 

His password was easy, it was 1234. When I unlocked his phone I opened up the notification and read the text. 

I couldn't believe it. 

The text was very flirtatious, so were the texts he sent them. I felt my stomach fall, and my heart shatter. My eyes began to burn with tears and a lump in my throat began to form. I put his phone down and left his room. I need air. I need a break.

I walked out of the house and onto the porch. I let out a deep breath I didn't know I as holding. 

I stepped off the porch and sat on the step. I put my face in my hands and held in my tears.

My boyfriend, the boy I loved so dearly, the boy who made me feel happy and special was talking to other people like I don't even exist. 

I must have sat there for a while because Tyler came out and sat next to me. 

"Hey josh, what are you doing out here?" His voice sounded so innocent like he did nothing. 

I didn't respond. 

"Josh..." Tyler said nudging me a bit. 

I didn't respond. 

How do I respond? 

I can't just say that I unlocked his phone and saw the texts. 

"Josh come on what's wrong?" 

I picked my head and looked at Tyler.

His face went from neutral to worried.

"Josh, were you crying? Your eyes are red and puffy, what's wrong-" 

"Tyler you know what you did" I cut him off, feeling all my emotions spill out. My voice had rage in it. The lump in my throat formed again. 

"What do you mean?" Tyler's voice filled with fear and worry. 

stop josh, you're scaring tyler

I regret not listening to my mind.
