It was around 7:00 ish and it was just Mark and I on the back porch. We watched as beautiful colors formed in the sky. "So, why is it that you've only accepted 2 boys to be with you?" I sigh and reply "it's kind of complicated." I look at him and he just smiles at the ground. "I guess I'm just never going to be comfortable talking about...that." Is all I say before walking inside. I walk into the kitchen to get some more lemonade. "Hey stranger." I say as Jacob walks in and grabs my wrist pulling me over to the window. "What's he doing here?" I scoff "What do you mean?" I ask him and he rolls his eyes and rushes upstairs as Mark walks in. He sat on the stool at the counter and I stood behind the counter looking down. "I really want to know." Mark said and I sighed, "Its a long statement and you'd probably get bored." He scoffs "I have all day." We sit in silence for a rough 2 minutes and I speak..."Whenever I start to show interest in someone who likes me, it starts good...We talk, we date, then...he moves on. They always leave. "It wasn't you..." I always hear it and seem to get my heart broken every time." I take a break and then speak again feeling my throat tighten up, "Its really hard....feeling like maybe if you could go back to that one time and make a different choice. Not say what you said or maybe what would happen if you never talked to him. It really...is--" I stop talking and breathe in. "Gabi, I know how it feels. I was cheated on and I never heard the end of it from all the guys at school. So just letting you know...I would never do that to you." After he said that he just walked out and left. I smiled and heard movement from the top steps. My heart beat fast. Did Jacob just hear all of that.... I thought to myself.
