False Love

So I guess I should start by introducing myself.l I’m Catalina Monroy, just turned 16 not to long ago. My boyfriend of 4 years dumped me in May for his brother’s girlfriend. She is no sight for sore eyes. She has red hair, chinese eyes, and looks like a sumo wrestler exploded, but that’s not what my story is about. It’s about Jake, Jake Somerz.

  It was the fourth of July ( I know typical scenario for a huge romance story) my family had just got back from watching fireworks. When my family and I got home we were waiting for my mom’s boyfriend to get there. Aaron ( my mom’s boyfriend ) is a semi driver, and went to Arizona to pick up Jerry’s son Jake. It was getting late, and I was about to go to bed. Finally they burst through the door I wasn’t really looking forward to Aaron being home. I was more hoping for California fireworks.

  Then it happened that magical moment… Jake walked in. No I’m totally kidding I didn’t even notice him come in. I didn’t want to talk to any guy, because at that time he wasn’t important. I told myself not to even talk to him. Aaron came out of the bedroom and told me to get Jake. Just great I thought to myself, right after I tell myself not to bother this happens.  I thought I could avoid this from happening.

  When I get outside he was helping the kids with the sparklers

“Jake!, umm Aaron want you.” I sounded nervous.

“Okay I’ll be right in.” he said.

At that moment I had got a glimpse of his face. His eyes were beautiful, ocean blue. That’s all I saw at the time. When I got inside my pizza rolls were done, so I sat inside watching 21 Jump Street.

  Jake came in and asked me why I wasn’t outside. I lied and said  didn’t want to be. He nodded nonchalantly, and went into the next room to talk to Aaron. Now, I wasn’t even paying attention to the movie. Jake suddenly consumed my train of thought. He’s tall, sun kissed skin with black hair and blue eyes, and he looked tone. Ugh! what am I doing thinking about him I can’t be doing this already he even has a girlfriend. I didn’t want to see him again that night so I just went to sleep.

  The next morning I wake up to the sound of hammering in the garage, so I look outside my window… dear God he is here again  I’m not even dressed yet. I turned my radio on, and started to jamming out like I do every morning to get ready. Out of no where Aaron screams my name to come down stairs. When I get down stairs Jake is the first person I see leaning on the wall by the staircase. Aaron tells me that I need to walk Jake to his semi up by the fairgrounds to get his keys. I offered to go alone , but Aaron insists on Jake coming. Why was he doing this he knows I don’t want to get involved with guys, and he is pushing this one at me.

  Jake and I started walking to the semi all I could think was “ If you don’t talk he won’t talk to you.” Not even a minute goes by and he starts talking to me.

“Why are you so quiet?” he asked

“I don’t know” I said trying to make him not talk to me.

“Do you not like me?” he asked.

“I don’t even know you” I said feeling that that might’ve been harsh.

It was quiet for a couple of minutes and finally I asked him.

“How old are you?”

“I’m 19. How old are you, 17 right?” He said with an adorable little smirk

“No I’m 16” I couldn’t help but think that he would think I’m too young to be hanging around him.

“Why are you walking like you have a pole up your ass? Relax okay”
