It has been 11 months since I found out Travis tried to commit suicide and put himself in a coma. It happened because Lucinda used a love potion on me and I cheated on him. Lucinda kept apologizing for what happened and said that she only did it because she knew I'd never feel the same way without a nudge. Nobody had told her Travis and I were dating and after 5 months of her apologizing I fell for her because I knew I needed to move on. I was just informed that Travis is out of his coma, he almost died because I cheated on him and now I am dating someone else. How am I going to face him now, now that I have a girlfriend. How can I look into those loving eyes and tell him I left him for the one that almost killed him. I don't know if I can go to the hospital like he requested and tell him I no longer love him. I can't tell him I no longer love him because I do, but I love Lucinda too. I'm being pulled in two different directions, and by choosing one I know I'll loose the other forever. I wonder how different my life would be depending on who I choose. I look into the distance and my eyes glaze over like they do on TV shows when characters think about things.

Travis future
"Wake up baby" I hear a whisper in my ear, I turn towards Travis and smile. "Morning" I say, pulling the comforter off my shoulders and giving him a quick kiss before hopping out of bed. I pull out a plain blue bra and matching panties "nooo" Travis whines "no clothes, naked day." I roll my eyes "Travis we can't have a naked day, we're going to the hospital for the ultrasound today. I really want our first baby to be a girl, I want to name her Cindy." He raises his eyebrows "Cindy, that's an interesting name. What makes you like that name?" I blush and turn away, it has nothing to do with the fact I miss someone in my life, since they never forgave me after I broke her heart. "Please tell me you aren't thinking about 'her', you promised you'd stop" he says sympathetically with a hint of aggression.  Why does he do that he knows I feel guilty about breaking her heart, she thinks I dated her to get my mind off of Travis. I know it's been 5 years, but I can't help but feel guilty. She still hasn't gotten together with anyone because I made her resent women and she's a lesbian so she has no one she likes. I've seen her in stores and she always looks miserable and sick. It started going down hill for her as soon as I broke up with her, she stayed inside for weeks at a time and never let anyone into her house. She really did like me and I left her to be with another.

Lucinda future
"Ughhhh" I moan, my head hurts so bad, need aspirin. I open my eyes and moan in pain, light hurts. My head is killing me and I feel so nauseous, to much liquor last night. Why do I even drink, Lucinda wraps her arms around me, oh yeah that's why I drink. "Morning Luci" I whisper to her, since she probably has a hangover worse than mine because she drank like twice the amount I did. "Hey Katelyn" she whispers and pulls me around to give me a kiss. "I had fun last night... I think" I say "I don't remember anything, though I don't remember most nights." She rolls her eyes "Katelyn, where's your sense of adventure you need to lighten up." I get out of bed and say "I do lighten up, every night," I turn around and Lucinda pins me to the wall. "Ah is baby Katelyn upset," I roll my eyes and Lucinda presses her lips against mine. I wrap my arms around her waist and I feel hers snake around my neck, pushing herself even closer to me. All of the sudden my phone ring, I start to go to it but Lucinda pushes me back up against the wall. "Ignore it" Lucinda says and goes to kiss me again, but I push her off "Lucinda, I had a job interview a week ago that's probably them." She sighs and let's me go, so I pick up my phone, "Hello" I say. "Katelyn?" "Who is this" "It's uh... Travis." I almost drop my phone in shock "Travis, how did you get my number?" I hiss, Lucinda looks at me with shock and sits down next to me on the bed. "I found it in Aphmau's  phone" I feel my eyes start to sting with tears and I don't want Lucinda to see it so I get up and start pacing. "Travis don't call this number ever again, I'm blocking you" I say angrily "please Katel" I cut him off by hanging up. Why does he keep trying to contact me, he makes it so hard.

Hey!!!! I know at least 10 people read each of my chapters, so in the comments tell me who Katelyn should pick, I need opinions!!!
