Stage 1 denial

He was joking.......right? This must all be some misundstanding I could never actually break up with him. When I said revenge it was in the heat of the moment. But it was some stupid anniversary prank right? People do that all the time on youtube, he must have filmed me. But....why would he do that? He knows I hate pranks and for him to do it anyway hurts.

I have to go figure out what happened yesterday. I have to talk to him.

Dialing....Jalen

Hey its Jalen sorry I missed your call but I'll call you back later *Beep*

Oh voicemail....thats cool, thats cool I guess. "Hey um.....I just want to talk about what happened yesterday so um...call me when you can" 

Call ended

Well thats okay right? My sister has a performance today anyway, I don't have time to talk with Jalen.

Gina is doing a remake of Romeo and Juliet. She plays Juliet so today is really big. Now I finally know what those black pointe shoes were for, they match her costume!

Gina is doing so great...wow I never realized her pointe work was that good. Probably because you only ever paid attention to Jalen. What?where did that come from? No it isn't. Yes it is. Okay so maybe it it but....why? I don't know I'm just your concience, ask your heart.

When I thought about it, it didn't make sense, they both matter so much to me.

*Applause* What it's over? I slowly started clapping hoping for an encore. I missed the encore too. Gina probably noticed I wasn't watching her dance because when I went to congratulate her she just said "How would you know I did a good job if you didn't even watch? " Then she left with Mom and Dad. Which brings me back to why I don't pay as much attention to Gina as I do Jalen. Because this is a clear example.

*At home*

*I'm a boss a*s b*tch b*tch b*tch b*tch b*tc* "Hello" I answered my phone. Cool ringtone right? "Um hi....you called earlier?" Oh....it's Jalen. " Yeah why did you pull that awful prank on me, especially in public?" I asked. "Jazz....." He paused for a long time as if scared that if he said something it'd hurt my feelings. "Jazz that...wasn't a prank" he finished. "..." "Jazz?" He asked me. "Thats really not funny" I said finally" "Jazz I'm telling I'm being serious, I'm breaking up with you, I found someone else." He said again. "Good bye.....Jalen" I said. "No Jazz don't-"

Call ended

I cut him off. Was he really trying that hard to make me believe it? No if he's really serious, I'll go down to his house and see him with another girl.

I decided to ride my skateboard to his house since it's not that far.

I love the way you lie. I sang that song for about ten minutes before I arrived at his house. I know he keeps his keys. I reached into the lamp next to his door. I unscrewed the bulb and took out the key. I slowly opened the door so he wouldn't hear me. Then I snuck down the hall and next to his bedroom door. "Surprise motherf*cker!!!" I yelled. And then bam, like a smack in the face I saw it. Now you probably think they were you know or making out. But they were doing something much more saddening...to me at least. They were playing me and Jalen's game, the one that we played on our first date, and the one we used to play for our anniversary. Notice how I said used to.

"Wow....I didn't believe you before but, I guess now I know you weren't lying" I whispered. Then I ran as fast as I could out of that house. I didn't ride my skateboard back home I just kept running. Well, at least now you know he wasn't lying. Yeah I guess.
