Love lost

Short story

A story

Not long ago I was played by a kid I didn't think would cheat. Obviously I was wrong, I started working at a Resort and when school started I wasn't getting enough hours, so I transfered. Which I met him while bussing tables in the restaurant, but I didn't think of him any other way than just a friend. I had worked there for a couple weeks and he added me on Facebook, then randomly messaged me a couple times.

We became closer friends over the half year I worked there, then I started dating a guy I was really happy with. We dated for around three months but it later ended, and Luke the first guy was there for me I couldn't figure out why. When the end of school came around I was getting more hours at my other job, so I wanted to quit the restaurant. I told Luke I was quitting soon and he told me I shouldn't but I did anyway. I was getting 12 hour shifts every day working both which was way too much at 17.

A couple months later I was asked to help in the restaurant, and I saw him working which started him randomly messaging me again.
Then he finally confessed to me that he has had a crush on me since I had started working there. Which I never noticed until now how much he would go out of his way to talk and flirt with me. I should have known better messaging him back, because he just broke up with a girl a couple weeks prior.

I wasn't really thinking about much of anything except I was getting his attention. We talked and sent snapchats back and forth for a couple months. We finally hung out for the first time outside of work. I ended up wrecking my car, by sliding on a gravel turn and almost going into a reservoir. I was scared out of my mind but he kept saying "it's okay, we're okay, I'm okay, you're okay" which was when I realized I actually did really like him.

I talked to him everyday for three months I felt like he liked me back as much as I had began to like him. But boy was I wrong, he began to try and get sexual which I'm no virgin but I am not easy either. I started getting the vibe sex was the only thing he was after so I started to test the waters of getting into an actual relationship. He began to act weird and depressed it really confused me as to why.

I was later on put into a situation I was not comfortable with. I was driving in town and when I parked my car my ex boyfriend parked in front of me and began asking me to hangout with him. I couldn't just deny him and be an ass because our friend Hailey was the one who actually wanted me to hangout. I got in the vehicle like I was asked to, I was also texting Luke, I told him I was having anxiety being around my ex and that I felt I was going to cry if I didn't get myself out of the situation.

Then Hailey began telling me that Luke had been flirting with her and she felt like he was going to ask her to date. I was kinda mad but I couldn't confess to talking to Luke to make tension between my ex. There became an awkward silence until Hannah said "Dean why does Luke hate you?" He looked back at me, pointed and said "because Luke is fucking her." I was beyond mad because we weren't sleeping together and I had nothing to do with why Luke hated Dean.

I looked at him and said "who told you I was sleeping with him because I am not." He wouldn't tell me so that made me want out of the vehicle even more. I ended up asking Luke why he was telling people we were sleeping together when we in fact were not. He said he told his friends we were talking and they told people we were sleeping together. I then asked him if he liked Hailey because it seemed like it. He ended up getting mad at me and started no longer answering my questions.

We stopped talking for a couple days, even though I tried really hard to get him to reply. He wouldn't talk to me and then when he started again it was kinda vague and not really making sense. I kept asking him why he was acting weird toward me and he would just stop replying and get angry.

We started getting closer again and he finally told me why he was so mad at me. He told me he was mad because he felt I was still in love with Dean and was using him as a rebound. Which was not the case Dean had dumped me for another girl I guess you could say he found better than me the whole time. I was over being played by him I honestly wanted nothing to do with him.

So Luke and I began talking more until he randomly told me he couldn't talk he was hanging out with a friend. I didn't think much about it and I need to do something to get my mind off him. So I decided I would invited my friend Bri to come to my house so we could start a bonfire and drink.

I got so hammered that I projectile puked in my bathroom. Never drinking again (just kidding) but the next day I was helping my mom clean up the mess I had made. As I was picking up beer bottles I got on instagram and was scrolling through the picture and came across a picture that pissed me off beyond compare. It was a picture of a girl I went to school with on Luke's lap.

I wasn't even mad at her I was so mad at him though. I commented on the picture and put "that's cute ✌️️" because I wasn't going to start anything with a girl I really didn't know. I messaged Luke and said "thanks for leading me on btw." He didn't reply which I didn't think he would.

I sent him the picture of them that was taken and also said "like wtf why would you fuck with my feelings like that. Like it fucking hurts being played." He still wouldn't reply and I didn't go to school the next day because I was hung over. A guy I'm friends with ended up telling the girl that Luke was talking to me already.

Which I then found out they had actually started dating the day he told me he couldn't talk because he was with a friend. They only dated three days before she broke up with him and he messaged me blaming me for them breaking up. Like how was it my fault she agreed with me on how fucked up him talking to her and I at the same time was.

Moral of the story don't date a guy you suspect of being a fuck boy (or seeing signs of him being a fuckboy.) I'm so glad I'm over that douche and I'm really happy in my current situation ☺️☺️
