Three is A Crowd

I Wasn't Always Like This.....

I wasn't always like this.....

I used to have a boyfriend (yes only one) and he was perfect. His name doesn't really matter but I loved him with all my heart.

He was as fit as Carl, as organized as Jacob, and as sweet as Matt. We dated for all four years of high school. And then....well something happened and I lost him. I lost my one and only true love because of a stupid mistake and I will never get him back.

I still remember the first time we met. It was freshman year and.......

************************************************

I can't believe I'm in high school.

The nasty cafeteria food, the horrible teachers, and the unsanitary bathrooms......Oh I love it all.

I've only been here for 3 months but I've already made a lot of friends. Sandy and Chelsea are the best. We've been joined at the hip since the first day.

Oww!!

I wasn't paying attention and I bumped into someone while I was daydreaming. In the process of falling I dropped all of my books onto the floor.

Great!

I quickly scramble to get my stuff off the floor when I see a someone hand me my french binder.

I was not expecting to see HIM when I looked up.

He had these eyes that were so green that they were almost uncanny. His brown hair was perfectly messed up. I really wanted to put my hands through it. And he was fit......like......super fit. His white t-shirt was so tight that you could count his abs (six of course)

"I think you dropped this." He said. His voice was deep and a little groggy due to it only being 7:30.

"Um....t-thanks"

Come on Marley! Get it together!

"I mean- sorry for bumping into to you." He smirked as if I said something funny.

"It's okay I think we're all kinda have a case of the Mondays."

The Mondays? Who says that anymore?

"Uh- yeah" Come on Marley use you words.

"What's your name?" The question took me by surprise. It took my a few seconds to realise what he was asking me.

"Marley. Marley Cutwater."

"Marley? Like the dead dog movie?"

"Excuse me?" What movie is he talking about?

"You've never seen Marley and Me?"

"Um.....no?" Is this a bad thing?

"Well maybe I can watch the movie with you?" I looked up at him in shocked. He looked serious. His beautiful green seemed hopeful.

"Um...I'd like that" I said

"How about today? Afterschool?"

"But I just meet you and I don't even know your name."

He smiled really wide showing off his bright white teeth.

"Oh my name? If I told you I'd have to kill you."

************************************************

I woke up to the bed moving.

Reluctantly I opened my eyes to see a half-naked Carl pulling his pants on.

"Where are you going?" I asked still waking up.

"Out" He said emotionlessly.

"Really Carl are you seriously gonna do this again?" He does this all the time. He comes over, we have sex, he leaves. What kind of relationship is that?

"What kind of girlfriend dates three guys at one time?" My conscious says.

"I know I know I'm a crappy girlfriend." I told myself

"Do WHAT again Marley?" Carl yelled. I could see his eyes slowly darken.

I sighed, frustrated that we were going to get into the same argument we've had millions of times before. "Every time you come over, we argue, we have sex, and then you leave. And the ONE time I think it was going to be different; that you were actually put so effort in and try you do it again. I'm so sick of this Carl!"

He looked really pissed like what I said was the most horrible thing in the world. He bolted to my side of the bed and held me down onto the mattress. One of his hands held my arms above my head while the other was around my necks.

"Do you understand how LUCKY you are to have me? Huh Marley?" His grip tightened and it was starting to get hard to breath. I tried to get out of his grip but it was no use. He was too strong. "Do you know how many girls throw themselves on me everyday? Beautiful women! And look at what I'm stuck with. A pathetic piece of trash."

A single tear rolled down my check and not because he was hurting me (which he was) but because of what he said. I am a pathetic piece of trash.

Finally, after to what felt like forever, he released me. While I was gasping for air I could feel his gray eyes piercing into me. When I finally built up the courage to stare all there was was guilt in them.

"Marley I'm so-"

"Yeah you're sorry...I know"

"Marley..."

"Just leave Carl."

"Mar-"

"Go!"

He stares at me for one last second hoping that I may change but I don't budge. Finally he gives up and leaves the bedroom. I hear his footsteps walk down the stairs and then a few seconds later I hear the front door open and close.

I don't know how long I can deal with Carl.
