The Start Of Something Great

Chapter3- One bad Moment

Even though the first month was absolutely perfect, there was some sadness within the next month. About a month and a half after we had started dating my best friend confessed a secret that she had been keeping from me to protect me. One night I was sitting on my bed writing three pages of reasons as to why I love Henry to prove that I love him most. We was having an "I love you more" fight and he said "prove it" and so this is how I was proving it. While I was writing the reasons I was texting Monique and Henry. I had gotten a message from Monique asking for advice. The message read "What would you do if you knew something that would hurt someone you love if you told them?" I replied "Well that person should still tell them even if it does hurt them because they have a right to know." Of course I thought she was talking about how she should tell her boyfriend something. She sent another message saying how she is worried that she could lose that person because its her best friend. I got a weird feeling that it might be about me since I'm one of her best friends. I shook off the feeling and just told myself it was about one of her other friends, not me. I replied to her saying that if the person really is her best friend then they'll understand her point as to why she didn't say anything until now, and they'll forgive her. Once again that feeling came back and I started to get worried. Thoughts ran through my mind such as what if I was the friend she was talking about..... And if I was, was that something she was hiding a bad thing? She said it would hurt that person so what if it had something to do with Henry? I was worried more than ever and all I wanted was a message saying I put too much thought into what she had said and that it had nothing to do with me or Henry. That's all I wanted to see in her reply..... but I saw something I didn't want to see..... the exact opposite of what I wanted..... the thoughts..... the feeling that I had..... they were there because my thoughts were true. The message she sent next was something I didn't want to know. My thoughts were right..... I was that best friend she was talking about..... what she was hiding was a bad thing..... and it did have something to do with Henry..... I slowly read every word of the message she sent me. She explained that the first day Henry and I had started dating that he was talking to her. (He knew that before me and him started dating that both Monique and I liked him. But he chose me.) Well she told me what he had said in the message he sent to her the first day of our new relationship. He had told her that he did like her even though I was his girlfriend. She also said that multiple times he would tell her that she's pretty and beautiful whenever she said she's not. Even know it wasn't something big this hurt me a lot and I was devastated. I know Monique is prettier then me, funnier then me, and just better then me in general, but I didn't want my boyfriend to think that too. I just bursted into tears, and I couldn't stop crying. Most of my relationships in the past always had situations like this. My ex Justin wanted Nicole while he was dating me, my ex Kenny flirted with Lillian, and now my current boyfriend flirted and liked Monique. For the past month and a half I had always believed that me and Henry would be together forever with no doubt. I mean of course I still believe that just as much as I had before. But now I find myself constantly thinking about what if he finds someone else he likes..... what if she's prettier, funnier, nicer, and just so much better then me..... I've never had those thoughts but now I do. That night I called him crying, asking him why he would do this to me. He explained that he didn't tell me because he didn't want me to leave him and he promised it would never happen again. He said he won't ever find someone better then me because there is no one and he only loves me. And I believed every word he said because I know it is true and he means it.
