Becca,

I am going crazy.

Why can't I forget about her. Anything I think about just leads me back to her. Nothing makes her go away. I don't even think she feels the way I am right now. It makes me so mad that I am the one who got destroyed in this relationship. Why me? What did I do to deserve this? Why can't anything right happen in my life?

I can't seem to move on. It's like a bad addiction that doesn't seem to have a cure.

99 days before Graduation

When I was ten I had a bad habit of biting my nails. Everyone said it only takes a couple of weeks to break a bad habit. It has been thirty days without Summer. So tell me this; why is she first thing I think about when I wake and the last thing I think about when I go to sleep. Why can't I break this habit?

Summer plagued my thoughts, but I do not think she even thought about me after the break up. I still saw her at school and each time it still felt like a punch in the gut. She looked the same. Her long dark hair still cascaded down her back. Her almond shaped orbs still sparkled. Her chin still tilted up in defiance and her skin was still that radiant olive color. She looked unscathed while I was left alone to wallow in my own self pity.

Nate would often stop by my house to see how I was doing and each time I would act as if the break was not affecting me. I would invite Olivia over almost every weekend since my break up and she was a nice distraction.

"Aiden, can you turn up the volume." Liv asked as she engrossed herself into the film. I have to say at first Liv's presence was kind of irritating but after a while she began to grow on me. When my mom would see Liv in the house she would give me a few disapproving looks before she left to do whatever it is she did in her free time.

"Yea, actually here's the remote. I'm going to get a snack from the pantry." I get up from the couch and hand her the remote.

"Can you grab me some swedish fish." my heart twists when she says that. Swedish fish were Summer's favorite candy. Despite the discomfort in my chest I nod.

As I walk away my phone buzzes, I pull it out of my pocket to see that I have a text from Jake. What could he possibly want right now?

"Nate's birthday bash is on at 9 be there or be square."

Sh!t it was Nate's birthday and I had not wished him. I was an awful best friend. Despite Nate being a mother hen for the past month, he was still a great guy. I quickly shoot Nate a happy birthday text and respond to Jake.

"Oh I am going to be there, you guys got all the refreshments covered?"

Less than a minute later Jake responds:

"We gooood, just bring urself."

I put my phone back into my pocket and open the pantry door. I grab some pringles and the giant bag filled with swedish fish. As I look at the bag I think of Summer. I bought this for her on one of our many dates.

It was the middle of the night and we had made a late night stop at Walmart.

"Why would anyone need this much swedish fish?" I laugh as she puts the enormous bag into the cart
