My name is Sophia Walker. Three years ago, my boyfriend Jimmy Rivers died.
Since then? I'm coping with his death. I have moved on.. I have a new boyfriend of a year now. His name is Barry Martin.
"Hey, babe. Let's watch the news." Barry tells me as he walks into the living room of our 3 room apartment.
We turn on the news.
"Breaking news: The city of Vansumpton has a new
suspected to be Jimmy Rivers." I flinch at the mention of his name and instantly turn the tv off.
Barry gives me a worried look and puts a hand on my back.
"What's wrong, Sophia?" He asks.
I never really told him about Jimmy. I never really wanted to. I was dating Jimmy, and then next thing I knew he died. His mother told me it was a car accident. I even went to his funeral for crying out loud. I saw him. He was dead.
"I uh.. I knew Jimmy. I dated Jimmy. I was dating him, until one morning I got a call from his mother that he was dead. She informed me about his funeral, and assured me that everything was going to be okay. I believed her. Oh man, it wasn't just because I wanted to believe her. I believed her because she's the kind of woman that speaks the truth. All the way. I never had a reason to think otherwise." I told Barry.
"Wait.. So Jimmy is dead?" He asks softly.
I nod.
He sighs. "Fake news." He says to the TV.
I sigh too.
He pulls me into him and I rest my head on his chest. We lay like this for almost the entire night. That is until I feel his arms tighten around me as he lifts me up into his arms and carries me to bed.
'Fake news.." Is my last thought before I drift off into a peaceful slumber
