Excerpt from a Book I will Never Write

115

"I know I will never make this right, and I'm sorry for ruining all the chances you gave me."
"I still really want to punch you in the face."
"you can if you want to."

i had been dating this boy for a few months and began to feel off about the relationship. i asked him if I could have a little space for awhile until i sorted things out. he then accused me of cheating on him, saying his friends had seen me do it, and that if I wanted to break up with him i should just do it. i never cheated on him and i didn't want to break up, and i told him that. a week went by and he was still accusing me of cheating. then a few days later i found out from two mutual friends that he had hooked up with his ex (who was in a relationship too) and had asked another girl for a blowjob, while other mutual friends were still in the room. he spent the next three months trying to fix what he had done, but i could never fully forgive him. its been about two years since, and i still want to punch him in the face.
