ROSES & THORNES

Lost puppy

I was beyond confused, and I did not know what to believe. Even Ben and Jerry couldn't help me. I hated the stupid girl that I became. I let my walls down for just a few seconds, and in the blink of an eye I had gotten hurt all over again.

I wanted to tell Meredith and Sarah, but for some reason that I couldn't even begin to explain, I was ashamed. I didn't want them to know that I let another guy break my heart. I was Abby Marx. The Abby Marx that they knew and love did not cry. And she sure as hell did not cry over the opposite sex.

Yet here I was with a box of tissues, puffy eyes, and a bad headache. All thanks to some stupid guy.

But could I really blame him? Although it made me gag to even think about, he and Serena had history. A history of makeups and breakups way before I came along. And I somehow got caught up in the mix and changed the game. They were done for good, at least that's what he said. So, should I really be angry? Clearly he wanted to be with me now. But did I want to be with him? Should I be with him? I was so lost and confused, and didn't know what to think.

Kim came over to work on our project afterschool. We were already half way done. "So you decided to skip after all huh?"

"Something came up." I said simply. Before she came, I hid all evidence of crying. I even put on some makeup to hide my blowfish face. The last thing I wanted was to be chewed out by her.

"Yeah. Sure." She'd just printed off our work's cited page and was barely paying me any mind.

A hour or two later, we were calling it a night. "See you tomorrow cry baby."

"I don't know what you are talking about."

She rolled her eyes and headed out. "Sure you don't."
