I sat on the couch, trying to ignore the yelling that was coming from Jack and his girlfriend Kerri. They fought all the time, but this time, it seemed like a bigger deal. I could hear various shouts of "You never make time for me!" and "I have other important things going on right now!" One specific accusation caught my attention though. "It's moments like this when I can't help but wonder if you are cheating on me!" Kerri shouted. I froze in my seat and Daniel, who was sitting next to me, turned to me with a confused look on his face. "What? Are you ok?"
"Yeah." I lied, twisting the promise ring on my left hand. "I just remembered that my sister is picking something up from my apartment and I need to be there to give it to her."
Daniel shrugged as I stood up. As I left the room, I heard various goodbyes from the other boys and the ever persistent shouts from Jack and Kerri. I sat in my car, fighting back tears. I rested my elbows on the steering wheel and my head in my hands. I sat for a moment in my hot car before coming to the realization that the boys would be weirded out if they looked out the window and saw me sitting on the driveway in my car. I took a deep breath and blinked my eyes a couple times to keep the tears in. After I drove back to my apartment, I flopped onto my bed and let my self cry. Thinking about my promise ring.
A few months ago, I finally got enough courage to admit to Jack that I liked him. He told me that he liked me too and I figured that we could maybe start dating or something, but, it was on that same day that I found out about his girlfriend. Kerri.
A few days later, Jack told me that he still liked me, even though he was dating Kerri but he didn't know how to dump her. I also made a promise to myself, that I wouldn't let myself become the 'other girl.' I wasn't going to let Jack cheat on Kerri. I was better than that.
Then, about a month after, Jack pulled me aside while we were watching a movie with the other boys.
He showed me the promise ring and said, "This ring is a reminder of the promise I am making right now. I promise that we will be together someday. Maybe not any time soon, but I will wait as long as you do too. Someday, I will be broken up with Kerri and you will be out there too and we will find each other and we can be together. No matter what happens, we will have someday."
Now, as I cried on my bed, thinking about how Jack would be happier with me, I tried to remind myself that no matter what, we would always have someday.
(A/n: I don't know if I like this or not, but my 11:30-at-night self thought it was adorable)
