Spin the Bottle

Chapter 6

Jenna lifted up a trash bag with his stuff in it.

"Leave, I said."

"Fine, but let me get the rest of my stuff."

He walked into the other room to grab his stuff, but it was all already in boxes. He still didn't officially break up with Jenna. He wondered what would happen to him if he broke up with her now. Instead, he grabbed his boxes and stuffed them into the back of his car. He went back inside to make sure that he wasn't missing anything. After he checked, he went back into the kitchen where Jenna was sitting.

"I can't hurt you like you hurt me yesterday, but I'll leave something that hurts just as bad."

"What do you mean? If you break up with me, I know where you're going. I know where you live. I know you cheated on me."

"I didn't-"

"Don't lie to me, Tyler. I know you did. Josh fucked you so hard that you're walking oddly when you came home. How was it? Does he do better than me? Does he feel better? Why? Why, Tyler?"

Tyler got so overwhelmed with questions from Jenna when he broke, "I'm gay, Jenna. Okay? Are you happy now? You wanted the truth. Have the truth. Have as much as you want. I've always been in a relationship with Josh for years now. This wasn't the first time I've cheated on you. Ever since you started hitting me, I was with Josh more. The fact that you're only seeing this now is beyond me." Tears were streaming down his cheeks. He slowly let down his guard and fell into the chair on the other side of the table. Without Tyler noticing, Jenna got up and threw him onto the floor. She kicked his head and his stomach. Tyler couldn't stop crying. His black eye was pulsing and his nose was bleeding everywhere. Still crying, he scrambled to his feet.

"Where do you think you're going?" Jenna said grabbing the collar of his shirt.

"You asked me to leave," Tyler said pulling off his shirt, "So that's what I'm doing."

Jenna lost her balance and fell back, still holding onto Tyler's shirt that was now off of him. Tyler ran out of the door and into his car. He still hadn't broken up with her.

Tyler: I need help.

Josh: What's wrong? Are you okay?

T: I'm trying to drive away, but I still haven't broken up with her.

J: Are you fucking kidding me, kid? What happened then?

T: I came out.

J: You fucking dumbass. Are you kidding me? You came out to her? Why the fuck would you do that?

T: Not really. I just told her that I've been cheating on her with you for a long time now.

J: Of course you had to drag me into this.

T: It's fine, she's not going to come for you...

J: Okay then come here. I'll let you move in.
