Amanda

6 months.

I can't believe it as well.

Things between Austin and I are still shaky but we pushing, we fine. What is a couple without fights and ignoring each other here and there, but we good. Infact, he took me out me yesterday. Things are great.

It's currently the 3rd week of December holidays and schools are closing for good.

It's only a week left, dear.

Unfortunately, I'm forced to visit these holidays so Austin and I won't see each other.We chat daily though.

Spicy:

I miss you already babe. Do you think we could meet before you leave for university when I get back that side?

Hot stuff:

Yeah.

Spicy:

What have been up to that side? It's been while.

Hot stuff:

Nothing. Just partying.

Spicy:

I can't wait to come back and see you. I'm so proud that you going to the university of your dreams.

Hot stuff:

Yep.

I'm startled when Maggie speaks from behind me. "You still talking to that guy?" Maggie says. Yep! Maggie is here as well, infact all my cousins came out to visit my grandmother, its stuffy and a full house, but we are a tight knit family so it's cool.

I roll my eyes. "Yes, Maggie, I do talk to my boyfriend on a regular basis."

"You do realise that it's You that always starts a conversation, it's You that calls him, it's always You!" I could hear the frustration and anger in her voice but unfortunately I don't understand what she is trying to say.

Fed up, I stand up to her height. "And your point is?" I'm sick and tired of Maggie questioning my relationship. She needs to realise this is not her relationship.

"My point is that this guy is just dragging you along, he's manipulator and is deceiving you. Don't you see! He is manipulating you." She pants. "Tell me you love as much as you first met him. Tell me you don't feel insecure about your relationship with him. Tell me that everything is still the same and there is no shift that you feel. Tell me you still love him. Aren't you hurt? Or sick of his attitude?"

I can't tell her all those things because...she's right.

My head held high, I look her straight in the eyes. "You are wrong, and I love him." She shakes her head slightly as if not believing the nonsense spewing out my mouth. "Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to be alone. Please."

She casts her eyes down, "I'm sorry for involving myself in your business and from now on I'll keep my nose out of your business but I want to say one more thing. I understand sticking around is in your nature and tolerating bad behaviour, but he is taking advantage of that, and you know it."

"Thank you. That's all I ask from you." She steps out the room without spearing me a look and without another word.

I sit back down on the bed, slowly the tears trail down my face. You are right Maggie. I am insecure. I do feel the shift between him and I. I do feel like he is deceiving me. But, I love him.

What are you doing to me Austin.

Wow. That was a lot let out by Maggie and Amanda there. What do you guys think Amanda should do? I mean this is a lot, no one should feel like this in any relationship.
