Brian
I sat at my desk, trying to concentrate on my anatomy homework but failing. All I could think about was what Michelle had said earlier that day.
Does Danielle really like Kay? My mind was racing. Kay never really seemed to mind or notice Danielle at all. Of course she knew her. I mean I was dating her for Pete's sake.
The realization came crashing down on me. Maybe Danielle and Kay really didn't get along. But why? Kay was the nicest person. So why did Dani not like Kay?
I threw my pencil down and held my face in my hands, my elbows still propped up on the desk. How could this one little thing make me so stressed out? To tell you the truth, Danielle was starting to get on my nerves. I mean she's always upset when I spend time with Kay, or anyone else from the gang for that matter. I realize that I'm her boyfriend and all, but I do have other friends!
I looked up and into Kay's room. She smiled down at her phone; she was texting someone. Seeing her window open, I tapped the glass on mine and she looked up. I held up my phone and mouthed 'who?' to her. She replied by mouthing 'Jesse'.
My blood boiled. I know it shouldn't have but why couldn't she see that he's not as great as he seems. I replied with a simple 'Oh' and nodded my head. Kay turned back to her phone. Deciding to heck mine,bi saw I had seven texts from Dani. All of which said almost the same thing, 'where are you?' or 'Text me back Brian!' I had been away from her for an hour. This was ridiculous! I got up and went downstairs to consult the one person who would know what to do.
Mom.
She was in the kitchen peeling a potato over the sink.
"Hey mom?" I said stuffing my hands in my pockets.
"Hi sweetheart." She smiled.
"Mom can I ask you a question? I need some advise." I said leaning my back against the counter.
"Of course!" She put down the potato and peeler.
"Um what do you do if your not sure you love someone anymore?" I said softly.
Mom turned around and stared at me for several long moments.
"Is this about Dani?"
I nodded.
"Tell me everything."
She pulled me over to the table and sat me down. I told her all about it. From the clingy mess to Kayleen.
"Honey I know this may be hard but, I think it's time to break it off with Dani. If you're unhappy in the relationship, then you need to end it. However, she will most likely hate you if you do." She warned.
I had no idea what to do. I did want to get out of the relationship,but I didn't want Dani to hate me.
"Thanks mom." I said getting up and heading out the door. Deciding to take a walk to clear my head, I grabbed my phone and jacket and left.
The autumn air nipped at my exposed skin. I still needed to make up my mind about Dani. We've been dating since sophomore year; two full years. It may seem like nothing at all to those out of high school; but for those who are in high school, or even younger, it's a while. Yes, there have been many happy moments, but in all honesty it's been bad lately.
I've been stressed out with applying to colleges and the baseball team and this whole thing with Kay and Jesse, that I don't have the energy to listen to Dani when she calls me, trying to get me to yet another party or crying because 'Daddy wouldn't get me this' or 'Daddy wouldn't get me that.'
Last year. Dani had accused me of cheating on her with Michelle. I had been furious. Michelle was helping me with my English essay and I had been going over to her house or she came to mine to help me. Apparently, Dani didn't approve. Using her words and popularity, she clawed at Michelle and pretty soon the whole school thought I did too. If it wasn't for Diego, Kayleen, Gwyneth, and Patrick, the school would still think I had. They all explained what had happened and the school eventually calmed down. To this very day, Dani still doesn't like Michelle.
Taking a deep breath, I kicked at the leaves on the side walk.
For the first time I realized how truly unhappy I was in my relationship. Now, standing at the end of Edgar street, I made up my mind on what I was going to do.
