I'm Straight...

20.

Moving back in the dorms was a bit sad. I wanted to stay home and pester my mom. Max was helping me unpack. She knew I was sad. After we finished she hugged me. "I'm sorry Amelia" she's the only person I let call me Amelia. Anyone else has to call me Amy. She kissed my lips softly and grabbed my neck. I pinned her and said "No sex. My body is staring to ache." She grabbed my waist "So you're not hurting yet is what I'm hearing" I sighed "Max leave" she was taken back "I'm upset right now and you don't understand that so leave. Go to your room."

She looked so broken when I said that. "Ok" she got up and I grabbed her arm "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please don't leave me." She sat down and it was silent she pulled me into a tight embrace. She kissed my forehead and said "I just don't know what to do." She pulled back and looked at me. "I'm a extremely sexual person and you're not. You don't even like when I just want to kiss you-" I put my hand out and said "I know where this is going so can we just skip to the hurtful part" she sighed

"I think we need a break." Annie walked in "Gosh. It's so tense in here" she went to her bed. "Annie can you step out for a second." Max asked. She looked at me and nodded slowly. She left and I said "So we're breaking up" she nodded softly "Are you going to be sleeping with other people" she shook her head and said "I want you back. We're just taking a small break. I know that if I sleep with someone while we're broken up. I'll break your heart and I don't want to break your heart" I cleared my throat "Too late for that"

"Amelia" I shook my head and said "Please leave. For real this time" she slowly got up. I walked her out and opened the door. She walked out and Annie just stood there "Annie" she slowly walked in. "Bye Max" I shut the door and we just stood there "Annie I'm never good enough" she hugged me and said "You're perfect. You are absolutely perfect in your own way. Everyone is. Stop waiting for love and acceptance. Love and accept yourself" she just held me and let me cry. I needed it right now.

Max

Shit. Shit. Shit. Fuck. What did I do! I walked into my room and sat on my bed. My roommate walked in "Hey, are you alright" I shook my head and said. "I told her we needed a break" Amber looked confused "Why" I sighed. "It's just, I try and try to be affectionate and to love her as much as possible but at times I feel like it's not reciprocated" Amber sighed and sat next to me "You're extremely new to this relationship thing so I'll explain it to you." I nodded

"You two have been together for close to six months. Meaning you guys are slowly getting out of that new relationship phase. There are going to be times where arguments happen, someone might not be sexually satisfied, or you could possibly stop feeling the the same way you felt when relationships were new. It happens to everyone. Are you following" I nodded softly and she said "But relationships are never all good. There's bad too and those bad moments need to be communicated for healthy relationships" I just stared at her

"You're saying I lost her forever." She looked at her lap and said "I'm saying that you made an irrational decision on temporary emotions and it'll be extremely hard to get her back" I covered my face "I didn't even get to say I love you" amber rubbed my back. "Now you have to start as friends again. And you better try hard as hell to get her back." I nodded
