With my ear phones on full blast, hair tied in a pony tale, body tightly fitted into a black joggers a white T-Shirt and my feet comforted by a pair of white sneakers, I jogged swiftly down my neighborhood street that led to a small park.
While jogging, I had a chance to think about my life and what I wanted. It didn't take me long to realize that my life is mine and I'm not living to please any earthly person, only God. That meant, fixing it in a way making me confident to look at myself in a mirror and say 'I have value'. So from that very minute I became determined and my mindset had changed.
I no longer cared what my dad thinks of me, or Scarlett or even Tyler. I just cared about what I thought of me. And before this minute I had thought of myself like a piece of trash forgetting all my accomplishments before that horrible night. Reflecting on all my perfect scores, benevolence, believer of God, and how I would go out of my comfort zone to please others gave me hope. I cannot change what happened that night, as much as I wanted to. But it thought me something valuable. And that is 'not all experiences are worth gaining, some can change your life permanently in a terrible way.'
Fortunately for me, I was now learning to change the path my life was on. Well, that quickly faded when I heard foot steps getting closer behind me.
"Kate, slow down!" Tyler called out grabbing my waist from behind.
"Tyler?! What are you doing here?" I asked curiously.
"What do you mean? It's where I live. You haven't return my calls or texts. What do you expect me to do? I can't live like this. It's been three days since that morning and it's killing me!" He explained, eyes popping and breathing heavily.
"You heard my dad Tyler. We can't be together anymore." I said in hurt and dissatisfaction.
"I don't care what your dad wants!" He blurted. "I Wana know what you want!" He exclaimed in hope.
"You already know what I want Tyler. I want you. All of you!" I exclaimed, on the verge of shedding tears.
"Well then let's be together! Because I can't see myself living without you." With that being said he leaned in and pecked my lips. I kissed back then pulled away. "Stop!" I yelled.
"What's wrong babe?" He asked in surprise.
"How can you still want to be with me after what you heard about my past?" I questioned with confusion in my eyes.
He placed some strands of hair behind my ear and softly said. "Kate, my dream girl. I don't care what your past looks like. The girl I feel in love with is different from all the other girls I've met. I know who you are, and who you are is what I want. No one can change the past my love. I did some horrible things before I met you too. I got in alot of fights, I drank, crashed my dad's car, had sex with over a dozen girls, cheated, smoked, lied, gave my parents and teachers a very hard time and so much more. All the qualities a bad guy posses, I used to match them. But after I met you, an angel like you, I realized that the only way you would want to be with me is if I've changed, and besides that I always wanted to change I just needed an inspiration. And my inspiration was and still is, you!"
Those words touched my heart in a way no other words have touched me. The way Tyler sees me is so much more than what I saw myself, and that made me change the way I felt. Knowing that he still loves me despite what he knew about me only caused me to love him more.
"Tyler, you have no idea how much what you just said means to me. But I just want you to know what really happened that night." I said with my head down.
"Okay baby, I'm listening." He said with care.
"Race me to park first." I said with a smile.
"Sure! Oh, your shoe is untied" he said, looking down at my feet.
As I bent down to fix it I heard him race off chuckling. They weren't untied! Cheater!
"That's not fair!" I Shouted like a kid, chasing after him.
********************
"I won!" He teased
"Only because you cheated!" I mumbled.
He laughed.
"Baby girl you know I'm faster than you." He taunted, lifting me off the ground and placed my body gently on a bench near by. I rested my head in his shoulder and beagn.
"At my home school I was labelled 'the school's nerd', it was horrible being treated like trash, Scarlett was responsible for that. There was this party my class me Henna held each year for her birthday and my Bestfriend Chrystallia talked me into going, but she couldn't make it so I will went alone. At the party I noticed Scarlett talking about me and I looked over to my childhood crush making out with some girl. I felt awful and was tired of my nerdy life. I acted like a normal teen for couple minutes, drinking, and it resulted in me taking my dress off and head home on feet. At midnight while walking a male figure snuck up behind me and threw me on the side of the road. I lost my virginity that night!" With tears falling from my eyes i felt a gentle kiss to my forehead.
"Baby! None of that was your fault. Don't look down on your self for that. My heart breaks knowing what you went through. But I'm here now and I will protect you. I promise I would never hurt you!" He said with intensity and care.
Our fingers interlocked while his other hand rubbed my shoulder.
I felt safe and loved. The best feeling for a broken girl with scars.
