“Summer, I think we should break up,” my boyfriend of two and a half years tells me one day after our usual Sunday night dinner with my family. I nearly choke on my general tso’s chicken and immediately start a very embarrassing and very unattractive coughing fit. When I’m sure my airway is clear again, I reach for my glass of water and chug it down quickly. I turn to him and stare. “Excuse me?” I couldn’t have heard him right. He shifts in his seat awkwardly and looks down at his hands and continues to speak to me. “I think we should see other people.” I feel as if the wind has been knocked out of me and I try to remember how to breathe again. “Y-you want to see other people?” Wow. I didn’t see this coming. He looks back up at me, tearing eyes away from his suddenly interesting fingernails and meeting my eyes he says, “Yeah. I mean, don’t you agree? Think about it. We’re gonna to be seniors this year. It’s our last year to actually live before we go off to college and everything changes. Don’t you want the full experience?” When Summer’s boyfriend Matt drops a bomb on her wants to break up the day before school starts back, she’s more than thrown through a loop. She had everything planned for senior year down to the very last detail and a break-up was not in the cards. Now with her perfect plans are in turmoil she must reconstruct her entire year without the one person who was included in everything. No boyfriend, check. One crazy best friend, check.

"I told you before kitten, I don't like you going out with guys that aren't me." He said while he had me pressed against the school wall while I was waiting for Isabelle to pick me up. "And I like I told you in the Janitor's closet you pulled me in earlier. I don't give a rat's ass. You don't own me. I am nothing of yours so you can't control me. I do what I want when I want got it?" He chuckled and pressed closer to me. "Actually, you may not be anything of me but you are mine. You were the moment you bumped into me in the kitchen the other day, so believe me when I say you are mine and there is no way you could change that. Go out with Sam but get this through your pretty little brown haired head." He said while he gently poked it. "At the end of the day you come home to see me. I will win you over, even if it's the last thing I do. I promise and I always keep my promises." That was the last thing he said before he crashed his lips to mine. Copyright © 2014 by. Maria M.
