I Only Date Bad Boys

I feel a buzz in my pocket as I stare at the sky above me. I take my phone out my pocket and see it’s Tristan. A small speck of hope ignites within me, maybe he’s calling to say it was all a joke that he set up because he had a surprise for me. As I answered the call my heart began to hammer in my chest, “Jacee?”

“Tristan?”

“Look, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you I was leaving. I just couldn’t stand to see the way you would act and it would just break me, but I want you to know that I love you.” The small glimmer of hope that was there had faded and I was frowning at my phone. I was mad at Tristan, because we would never see each other again and we would have been able to see each other before he left if he had told me! I knew I was mostly mad at myself for not being a better girlfriend so that maybe he would’ve changed his mind and begged his parents to stay. I didn’t know how to deal with all this, it was all happening too fast so I took my anger out on Tristan.
