Lost Loves

Dylan and Harry left that afternoon, which meant I now had a ton of free time on my hands. I was genuinely happy for Dylan but I was going to miss him. Harry and Dylan had been my excuse to not face my true feelings.

For a few moments, I stood on the dock, listening to the roar of boats and peals of laughter coming from the lake. This summer was supposed to be about fun before I stepped into the world of adulthood. Maybe this was really my indoctrination into the real world where things weren’t easy and fun was sometimes a forgotten word.

The last thing I needed was to sit here brooding, so I went in search of Mrs. Jorgenson, only to find an empty cabin.

With no one around to entertain me, I took the boat out and let the wind filter through my hair and my mind drift like the waves. When I got back to the cabin, I found a note from Jamie telling me he was going to some party on the other side of the lake and not to wait up for him.

My mind helpfully supplied me with images of him with countless beautiful people while I sat alone on the porch surrounded by Mrs. Jorgenson and her friends. If I was totally honest, I’d be happy to have Mrs. Jorgenson sitting beside me right now.

After enduring several mosquito attacks, I went to bed around three in the morning where my dreams continued the torture.

Jamie was gone for two days, and when he returned, he wasn’t alone. He’d replaced Harry with some fucking nineteen-year-old man-child named Leaf, of all things.

Thank goodness Leaf only lasted the weekend. The guy was all-hands, all the time, and it drove me nuts. Jamie asked me if I was getting a sore throat because whenever Leaf was around, I had a habit of growling. Mrs. Jorgenson and Mrs. Benson threatened to do an intervention. They didn’t like the way the veins in my neck pulsed whenever they mentioned Leaf by name.

When Leaf disappeared, Mrs. Jorgenson actually questioned me to make sure I hadn’t gone through with any murder plans. It would’ve been easy to anchor his body to the bottom of the lake. But with my luck, he’d come back as Jason from Friday the 13th, jumping out of the water to drown me or stab me in the crotch.

Mrs. Jorgenson scolded me. “I have no desire to come visit you in prison. You wouldn’t last more than a week.”

“But you would come see me?”

“I have nothing better to do,” she said. “Barbie thought we could combine the prison visits with a day of shopping.”

“Well, I appreciate it, but I didn’t kill Leaf. He had to go back to work.”

“Has he been replaced yet?”

“I don’t think so. Last time I saw Jamie, he was heading down to the dock with his phone and a towel. But knowing him, someone will probably come parasailing in and he’ll sweep them off their feet.
