Chain Reaction

I had it. I had two months of pure bliss. We were official. I had a boyfriend that was thoughtful, loving and adored me. I had more passionate sex than I could handle. I didn’t know how long it would last. And then it all stopped. This wasn’t my year.

Did they say bad news happens in three’s or was in bad things happened in three’s? Well, it didn’t matter. Nothing could top finding out my ex-boyfriend was probably gay. Everything was going good. And then I got ghosted by Brandon.

I wasn’t sure why this kept happening to me. But it happened again. I did nothing to deserve it. Another man did a disappearing act on me. Now I was back wrecking my brain trying to figure out what I did or what I said to make Brandon abandon me. I knew I hadn’t done a thing.

Maybe I was just a clueless dummy. I didn’t see this coming. I thought everything was going good. I missed whatever cues he was giving me. I didn’t see it coming. It was so frustrating and I was already going through the host of emotions that occur when you’re dumped.

I was a terrible judge of character. Why did Brandon go to the doctor with me so we could be sexually safe and exclusive just to bail on me in two months?

I’d texted Brandon and called him. I didn’t get an answer. This went on for a week. I’d left messages and then I realized. He dumped me. No explanation. He just stopped talking to me. This time I knew I hadn’t done anything at all. Just like before, I did not understand what happened. One minute everything was fine. The next minute, Brandon disappeared.

It was no fun being dumped. It hit me suddenly. This was happening to me, and I needed a day to process it. I called in sick to work. I decided to I lay in bed all day. I needed to put the pieces of the puzzle together.

I had my laptop on the bed. I was going to spend the entire day sleeping and watching whatever came up on my Netflix queue.

My cell phone scared me when it rang. I searched under my favorite Game of Thrones throw blanket until I found my cell phone somewhere near my feet.

“Hello.”

“Hey, you’re not at work.” Mark’s voice seemed worried.

“I know. I’m sick.”

“No, you’re not. You didn’t even text me. You can’t let that asshole stop your bag.”

“Please don’t talk like that.”

“Like what?”

A Black person. “Forget it, what’s the problem? What do you need?”

“There’s no problem. You just never call in, and on a Friday. Did you have your coffee this morning?”

“No, I just slept all morning.”

“It’s lunchtime. Did you eat something?”

“Not yet. But I’m not hungry.”

“You’re always hungry.”

“That’s true, but I’m sleeping today.” I tossed the blanket over my freezing feet.

“Are you sad?”

“Yes, I am.”

“No, no, you need to cut that out.”

“I wanted to be sad at home instead of at work. I’ll be back Monday.
