I was trapped in this life . . .

I can never show my face.

It was as though Sting was giving me a prophetic message of who I was quickly becoming. The darkness of the night became even more menacing. I popped the cassette out and hoped Jaye wouldn’t ask to play it again. My favorite song was no longer my favorite; I couldn’t bear to hear Sting’s voice for a while.

Jaye stayed for the next four days. We didn’t get into any more bad arguments, although it did get tense at times. On his last night with me, I lost track of time and left him at his hotel at 2:15 a.m., exceeding my curfew by more than three hours. The campus felt desolate, and only the parking lot lights were illuminated as I pulled into a spot. I ran from my car to the entrance of my dorm and yanked on the glass door. It was locked. There was a student at the security desk, and I waved to get his attention, mouthing, Can you let me in?

As he turned the lock and opened the door, I smiled. “Thanks so much . . . sorry to bother you.” He looked at me with a strange expression but didn’t say anything, which I thought was rude.

I am so ready for a good night’s sleep. I got off the elevator on my floor; the hallway was quiet and dimly lit as I dug in my purse for my room key. Yet as I walked toward my room, I noticed light coming from under my door.

That’s weird. I never leave my lights on. I turned my key in the lock and pushed the door open. When I walked into the room, the blood drained from my face. The dean of students sat perfectly straight on the edge of my bed, waiting for me. There were boxes stacked next to her. She looked at me with cold disapproval. “Chrissy, I’m sorry, but you are being dismissed. I’ve called your parents. It’s very unfortunate, the decisions you’ve made, but you cannot continue your studies here anymore. Your father is expecting a call from you.”

She sighed and walked out without a backward glance.
