Sean

I couldn’t sleep that night. All I thought about was Scarlet and what happened between us. Our relationship was one of the most valuable things I’d ever had, and I already missed her—needed her. I didn’t want the friendship to end, but Scarlet didn’t want me. What was I supposed to do? I tossed and turned all night, but it wasn’t Penelope waking me up. It was Scarlet. I knew I should just stop being stubborn and try to win her back. We were both at fault in the situation. Scarlet never should have assumed that our love making came with a relationship since I just lost Penelope, and I shouldn’t have been such an insensitive jerk about her feelings. They were both valid points. I felt myself fall into unconsciousness, and when I woke up the next morning, the anger returned to my body when I reflected on our fight. I just couldn’t make up my mind about how I felt about it. Penelope still lingered in my thoughts, but her presence had dimmed in light of the fight I had with Scarlet. I got up and went to work, wanting to distract myself from thoughts of both Scarlet and Penelope.

I could tell that I was the new, popular kid at work by the way everyone was treating me. Apparently, news had spread about me and my new girlfriend, Scarlet. Everyone knew that Mr. Perkins invited us to play racquetball with him outside of work. It felt like high school all over again. I was glad to be making progress at the office, but then the reality hit. Scarlet wouldn’t be attending the couples’ game with my boss and I didn’t know if her absence would change anything. Perhaps the only reason I was invited was because of her. I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case. Everyone loved her.

I tried not to think about our last conversation. She told me she never wanted to see me again, which really surprised me. I wasn’t going to call or text her—nothing. If she wanted to talk to me, she could contact me. I didn’t do anything wrong. Well, I did, but it was a misunderstanding. Of course, I would never hurt my best friend on purpose or use her in any way, and the fact she accused me of something so ridiculous pissed me off. I loved her. Why would I treat her like that? But then the guilt returned. I hated how upset she seemed. When I thought about it in retrospect, the way she kissed me in the morning, and later when she said goodbye, I realized I should have noticed it. When we went to the restaurant and that guy harassed her, I defended her, disregarding my own safety, and while I did that because I loved her, she assumed I did it because I was in love with her. When we went to the movies, she hooked her arm into mine, and while I didn’t mind, it must have meant more to her than I thought.
