Dear Diary,
It's been a month since Jackson left me. He was really flirtatious with Katie today in AP psychology. Of all people, Katie. He is seeing Elizebeth currently. Poor girl. How could he move on, diary? Our love was undeniable. He will continue on, but I'm just not able to. Even though I'm trying so hard, I can't. How can I still be in love with the boy who had the audacity to break things off with me on my birthday? Yes, my birthday. very cruel! (You already knew that) Knowing that I essentially forced him to do it makes it hurt more, but what's done is done. All I want is for the misery to stop. I don't know, but something seems off. Though deep down I realize it's because of Jackson's betrayal, I keep telling myself I'm overreacting. He can go, but at least leave me with a more pleasant memory. Will things continue to stay that way for the rest of my life? Heartbreaks ...I won't ever fall in love again. Ever. He is a scumbag. Oh shoot Mom is calling me gtg diary chat later!
~Gwen
I frantically shut the burgundy diary and slip it beneath my bed.
`"Gwendolyn, get down here right now!" My mother yells from the living room.
I bolt from the bedroom and down the long stairs. They creak, the banister is cold, and my feet feel the chill. I hear the front door open and slam shut.
"Mom, what's wrong?" I ask as I race into the kitchen.
"Nothing darling, your father and I are going out on the town tonight." She says with a smile.
"Okay?" I say in a questioning tone.
"So you are watching Annie" Mom after a few moments of silence, Mom continues: "You can make ramen or mac and cheese or grilled cheese for dinner. We'll be home by around nine."
"Okay Mom," I say in response walking towards my parents to hug them. Mom pulls back and looks me in the eye. Her face is tight with concern, but she doesn't say anything for a long moment. Finally, she pulls me into her, telling me that she loves me before releasing me. My mother's embrace is warm. It has been such a long time since I've felt this close to her. I get outside and hug my father.
"We will be back soon," He says before getting into the car.
As they drive off, I wave to them one last time before turning back to the house. Walking up the driveway, I take a deep breath and let it out slowly.
I yell for my sister. "Annie! Get down here!"
She races down the steps and asks, "What?"
"What kind of food do you want for dinner?" I reply.
"Pizza?" she says hopefully.
"No," I say blankly. "We have mac and cheese, grilled cheese, or ramen."
"Ramen please" she says as she bounces back up the stairs.
The kitchen is a mess. With papers, to books, and papers everywhere it looks like a tornado went through it.
I start making the food as my thoughts race. Jackson broke up with me on my birthday. It doesn't get much worse then that. I'm just trying to get through the day and hopefully tomorrow will be better. I take a deep breath and let it out slowly. I hate myself. I hate that I can't seem to move on from Jackson. I hate that I'm still in love with him. I'm such an idiot.
"Foods done," I yell toward the star well.
Annie comes down the stairs.
We sit in silence for a few miniutes eatting out food before annie says "Gwen I'm really sorry about what happened with Jackson."
