Do-over Days and Damsels in Distress
Chapter One - The Awakening
I bolted up to a sitting position, breathing hard and sweating after having a horrible dream. After taking a few deep breaths, I realized that it wasn't just a dream, because I was back in my room, my old room, before I had moved in with Alex. Alex Kelly, my girlfriend…Ex-girlfriend. I met her a while back, which okay, isn't at all out of the ordinary, because meeting new people was normal, but I ended up in a having a relationship with her. Enter the weirdness. Before her, I was straight, head of the Social Chair and had a slight drinking problem. I say slight, when really, if I'm truthful, it's borderline alcoholic. I had it sorted though, I was down with the whole twelve steps, until the love of my life abandoned me over the summer to raise his illegitimate love child, that may have not even been his.
I lived in this huge 'fuck off' mansion, which my step-father had built specially when he married my mom, the evil bitch of all the west coast. My sister had been packed off to boarding school and my best friend was in this weird love triangle with Seth, who had run off during the summer because Newport was just too unbearable without Ryan to get him out of fights, which if you ask me, seems pretty gay, not as in stupid gay, but gay gay, and Zach, a water polo player.
But in the end, she chose Seth, who as of this moment, I despise. He was the reason me and Alex broke up, putting Ryan with me to set up the annual Bonfire Pep Rally and false ideas into Alex's head. Well, sleeping in a tent with Ryan wasn't a lie, but, he just had to open his big mouth. But, because of him, I'm alone again. Alex was my only other real friend besides Summer, I mean, yea she's my best friend, but sometimes she's just a bit much and she doesn't really get me like Alex does, well, did.
Last night was such a total mistake, I broke up with her, or she broke up with me, it doesn't really matter whose fault it is, we both suffered from it. She looked terribly sad, the saddest I've ever seen her, I think she was going to cry, which made me cry even harder when we were hugging. I really do hope we can be friends still, I know we would never be able be girlfriends again, too much has happened between me and her and Ryan to really ignore it or not to be even more paranoid than she already was. I mean, I could try to convince her, but, I don't think she'd even believe me…
But anyway, after we met, we hung out a lot. Even when her ex-girlfriend was still there, Jodie. We became really close and I'd stay over a lot, and she questioned what I was doing with her. I ran off and thought about it, and then we started dating. I even moved in with her. Me, not living in a mansion, with a girl! It was tough for me, being used to the maids and what not, cleaning up after me and doing my laundry. I had it made, never had to worry about working and getting money. But with her, I did, but I never did anything about it, she had to worry about that stuff for me. She worked really hard at the Bait Shop to make it at least somewhat tolerable for me, but her efforts were fruitless.
Now that I think about it, I was really ungrateful…I hope she accepts my apology, but I don't think an apology is even enough for what she did for me, for us. I'll go over there later and bring something for her, to show her my appreciation for what she did. I hope she hasn't left yet. I mean, a whole day hasn't even passed yet, and everything can't change in that short amount of time. Or can it?
