I was home once from school, and I read an article from the POV of “the other woman” and I found out that she had a family that loved her, friends that cared for her, probably a cat she fed every night. So why did I hate her? I wanted to be her. Because she was enough for him. And I wasn’t. But what was so special about her? I kept asking myself, wondering. I even tried to convince myself once that, ok, maybe her being on the side won’t be too bad. But then I thought, wait, no. It’s not supposed to be like that. It’s just supposed to be me. I don’t even know where I’m going with this.
We were walking back to the train from Comic-Con and I saw a text from another girl calling him babe. And I just said “so Victoria calls you babe too?” But inside the Javits Center was like another world because he showed me attention, made me feel like his girlfriend. He told me he loved me a hundred times that day. And I told him “this is how I feel all the time when I’m with you” and he just said “really?”
Another time, I was sick, throwing up, from antibiotics from a UTI that HE gave me (the first of many because he lied about getting STD tested) and I went back to my dorm. And he made me take an Uber back instead of driving me and making sure I was ok. And he lied about going to work too that day. He really went to MC to “smoke a bong” but actually cheat on me. And I couldn’t even contact him because I left my phone at his house. I finally got in contact with him. And then he came and brought my phone back to me and he walked in and said “I realized that I am completely in love with you” and of course. That just made me feel like the most special person in the whole world. I swear. But then he was like I’m going to the city but I was still throwing up. So I couldn’t go. And he said I’m meeting ale there. He said I’m picking her up from the train and we’re taking my dads car around the city. And I wanted to go but I was afraid I would get sick and ruin it. But he went. And he said he would call me at 3 but he never called me. And then he came back and ignored me the whole time.
Once he asked me to go to an art show. And V and A were there, of course. And he actually let me look at the flier on his phone and I tried to scroll down but I didn’t realize it was just a screenshot and I swiped to a very very rude picture of a boy and girl. Sent to V. And I asked what was that and he told me he liked the colors. That’s why he sent it to her. The colors.
