"I don't need you Arin!"

"I don't need you either
Jess!"

"Just leave already!"

"Fine!"

This wasn't the first time this happened. Arin was quick to get mad, and looking back on it, I would be too. He caught me.

We were at the mall, just me and Arin, but then there was him. There was this guy who has apparently liked me since like, eighth grade. He came up to me and was talking to me in one store while Arin was in another.

I have no feelings for this dude. At all. Honestly, I had even forgotten his name as soon as we went to high school. But as we talked, he threw in this sentence:

"Since that time we were lab parters in Eighth Grade, I have loved you."

And if that wasn't enough, he started kissing me. Then guess what? Arin had just walked into the store, seeing me practically making out with another guy.

Things didn't go smoothly after that. The guy from eighth grade was punched in the stomach, I tried to explain, but was dragged out of the shop, and rode home with a very ticked boyfriend.

He practically shoved me into my house.

"What the heck was that about?! How long have you been trading slobber with that ahole?!" He screamed at me. I looked down.

"Arin, it's not what you think-" I started, but Arin cut me off.

"Then what was it Jess? Am I not good enough for you? So not good enough that you started hanging with tha-" Arin continued to scream, but now it was my turn to scream.

"MAYBE YOU AREN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME! BEATING UP GUYS WHO'S NAMES I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER! NOT TRUSTING ME, NOT LISTENING TO ME," I shrieked, he tried to get a word in, but I was having none of it.
"AND NOT LETTING ME FINISH TALKING!!"

Arin just stared at me angrily. Then that convo you already read happened.

So here I am, three days later, refusing to leave my room, eating gummy bears in Rainbow Dash adult Pjs, regretting everything I've ever done. Great, now my phone is buzzing. Probably another text from a friend trying to get me to leave...

Arin: im sorry Jess. i talked to that guy and your story is true. Please forgive me. I really care about you and ill trust you, ill listen to you, ill let you finish talking. Please take me back. I <3 u.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I have a boyfriend to go talk to again. I better get out of these pjs.
