Entry Nine: Disaster

Day after day, Eric insists he doesn’t care anymore about what happened. Yet day after day he shows he does. He’s refusing to talk to me normally. Still, he tries to say that it’s all over. I don’t understand it. Maybe we’ve just known each other too long.

 

Here’s what happened. At the beginning of lunch, I sat with one other friend, until I was finished eating. Cautiously, I migrated back to the other table, wondering if I could figure out what was wrong. We both ended up looking and talking to everyone but each other.

 

When I finally managed to speak to him, it just got worse. It didn’t help any that Jenny decided to get involved. And the whole time I think she was texting Jamie. Just made the situation worse. Great. Just great.

 

I left the table, not wanting to hurt him more. Truth is, the more I try not to hurt him, the more I hurt myself. My heart will never be the same again.

 

Now I’m scared to go to gym. I don’t want to talk to Jamie, for fear of her crying on me like she did yesterday. She was upset because she feels she’s always stuck in the middle of fights between friends. And that she felt awful.

 

I want to resolve the situation with Jamie, but I can’t until I resolve it with Eric, because part of Jamie’s problem is that I’m having a fight…if that’s what it is…with him.

 

There is a reason I love Evanescence, Within Temptation, and Simple Plan. The lyrics always fit me perfectly.

In one of my previous stories (that never worked out) the nice, kind mentor always has to remind the new recruit that dwelling on past events is terribly unhealthy and effects performance. It also helps to look for one's own problems before identifying others. One can only control their own actions and has no effect on others. Be open and honest and always willing to take your friends burdens before your own. Happiness comes from helping others before yourself.

More conflict! I like how you relate music into the story because I also like music that fits my life. Another good job!
