"The reason I did this was I had no choice." "What do you mean you had no choice.?" "Let me begin from the first day." "Why should I? I wasn't kidding you, Noah, the last time I saw her that broken was when Mary died. For weeks she walked around like a zombie until Lewis started to help her put the pieces back together." "I don't want to hear about that f*****g prick ok. Do you know what it feels like watching him touch her, to kiss her to think he is doing other things to her things that only I should be doing?" "Well, you lost that chance so unless you are going to start talking than I am out of here." "Fine look when I first got here I met Sandra, and she did try and get me to hook up with her. I told her about Shelly and how much I loved her and how much I hated being away from her. She kept persisting that I was the only one for her. When I was at a party if she was there she was always trying to rub up on me. One time she even walked up grabbed my face and kissed me. What I didn't know was that she was having someone taking pictures every time. Since I would grab her waist to push her away in the pictures, you couldn't tell who was pushing who away. She told me she was going to spin it that I was the one pursuing her and that I couldn't take no for an answer. If I didn't break up with Shelly when I came home without telling her, she would take the pictures to the dean of schools and get me kicked out of school and then post them online, so I would have a hard time getting into any school. So, I gave in she gave me until the break was over to get it done. Yes, I made love to Shelly while I was here but it was only my way of saying goodbye hoping that feeling her in my arms over break would carry me through until she let me go. The only reason I am telling you this now was that her roommate was able to bust her and turned everything over to the dean."
"Why didn't you tell us this before you left? I am sure Shelly and I could have just stepped back until things were fixed." "Because her cousin Mia was reporting back to her about how Shelly was behaving. It turns out that Sandra is the sister of one of your ex-girlfriends Lee and since you broke up with her for Shelly she decided to use me to get back at her. Supposedly her name was Lucy." Lee just stared at me "Noah, she wasn't even a girlfriend she was just a girl we met one summer, and she asked me to go to her house to eat lunch but said I couldn't take my twin, and so I told her I don't go anywhere without my twin." "Well, the girl thought differently and decided to hurt Shelly they thought Shelly was jealous of you two and tried to steal you away from her." "I should have known Mia was behind this ever since you chose Shelly and Mia tried to get between you two her reputation faulted at school while Shelly's soared. Even Olivia wouldn't talk to her anymore and became good friends with Elle who helped hook her up with Tuppen." "Seriously Olivia and Tuppen ended up together because of my Shelly." "Noah, you need to stop thinking of her like that she is with Lewis now and he makes her happy." "I can't help it Lee I love her with all my heart. I never did sleep with Sandra or even kiss her she would kiss me. I just went out with her and posed for pictures with her so she could post them." "She was ok with that." "Yep, she said all I had to do was stay away from Elle and pretend to be her boyfriend by posting pictures of her and myself together." "You all never got to see the comments because between her, Mia and Lucy they would remove the comments from the people here about our relationship being fake. After a while, everyone here gave up, and I lost a lot of friends because of what I did. They would read the posts from everyone at Berkley Hall, and then they started trolling yours, and Shelly's pages and my friends fell in love with her and took her side." "Damn dude that must have sucked." "Yes, it did. It also didn't help any that you, mom and dad all wouldn't talk to me."
"Look, bro, I can't promise I can fix things with Shelly and don't know if I want to help you fix things, but I do know that I guess I will do what Shelly wants and work on our relationship first and foremost." "I would like that Lee I have missed you even though you have always been a pain in my ass." The rest of the night Lee and I talked about the different things that had been going on in our lives. He refused to answer anything about Shelly because he swore he refused to betray his twin. I could understand that, but it was still a little annoying that he would not at least explain to me how she ended up with Lewis. I mean I had found out through some friends of mine at MIT that Lewis is a sophomore so that means there was no way that they could have met while she was in school. I also couldn't understand all the pictures she had of him during her the second half of her Senior year when they hadn't started dating until the summer. The only reason I knew that was because I saw it the day she posted that she was in a relationship with him. I mean he showed up to the kissing booth, morp, prom, graduation, her and Lee's graduation party, and birthday parties. I hated seeing him at those, and there was at least one time he ended up at a family dinner. I need to stop thinking about this. As I walk out of my dorm room, I see Elle leaving hers, and I couldn't help but catch my breath because she was wearing one of my favorite dresses. It was the dress she wore the day I asked her to be my girlfriend. All she did was smile and said "Hi Noah bye Noah." I watched her walk out as I followed behind her and saw Lewis grab her hands and hold them out so he could look at her then lean in and kiss her. It took all my self-control not to march up there and pull him off of her and ram my fist into his face. The worst part is his stupid friend made the team, and the coach gave Lewis permission to attend practices so he could help his buddy with the plays and training. After they were out of sight, I headed over to the university café to have dinner and coffee. I must have been in the café for thirty minutes reading Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maude Montgomery. I know I am a guy, but I wanted to get to know Gilbert Blythe since I used to hear Shelly tell Lee how romantic Gilbert was and how lame Anne was not to realize Gilbert was madly in love with her. Yeah yeah I know there is are tones of movies and even a new TV series on them, but Shelly always said that the best movies starred Megan Follows as Anne and Johnathan Crombie as Gilbert. I had already watched all the movies, and now I am reading the books because Shelly said the books showed Gilbert's true romantic side, unlike the movies. So, far she is right I need to pick one of Gilbert moves so I can win her heart back if I am given a chance. Anyway as I was saying it must have been thirty minutes before guess what, yep you guessed it, they walked in. I couldn't help myself I sat there watching them from behind my book until I knew it was going to become painfully obvious that I was spying on them. So, I got up and left. Of course half way to the door one of my friends brought attention to the fact I was reading Anne of Green Gables. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Shelly look at me, so I just looked at my buddy, "Dude hello I am an English literature minor I am primarily studying North American Literature, and that includes Canadian Authors this was on the list no one else chose it, so I did." With that said I paid my bill and headed back to my dorm room.
I was sitting there reading and getting lost in the world of Prince Edward Island when I heard my Shelly's voice "Ok Lewis you win but just because your staying here doesn't mean anything is going to happen." "Come on little lady don't be like that I am pretty sure I can convince you otherwise." "Hmm come to stop that your going to leave a mark and you know how I hate PDA" "Yeah, well maybe that jack ass ex of yours will stop staring at you if he sees my mark on you. He needs to get it your my little lady, and I don't intend on losing you." I heard her giggle "Stop he could be awake and hear you even though he hurt me I don't want to make him feel bad. Come on before you wake the whole floor." I could feel my blood boil as I heard her door close behind them. I threw the book against the wall glad that this was the only floor with single occupancy. I was also silently cursing my parents for putting me across the hall from her. Ahhh, damn I can't believe he is in her room. Kissing her lips, her neck and who knows where else. I lay down hoping that sleep will take me before I hear something that will break my heart. I couldn't fall asleep, so I headed to the lounge to buy some water, and before I could close my door, I heard her moan "yes, that feels so good." "Are you sure little lady?" I couldn't take it. I closed the door and threw myself on the bed. Before I realized what was happening I felt a tear slide down my face I couldn't stop myself before I knew it I was sobbing into my pillow I don't know how long I cried for that night I know at some point I drifted off to sleep.
Waking up the next morning was the worst. Not only did my head hurt from crying all night my mind kept playing over and over again in my head her breathy moan "yes, that feels so good." I know that moan he was making his way to her magnificent plump perky breasts. I feel the tears start to slide down my face again. I never thought that this would bring about another man sensually touching my sweet Shelly." I got dressed in a haze I had football practice, and I was not thrilled with having to see Lewis on the field or watch Shelly try to work out sore from last nights exercise. As if the fates had it in for me I step out of my dorm room to head to the field house at the same time as Lewis leaves Shelly's room. I nod to Lewis and walk casually towards the exit. I start stretching outside since I usually jog the long way to the field house to get in a good warm up before practice. I get there just as Lewis tells his buddy I think the guy's name is Jones "Nah dude all our clothes were on the floor and well Iooked in her eyes and when I asked her are you sure little lady she said...."
