Seventeen: Josh
I messed up! I terribly messed up and I don’t know how to fix what I have done. Yes, I was mad at her for barely acknowledging me during the past few days, but this wasn’t the way I should have discussed things with her. I shouldn’t have scared her like that. I should have talked with her calmly, now she’s not going to look at my face ever again. Way to go Joshua! You’ve done an amazing job at trying to win her.
I succeeded in scaring her away at the time in which I’m dying to keep her close to me. I don’t know what I can do to show her that I’m sorry. She left three hours

One more lecture left.
Inevitably Captivated Nineteen: Josh
After Owen called and told me that Taleen didn’t mind me talking to her, I didn’t waste any minute. I got dressed to meet her; I want to appear decent in front of her. I also want her to know how sorry I am, I want her to know that I can get a grip on my anger issues. I want her to be sure that even if we fought again, I wouldn’t lash out at her like that; I learned from my mistake. Since Owen told me that she had a shift, I decide to use the time I have to buy her a gift; I’m not trying to buy her forgiveness because she doesn’t seem to be materialistic, but I just want to show her in every possible way that I truly appreciate her. I really don’t know what I should buy her. I want the gift to be meaningful, but I now realise that I don’t know her well enough to know what means a lot to her besides art. After roa

I wanted to stay for a little while longer with my family, but Ihave togo back.I’m more than grateful for the short distance between college and my hometown; if stress got the best of me at any time, I could easily come back home.
Inevitably Captivated Twenty-three: Josh
Taleen’s relationship with her sister is amazing. I thought that I’m the most protective sibling over Avery, but the way Taleendeals with her sister blows my mind.She pays attention to anything Layan says, she showers her with compliments, and not once have I heard her say a comment that could be hurtful in the least way even if it’s by a joke. Yes, they do bicker, but they don’t throw any hurtful comments. I wish I had a relationship like that with my brother, but this is only wishful thinking and almost an impossible task.She talked with Layan’s new boyfriend for more than

“Taleen, we’ve arrived.” I feel somebody shaking me gently. Have I slept the whole way? The drive isn’t long, but I wasn’t tired. Maybe what happened drained me emotionally. I nod as I stretch my arms. My neck is stiff; my whole body is screaming with pain.“Is everything okay?” Lisa asks me with concern.“My muscles,” I mumble as I slowly get out of the car.

Everything is over.Taleenis officially out of my life. I’m such an idiot anyway. Of course, she wouldn’t want to be with someone like me. Why would she end up with an addict? Why would somebody like herend up with an addict? Why would she choose her very first partner to be an addict? She deserves better and I can’t be a better version of myself. I wish I could be better for her; I truly do. It was hard to hear her saying that she doesn’t like me. It was painful to have her call me delusional. It was hard to see the castle of hope I built in my mind crumbling over my head.
