The Perfect Disaster

Considering all the things that have happened in my life, I still consider myself a pretty lucky person. At this very moment though, I was questioning whether I truly believed this. It was 90 degrees out and I was helping my brother move into his college dorm-style apartment. This wouldn’t have been such a horrible thing… if there had been an elevator. I’m praying that any minute my boyfriend will roll up and help out with the heavier items. I could manage to get them up the steps, but I really don’t want to be covered in more sweat than I already am. Just as I was pulling the last tote out of my car a guy walks up to me and says “You look like you could use a water. Here, take this and I’ll help you carry the rest up to your place. I moved in last week and I understand the struggle.” I glanced at him. His face soft, but yet rigid as well. He had short blonde hair that was neatly fixed with sort of a spike. His blue eyes gleamed and when I made eye contact, he had a smile that would

I pulled into Jared’s. Unlike me, he wasn’t afraid to flaunt his money. He was an executive at a music production company made really good money. He was young, but he was definitely good at his job. His place was a A LOT bigger than mine… although in his defense, he did throw a few parties a year for all his clients and coworkers, so it was understandable that he needed the extra space. I got out of my car and realized that there was another car in his driveway I didn’t recognize. I know most of his coworkers’ cars since they stop by pretty often. Maybe it was new talent he was bringing in. I let myself in and to my surprise there were roses EVERYWHERE. It was absolutely stunning. The grand entrance inside was also lined with candles and petals. I was literally just thinking about how he hasn’t proposed yet today… and here it is. I could barely believe it. It was so beautiful. I then realize there is a harp player stashed off to the side of the room… it hits me… the unknown car! Mov

Avery was that kind of friend that we wouldn’t talk for weeks or months at a time. But the second we did, it was like no time had passed. “THAT PIECE OF SHIT DID WHAT?!?!” She and Jared always got along, but as a typical best friend she was always on my side and looking out for my interests. She wasn’t afraid to call him out if or when needed. She never did like that he partied so much. But it was honestly part of his job and never bothered me. It wasn’t always like that. We were together before he got the big job. He was always down to Earth and treated me well… I guess up until the part that he cheated on me. “Look Becca, I know you haven’t had time to process all of this. But trust and loyalty are HUGE to you. I can’t imagine that this doesn’t change everything for you.” She was right. How could I trust him after this? I don’t know if I could. “I just don’t know what to do Aves. I have two choices here. Forgive him and we live out our happily ever after OR I don’t forgive him a

I was turning down Jared’s road when I seen someone in the distance. Walking down from his driveway. It was a woman. She had on high heels and one of those bodycon pink dresses on. It was hard to miss since it was barely noon. I slowed my driving to see where she was headed. When she kept walking down the road, I pulled up to her and put my window down. “Hey, do you need a lift somewhere? Those heels look super uncomfortable to be walking anywhere.” I said with as friendly of a smile I could put on. The curiosity in me just couldn’t handle knowing if this was the girl Jared had cheated on me with.“Uhm, actually I would LOVE a drive to the end of the road. There’s a little parking lot there. My boy toy makes me park down there so no one sees my car in his drive.”Boy toy? A rush of anger filled my body. But I had to know more, so I kept my cool.“Does he live up there? It’s such a nice house. I think I went to a party there once.”She had no idea who I was. “Yeah, he produces music o

I woke up the next morning with a killer headache. “I guess this is what a hangover feels like” I thought to myself. I rolled over to find that I was not in bed alone. Oh my God. What the hell happened last night. The last thing I remember is Will putting me into his car. I must have blacked out or something. I started getting nervous. That’s when I heard my bedroom door creak open. “I thought I heard you get up. Here, take these for your hangover.” I moaned and held my palm up to my forehead. Then I proceeded to point next to me. That’s when my brother grinned and said “Will brought you home and you decided to thank him.” My mouth gaped wide open and I started to panic. Tim starts howling with laughter- which only made my head hurt more. “I’m kidding. You had a breakdown. Of course I’m going to call the one person who can help fix you.” That’s when the person under the sheets rolls over and smiles widely at me. “Now that is what I call a night to remember- or in your case- forget
