1. Surprise went wrong

XIMENA“Happy birthday baby. I love you with every being of mine and until eternity. Thank you for always loving and considering me.”I sent the text to my boyfriend with a smile on my face before tucking my phone into my purse.“Your cake is ready.” The baker informed me.I walked towards her, taking a closer look at the blue and white cake I had requested a week ago for Jake’s birthday. “It’s beautiful,” I complimented. “I did it just as you described,” the baker informed me. On the birthday cake was written, ‘Happy birthday Jake with the number 9, his jersey number on it.Every time I celebrate a new year with him, I smile because of how far we’ve come as a couple. From high school until now. Most people wouldn’t expect our relationship to come this far. Everyone who dated in high school doesn't usually last this long or so we’ve heard but Jake and I have been together for years and are even stronger.He had no idea that I'd be attending his party tonight. I told him I was bus

2. Fix your insecurities

XIMENA “Did he sleep with her? He wouldn't do that to me, right? He probably stopped the second I left his apartment,” I thought to myself.“And yet he didn't chase after you?” A voice scoffed at the back of my mind. “If he could do that in front of you, just imagine what he'll do when you're not even present.”I didn't want to think about it but the image of Jake kissing another woman was already imprinted in my head and I couldn't stop thinking that they might actually take things further after all, it was all part of the dare.I didn't sleep a wink all night. I stared at my phone, waiting for Jake’s call to come in and hear his excuse even when I didn't need one.I saw the whole thing happen. I saw him pick his social status over me and yet, I still waited for him to tell me that I was just overthinking things and it wasn't that deep. I waited until 4:00 in the morning and yet nothing.

3. The hot stranger

XIMENA “I love you, now, tomorrow and forever Xi.”It’s been a week and those words kept ringing in my head. I haven’t heard from Jake and it hurts with every day passing by and him not reaching out to me. It was Friday evening and it happened to be my day off. I lay on the bed, staring at the same episode of the series I had been watching for the last two hours and still couldn't process a thing when the door swung open and Mallory stepped in.“What the fuck is that?” Her face twitched with disgust the second she peeped to see what I was watching.It was a sad series. Almost all the characters are battling a terminal illness and just watching it makes me want to cry.“Is this what you have been watching?” She scoffed in disbelief. “No wonder your roommate said you look like you're battling depression.”“Hannah said that?” I looked up from my tablet and she shrugged.“Can you blame her though?”Hannah and I barely talk unless it is necessary and she didn't even act like she notice
