If It Doesn't Kill Us It Makes Us Stronger
Chapter 7: Vacation! Part 1
When I woke up the next day to check up on Robyn, I realized that she had already left. I hoped that I could talk to her and apologize for being so rude and insensitive last night.
When I arrived to school later the teacher announced that the class would be going on a trip to Mariners Reach! I, and the rest of the class was extremely excited, after the past few months I could really use some time to clear my head.
The next couple of days were a blur, all I remember is when I arrived at the beach house and how huge it was.
It seemed that Robyn was doing fine, her and Issac were still happily dating. Was it really that simple to just forgive a guy for raping you? Was Robyn really completely fine, or was she just acting fine?
I tried not to let Jasmine notice how distraught I was over this whole "Robyn" thing. I always tried to act happy in front of her. Actually, I was angry, how could Issac just take advantage of Robyn like that? And how could Robyn just allow him too, how can she be crying one moment and perfectly fine the next?
That night I just couldn't get to sleep, I kept thinking about Robyn. Then, I realized, I didn't just like Robyn, I was in love with her. I had to tell her, it didn't matter if she doesn't accept me, but I'll regret it even more if I don't.
I walked around outside for a while, searching for Robyn. I finally found her, at a restaurant near the beach, reading. Robyn looked beautiful there in the dim light. I could feel my heart beating rapidly and I became even more nervous but I still walked up to her, this needed to be said.
At that moment my entire mind went blank, I almost forgot what I even came there to do! I decided that the only thing I could do was to show my emotions with actions so I grabbed Robyn out of the chair and began kissing her.
For the first couple of seconds Robyn didn't do anything, she just let me kiss her but then she pulled away with a sad look on her face. Before she could say anything I said, "I've loved you since we were five years old." I should have known from her expression what she was about to say.
Robyn looked at me and sighed. "Look Logan, you were an amazing friend, but recently you've began to change. I'm not sure I like the 'new' Logan." Then, she began to walk away.
At first, I was in shock, how did I change, what did I do? I couldn't help it, all of my pent up anger had to be released, and had to be released right then. "And you haven't changed?" I yelled back at Robyn. "You, as soon as you meet me again after years you go off to date my best friend and then ignore me, but then when you have an issue I'm the first person you run to?"
I didn't mean to yell at Robyn. This was meant to be a pleasant confession, how'd it turn into an argument? I continued to scream at Robyn, "And if that wasn't bad enough, you act like nothing happened, you act like Issac didn't just rape you! What's so good about that bastard? What's SO wrong with me that you'd choose a horrible guy over your best friend?" Robyn didn't respond, she just walked away from me. I regret many things that happened that night, things that can't be reversed, one being that Jasmine had just witnessed the entire scene.
Hi all! Posted another chapter, except it has a cliffhanger, so it's only a part 1. ;) Leave me a comment about the chapter, they make my day! Also, Mariners Reach was created by Johnnywr on the sims 3 website, thank you for the wonderful island!
WOW, either she is really stupid or she has some problems. How could she.... after he......? Good chapter though! :)
ReplyDeleteOk so Robyn is an idoit! Did she really say he changed? Seriously?!?!?!? What because when you finally decide to call him it's after your crabby boyfriend has raped you and he didn't fall all over himself trying to make the world better for you? UGH eat dirt Robyn! I'm glad he went off on her she deserved it. I hate that Jasmine saw it all. :( He just broke her heart.
ReplyDeleteOuch... Jasmine witnessing?! But yay - finally at the island! :D Keep writing!
