bounce back

after trevor & i broke up, i grew my hair out.

he always said how much he likes my short hair.

it made me feel better about myself, changing that one small appearance about me. it did take a while for it to look different but i like my long hair now.

its so much easier to put it in braids for a game now.

he loved when i didn't wear glasses, so i had contacts when i dated him. i wear glasses a ton now though.

he hated that i am majoring in business management to run a business with my sister.

he hated that i am minoring in secondary education to be an 8th grade english teacher. he told me i wouldn't make much money but no one is in teaching for the money. outcome over income.

i still cant believe that waylyn has trevor over tonight.

i get that he is in town but way hated trevor.

i mean trevor cheated on me so i knew way was going to hate him but i thought he would always hate him.

it was honestly my own fault.

way told me not to date trevor but we still dated.

way & trevor played hockey against each other growing up. plus they played together at the USNTDP, so thats how we met. we were always close everytime we visited, and one thing led to another, we started talking & decided to do long distance.

my sophomore year here was trevor & waylyns rookie year. so trevor in cali, way in raleigh, and me in chapel hill. way found out that trevor cheated on me while trevor was at parties in cali.

i called trevor and he denied everything, but i knew to trust waylyn.

2 days after i broke up with him, a picture was posted of him & a girl.

it broke my heart even more.

i felt bad because we put waylyn in the middle of it, since he played with trevor since they were little & since we dated.

i laid on my bed in my apartment on campus.

i opened jacks dm,

jack: hey liv parker

i started typing

but soon deleted it.

maybe his account got hacked?

but i dont even follow him.

liv: hey jack hughes

now i regret that.

i stared at the screen, rethinking what i did when the 3 dots popped up at the bottom.
