The all-star weekend was over and we went back to Oklahoma. Blake wanted to talk about us but I didn’t. I knew it was just a matter of time until he hurt me again. I was at the park with my friend Lisa, just talking about the whole weekend drama.

“What do you think Dustin will do?” she asks

“I don’t know and I don’t want to find out”

“Did you sleep with him?”

“Lisa!” I didn’t want to tell her I did, I know she’s my friend but I didn’t want to tell anyone. Someone called me from behind and when I turn around it was Blake.

“Blake, what are you doing here?”

“Can we talk?”

“I’ll go wait for you by the bench” Lisa said and she leaves

“What do you wanna talk about?”

“Us”

“Blake…”

“Come on Gaia, you know there’s something between us”

“Just because we slept together doesn’t mean there were sparks”

“It was more than that”

“Sarah!” I call for a red hair girl playing on the swings. She begins to run to me and Blake just stares at her. I tell her to go with Lisa by the bench.

“How old is she?” Blake asks

“What? I don’t know, five? Why?”

“Is she… mine?”

I try to hold my laughter but it blurted out “I’m sorry, um, no”

“She’s five… Last time we slept together was five years ago or so”

“She’s not my daughter Blake. I mean, maybe she’s yours, right? Who knows?”

“You’re gonna start with that?”

“Just go back to L.A. Blake… It was your dream wasn’t it?” I say walking away.

“I’m not going back without you”

“Well, you’re gonna have to… I’m moving to New York”

“What?! When?”

“In a month”

“Hey!” we hear someone yell

“Oh, shit” I whisper… it was Dustin, charging at Blake.

“You piece of shit! I dare you to touch her again” he tells Blake

“Oh, yeah? What are you gonna do about it?”

“Blake! Dustin, calm down”

“There’s nothing going on between you huh? I’m gonna kill him”

“I’d like to see you try”

“All right, that’s enough both of you!”

“What are you gonna do, you gonna go back to him Gaia?” Blake asks

“No”

“Yes, you are” Dustin says

“No, I’m not”

“Told ya” Blake mocks him

“Enough! Just stop! I’m not going with either of you!” I yell at them and I storm out of there.

*I went home to start some new designs but I decide to take a shower first. Before I could get in I hear the doorbell, so I put on a bathrobe and go downstairs.
