Preface
I storm into the front door of Chase's quiet house. His mom is in the kitchen slicing vegetables.
"Chase is upstairs in his room; you can go ahead up." She smiles at me.
I nod and keep walking. I tiptoe up the stairs so he won't hear me coming.
I get to his bedroom door, and pause. I take a deep breath, going over what I'm about to say one last time. Breath deeply once more; kick open the door.
I open my mouth to speak, but no words come out. I guess I don't even have to ask him now. I already know what Kaitlyn told me is true.
Chase is sitting on his bed in his boxers, surrounded by three other girls in their bras.
I take in the setting, and walk out of the room. I start to go down the stairs, but Chase grabs my arm.
"It's not what it looks like Amanda."
"Oh really? 'Cause it looked like you were just having a sleep over." I'm furious. "Is that what it is?"
Chase just stares at me. "No, I -"
"Just shut up. I don't wanna hear your story." I'm holding back tears, trying to keep my voice angry. "You know, the funny thing is, I came over here to tell you that Kaitlyn swore you were cheating on me. What's even funnier is the fact that I didn't believe her. I came here to cry on your shoulder about how Kaitlyn was lying."
He opened his mouth.
"SHUT UP." I took a deep breath. "I lied to myself the whole time. I knew Kaitlyn was telling the truth. I just wanted to believe the lies. The lies you told me."
"I didn't mean for any of this to happen."
"THE HELL YOU DIDN'T. Chase, you are such a player. You made up the rules of the game!"
"So I guess this means it's over...?"
"Uh, yeah."
"Oh."
"But, uh, before I go..." I lean into him, putting my mouth right next to his ear. "One last thing..."
"Oh, of course." Chase smiles.
"Can I ask you something..?" I ask as I run my finger across his chest.
"Anything, Amanda."
I blow on his ear. "Teach me how to jerk."
Chase laughs. "I don't know how."
"Oh, well that's too bad, 'cause you sure know how to act like one." I walk silently down the stairs, out the door, and down the street.
