she was like a perfect glass of lemonade with only two ice cubes on a warm summer day in june. she was needed in my life. she made me smile. whenever i saw her, she looked great. even on her worst days, she looked amazing. i was in love with her. but, she didn't love me. and i didn't know why.

i was walking in the woods when suddenly my phone vibrated from my the pocket of my blue jeans. i unlocked it, typed in the password, and checked the text.

from; joshica

i love you.

k bye.

i sighed and replied.

to; joshica

okay?

i didn't believe in love. i've had my heart broken too many times to bother with love anymore. i just stopped believing that it exists. i just didn't have the guts to tell josh about my beliefs. i sighed and dragged myself out of the woods and over the wire fence into my backyard. as i walked into the house, my mom gave me a weird look.

'where were you, young lady?' she asked

'i went for a walk.' i mumbled and sat on top of the kitchen table

'why?' she replied

'because, i felt like it.' i mumbled

'i had everyone looking for you! i had josh, your grandma, your dad, and your sisters looking for you.'

'oh' i slowly replied

'yeah, just go up to your room.' she said and pointed in the direction of the room that was called mine

i didn't feel like i belonged here. i belonged nowhere. i belonged with no one. not even josh.

i kept reading the text from leah over and over again. my mind refused to believe that all she said to me was 'okay'. i just told her i love her for shits sake! and this is the reaction i get?!

i pulled myself back down out of the clouds and back into reality. i read the text one more time then chucked my phone at the wall. i stood up and left my room, going downstairs to find my roommate, tyler.

'hey man.' tyler said to me from his spot on the sofa

'hey...' i replied, sounding extremely disappointed

'what's wrong, dude?' tyler questioned, standing up

i looked down and sighed as tyler walked over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. i couldn't make eye contact with him, i just didn't want to.

'josh, i'm not that stupid. i can tell when something is wrong with you,' tyler said, rubbing my shoulder gently. 'just tell me what's wrong. it won't hurt you.'

yes it will. i thought.

'just girl issues.' i replied and walked into the kitchen

i stood by the sliding glass doors that led out to the backyard. i had to talk to leah about her reply to my text message.
