Tina Belcher sat on her bed at her parents house. Her old room was decorated the same as it had always been. Her horse posters were still strewn across the walls and figurines on every flat surface. Her old erotic fan/friend fictions stood upon a shelf near the window, bar one. In her hands was one of the many friend fictions she wrote about Jimmy Junior. Reading it made her sad.

Jimmy Junior was Tina's first everything. First slow dance, first kiss, first boyfriend, and first… She sighed. Tears swelled in her eyes as she remembered finding out the truth.

She remembered her trip to Australia to visit him at The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts. Jimmy had got some dancing scholar ship there. She had to work in every spare moment she had just to save up the money. She flunked one of her classes because she had no time to study, making her graduate a semester later than originally planned.

Tina remembered the moment. They were at a frat party, only they didn't have fraternities in Australia, so it was just a college party really, but it seemed very frat like to Tina. She'd gone to the bathroom for mere minutes and returned to see Jimmy passionately locking lips with his roommate Dave.

She remembered running out. Tina was so upset at what had happened, and unsure of what to do. She was a million miles from home, with no cell phone. As luck would have it, a kind girl from the party had followed her outside. She brought Tina back to her room and let Tina sleep on her bed while she slept on the floor.

In the morning, the girl managed to change Tina's flight, drive her to the airport and hug her goodbye. In Tina's upset and betrayed state, she never got the girls name. Tina always regretted that.

Tina had only been back in America for a week before Jimmy Junior changed his relationship status on Facebook to single and suddenly he started getting tagged in photos from months and months ago that Tina had never seen. There were photos of him kissing girls and boys, one picture showed him smiling while a blonde girl grabbed at his junk.

Tina was heart broken. She threw herself into school and work. Without Jimmy Junior as a distraction her GPA improved significantly. After graduation Tina got a job straight away, which was surprising 'in this economy.'

And now she was at home, in her old bedroom during her one week off for the summer.

"Tina!" Exclaimed Gene, her brother, as he burst into her room, "I know what to get Louise for her birthday!"

"Nineteen isn't really a big deal, maybe we can wait until her 21st to get her a present." Tina replied.

"I know!" Gene complained, "But there is a new tattoo shop open a couple of stores away from here, and I'm too scared to go inside without a good reason! I'm so curious! And Louise would LOVE a tattoo."

"I guess."

"And we hardly have sibling bonding time since Louise and I are at college and you are publisher."

"I work for a publishing firm, I'm not a publisher."

"Yeah, that's what I said."

"Ugh."

"Anyway, I'll call and make an appointment now."

"Fine."

Gene left. Tina looked at her friend fiction. It's not that she still had feelings for Jimmy that ship had sailed. But being there, in the room where they… She just didn't know if she could handle it.

"Tina," Gene popped his head in her door way, "Once I'm finished making this call, me and Louise are going to help you burn those."

"Thanks Gene."
