A/N: "Everything Is Embarrassing" by Sky Ferreira. I love that song.
Lately, having a Saturday off from work was a great opportunity for Jen to think–think about school, friends, her future, and her ex-boyfriend Travis. Travis is, or rather was, the one that got away. She could've sworn that she was falling in love with him, but things ended too quickly for her to even know what her feelings were. In the last two months she was able to get over the fact that their relationship ended, but still had thoughts of what could have been.
It's been somewhat of a challenge to avoid seeing him or hearing his name considering the fact that Coach Halder still brings him into conversation, unaware that he and Jen broke up. At first it was like pouring salt into an open wound, but nowadays it's just like tugging at a scar. Another challenge is that every now and then she sees him on local and even national sports news. Nikki, Caitlin, Jude, and Wyatt sometimes ask her if everything is alright just to make sure that she's still not borderline depressed over him. She surely wasn't depressed anymore, although that didn't mean she doesn't still think about him.
It's not like Travis didn't care about Jen. It's just that his budding sports career would get in the way of what they shared, which is why he decided to break things off with her before she became bitter and fed up with sports consuming their entire relationship.
At least Jen had great friends supporting her. Besides, Caitlin and Nikki–mostly Caitlin, actually–kept reminding her that one day she would find that one special guy who'd be there for her and love her. Little by little, she believed it. It would happen one day.
