Chapter 11

Do I?

Jesse woke up early the next morning excited about what the day held for her. Before she left she decided to say goodbye to Cub.

"Cub wake up baby."

"What, leaving already?"

"Yeah I thought I might want to get an early start."

"Oh."

"Cub what is wrong with you lately ever since last night you've been down in the dumps."

"I just feel like I'm losing ya already Jess."

"Cub you're not gonna lose me. I love you."

"Really well you sure did chose the opera over me."

"Cub what is wrong with you."

"You say you love me but you sure do chose things over me kinda quick."

"You know what forget you. Your jealousy has taken over your heart and I won't take it anymore. Goodbye Cub." She slammed his door and ran off as fast as possible.

"She's right my jealousy has gotten the best of me, and in return has taken away the best thing I've ever had. God why am I so stupid!"

Jesse felt so stupid for leaving him like that. She decided already that she wasn't gonna forgive him, that she knew he would always be the jealous type. So she was going to move on, without Cub in her life.

"Jesse it's good to see you. What's wrong?"

"Cub and I got into an argument so I've decided to get on with my life."

"I'm sorry to hear that. Do you feel like doing this right now?"

"Of course. Lets get started."

So she rehearsed, and rehearsed, and rehearsed, and before she knew it two weeks went by and it was opening night. She hadn't thought of Cub and was already dating Ryan who she adored and was beginning to love, but just couldn't really love him yet. It was show time so she hurried on stage.

She was a hit. Everyone who saw her loved her performance. She was showered with roses and congratulated to the edge.

"Lovely performance darling, just wonderful."

"Thank you Ryan."

"Look Jess, I was hoping you would want to see my mother tomorrow."

"I would love to."

"Alright then goodnight love.'

Love that's what Cub used to call her.

"Goodnight Ryan."

' I thought I got over Cub. I love Ryan now; Cub was just a fling I don't really love him still. Do I?'

Cub saw her performance. ' God she's so wonderful. Not to mention gorgeous. I miss her so much.' Cub was a wreck after she left him. He drank constantly and slept with the whores every night in their brothel. He wanted to feel loved again, but without Jesse he knew that wouldn't be possible.

"I love her so much. I just wish she would come back to me."
