Chapter 6

Randy's birthday weekend went off without a hitch. Except Ann knew the real reason she had given her virginity to Randy...She loved him yes, but she knew he really didn't feel the same way for her...She was still trying to figure out why they'd gotten married if he didn't love her enough to stop sleeping with other girls.

Randy was nice enough to not sleep with girls from their high school, but the surrounding high schools got a lot of action from him. Since they started dating, if she had a game to cheer at, he'd be having sex with another girl, If she had to cheer at an out of town game, he'd be having sex with another girl...If he went out of town for wrestling he would find one or two girls to have sex with.

Ann figured they got married and if she let him have sex with her, he'd stop sleeping around...but it wasn't the answer to the problem. Ann knew what had to be done...She didn't even need to confirm it with Tawny, who knew about Randy and his playboy image. Ann and Tawny just never realized it was a permanent thing in his life before Ann started dating and fell in love with him.

She sat in her bedroom, it was the weekend her parents were actually in town, only to be having a massive party and getting drunk with all their high society friends...Ann looked over and was staring at the picture of her and Randy on her desk...They both had their wedding rings on their middle fingers, so as to not give it away...Randy had bought simple silver braided matching bands. Their wedding certificate was in her top draw.

Randy was out with his friends probably getting drunk, or laid...They had exactly 1 day before graduation. To make matters worse Randy hadn't touched her since they had sex on his birthday. He would kiss her and hold her...but he just seemed distant.

Ann had found out about Randy joining the US Marine Corps, and was set for boot camp the day after graduation. Randy didn't even tell her...She found out from his dad. She stood up and started pacing her room...She ran her hand through her honey blonde hair as she kept thinking about the marriage certificate.

She couldn't stop pacing...She was weak...she couldn't believe she'd let herself get weak over a guy...and a high school guy at that...Damn it. She was too young and stupid to be married; she should have stopped the relationship when she knew he was having sex with other girls, she should have never married him when she knew he would never stop...She should of never let him have her virginity when she knew she was just deluding herself to the fact that he didn't really love her.

Ann walked over and grabbed the marriage certificate and took off in the middle of the night. She drove all the way to the next town where she and Randy had been married. When she got back home, her parents were still partying; she closed her bedroom door and laid across her bed crying. She cried herself to sleep.

The next morning brought a headache the size of the Grande Canyon, plus high school graduation. Ann got ready and drove her own car to the auditorium where graduation would be. When Randy wasn't there, she knew where he would be. She walked out the back door of the auditorium and there was Randy's mustang. She saw more then one person in there...and knew exactly what was going on.

Ann walked over and pulled the door open to see some brunette on Randy's jock...her blouse open and the only way the windows were that fogged up was because someone locked them in and they were trying to get out...Yeah RIGHT. Ann leaned over and said, "Randy...I think it's time we had a talk." And then slammed the door closed.

Randy pushed the girl off him as she fixed herself got out and looked at Ann with big cow eyes and said, "Yea...Lemme guess you didn't know." The girl looked like she was going to cry for Ann and shook her head no...As she took off and got into another car and left. Randy fixed himself and got out as he threw his cap and gown over the hood of his car and said, "I can explain."

Ann could feel the tears building in her eyes and said, "I don't want to hear it. When were you going to tell me about the Maine Corps? Here's an easy question...Did you ever love me?" Randy went to touch her, when she backed up...Randy said, "Yes I did love you, I still love you."

Ann said, "You know something I used to believe you...But I was only deluding myself...Lying to myself about all the other girls you were screwing. Then I was stupid enough to think that if I let you have sex with me, you'd stop screwing around...I was wrong. I was stupid and I was dead wrong. You don't love me, you never did...because how could you possibly love someone and yet turn around and sleep with so many other girls from the neighboring high schools, and yet look me in the eyes and tell me you love me..."

Randy said, "I'm so sorry you found out Ann." Ann wiped her tear and said, "You're sorry? SORRY! That's all you have to say to me? We spent 2 fuckin years together and the whole time you was fuckin other girls...we got married or did you forget that? You know something one day you're going to met the perfect girl, and she's gonna be everything you want in a wife. You're gonna give up all the other girls just to be with her until you die...and guess what...I hope she turns around and does the same thing you did to me! Because until that actually happens...you'll never know how I feel right now. You're sorry...You're not sorry Randy...You're a sad pathetic excuse for a human being."

Ann handed Randy a CD and a piece of folded up paper. And walked back into the auditorium to get her emotions under control.

Randy sat in his car and pushed the CD into his player and listened to the song.

Randy could feel the tears in his eyes...He knew he fucked up...he was so stupid...He'd let a thousand moments of weakness interfere for his love of Ann...He picked up the paper and opened it up and lost it completely in his front seat...It was the marriage certificate with a huge red ANNULLED stamp across the middle of the paper.

The day after the graduation, Randy left for the Marine Corps boot camp...and Ann...She just left...No one except Tawny knew where she'd gone...Her moment of weakness cost her 2 years of love, hate and pain.

Sucks to be weak doesn't it?
