Paige. What can I say about her? She was my best friend. She affected my life more than anyone else. We did everything together. She was the one who convinced me to date Jimmy, who was my first boyfriend.
I thought it would be cool, dating Jimmy. I mean… Paige and I were best friends and so were Jimmy and Spinner. It was fun for the first couple months. We would double date and Jimmy and I would make out in the backseat. So, obviously, we were having fun.
I never told anyone what I'm about to tell you…
I decided to go all the way with him, after we were dating for a couple months. It was great… until he screamed someone else's name. Ashley's.
It was then that I realized that he was still hung up on his ex, who, at the time, was heartbroken over Craig. I started to wonder if there was something going on between them. And, I admit I was getting really jealous. Jimmy could tell this, which is why he finally told me the truth about their relationship… they had sex almost every day. Yeah, and Ash was supposed to be my friend, and she didn't tell me.
I felt so betrayed. What topped it off was when Jimmy was flirting with Ellie. So, I dumped him, and now I'm here.
Back to Paige… After Jimmy and I broke up, Paige started acting a little weird to me. She would touch me a lot and ask me over her house alone. It took me forever, but I finally figured out that she's a lesbian, or at least bi.
That got me thinking… what if I took a different path in my life? It was obvious she chose this path because of her past. So, now I'm sitting on my bed, holding the brick that's attached to the string that will hang me.
I look at Jimmy's picture and kiss it goodbye. I drop the brick to the ground. Now there's no other way to go but up…
