Author's Note: Awful. I hate it. It's terrible. But please be nice because today was seriously a shite day.


Day One-Hundred Twenty-One: I Want You Back by The Jackson 5

I couldn't believe I was dumb to not even want him around.

Toby was, more and more I thought about it, the best guy I'd ever been with. Not only was he attractive, but he was sweet and kind. But I never really paid him any mind and I didn't treat him the way he deserved to be treated.

Now that I've let him go, I wanted him back. It was hard without him around. Maybe it wasn't even how much I missed the kisses I didn't want or the compliments I never asked for. Maybe it was just him being around.

Like a sleepwalker, I got up from my bed and walked out of the dorm into the autumn air. The campus looked pretty, as usual, but not as pretty as before. Hopefully, I'd find him in the library, where he spent most of his time now.

I walked into the library with an open mind and a very hopeful heart. I wanted to show him that I loved him, and I'd love him the right way this time. I wanted him to hold me like he used to.

I found him beside the art history stack. Of course. He loved to look at books about classical and neo-classical architecture and sculptures. I walked cautiously towards him.

"Toby?"

He must've realized I was standing beside him and took his headphones off. "Spencer?" It was like we hadn't seen each other in ages and were getting reacquainted.

"Can we talk?" I asked softly.

He nodded and I sat in the chair next to him. "I'm sorry about how everything happened between us," I told him softly.

"I don't really care anymore, Spencer. It's over and done with. We can both move on," he said stoically.

"I was hoping we could move on."

I didn't make any movements, but I stared him in the eyes.

"I can't," he said when he finally realized what I was getting at. "I'm…I'm seeing someone else now," he said finally. "And she's wonderful and appreciates me for me," he added coldly before getting his books and leaving me in the lurch.


I sat there, dumbfounded, for God only knew how long. I finally got myself to walk back to my dorm some time later. The sun was already setting by then.

I was upset, but not surprised. He was a great guy. And I certainly deserved all of that.

Someone had chosen him and now I had lost him.

I guess I just had to face it; that was the truth. And now I was chasing a boy I didn't even want around when he used to chase me.

But now he didn't. He found someone new.


LittleBittyAbby: Umm...well, I respect your opinions and all, but I guess I never really thought about Keegan in that light. I've never even really seen him have an actual girlfriend aside from Chuck Grant (LDR's sister), but I think they broke up. But I've never seen him act overly flirty/disrespectful/manipulative with the girls who like him. I don't think it's really his fault that those girls like him and pay so much attention to that kind of stuff and that behavior they exhibit is dumb to me anyway. But Keegan doesn't have control over his fans. And if we're being honest, I'm pretty much in full agreement with what he said about people not supporting gay marriage, though I wouldn't use those exact words and call them idiots. Love is love and marriage is just a promise of love, so why shouldn't gay people be allowed to get married? It's just a guy marrying another guy/girl marrying another girl. It's not really any different. If he said something like people aren't allowed to think gay marriage is wrong, then that's another thing, but in my opinion, he was just expressing his opinion, so I don't see the big deal. But like you said, you're entitled to your own opinion, so if that's your opinion of him, that's fine.

Sarah:Lol. My life is shite right now. Don't even talk to me about "Perfect lives." But I guess I understand that. Without any conflict, there's no entertainment or drama or stuff to bitch about, so I get it...

AL3110:Well, if it made your vision hazy and like the world was spinning around you/you were moving without control, I guess its name was quite correct. No, I think Alyssa guessed that. You're wrong. That's not even in the collection. You're getting colder.

MilaMizz:My mom wanted me to take its body and throw it out and I was like, "HELL NO. I'm not doing that!" Then, she wanted me to walk past it to get the garbage can and I was still like, "NO! I'm going to get rabies!" I've been on FF for a year and a few months now. I joined like 5 days after my 14th birthday. I'm really glad I joined. I feel like it's saved my life. Ooh, deep shite.

This was horrible but I'm really just not in the mood.
