Chapter 2

The next night, she came online at the same time. I did not think that she was going to say anything to me, but that she was going to forget that I had existed. I was greatly suprised, and much relieved when she sent me an IM first.

"Hey hon. How are you?"

"I am doing well, thanks. How are you?"

"Just got back from my chemistry class. We had a test, and I just know that I totally bombed it. Other than that, I am good. I couldn't want to get back on here and talk to you." I was completely shocked at this. Had I made that much of an impression on her?

"Wow, sorry to hear about the test. I was good in chemistry, when I was in high school. Maybe I can help you out with your next test. I couldn't wait to talk to you either. I have some news for you."

"Thanks! The help with the chemistry is greatly appreciated. What news?"

"My gf and I broke up last night, after you and I stopped talking. The differences we had could not be resolved, and we decided that it was over, together."

"Honey, I am sorry that you and her broke up. Maybe it's for the best." How could it be for the best? The best thing that had walked into my life had just walked out of it, and I felt like dying. The only thing that was masking me feel any better was talking to her.

"Perhaps, but, it still hurts. I loved her a lot, and I thought that she and I were going to get married, have our own life, and raise a family. It's hard to think about where I am going to go now."

"Well, I am here for you. All you have to do is to e-mail me. Or, even better, here is my cell #. I have free minutes after 6 PM, so, feel free to call me anytime. 858-555-2323."

"Wow, thanks a lot. I will call you sometime. Not sure when."

"Why don't you call me now. I am sure that you can use a friend, and it's 7:19 PM."

"You sure, I mean, we did just mean yesterday and all. Do you trust me?"

"Yes, silly, I trust you. Just call me." I did not know what I could expect. What if her boyfriend was there, and he was going to threaten to come pummle me if I ever talked to her again? What if she was going to laugh in my face, and call me a pathetic loser for just losing my gf, while she still had her boyfriend?

"Ok, I will call you in just a moment. Let me finish what I am doing on here."

"Alright, I will be waiting."

I got my Mom's cell phone, as I still lived at home, and I knew that she had free minutes after 6 PM as well. So, I dialed her phone, but what I heard on the other end was something that I did not expect.

"Get out of here, you fucking asshole. I can't believe that you would do that to me. She's a fucking slut, and there you are with your dick in her cunt. You make me sick, you fucking bastard. Get the fuck out of here, or I will kill you!" What the hell was going on? Who was Jessica talking to? Was it me? It couldn't be me... I wasn't there, I wasn't screwing a slut... so, what was going on.

"Jessica, are you ok?" All that I could hear was her sobbing, as the door slammed in the background. As a man who does not like to see women hurt, especially ones as sweet as Jessica, I became furious with whomever it was that hurt her, and if I would have seen them, I would have been hell-bent on kicking their ass.
