Chapter 1: Introduction
My bf and I first got together during our second year of college. He was very sweet and unique, sensitive when he needed to be but extremely macho when the situation called for it. He was also on the college basketball team and over 6 feet tall and rather handsome as well. Naturally, he was really popular with us ladies. Now I am about to humble brag here, I'm a gorgeous blue-eyed blonde who most guys would die for. I have to say we made a rather picture perfect couple and I was keen on preserving the relationship. Basically I was a little possessive. One day, as I was strolling through the campus after classes got over, I overheard a few girls mention my boyfriend's name (James). This was nothing new seeing as he was popular so I let it go. Just as I was about to get going, I heard one of them say "I didn't even notice he had a new girlfriend, they both look so alike!" I was a bit anxious when I heard this so I asked James what it was all about.
I knew about him being in a relationship during his first year and that it was ended by her but never knew who it was or what she looked like. He said it didn't matter but I wanted to see her, so I forced him to tell me and after a few pouts, he obliged. When I saw her picture I was stunned, for she looked like she could be my long lost twin, from body dimensions to eye color and hair, it was an uncanny resemblance. I asked my him if she was the reason he was dating me but he defended himself, making up excuses. I let him off and instead turned my focus on her. However, exams were coming up so I had to study and ended up forgetting about her completely. That was until James and I were at a party and I spotted her.
I went up to her to introduce myself despite his many objections. It might be narcissist of me to say this but she was really hot and we really did look the same. She in turn smiled at me warmly, and I really sensed no ill-intentions from her. We talked for a bit and and she mentioned how similar we looked and we were getting along well. At one point I excused myself to go to the bathroom and when I returned, she was nowhere to be seen... and neither was James. I called James and searched around the house until I saw them making out in a room.
I had never felt such anger and jealousy all at once. I shouted at them both for their disrespect and accosted her with every cuss word I could think of, she remained silent with an evil smile. He tried pulling me away, but I shrugged him off and stole one last look at her, she was just a crack in my perfect relationship and The Thought of her getting what he had, got my temperature rising. James and I had quite the fight right then, we argued and fought constantly, and that's when my possession and competitive nature kicked in.
I thought I had to prove something, a need to get one up on Heather and I didn't care what I had to do to make that happen. Jealousy consumed my every thought, but I hid behind my walls and pretended I was okay, I put up a facade of confidence and strength, when in reality, I felt vulnerable and weak. Little did I know, my life was about to take a turn I never expected.
