It was no lie I was lonely, but no man in the past could fill the void in my heart. I was young when I let a night out go a little too far. The man I went home with was quite the smooth talker, he said all the right things. This wasn’t my first hookup, I hadn’t been in a committed relationship in over five years. In my mind staying single was easier, I couldn’t be hurt again if I didn’t get attached. That night with the man without a name, turned out to be what I thought was going to be my wildest adventure. Roughly a month after that hook up I made the decision to take a pregnancy test. I had been nauseated for a couple weeks, was more tired than normal, and had a headache that just wouldn’t go away. To me the three-minute wait felt like an …show more content…
He led me to his vehicle and opened the door for me, which was surprising, none of my past hookups had ever been this gentleman like. It was refreshing. Once we were both in the car, he started it up and pulled out of the parking spot. “I’ve seen you at every party the frat has every had, I know you can dance, out drink every guy in that house, and kick ass at beer pong but I don’t know your name. Mind changing that.” “Damn, kinda creepy, the name’s Ray, you? How long you been watching me at these parties before I caught you?” “A little while, hard not to watch you, I mean you tend to stay at the center of the crowd if you’re not playing pong or fixing up a drink.” “Fair enough, still didn’t answer my question. What’s your name?” “I’d lose my mysterious quality if I told you my name, now wouldn’t I?” “Hell man, I ain’t asking you to tell your life story, just your name. Just wanna make sure you’re not a murder who’s planning on killing me.” “If I wanted to kill you, I would’ve done so already and I wouldn’t have left an entire party worth of witnesses. My name’s
We instantly started talking about the film we wanted to see and proceeded to get our tickets together. After the movie, he politely asked if it was okay for him to hold my hand and I let him. We walked around the whole mall hand-in-hand talking about the movie we just watched. Then we went outside for a full-blown make out session in a secluded spot. The only reason we stopped was because security told us to leave the premises, we could have easily been there all night. My mom had dropped me off at the mall that night and so he offered to give me a ride home. Right before dropping me off he asked for me to be his girlfriend. And then he shared he was already falling deeply in love with me. I was so shocked by how fast it all happened and it all seemed like a dream to me. I agreed to be his girlfriend, but told him a benevolent lie when I also agreed that I was also falling in love with him already because I did not want to hurt his feelings (Alder, pg 97). Our first date was intriguing because it first felt like we were barely initiating our relationship, then experimenting, then straight to intensifying, all the way to integrating the relationship by the end of the night.
“…So I was invited over to one of the guy’s apartments, but I didn’t want to go by myself, so I asked one of my girlfriends to come with me. We got there and it was so f*cking weird. They were all sitting around in a big circle, just like staring at each other. It was so boring, so I just decided to start drinking like crazy. There was this one guy that kept staring at me and I mean, I guess he was kind of cute, so I started talking to him. Next thing I know, I’m hooking up with him. I knew he was one of the vets on the team, so I was so stoked about that. My friend ended up with another one of the guys in a different room and after me and my guy were done, I hooked up with one of the rookies and he couldn’t even f*cking get it up! I honestly dislike rookies. They don’t know what they’re doing.”
While trying to get the information, he forgets what his fake name is.
After chatting with him for about twenty minutes, I was able to get him to reveal a few very important details about himself. He had been on the streets for about the past 6 y...
What you did!’ [Sam] … ‘No. I lost my son, I can’t lose her too. You tell her, I’ll ruin you’ [Sam]... ‘You owe me’ [Sam] (How to Get Away with Murder).
What do you want?” “It doesn’t matter who I am. It doesn’t matter what my name is.” He said a bit angry, but then he went on more friendly: “I’m going to help you out of this situation. You deserves better.
After about 10 minutes or so, I finally convinced myself that it had to be done. The previous couple weeks I had constant stomach pains, and in a way, I knew the source of them, but didn’t want to believe it. But I had to be sure. As I walked in the doors, I felt like everything was in slow motion. I walked to aisle 4, picked up a pregnancy test and walked to the register to spend my last 8 dollars on a test that would determine my future. I drove home asking myself what I was going to do. As I walked in the door my grandmother asked me what was wrong. I told her that I wasn’t feeling well and went in my room. I sat on the bed staring at the test. I decided to text my boyfriend and tell him I had bought one. I didn’t wait for a reply before I walked to the bathroom. I sat there, in a half-there-half-not state of mind. after 15 minutes or so, I opened the box and took the test. On the box it said it was suppose to take 10-15 minutes to show up, but almost immediately I saw those 2 red lines. My heart sank. I didn’t know what to or who to tell. Maybe it was a false positive? I doubted it. I texted my boyfriend and told him to come home, we needed to talk. I want to be able to say that we were both ecstatic and couldn’t conceal our happiness, but that wasn’t exactly the case. We were both terrified. We couldn’t believe it was true. We both knew that life would
Receiving my first job was a huge milestone in life, as it is for any teen. The feeling was equivalent to learning how to tie a shoe and being picked first for kickball. It was basically a moment where I truly became aware that I was growing up, that “this was it” I was finally going to cut the ties and become my own provider. To prove myself and others, that I can handle the so called “Real World”. However, upon entering my first job, most teenagers were unaware the of the reasonability that came with it. It was pretty much treated like a last period class, “if you show up you pass” kind of deal. When in actuality, it was much more. Working as a ride operator at a local amusement park, Lake Winnie, many would assume that it would be the easiest
Relationships are a commonality among all human beings dating back to the Garden of Eden when Eve was paired with Adam, and can leave lifelong impressions on someone. The story of a person’s past romantic relationship can provide a glimpse not only into his or her history, but also shed light on the type of person they are today as a result of that interaction. Discovery of this information comes about by engaging in a conversation with someone about his or her past, which is what I did with a friend of nine years. Fortunately, the overall experience had a positive impact on both of us.
...lorida and that he bought a house. He told me I could stay over when I go down there. I say, “okay” just to be polite. He gave me his number and he asked me for mine. I thought “ I do not want to give you my number, are you crazy?” So I told him I had to go to class, I’ll call him when I go to Florida.
From a young age, I was very curious. Curiosity caused my mind to see everything from a different perspective than most. I saw what could be improved and how I could improve. For example, when it came to editing movies, I was always able to see what could how it could have been better or I questioned how they had created it. My curiosity led me to try many different activities throughout high school, such as film camps, stage managing for plays, yearbook, and even creating videos for Rochester High School’s awards day. Finally, my junior year, I decided it was time I made films of my own for competitions. I wanted to have something that I could call my own. When it came to the two films I did for contests, I was there throughout the whole process.
The fairy tales say that once upon a time a girl met a boy; they fell in love, and lived happily ever after. Reality is not that simple. Long-term relationships force couples to get to know each other, involve themselves in each others’ worlds, fight through the hard times, and eventually develop deeper connections through distinctive stages of Knapp’s relationship model. Although I have dated the same person for over two years, the stages of our communication make it seem as though I am now dating a different person following dissolution and subsequent repair. However, even the most exhilarating of roller coaster rides develop through a combination of ups and downs, much like the stages of a relationship.
“Be loud and assertive!”, “be funny and sweet”, “be fast and professional!” So much advice was being thrown at me from different directions and there was shy little me, trying to make sense of it all. One would think I was getting prepared for a big speech or a big game. Really, I was just getting ready to serve my first table as a waitress. I always tried to stick with the easier jobs like retail or food concessions, but so much talk of good tips drew me in. So yeah, stepping out of my comfort zone was scary and stressful but going home with money in my pocket every night is a little bit exciting.
