Where were we headed? Hurt People 7

I was happy for you when you were up for that promotion, even though I knew it meant moving, and I didn’t know what that meant for me. You didn’t take the offer right away, because you wanted us to think about our future together, but I knew it was killing you inside that you couldn’t tell your dad about it yet. Then, you started getting interviewed by Valerie for her journalism internship. Why did you tell her that you were taking the job? That was the first time we argued. You said you were sorry and that you’d turn down the promotion for me, but that wasn’t what I wanted. I know you were gushing about how I was your dream girl and the answer to your prayers in the interview, too, but if you hadn’t made up your mind yet, why would you say that you have? You said that everyone thought we were perfect together and that we were so lucky to have each other, and I thought so too, but I’m not sure how I felt. You asked if I really loved you, and I said, “Yes, of course.”
You were supportive when I landed the role of Esmeralda in Hunchback, and you told me that it would be my big break. When Valerie interviewed you again for her report, you told her that you’d never be where you are now if it weren’t for my support. That felt like a lot of pressure to live up to. It had been so long since middle school and it was awkward having Valerie come by when neither of us had much to say to each other. Things were going well for you, and I didn’t want to rain on your parade, but I don’t want to make excuses, either. I should have told you that I was meeting with Jackson again. I wanted to talk with someone who understood me.

When I went out with him, he said that I should invite you next time so that you two could get to know each other, but I was afraid that might be a bad idea, because then you’d know I didn’t tell you about seeing him again. When I got back, you kept asking about my day. Were you suspicious of me?
