are different. I like the fact that you are your own person and you are talented. You are so passionate about your music and your writing and I really admire all of that." Presley was confused by his drastic change of character. She couldn’t understand how he could admit to dating other girls, and then have the audacity to profess his love for her.
    “You don’t love me, Tyler,” Presley said quietly.
    “I don’t?” he smirked.
    “No,” she continued sadly, “I’m pretty sure that love isn’t supposed to hurt, and all you have done for the past six months is hurt me. Whether it be breaking our dates or just plain standing me up, do you know how many nights I’ve waited right here at this window? Do you know how many nights I’ve waited and hoped to see your car lights come down the road?” She pointed to the small bay window which faced the front of the house. “I would fall asleep on the couch, waiting for you, only to wake there in the early morning hours alone, and still no Tyler, not even a call! And then I would accept your dumb excuses of where you were -your lame excuses. You know what, Tyler? I think that you’re a lame excuse of a boyfriend. You’re just a self-centered boy. I’ve graciously overlooked your flaws-hoping you would change. I’m seeing now that you won’t."
    “This isn’t going to work,” he chuckled arrogantly.
    “That’s right. This isn’t going to work and it hasn’t been working. I guess the only way this would work is if I were okay with you having other girlfriends,” she said calmly as tears fell from her face. Tyler looked at Presley with a half smile, but didn’t speak. “You would just love that wouldn’t you, Tyler? The bottom line is that you are not the person I wanted you to be, and you never were. And you have been cheating on me all along. Just tell me this Tyler, if you wanted to date other girls, then why didn’t you just break up with me?”
    “Presley, I think you are a little too overbearing in this relationship. If you want to call it cheating then -okay. I have dated a few girls while I was seeing you,” he said nonchalantly.
    “Tyler! That’s called cheating! Let me get this straight. For months I’ve been asking you about various rumors, all of which you’ve denied. How many of your friends knew? I feel like such a fool. You have led me to believe that I had a problem, that I was crazy! What did you just say? Oh, yes, that I had ‘abandonment issues.’ You are so egotistical. Just get out of my house,” she said with disgust. Presley went back to the laundry room and took Tyler’s damp shirt out of the dryer and threw it at him. “Leave now,” she said louder and more assertive this time.
    “Pres, just listen— hear me out,” he begged.
    “Why?” Presley said angrily. “Everything that comes out of your mouth is a lie!” As she yelled at him he walked backward toward the door.
    “Presley, I know that you’re mad right now. But I would like the chance to explain,” he said.
    “You just said it was over, that this wasn’t going to work, and now you want to ‘explain’ yourself. And I am the one who’s crazy? Anyone would go crazy trying to figure you out. I want off of this rollercoaster. Tell Mary that she can have you. Get out!” she screamed.
    Tyler stood still, waiting for Presley to change her mind like she had in all their other fights. She didn’t budge this time. At least not yet anyway. Tyler walked outside and Presley shut the door. She watched out of the front bay window, through the downpour of rain, as Tyler stood on the side of the gravel road for a few minutes.
    She saw him talking on his cell phone and figured he had called for a ride. A few minutes later, Ryan pulled into the gravel driveway. Tyler got in the truck and they sped down the road. After realizing that Samantha stayed with them, Presley felt very alone. She sat down on the couch and cried into a lavender throw pillow. Tyler had always
