Back when I was in high school, I dated this girl (we met junior year and had been on and off between friends and bf/gf till senior year) until she said she only really liked me as a friend. (We never done the nasty) We met up the summer after graduation and dated for about a month or so... Here's where shit hit the fan. The day we broke up, she was at a friends house, and i was trying to text her about setting up a date later that week. (Because she was VERY distant since we got back together) So I called her about it and this dude answers saying I was calling "his girl" and how he would kick my ass, so i gave him an address to meet that afternoon @ 3p.m. and said "we will see who walks away and who won't" and hung up on the scrub. She called me right after and said it was a joke and that she gave her friend the phone (very immature thing to do)I told her that her friend needed to either follow through on his words or apologize (which was all I wanted, really). I hung up. She called back, saying that she was sorry for everything. For me, those words were too little, too late. I was done with the damn games. I called her out on her shit, (she had done other stuff I won't mention) called her a coward, she betrayed my trust, and what had happened and what she had done was not something I was looking for in a gf, or even a friend. We had a huge falling out, and I walked away from it all destroyed and betrayed. We didn't have any contact for a little over a year. And that was a shit year. After that year, I called her brother because I didn't have her number, and I needed my grandpa's handkerchief because I gave it to her and he passed away. So, I wanted it back for obvious reasons. He said she was home and that she still had it. I came to pick it up. We ended up going for a walk and talking. She ended up crying and literally embraced me for an hour, expressing her resent at herself. I told her that she had one last chance to prove to me that she had changed, and that she deserved a place by my side. Fast forward to now... We've been together for 4 years and are currently engaged. She cleaned her act up, proved herself tenfold, and grew into someone I love. She is my best friend and I deserve her, and her me. Even though I'm from west Philadelphia born and raised On a playground is where I spend most of my days. Chillin out, maxin' relaxin' all cool, and sootin some b-ball outside of the school...
