say a word. I knew I needed to get her inside because I
surely did not want any neighbors to hear my business.
    “Don’t you dare walk passed me like you don’t see me
standing here Samantha?” Allison was right on my trail. I just unlocked my door
and dropped my things to the floor right next to the couch. I went straight for
the refrigerator and grabbed a water. After taking a drink I turned to face
her, “I am not pretending I don’t see you I just didn’t want you airing my
business on my front lawn.” She continued to glare at me and I stared directly
back at her. “Do you realize how stupid your being about all this Allison…I
mean it is my fucking life and you are stalking me telling me how I should be
living it!” Oh shit I threw the first knife…here she goes.  “OH FUCK YOU! You
know what Sam I have been there for you this entire time…actually our entire
lives. You are going to stand here and tell me to butt out because I am saying
the truth and you don’t want to hear it. Well excuse me for not sugar coating
the truth and jumping on your god damn pity train. Fine you want me to butt
out…FINE! I am out don’t fucking call me at midnight when you are up and can’t
sleep because you can’t stop crying. Don’t call me the next time you run into
Tony and Heather together. If you want to waste away…DO IT! But leave me out of
it.” Alli turned and walked to the door holding the handle without turning back
around, “You know what Sam, Wes is a great guy…he has had his obstacles to but
I guess you won’t ever know because you want to act like a little bitch and
throw the chance away. A guy like that isn’t going to be waiting around
forever!” She opened the door and I hollered after her, “I never fucking asked
you to set me up Allison…so go fuck yourself!”
    And that was it she was gone. I felt miserable when we
fought but…I wasn’t backing down. She never should have had Wes come to the
Deli yesterday. She was playing with my life. I wonder how quickly she would
get over it if Mitch started screwing every willing girl he came in contact
with.
    There was just one thing about Samantha and me we are
both extremely stubborn when it came to each other. I knew I wasn’t backing
down and it was a guarantee she wouldn’t either. This was going to drag out
until someone forced us to get over it.
    The rest of the week really was hard it seemed to drag on
forever and I really felt like a piece of my heart was missing but I pushed
through it. I avoided the couple calls that came from Wes I felt like an idiot
for having him involved in my mess. I actually was embarrassed by the way I
acted and felt it was easier to avoid him. He deserved someone that could give
back a hundred percent and I knew that wasn’t something I was ready for. I
wasn’t sure if I would ever be ready to. What Tony did to me had really given
me some big insecurity about myself and I knew it would be too hard to trust
again.
    I was leaving the store on Friday night after work and I
saw Wes walking in holding hands with a little girl which as I got closer I
realized it was his daughter…on the other side of MaKayla was a gorgeous blond.
She had flowing hair that laid in big curls down her back. She had a beautiful
smile and a perfect body. My heart was in my throat as I quickly ducked next to
a van to watch them walk passed. They were swinging the little girl back and
forth between them and she was giggling which caused them both to laugh along
with her. I figured that had to be his ex-wife. Maybe they were working things
out sure looked as if they were happy I mean they were going to the grocery
store together. Who did that with their Ex…I wasn’t sure why I felt jealous all
of a sudden it wasn’t like he was mine.
    After they entered the store I quickly made my way to my
car and drove home.

    The next couple weeks went by so slowly. I almost caved
and called Allison a couple times but stopped myself
