The Case of the Broken Heart

Jake and I were inseparable since that night. He got his marriage to whatever-her-name annulled pretty quick and he asked me to be his girlfriend.

But eventually we both had to get back to work. I was spending a lot of time hacking other's computers.

Eventually with our busy work schedules Jake started to stay over, which I was fine with. I guess I was just always wishing for more...

Except I wish I didn't even know him when he woke me up early to throw around the foot ball.

But he was always sweet

And eventually...

He gave me what I wished for...

And it seemed as though we got even closer.

Life was great, I was getting promotion after promotion, building my logic skills and I had the boy I always wanted.

Jake was taking in a lot of overtime so I spent a few days at home cleaning up the mess that's been building up. Until I got a call that Jake needed some private investigator help.

I couldn't believe what my boss was telling me, that Jake Lane hadn't had a date in awhile and wanted help finding new love. It was impossible, a pure mistake! I rushed over to find and talk to him. He seemed so oblivious that I was hurt by his request to meet new girls.

And I tried to ignore it, and I attempted to ask someone if they would want to see Jake but just the thought aggravated me and made me sick.

I couldn't do this anymore.

After work Jake always hit the gym so I went there. My face was tear stained and I'm sure I didn't look too great. I found him on the second floor. Once he saw me he smiled and headed over.

"Lyssa, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong! You're wanting to see other people! And not even considering my feelings. I thought everything was fine between us! I can't believe you!"

"Alyssa calm down, let me explain."

"No, you have always been distant with me in little ways but I thought we had finally got past that. I won't be with a man who doesn't want me with his whole heart. We're over, Jake."

Jake couldn't form another sentence, he ran down the stairs and out of my sight. I took in a deep breath and stiffled a whimper. I couldn't cry right now, I needed to forget Jake and what better way with getting my endorphins up so I wouldn't be sad.

I can't believe I just broke up with him.
