Taking the Long Way – (Chapter: 35: Everything Changes)
“You said it was all a misunderstanding and that you were too stubborn to wait for the truth. What does it all mean?” I asked softly.
“Yeah…it was all me…just me jumping to conclusions and not asking for clarity.” Jena said.
“What conclusions Jena, the conclusion of us? What part of breaking up with me and shipping out to Italy with hardly a good bye did you think was a good idea? I would really like to hear what I did that was so wrong to warrant that and how the hell did Kaylen get included in your wrath?” I blurted. I just wanted to know everything right now.
“Well I thought you and Kaylen having sex was a pretty good reason to for me to bail!” She shot back.
“WHAT?! Why the FUCK would you think I would sleep with Kaylen? No offense Kaylen.”
Kaylen shook her head. “None taken Spencer. That was pretty much my exact reaction too.”
“Well that is where my big misunderstanding and not actually asking what happened comes in.” Jena sighed.
She continued with her explanation of what she thought happened and Kaylen filled in details. I vaguely remembered that night. I knew I had a nightmare about Clay but I didn’t remember Kaylen comforting me. I remembered waking up the next morning and crying because Jena hadn’t come home at all..or so I had thought. The gravity of the whole situation started to rock over me. A whole year of silence, a sister bond stretched thin and a love lost all for a misunderstanding. It felt like my heart was breaking all over again. I couldn’t stop the waves of tears, anger and regret from washing over me.
“So you lied to me on the phone when you said you wanted to start dating guys?” I gulped through sobs and tears. Jena looked away. “Did you sleep with guys?” I asked wanting to know if she was still confused with her sexuality.
“Just one.” She said weakly.
“Who?” I saw Kaylen shift uncomfortably.
“Just some guy in Italy. It was horrible Spencer. I have never liked guys like that. I was just hurt and confused about what I assumed about you and Kaylen. I just wanted to hurt you both back.”
“How would sleeping with a random guy hurt Kaylen….?” I asked. Just as I finished my question I knew the answer.
“Oh God Jena…you didn’t…..Justin?” I whispered recalling Kaylen’s reason of their summer breakup.
“Spencer I am sorry. It was horrible. I cried the whole time.” She said with anguish.
I was speechless. We had done so many things to hurt each other that had resulted from an innocent act of a friend helping a friend. Kaylen was crying softly and Jena was hugging her.
Kaylen and Jena were right, it did change everything. I wasn’t quite sure in what way yet, but so much had changed. It was maddening. Should I forgive? Should I give that second chance I preached so much about?
I felt someone kneel in front of me and gently pick up my hands. “Spencer can you ever forgive me? I am so sorry. Please tell me I wasn’t just a passing phase to you. Is there still some part of you that has love for me?” Jena whispered moving her hands to wipe tears from my cheeks.
I looked into the never ending ocean blue of her eyes. She cupped my face and I put my hands over hers. My heart was shredding. I was going to hurt someone I loved so much with my answer. I was tired of all the pain. I just wanted everything to go back to the way it was before, but before what?
Before Jena left? Before Ashley knocked on my door?
