The truth lies.

"What about Gabbie?" James asked.
"She was a sexy girl" he added.
"Yeah, she definitely was" the architect responded.

I stood there horrified. With a 24oz container of tupperware in my
hands filled with who knows what.

"He wanted to be her boyfriend. But she didn't want him."
I nodded. Still horrified, still holding the tupperware.

He told me to write my name down next to the type of tupperware I was
taking, so he could get it back from me when he came back from the
other side of the world.

Then I woke up. I was angry, felt betrayed. Like I wasn't good enough
for him. Like there was actually a Gabbie all along and like it
mattered. And I know that he would leave even if he loved me a
thousand times over, but this dream made me realize the extent of my
infatuation. And it scared me. I couldn't get out of bed. I was
mortified not because of the dream, but because of the realization.

About Me

I like run-on sentences and also syntax based loosely on the approved constructs of grammar.
