Read True Love: The Story About Choices Page 5

were still in the room were Morgan and Macy, each honestly worried about Josh's health.  When Josh woke up he reached out his hands for a hug from Morgan but was sandwiched between them both within a second. 

  If looks could kill then both Macy and Morgan would have killed each other.  Josh sneezed and they both backed away.  He had a cold, and it stayed that way until night, when he got in his bed and lay there.  Morgan crept into his room a half hour later.  They had planned this from he beginning but it was supposed to be the other way around.  When Morgan came in she got under the covers and cuddled.  As sleep claimed Josh, he wondered when he would have the courage to tell Morgan what Macy and Rachel had done to him.

  Morgan slapped Josh across the face, turning his cheek bright pink. "How could you?!" she screamed.

  "How is that possibly my fault? They had me chained to the bed!" replied Josh.  Morgan started sobbing and she cuddled close to Josh. "It’s ok," Josh said, trying to soothe her "Nothing is wrong now."

  "I don't know Josh," she wept "I just don’t know."  It was the morning and Josh and Morgan had just made love the night b4 and Josh felt guilt-ridden the whole time, because Morgan had been all happy that they had lost their virginity to each other.  Today was the day that they were heading back home, and tomorrow was school.  The day went by without much talking between the two of them, and Josh hoped this would just be temporary.

  During the car ride home, Josh supported his favorite NFL team, the Chargers, by helping them defeat other teams, such as the Steelers, Broncos, and Raiders, in Madden 11.  The only reason he was playing video games and not making out is because of the awkward silence between him and Morgan.  He hoped that their silence would end soon, because Josh was becoming extremely horny.  When he arrived home, he entered his bed, but it felt empty without Morgan there, cuddling with him.

  The next morning, when Josh woke up, he went to eat breakfast, but Macy was there, flirting with him the whole time.  When he arrived at school, he could see Morgan, but trouble was all over her face.  Josh raced up to her and asked what the matter was.  Macy's face was tearstained as she said "I think that we have to break up."

  "I think that we have to break up." And with that sentence, Morgan ran off, leaving Josh flabbergasted.  Josh was so perplexed that he didn’t notice that both Macy and Rachel hanging on his shoulders all day during class and in the hallway.  What snapped him out of his trance was the rain outside.  'What dreary weather to match a depressing day,' Josh thought.

  Mindlessly, Josh filled out his homework mindlessly, sheet by sheet.  The day left fast and sleep claimed him swiftly, filling him with nightmares.  Nightmares where Morgan was right in front of him, but his running and reaching was of no use.  And neither were words, for it seemed that she either ignored him or could not hear him.  Josh hoped it was the ladder.  When Josh woke, he prepared for school.

  Before school Macy and Rachel were hanging on him again, but this time he did notice them.  He shook them off as he growled.  They were intimidated, but then remembered what they were able to do to him in the past, but he knocked them both away, with a single motion that was both graceful and full of fury.  Josh walked away from them and showed the girls the same response each time they tried to do that the rest of the day.  Josh also tried to find Morgan, but it seemed as though she had skipped school, for she was nowhere to be found.  Josh felt defeated as he headed home.  He read on wattpad.com the final chapters of Love Hurts by strawberrygurl98, one of his favorite stories, writers, and person to chat with.

  At school, Macy and Rachel felt that something needed to be done about their situation.  They cornered Morgan in the hallway after school.  "Josh isn't behaving like he should.  All because you dumped him! You need to be taught a lesson," Macy declared as she pulled out a switchblade. 

  "Let’s get to this, bitch," Rachel said as she cracked her knuckles.

  "She is in critical condition," the doctor said as Josh stood over Morgan's body, covered with cuts and bruises.  Tears fell from Josh's face on to her unconscious body.  All that night he wept.  And all of the next day he wept.  It was a sad time for Josh.

  Some offered comfort, but others offered aggression.  Rico spat on Josh's face in the hallway.  Normally Josh would have fought back, but he just continued walking and wiped the saliva off of his face.  Kyle started to make fun of Josh's tear stained face, but was stopped cold by Josh's murderous glance.  If looks could kill, then they would need a new class clown.

  Elyssa was probably the person who got under Josh's skin the most.  She walked up to him in the hallway and said "You think you are so special don’t you? Do you think that these things are just happening around you?  Well, I hate to break it to you, but it is all your fault.  Rachel wasn't always such a mean person.  You probably know that the most out of anyone, but she changed after you chose Morgan over her.  You don’t seem to understand that everything that she has done since then has been in an effort to get you back.  You even hurt Morgan!  When Rachel had her way with you that one night, and you told Morgan that hurt her emotionally.  And when you pushed Macy and Rachel away, you brought physical pain on to Morgan.  So fuck you, the world needs less assholes like you."  And with that Elyssa walked away.

  On his way home, Josh stopped by the bridge above the freeway.  As he leaned against the rail, Elyssa's words haunted him.  He looked down, down to the freeway.  'Long way down,' he thought.

  SPLAT! After that moment a car ran over a body.  A body that had just fallen from the bridge.  A body that belonged to Josh Jacobson.

  "He was just all in all the best son I could ever ask for," said Josh's dad, ending his speech.  Josh's memorial service was well attended, but also very sad with three sobbing teenage girls.  Morgan was still healing, but had decided to come out here to pay her respects.  All hardships between the girls were put aside in honor to Josh, who was loved by all three; they just had different ways of showing it.

  One by one people got up, shared a story or two about their favorite memories of him and then sat back down.  None of the girls talked, because they could not, for their lives, stop sobbing.  It was a short memorial, he was so young, and people filed out slowly, but surely.  At last all there was Morgan.  She pushed aside the top of the casket to see Josh's face one more time.  When she opened it up, something on Josh's body caught her interest.  She dug a small object out of his shoulder.  'A bullet?' she thought.  At that point Morgan began to suspect that someone had murdered Josh.

  Elyssa's smirk of victory against the one who had angered her so turned into a shocked gasp.  If they had the bullet, they could trace it back to her rifle, and back to her.  At that Elyssa started to panic, but calm down after she thought of a mischievous plan.  She pushed the discoverer of the evidence into the casket and replaced the top.  Then she pushed the casket into the proper hole and started burying it; forever silencing the proof that she had killed Josh Jacobson.
