empty.”
    “Dad isn’t home?”
    “No, he had DEA stuff; you know how it is with him.”
    “Yeah, I know.”
    “Have I told you lately that I love you?”
    “Yeah, mom you tell me all the time.”
    “Well, I wanted to tell you again. I love you.”
    “Mom, I love you, too, you’re acting strange is everything okay?”
    “Of course it is sweetie. How’s school?”
    “Great I’m passing my classes and I haven’t been kicked off the debate team.”
    “And Crystal? How’s she?”
    “Fine, I’m taking her out tomorrow night.”
    “What do you have planned?”
    “Well, I haven’t quite worked out all the details, but I want to take her out in the middle of a field and watch a movie with her.”
    “Can you tell me about it? I like it when you talk to me, sweetie.”
    I told my mom about all the plans I’ve made for my date with Crystal and talked to her about school and work until she stopped answering me. I could hear her breath heavy and even on the other end and I knew she had fallen asleep. My mom doesn’t call like this and talk to me like that. I’m slightly worried that she’s not okay and something is wrong, but I don’t know. I roll onto my side and close my eyes.
     
    “I love you,” I say to Crystal.
    “I love you, too” She says but I see doubt in her eyes. I move in to hug her and she steps back.
    “What’s wrong?” I ask.
    “I know about you and Kelly.” She says her eyes cold and angry.
    “What are you talking about?”
    “How does it feel?” She asks.
    “How does what feel?”
    “To know that I’m fucking someone else in front of you the same way you’re fucking someone else in front of me.” She says. I look down at the ground and swallow hard, and then I look at her. I’m shocked to see she and Gabriel tongue tied with one another and she’s kissing him with more passion than she’s ever kissed me.
    “He’s better you know. Better than you in every way possible. You can’t beat his physique, and just look at the way he makes me wiggle and writhe when I’m with him. She says and to demonstrate he pulls her down to the ground, rips her clothes off and fucks her until she screams over and over. I try to look away but the image of both of them is burned into my brain. I try to walk away but at every turn they’re in front of me and I’m forced to watch.
     
    I’m awake. I look around and I’m in my bed. Crystal isn’t here neither is Gabriel. I shake my head trying to clear it of that hellish dream. I can’t help but worry that it has some truth to it. Maybe Gabriel is better than me and maybe he is the better man. I can’t let him win. I can’t let him have her. I’ll just have to keep showing her that I am the right choice for her. I’ll have to keep fucking her until I can make her scream even louder. And it’s going to start tonight with the date I have planned for her. I have it all worked out. I’m taking her to a meadow, and spreading a blanket on the grass. I have a projector and a screen and we’re going to watch Gone with the Wind. She loves these kinds of movies and I want to make it a night she won’t forget.

    I woke up this morning thinking about her. I can’t get her face and her smile out of my mind. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before.
    I sat down at my computer trying to compose a new blog entry and I found that the only words I could type were her name and how I could describe her. I stared at the words floating on the screen; words I would use to describe her. They still didn’t seem good enough and they didn’t convey how I really felt about her: Crystal, beautiful, fun, inspiring, sexy, hot, and the list went on. For the first time in my life I wanted to write a poem about her. I wanted her to know just how I felt about her and make her understand what’s she’s doing to me.
    I’ve never really read poems only the ones I was forced to read in high school, and I didn’t pay
