As a bomb destroys a city and wipes out all of its inhabitants, the truth can crush people’s relationships, severely hurt their feelings, and just feel cold and heartless. This entire ordeal commenced one day in late January. In all honesty, I can really see the truth behind the idea of The Butterfly Effect now that I look back upon these events. Had Rayne never began making hand signals at me, this story never would’ve been possible. As I was saying, one cold, wintery day in late January, I was happily sitting at lunch eating sandwich and conversing with my friends. Everything was going quite well at the time. The girl that I’d had a massive crush on had admitted that she liked me back. Her name was Christine. She was this beautiful, quiet,

It had been a long, exhausting day of school and musical rehearsal. As a matter of fact, it was also my brother’s birthday. To celebrate, we went to the local IHOP for dinner. Before entering the establishment, I had been texting Christine about how she felt about me. In the few days leading up to my IHOP dinner day, Christine had mentioned a few times that she, “Isn’t completely sure about how she feels.” That thought had been weighing on my mind for the past week, so I decided to ask her if she had been able to find out exactly how it was that she felt. The response was like a truck hitting me in the chest. I was about 75% of the way through my dinner of popcorn shrimp and Coke when I felt my phone buzz with Christine’s vibration (three short buzzes then a long one). I excused myself for a moment so I could use the restroom and see what she’d said. The time was approximately 7:23 in the evening. As I’d expected, there was a new message from Christine beckoning to me. So I opened it. With a surprising rapidity, my heart plummeted. I could feel the burning of tears in my eyes and there was a throbbing in my head and throat. Her reply to my question was, “I 'm still not really sure, but I think it might be best if I 'm just not in this kind of relationship at the moment, because it isn 't nice to you.” My shock was almost tangible. I knew that it was something I’d expected but I still felt …show more content…
On April 14, I was texting Taylor and the relationship, in a way, ended itself. That was one of the few times I’ve had to hurt a girl then hear her cry. It is honestly one of the most painful things I’ve had to do.
Over the next few days, I attempted to win back Christine through letters, confessions, and sort of whatever came to my mind that I felt I could do. Nothing worked. No matter how many times I tried, nothing I did was able to win her back. It was a cold reality.
The truth is a cold, dark alleyway of pain and despair. Because truth cannot be denied, it must be accepted and the act of accepting something you don’t want to believe is something that is painfully hard to do. No matter how intensely you deny it or try to change it, the truth is irreversible and that is something can bring about an extreme level of pain. And, as a bomb destroys a city and wipes out all of its inhabitants, the truth can crush people’s relationships, severely hurt their feelings, and just feel cold and
