how I fucked up.

Tell me when you get home

"Tell me when you get home." Jack texted me.
"Okay :)" I replied.
"Okay."
"What's wrong?" Something was up. If I sent a smiley, he sent a smiley. Plus, he never used periods unless he had more than one sentence.
"Nothing, just tell me when you get home."
"Okay?"
My sister came and got me from babysitting.
I came home and immediately went to my room.
"Okay, I'm home. What's wrong? Oh no, did your step-dad kick you out?*" I texted Jack as soon as I sat on my make - shift bed.**
"You know I love you and would never accuse you or anything, right?" He sent back.
Oh shit, he knows. Shit.shit.shit.shit.shit. Well, he might not.*** Let's see. "What are you talking about?"
"Well, this guy at school was talking shit about how you were fake and stuff but I just ignored him. Then, he showed me a picture of you and some guy and since I had never seen that picture of you before, I was confused. Then he showed me something else." That was the end of his text. I had started crying. I didn't know what else to do. I didn't reply. He texted me anyways. "He showed me a profile on Facebook of a girl named Delilah. Is your real name Delilah? Did you not tell me your real name because you had a boyfriend?****"
Holy fuck, a way out of this. I had to take this chance. "Yes. My real name is Delilah. I don't love that boy in the photo. I love you. I want to break up with him, but I don't know how. I'm so sorry I lied to you."
"I just messaged this Delilah person. She said she has never heard of anyone named Morgan Smith. Call me. Please." Was the last text I read from jack.
I never called him. He kept texting me, but I couldn't read them. I'm pretty sure I passed out or something at that point, because I have no recollection of what happened the rest of that night.

I went to school the next day. Delilah was out for blood. She had no idea whose, but she was still out for it. She had texted everyone she could and I'm are they texted and called everyone she could.

I dunked my phone in sink water to stop the texts and calls. Nothing happened. I ended up taking out my SIM card and just breaking it in half.

When I tried to see if my phone still worked after dunking it in sink water, I turned it on and read one or two of the messages, just to see what it said and one of them was from Jack's sister. She was really disappointed, because she looked up to me. I felt awful.

Another text was from Jack. It said "I know who you are, MaryRose."

I don't know if Delilah ever found out it was me. (She probably did.)

*His step-dad and he didn't get along very well.

**I can't remember why, but my bed was gone for some reason. I think it broke or something, so I was sleeping on the floor.

***I thought he maybe found out I was dating Alex too. (Even scummier of me to cheat on him, right?)

****Delilah actually had a boyfriend and I can't remember why else I put a footnote here, but there was definitely a reason.
