It's over.

I decided to write this story after reading other similar stories on this site. A lot of these stories touched my heart dearly and I just want to say that all of you have stories that are very amazing to read and all of you can write very well. -Sav

Anyways, onto the story.

I had met this boy named Tyler when I was 13-14 years old. Me being "young and dumb" as a lot of people say, I fell in love with him. At first, him and I were just friends. Then after about 2 months of being friends, he confessed to me that he developed feelings for me, and that he wanted to be more then "just friends". So, he asked me to be his girlfriend and I accepted his offer.

We dated for about 5-6 months, when he began to become distant. We talked for hours every single day at the beginning of the relationship, but as time went on we talked maybe once a week and it wasn't for very long either. Maybe 10 minutes if I was lucky. Then it went to not talking at all. About a week passed of not talking to Tyler and I got a message from who I thought was Tyler's sister.

From what I can remember, this is what the message said, "Hey, I know that you're Tyler's girlfriend. It's nice to finally meet you after hearing so much about you from Tyler, but this meeting isn't going to be a very pleasant one. I have some bad news to tell you. Tyler died from lung cancer 2 days ago. I'm sorry for your loss, if you have any questions, I'm here to answer them, also I'm here for you."

I didn't respond to it, because I couldn't believe that someone I cared about and loved so much, was gone. I spent about 3 months, in absolute distress. I cut my wrists, I thought about killing myself in every way possible, you name it and I did it. It took me about a year after Tyler's death, to finally accept the fact that he was gone and wouldn't be coming back.

Or at least, that's what I thought.

Of course I moved on and met other people, then 2 years after Tyler supposedly "died" he came back mysteriously. He told me that the person who sent that message to me wasn't his sister and the whole thing was just a big misunderstanding. We went right back to where we left off. I was happy again with the fact that I had my Tyler back, but I was still a little cautious around him, with the fear that he'd leave again.

Then not even a month passed and I get another message from the same person, claiming to be Tyler's sister. She told me that Tyler had been cheating on me for the past 2 years, while he was gone. I didn't believe her until... She sent me pictures of Tyler and this girl kissing, them holding hands, them having sex, etc. I was disgusted with this boy, I took all the pictures, put them into a post and sent it to Tyler, asking him to explain what the hell those were.

He denied all of it, when it was obviously him in the pictures. I told him that the relationship was over and I never wanted to see or hear from him again.

I later came to find out that the girl that messaged me was actually his other "lover", who he had been in the pictures with. She lied to me about Tyler dying (which he had told her to do), so they could have a "thing" behind my back. After he realized that this girl was to much for him, he came crawling back to me. In anger in disgust at Tyler, this girl sent these pictures to me to get back at him for dumping her to come back to me.

I let someone get to me, and they hurt me. I beat myself up over it for the longest time, until I realized that this wasn't my fault. It was his. He made the choices that he did and screwed things up, it wasn't me. Even though it hurt me, it wasn't my fault.

For all of you who beat yourself up over things that other people do, just realize that it's NOT your fault. Other people's mistakes may effect you in a way that hurts, but it isn't your fault. If it does happen to, I'm sorry. I know how it feels, but here is my advice to everyone. Be careful of who you let into your life and don't jump into things so fast or you might end up hurt.
