Loss of trust

During my second year of high school I had a best friend and we were also dating. We first met at a family gathering, she was a freshman and I was a sophomore. We both had strong feelings for each other and made it official. We got together on Nov 8, 2014. 

Over a year we grow closer and closer. Spending each day with each other. We were the “It” couple everyone would talk about us and say things like “omg look at them that’s relationship goals”. We became even closer, one night we were sitting in my back yard and we both look at each other and made a promise. We promised to stay faithful to one another and also trust each other and most importantly never to cheat on one another.

During the summer my family was planning to go on vacation. So I asked my mother if my girlfriend could come and she said yes.  It was official I was going to have the best summer of my entire life (So at least I thought). On our first week we landed in London. Such a beautiful city in UK, we went to many places and it was absolutely beautiful. It was getting late so we went to a hotel. Two weeks passed and were having such a great time. Only when I thought things could NEVER get worse, one night at the hotel, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t find my girlfriend so I search the hotel up and down. Only to come to see her flirting with another guy in the pool. Yeah I know NEVER say NEVER, but I really thought we had something special. All that trust we build for that whole year was crumbled just within a blink of an eye.

Moral of this story is don’t give out trust so easily. Trust is earned not given. That’s one of the few characteristics I believe bring the best out of people. Many people told me I over reacted and should give her another chance, but one thing they lack to understand is trust is like a paper once its crumbled it will never be the same. Don’t be ignorant and let love block your standards like me, let this be an eye opener for y’all. Do better than me and make sure when you find that person she/he is the right one.
