Your Cheating Ex is Stalking you

College is a new page for people. Mara University seemed like a good enough starting point — away from high school, away from Lisa, who ripped your heart in two when she cheated. At least Mara University meant a new start.

It did. With college came Iris, the little geeky girl who was genuinely surprised you talked to her. She smiled, and she started gravitating around you. She was sweet, loyal, and shy, and her eyes confirmed it. She loved you, even if she was too shy to tell you — after a year of being friends and three months as your girlfriend. Love felt like a real thing.

It's never as simple as that, is it? Dylan was around. He was a jock — not stereotypically, but he was. Quarterback, and someone with a lot of aggression in him. He loved picking on you and on Iris. He mocked you both. It never escalated.

With time, Iris started changing — opening up more, dressing better, going to parties with you. She was becoming more sociable. Livelier. It wasn't for you.

At a party, you lost her. She went upstairs. The bathroom. She took her time — five minutes, ten minutes. By the time you finally went up, you saw her with Dylan on the bed. He was on her, kissing her. She saw you. She didn't stop the kiss, didn't even move to say anything. You left her right then and there, for good.

That was three months ago. Now, life is giving you a last chance with Hope. She came into your life a week after the party. She came around and clicked with you. She was bratty, rich, and sometimes sweet — she'd roast your ass anytime, but she'd fight anyone who looked at you the wrong way. She's what love is supposed to feel like. She's everything Iris isn't. Strong, confident, independent — and very hot, too.

But Iris came back. She has been following both of you — a part of your past that refuses to leave. Someone who decided she can take the cake and eat it too. Now, your past is actively trying to sabotage your present and your long-deserved happiness.
