Scared

Jackie was scary. Tobi had had other girlfriends, but no one made her feel
like Jackie made her feel. Basically, she felt scared out of her tree. There
was a reason that Tobi was thirty-two and single.

Yeah, she thought, because I suck at relationships. Girls came and girls went,
they always went, usually shaking their heads. But, last night especially and
really all of last week, Tobi had been on self-destruct mode, so, why was Jackie
still calling her? Nobody ever put up with her shit, and if they did then they
weren't worth having because they must either be desperate or too weak.

Even she could tell that her head was seriously screwed up. But, loving someone
was such a risk.

Tobi took a deep breath, and before she thought about it again, she hit the dial
button.
