Things escalated. Thatβs what Iβm going to say happened with our stepbrother with benefits relationship. It escalated. Rule #18 β We have to be open with one another. We have to tell each other how we really feel. Iβm not sure you can fully grasp the gravity of the situation Iβm in right now. I think Iβve unleashed a monster inside myself. I also think I kind of love it. I completely trust my ability to be responsible almost always, except when it comes to Ethan. When it comes to Ethan, wellβ¦ I donβt think we really have to think about how irresponsible I can be when it comes to Ethan. I just ditched class for the day, bought a plane ticket randomly to fly out and see him, and nowβ¦ I donβt want to talk about it. Things escalated. Thatβs what Iβm going to say happened. They escalated. It was only for a week, except itβs not anymore. Dating my stepbrother? Sure, letβs just see how that goes. Completely ignoring all my responsibilities, doing the opposite of what I know I should be doing, and seeking vengeance against my ex-boyfriend because he canβt stop being a complete jerk? Iβm the worst good girl ever, arenβt I? I used to be so good at it, too. Ugh. Iβm just kind of hoping for the best now.
