Chapter 105 Section 8

Almost a year later, Texas Monthly reporter Step Hollandworth wrote in his report: "They plan to hire a limo bus and take all their friends and family from Texas to the Air Force Academy. A famous church. In the church, Devon will wear a crisp military uniform, and his bride will wear a white wedding dress. At the end of the wedding, the couple will join hands and learn from the crossed swords of other military cadets. Go down the front." This is simply a scene that can only appear in novels or movies. However, what happened next was not as beautiful and romantic as they had imagined.After Diana had sex with Devon for the first time, she immediately felt a sense of guilt. She wondered if she had made a wrong decision. She told her mother and several aunts about her distress.At about the same time, Diana had the car accident.

Diana was apprehensive and restless, and she felt a little regretful, feeling that she had given up her precious virginity too casually and easily.Therefore, she repeatedly emphasized to Devon how pure, perfect, and single-minded their love must be without any impurities. Both of them must keep their promises and be faithful to each other forever. She will always be the only one in the other party's life; on the other hand—mostly when she is in a bad mood—she endlessly pursues and investigates Devon's past and present interactions with girls.In particular, Devon and Diana went to different schools and did not live in the same city, which undoubtedly aggravated Diana's worries and suspicions.

One night in early December, Devon took Diana out after taking her home.They parked the car on the street in front of Zamora's house, and the two of them sat in the car. Devon and Diana's descriptions and recollections of events in the following chapters are quoted from their respective confessions to the police later. "I started asking him about his relationship with some girls again," Diana confessed, "because he accidentally mentioned that I was not his first girlfriend." Diana asked Devon to list the names of all the girls he knew.At one point during the conversation, Devon mentioned Artian Jones.But because it appeared with other names, it didn't particularly attract Diana's attention.

When the couple's conversation became less sweet and smooth, Devin suggested that they get out of the car and go inside.Devon wanted to change the subject. "We got into an argument again, and it was a big fight," Diana said, "because he wanted me to study for the SAT college admissions test, and I didn't want to." After a few minutes, when the two seemed to start to quiet down, Devon turned to Diana and said, "I have something to tell you, something very important." "I knew right away what he was going to say, the tone of his voice, the way he looked at me," recalls Diana.

"You're not the only girl in my life," Devon went on, "I've had sex with other people before." Diana was stunned, dumbfounded: "You mean, when you dated me, you weren't a virgin anymore?" "No, it was then." But this answer is even worse, that is to say, Devon had sex with other girls after dating Diana. Devon talked about the Saturday, November 4th, when the school's cross-country team went to Lubbock to participate in the middle school cross-country long-distance running regional competition.Lubbock is in the northwest of Texas, about two hours' drive from Mansfield, and the school sent a school bus to take them.On the way there, Devin and Artian Jones happened to sit on a chair.Yatian was lively and talkative, and the two talked and laughed happily along the way.On the way back, they sat together again, but this time it was not necessarily by chance.

Yatian didn't have a car, so when they arrived at the parking lot of Mansfield Middle School, it was Devon who offered to take Yatian home.Devon later said that he offered to drop off Artian almost "without thinking" because he couldn't imagine talking to a girl and then walking away without saying hello, leaving her alone in the parking lot. field.Devon had always been considered - and he thought himself - a little chivalrous. Yatian got into the car and sat in the passenger seat on Devon's right hand.She told Devon the address of her home, and then pointed Devin where and how to turn.Finally, Artian pointed Devin to a remote place, the parking lot behind an elementary school.Devon's father had been the principal here many years ago.

You can imagine what happened next. But what Devon couldn't imagine was Diana's reaction. "When I finished speaking, I felt like the life of Diana was ripped from her. She was angry, violent, and completely broke down," Devon later told police. By the time life returned to Diana, she had become a wild storm, or, in Devon's words, "a nuclear explosion." "I was screaming like crazy, asking him what it was all about, and berating myself. I remember reaching for that brass thing, that brass rod, and slamming it down at him." That was A brass poker in front of the fireplace. "Devon took it out of my hands. He tried to comfort me and calm me down as I was yelling hysterically and desperately. He wanted to protect himself from harm, and he wanted to protect me from hurting myself. I didn’t listen, I banged my head against the wall and then fell to the ground and hit the floor again. I just wanted to crack my skull because I really didn’t want to live.”

Devon finally realized what a terrible mistake he had made, but it was too late: "For at least an hour, she kept howling and crying. I can't even imagine a human being making such a heart-piercing cry." That's not jealousy. For Diana, she was lied to, betrayed, betrayed, utterly snubbed, forgotten, abandoned during that senseless incident in November The purity and perfection she had so painstakingly maintained was savagely stained and torn apart in that moment." And Diana felt that, in that instant, her whole life and being, her whole world, had been ruthlessly destroyed: "I feel like I've lost everything. My left hand will never get back to normal, my The family was crushed by financial constraints. Now, he came to tell me that my virginity, which I regarded as sacrosanct, was trampled on for nothing. I have lost my mind, I can't think, in fact, I knew I wasn't thinking. I yelled at him at the top of my lungs: 'Kill her, kill her.'"
