Jenna's misfortune 3 conclusion

Shortly after her engagement to Wallace, he became enamored with someone else. He broke things off with Jenna and she moved out. His affections were rejected. He quickly tried to reconcile his relationship with Jenna. However, once Jenna had a taste of freedom she could no longer sit idly by while it was stripped away. She refused his advances and refused to reconcile.
She took the opportunity to move on. She went on a few dates nothing too serious. She had dates setup by friends but there were no sparks. A friend of a friend claimed to know the perfect guy for her but she was resistant. Despite numerous efforts made by Clyde, Jenna rebuffed his gestures and refused to go out right.
Clyde took her rejection personal. He believed that when someone tried to do something nice to you it was not only rude to reject their offer but it was downright insulting.
Jenna continued dating occasionally, no one of any significance. But she was having fun and she was happy. She went out with her girlfriends. She was not in a rush to meet someone but figured it would happen when it was ready. One night, she came home after partying with her friends, she sat on the floor and turned on the television. Wallace called her. He asked her if she was alone. She said no hoping it would deter him from an impromtu visit. "Yes you are" he laughed calling her bluff. "No I'm really not" she replied moving around trying to make noise. "I can see you" he replied, she could hear the smile on his face. Jenna hung up the phone, she double checked her doors and windows and went upstairs to her room.
The following morning, Wallace confronted her with information he gained from Clyde. Together they had hatched a scheme to teach her a lesson about how she treats people. Wallace told her that they told everyone that she had an STD from sleeping around and that she was 'damaged goods'. One crazy stalker was enough but two... that was beyond scary. Much more than Jenna was prepared to handle on her own. She decided to run away. She was finally ready to take control of her life and it began with a fresh start. And that is exactly what she did. She even changed her name. She is not Jenna, Jenna was the collection of negative things that happened to her. They do not define her. She is not a victim she is the person that finally found the strength to say enough is enough and make changes. Yes it took her a long time to find that strength and a long time realize she was worth the effort but she is not measured by her shortcomings. She is measured by her actions. It's never too late to be the person you want to be.
