Bad Boy's Baby Girl

Cheaters

*Monroe's POV*

We're about halfway through the semester and Maddy and I have strategically planned out her party at my house for next Friday which is exactly 1 week from today; the day of the candidate speeches. Our campaigning is going well and all signs point to one of us winning (preferably Maddy). All of the seniors are gathering in the gym to see our petitions.

The girls start and Mackenzie goes first. Her presentation starts on the screen and she starts discussing her cheerleading history and 'how much she's done for this school' and then she says, "Besides, the other two options are a girl who's being cheated on and a girl who's sleeping with her best friends boyfriend." She clicks the slide and I look at the screen to find three pictures. The first one is Matt and I walking into a room together, the middle of me on top of him in a bed and the third of us walking out of a room together. My heart drops into my stomach.

"What the fuck is this?!" I yell.

"If anyone wants a closer look, you can find it on my instagram mackenziejonesxo." I look over to Maddy and see tears pouring from her eyes and I say, "Maddy it's not real, you can't really think I did that." She runs away crying and I look to the crowd to find Cade fuming as he runs out of the gym. Oh fuck. "Cade, it's not real! Cade stop!" I yell but he's already halfway out the door. Fuck! I look to the rest of our friends and find Charlie running after Maddy and I know I have to call Matt. I start running to my bike as I call.

"Pick up, pick up," I whisper to myself. When he answers, I say "Matt! Cade thinks we slept together and he's headed your way!"

"Woah, Monroe slow down. What the fuck happened?"

"Mackenzie, she got pictures of us. Photoshop or something. Check her instagram mackenziejonesxo."

A few seconds later I hear him say, "oh fuck," through the phone.

"Exactly. Look I'm getting on my bike now to try and beat him there but if I don't."

"I'll be fine Monroe."

"Okay," I say and hang up, getting on my bike and driving it much faster than is safe. I get there in record time and see Cade getting out of his car just as I pull up.

"Cade! Please stop! It's not real! I didn't sleep with Matt! Please!" I yell frantically. I'm no longer able to stop the tears that flow down my face.

"Really Monroe? Those pictures look pretty fucking real to me!"

"I swear they're not! She must have photoshopped them or something. Cade why don't you believe me? We agreed to trust each other!"

He lets out a dark chuckle and says, "Are you really throwing trust in my face right now?"

"Yes! And do you want to know why? Because I love you so fucking much that the fact you believe I cheated on you from something Mackenzie, of all fucking people, told you is shredding my heart into pieces!" I drop to my knees and I can't even be bothered by the tiny rocks that cut into my knees as I sob into my hands.

"What did you just say?" He says, and I hear him walking towards me.

"Why? Do you want to just keep shoving the knife in further?!" I yell at him.

"No, Monroe, please look at me," he says softly as he kneels down on the ground in front of me.

"I can't," I whisper. It feels like my soul is being ripped out of me and I can't seem to get my brain or any of limbs to function properly.

"Yes you can, baby girl. Please look at me."

I look up at him, tears still streaming down my face.
