There I was sitting in my bedroom having a mental breakdown as I tried to figure out the right words to say. Of course Courtney and Victoria were right by my side with a big tub of vegan ice cream.

I felt so bad when Y/N asked me why I wasn't there supporting them when their mother died. I had no excuse why I wasn't there for my best friend, I heard about it and just kinda shrugged it off.

"I'm such a shity person." I sniffled, gently wiping my eyes. My two best friends gave each other a look, and I know exactly what they were telepathically talking about, they didn't know how to approach the situation at all.

"That's it." Courtney groaned, grabbing my phone and typing a message, it was clear she was tired of this all. She was normally a 'say what you need to say' girl, so it was quite simpler for her to be honest.

I furrow my eyebrows together once she hands me back my phone. She sent them a simple message which read 'meet me at the park in fifteen.'

My eyes visibly widened once I realised what she meant. I started vigorously shaking my head, knowing I wouldn't be able to face them.

"Bold. That's exactly what you need," Vic stated looking over my shoulder at the message Courtney sent Y/N. "You're going to meet them at the park dressed as you are now, in sweats and no make up." She continued, placing a hand on my shoulder.

"We'll drive you there and stay in the car, just in case we need to beat a bitch." Court added and pulled me off the ground.

I didn't even have time to respond because we were doing exactly as planned and I was waiting on a swing, waiting for them to show up.

It was late so there wasn't any kids there, it was just me and the moon glancing at each other every so often. It was quite refreshing to be honest, I got to have time to think about everything that lead me up to this moment, but as I turn around I see a familiar space.

eleven years ago.

"Haha! Loser!" I giggled joyfully as I crossed the 'finish line',even if it was just a bit of chalk.

"You only won because i didn't wanna see you cry when i beat you," Y/N scowled, rolling their eyes, they were not gonna admit they lost to me, it just wasn't fair to them but regardless they was a loser.
Y/N's body language changed once they remembered something "Frankie said he thinks we'd be each other's first kiss!" Y/N exclaimed with disgust covering their face.

I felt a weird feeling in my heart when they reacted like that, kind of like when you swallow a piece of gum, it was not a nice feeling at all.

"Gross as if i'd ever kiss you." I shrieked playfully, playing along with Y/N's behaviour.

I mean i wouldn't mind if i kissed Y/N they weren't ugly or anything but it would still be gross, i mean how do you even kiss somebody? I took a mental note to ask alexa how to kiss someone since she already kissed a boy.

Me and Y/N play with everything at the park until we got onto the swings where we would talk about the first things that would pop into mind.

"I wanna go on broadway one day..." I announced randomly. I've always thought about it and i just feel like i belong on stage, whether it's singing or acting and well with broadway i could do both.

"Broadway? What's that?" Y/N questioned, crooking their neck slightly to the left, frowning. It was funny when they made that face, for some reason it would always make me smile.

"It's like a musical but you travel around the world and there's a lot of people watching you?" I summed up in the simplest way i could before glancing over at my best friend next to me.

"Why would you wanna do that?" They questioned as their face went sour. I frowned at their reaction mainly because i wanted them to be happy and cheer me on but i guess that won't happen.

"Never mind." I huffed as i moved my eyes to my feet, playing with the skin on my index finger.

"I'm sorry i just don't know how we would still be friends if you traveled around the world." Y/N admitted, their voice getting softer, causing my head to snap up to them.

"No matter where i am we will always be best friends Y/N/N." I told them placing my hands on the side of their face, forcing us to lock eyes.

"Promise?" They muttered just loud enough for me to hear.

"I promise, forever and always." I whispered to them.

present.

"Hey poet!" A voice I recognised to be Justin said as they walked closer to me.

This cannot be happening. I don't want anyone from school seeing me like this, I literally look so repulsive.

"Yikes you look horrible." His eyes widened once he saw the full sight of me.

"Thanks Justin." I let out a sarcastic scoff.

" It's okay you still look hot though." He smirked letting his hot breath hit my neck. "I'll make you feel better." He said as he slid his hand into my sweat pants.

"No-no Justin, I don't want this." I weakly say trying to get out his grip but he's too strong so tightens himself around me.

"You don't know what you want." He whispered into my ear causing shivers to flow down my spine, and not the good type before he started kissing exposed parts of my body leaving a numb cold feeling.

I wanted to scream, shout, kick, punch but I couldn't. I just froze terrified of what could happen next he was touching me and I couldn't do anything about it, I had so many mixed emotions, I felt alone,disgusted,terrified,broken and disappointed in myself for letting this happen.

I tried to tell him to not do it but he ignored me and carried on, my vision started to blur and a manifesting growing pain in my chest appears,all the blood drained from her extremities, and the feeling of impending and absolutely doom raided her body.

My body felt like that for the next ten minutes.

"Hey!" A husky voice yelled causing Justin to pull out and cover up.

I've never been so happy to see someone in my life, better sooner than later.

"Fuck off man, this has nothing to do with you!" Justin shouted at him, growing sudden anger as he walked closer to him

"Did you want this?" The man asked me from afar but I gave him no response.

"Fuck off!" Justin yells again getting way too close to the man. That's when the guy lost it and punch Justin square in the face causing him to run out of sight.

I look and see a man with scruffy beard and long overgrown hair. He had a bottle of alcohol in his left hand and he started to approach me. I flinched when I noticed he was getting nearer and nearer to me.

"Ariana? I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise." He raised his arms up in surrender, dropping the drink that was previously in his hand.

That's when I realised it was Mike, Y/N's dad. Since when did he start drinking and where the fuck is Y/N.

"Do you need me to help you walk home?" He asked softly as I pull up my sweatpants.

I just shook my head in response to his question. I really do not have the strength to reply to him. All I need to do is get to the car with Vic and Court, It shouldn't be that hard.

So that when I dashed, straight to the car. I wanted to burst out crying but I knew I had to be stronger than that, I'm not letting some horny teenage boy fuck up my life, making me scared of everything.

Once I got to the car I was swarmed with questions but I just simply told them Y/N didn't show up, which was the truth, they didn't.

Fuck Y/N Y/L/N.
