27 // i'll be fine...

Christina's POV||
When I got home last night, the only thing I did was cry. I couldn't seem to figure out what I did for Blake to talk to me like that.

I eventually cried myself to sleep and like the jackass that I am, I left my contacts in. I woke up this morning and my eyes were a mess, so I took the contacts out and put my glasses on.

I called Nevaeh because there is no way I can take pictures today. I had her cancel everything and she drove me to the eye doctor.

When we got back to my house, I went up to my closet with Nevaeh following me.

"Do you want these?" I asked, holding up a pair of leopard print Louboutins.

"I thought Blake bought those for you?" she asked, confusion evident in her voice.

"He did."

"Then why are you giving them away?" she asked, still confused.

I let out a subtle annoyed sigh, "if you don't want them, I'll just burn them."

"No!" she said, taking the shoes, "they're too cute for that."

I continued to look through my closet for things Blake may have bought until Nevaeh stopped me.

"Chris, what's going on? What happened between you and Blake?" she asked, pulling me to the bed.

I've been trying not to cry all day, but that question sent me over the edge; I couldn't hold it in anymore.

"He broke up with me."

"What?!?! When?!"

"Last night," I sniffled.

"Wh-why?"

"I don't know. He asked me to come over to his house after my meeting, and I did. He asked me where I was and I told him, but then he called me a liar and a...a slut. He said he hated me and he never wanted to see me again."

Nevaeh looked like she was about to start crying too, "he didn't say anything else?"

"No."

She hugged me and rubbed my back, "I'm so sorry, Chris."

"It's okay. I guess it just wasn't meant to be..."

I was sitting in the living room in silence when I realized I didn't wanna be alone. I was gonna call Arielle, but I know she's at Trenton's little league game. I decided to call Landon, hoping & praying he wasn't with Marcus right now.

Landon: hey Chris!

'Are you busy?'

I sounded pathetic from crying and I know he noticed.

Landon: no. Chris, what's wrong?

'Can you come over? I don't wanna be alone right now.'

Landon: of course. I'll be there as soon as possible.

'Thank you.'

I hung up and patiently waited for Landon, who showed up within fifteen minutes, even though he lives thirty minutes away.

"How'd you get here so fast?" I asked as he sat next to me on the couch, "and with ice cream."

"I sped through town and ran through two red lights," he said, sounding proud, "my baby sounded like she needed me."

I smiled for the first time in twenty four hours and gave him a hug. Sometimes I don't know what I'd do without him.

"Now what happened?" he asked.

I explained to him everything that happened, and I think it's safe to say he was pissed.

"Hell no! I'm gonna kill him," Landon said, getting off the couch.

"Landon, he's like, twice your size."

"I don't care how big he is. His size can't protect him from the knife I'm gonna cut him with."

I love him.

"No!" I said, chuckling lightly, "don't worry about it."

He sat back down and his leg shook anxiously.

"I'll be fine, Landon," I lied. I laid my head on his chest and he wrapped his arm around me.

I'll be fine...

Nevaeh's POV||
So Blake invited us all over tonight, but I'm only going so I can find out what the hell his problem is.

I was the last one to show up so when I did, everyone greeted me.

"Where's Christina?" Ashley asked.

"I don't know, nor do I care," Blake said, sitting on the couch.

I narrowed my eyes at him while everyone else fell silent and looked at each other.

"Y'all broke up?" DJ asked hesitantly.

"Yep."

"Why?!" Ashley shouted.

"Because she's just like Lauren," Blake said casually, looking at the tv.

My skin began to crawl and my blood began to boil when he compared Christina to Lauren because he's basically implying that she's a hoe.

"She cheated on you?!?!" Olivia asked.

"Yeah."

I scoffed at his reply, earning a look from everyone in the room because that's bullshit. He knows damn well Christina would never cheat on him.

"Wait...did you catch her?" DJ asked.

"No."

"Then how do you know?" Matt asked.

"I have all the pictures to prove it."

"Damn," Ashley said, shaking her head, "I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it," he shrugged, "I'm just glad she's out of my life."

I just sat back and listened to this ridiculous conversation in disbelief. He talked about Chris as if she were nothing.

"But you've known Christina for a long time. Do you really think she'd do that to you?" Matt asked.

"I didn't think she would, but I guess I thought wrong."

"Blake, you gotta pick better women," Olivia chuckled, "you always end up with someone that turns into a slut."

And now, I'm livid.

"Who the fuck are you to be calling Christina a slut?!" I shouted.

"Ne--"

"No, fuck y'all. I'm leaving," I said, standing up to go.

"Where are you going?" Blake asked.

"I'm damn sure not gonna sit here and listen to y'all talk shit about Christina any longer."

"Nevaeh--"

"Shut the hell up! I wasn't talking to you," I snapped at Olivia, "my god, y'all are all so full of shit! You actually believe Christina would cheat on Blake?!"

"Nev--"

"I don't wanna hear it."

I walked out of Blake's house, slamming the door behind me. I got in my car and sped home.

God, I hate them!
