A Toxic Relationship

Natalie's pov

Where the hell are they? They've been gone for like 30 minutes. But just as I'm about to pull out my phone to text Kylie, I see Cain walking toward the house.

By the time he gets here and sees me standing outside, he rolls his eyes at me. "Where the hell is Kylie?" I ask him.

"She's on her way, don't you worry," he says. "When she's with someone like you, then you should be really worried" I snap.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" he throws a dirty look.

"You may have fooled my best friend, but I knew you haven't changed a bit. You're still the big douche you always were, if not, even more, this time"

"So now it's my fault that kylie went behind my back with her ex?" He still thinks that?

"I can't believe your still claiming that" I sigh.

"It's the truth" he says. "I'm glad you broke up with her
because you don't even deserve her. You never did and you never will!" I say.

"Whatever, Natalie" he walks away making sure to bump into my shoulder.

"Asshole"

Kylie's pov

I'm still walking back to the house. My eyes are still red and my mascara is running from crying too much. But then when I get there I see Natalie by the back door and she looks scared and worried. "Kylie, are you okay? What happened? And why are you all wet and muddy?" She asks in fear. Do I really look that bad?

"Kylie?"

I just start to sob again. She walks over to me and wraps me in her arms. "Please tell me what happened?" She asks once more. I don't really want to talk about it.

"Did he hurt you?" She asks. But her asking that makes me cry even harder because that's exactly what happened. "Can we go somewhere else to talk?" I ask. I don't need other people around me right now. It would make me feel uncomfortable to talk to her about it here.

"Of course we can. Come on let's go to my place" she agrees. "Thank you" I say wiping my eyes with my black shirt. At least it won't be as noticeable... right?

We walk out of the party and we drove back to her place. I stayed with Natalie because I couldn't go home while looking completely destroyed otherwise my parents would have wanted to know what happened and I didn't want them to know.

When it came to Cain, because my parents they never liked him that much. Especially my dad, he couldn't
stand Cain for some reason. So I couldn't let them know what was happening between us.

Cain's pov

I'm outside on my phone then I spot Edwin coming towards me."So, what happened?" he asks. "Nothing, it's over" I tell him still scrolling on my phone.

"What! Why?" He asks. "I thought you wanted to talk to her because you wanted to get back together with her" he says.

I close my eyes "Nope, we're done. I'm done with her for good" I tell him.

"You don't really mean that" he claims. Do I seriously have to fucking repeat myself to him? I said I was
d-o-n-e done. "I mean it, Edwin! "I don't want anything to do with her anymore!"

"Okay, relax, bro!" He tries to calm me. "But do you really believe that she did something with Ryan? She loves you, man. I don't think she would do anything
to jeopardize your relationship"

"Then she shouldn't have gone with him!" I remind him. "The moment she left with him, she fucked up everything!" I shout.

He stays quiet.

"She means absolutely nothing to me anymore" I say and pull out my blunt and lighter.

Kylie's pov

A week has passed since everything that happened between me and Cain. For a week I just felt nothing but pain and heartache.

How could someone go from all sweet to so cold for something I didn't even do. Even after everything he has done and said to me in the past, I couldn't stop thinking about him, and I still loved him just as much.

Ironic, huh? You still love someone who treated you badly. I guess it's true what some people say. Sometimes love can be so fucked up.

I pretty much blamed myself for everything that happened between us and I thought maybe none of this would have ever happened if I'd just done some things differently.

If I had only known then what know now, I would never have blamed myself for it because it would have happened sooner or later. He would have shown his true colors at some point.

He would have shown how toxic he really was.
