My boyfriend had been barely talking to me for a few weeks now. Every time I try to approach him he turns away and leaves my text messages open.. It was time I do something about it. I wasn't going to just sit here and be left without any answers.

In the halls of the school, we passed each other, I glared at him. How was I gonna let myself be treated like shit by a man? I wasn't.

The next period he texted me.

Charlie🪻: hey baby, sorry. I was busy.

y/n: too busy to answer me?

I sighed and set my phone down. It wasn't worth it arguing with him. He was distancing himself and I knew it. Something was wrong.

A few days later

Charlie was driving me home from practice. He usually did since he was in theater and I was in band. It worked out perfectly. The way there it was silent. I knew what was about to happen.

I felt my stomach drop as my heart sank. This was it. This is over. I looked out the window, my eyes tearing up. His eyes remained on the road, his jaw set.

When we pulled into my driveway, he looked at me and I looked at him.
"I think- I think we need to break up, it's just not working." Charlie would say.

I looked up at him, my lip quivering. "But, but I love you." He looked down at his knees and gripped the steering wheel, bracing himself for what he was about to say. "But I don't love you, y/n."

I opened the car door, I couldn't breathe. I rushed into my house. My mom asked me what was wrong..
"He broke up with me." I struggled to get out between sobs. My mom had a look of concern mixed with pity painted on her face.
