AND ALL I DID WAS BLEED AS I TRIED TO BE THE BRAVEST SOLDIER
YOU'RE LOSING ME, TAYLOR SWIFT

i laid in my bed, waiting for my phone to go off with a notification from my boyfriend. he's been acting weird lately and i feel like we're drifting apart. i saw my phone light up so i shot up and grabbed it immediately. it wasn't him, it was my friend.

i took a deep breath and laid back down, staring at the ceiling. my phone lit up again, i grabbed it but not as urgent this time. i looked at it and saw his contact name there. i widened my eyes and quickly pressed on it. i wish i didn't.

the next day

i knocked on the door, and saw through the window someone was going to open it.

i tapped my foot on the ground nervously. the door opened and i saw rutger smiling down at me. "hey mia, what are you doing here?" he asked letting me in. i stepped inside, familiar with my surroundings.

"ethan wanted me to come over." i said, not saying anything else with the situation.

"he's not home right now, but you can wait for him, he should be home in about five minutes." he said, patting my back.

"real quick rut, did he come home at all last night?" i asked him. he opened his mouth then closed it, having his thinking face appear. "no, i don't think so. if anything he would have came home late at night but i didn't see him today or yesterday." he answered.

"oh, okay. thanks rut." i smiled, he smiled back, going to the couch. i was about to walk over to the couch until i hear the door open from behind me. i turn around and see it's ethan.

i swear i almost fall in love again when he came through the door. i really hope this doesn't end in a bad way.

"hey ethan," i said in a low tone. "hey," he says grabbing my wrist and bringing me up into his room. "don't have too much fun up there!" rutger yells from downstairs.

"what did you want to talk about?" i ask him as he closes the door to his room.

"i don't think this is working out." he says. whatever expression that was on my face, dropped.

"what do you mean?" i asked, knowing exactly what he meant. my chest rose up and down unsteadily. ethan noticed that, he knew i was about to cry. tears welled up into my eyes.

"we need to break up, mia. i'm really sorry, i can't handle a relationship right now." he explains. a tear fell from my eye. i shook my head, his expression fell from sad to confused.

"why couldn't you have done this earlier? you made me go through a month of you ignoring me, acting like we aren't dating, and just making this whole month a living hell for me?" i yelled at him, stepping closer to him.

i sniffled, taking a deep breath out. i went from angry to sad again.

"i'm sorry i couldn't do it sooner." he says putting his hand on my shoulder, making me tense up.

i bit my lip, nodding. i stepped back so his hand fell off my shoulder, i walked away from him and left his room. tears were falling down, blurring my vision as i walked down the hallway, i didn't even know i bumped into two people.

i wiped my eyes and saw that mark and owen were standing over me, confused. "why are you crying?" mark asked. i look at him, and turn around and point to ethan's room.

"did you guys break up?" owen asked. i looked back at him and started crying even more. "whoops," owen said, pulling me into a hug, mark eventually joining.

"i wanna join!" i heard from behind owen and mark. we all turn around and saw rutger. "oh god," i mumbled. he came running towards us, almost knocking me over when he joined the group hug.

"this is nice," rutger said, i could tell he was smiling. "i think you knocked one of my teeth out." owen joked, making us all laugh.
