Can't Stop From Falling

Reid's POV

Balling my hands into fists, it takes everything in me to not punch a hole through the damn wall. "Show me the damn rule book that says I have to stay with you after you cheated on me, Angela," I growl.

"It's high school. It's like a known fact that the two most popular people are supposed to be together. You're the captain of the football team, and I'm the captain of the cheerleading squad. We're the golden couple. Every person wants to be us or be with us," she says with her entitled self. I don't get what your problem is anyways," she rolls her eyes at me, "You can sleep with other people too as long as you and I are still a couple at the end of the day. It's not a big deal. I don't care for them, it's just sex."

"Just sex? It's just sex, Angela?" I bellow. "You must have really lost your damn mind. What the hell happened to you? Did your popularity cause your damn ego to get that big? It seems like all you do now is bully people or sleep around. Are you happy with who you've become?"

"What happened to me? What about what happened to you, Reid? We were supposed to be in this together. You kept saying you wanted us to be popular. You wanted people to look up to us. Everything has a price, and this is the price we must pay to stay where we are. We aren't meant to be friends with everyone and you have to give a little of yourself to keep people happy."

"So, what you're saying is that people expect me to sleep around, and bully those who are not the same status as me? Do you really expect me to go along with that? Would you honestly be okay with me sleeping with a bunch of girls while I'm dating you? And are you really okay hurting others just to keep yourself at the top? You might be okay with that, but I'm not."

She shrugs at me," It is what it is, Reid. It's our senior year and after we finish this year, it will just be you and me. Who cares if we have to get our hands a little dirty to be where we are, but after how hard I worked to get on top, I will not allow my status to fall for my final year."

"All you care about is being on top. You don't give a damn about us."

"I do care about us. We're a couple, right? You're the one that I want to be with, and when it's all over and done with, it will be you and me."

"You've been sleeping around with other guys. I am not okay with that."

"Oh, come on," she rolls her eyes, "You can't say that you haven't slept around. I hear all of the gossip floating around in the locker room."

"You're kidding, right? Because that is just what it is, gossip. I haven't slept with anyone. I've been faithful in this relationship and to think that you would even think that I haven't, blows my fucking mind."

"Then why have several girls come up to me to say how good you are in bed?" She hisses.

"So it does bother you, and why would you believe them?" I ask, dumbfounded. She shrugs. "We've not slept together, Angela, why in hell would I sleep with someone else? Are you really that stupid? If you thought I was sleeping around and it bothered you, why wouldn't you ask me?"

"It's not like you would have cared, and why wouldn't I believe them? I figured we were both okay with each other having a little bit of fun before we became serious."

"I was serious about us, Angela. I would never throw that away by sleeping with other people while we are together. How could you think I was just having fun sleeping around with others yet we have never slept together and how are you okay with that?" I ask as my anger continues to boil.

"It did upset me at first, the thought of you sleeping with my friends, but not me. There was even a time that I thought maybe you were into guys, but Stephanie said you were probably wanting it to be special between us since we're a couple, and I'm not a whore like the girls you hook up with."
