Once I get back home topper was already there waiting for me.

"Hey. Hey how's John B? Is he... is he doin' all right?" Topper asks as I try to walk past him.

"Like you give a damn" I scoff.

"You realize I did not push him. He lost his balance and fell" Topper says

"Are you really defending yourself?" I ask

"He fell against the rail. Not my fault" Topper says

"Wow. I can't believe you" I say, walking off again.

"You forget about us like... Midsummers was supposed to be our... our party. That was supposed to be something special right?" Topper says

"Are you kidding me? Topper, we weren't ever together! We weren't and were never going to be a thing!" I said

"No no we were Stella! We were! Because I love you!" Topper yells.

"No, topper, no you don't!" I yell

"I love you!" Topper tried again.

"No! You love the idea of me. You love being seen with me..." I start

"Stop" Topper cuts in.

"...but you don't love me." I finish

"You have no idea what I'm feeling. You have no clue. What about... what about this summer? Right? This summer was supposed to be legendary." He says

"Yeah it will be, just you won't be apart of it" I said

"You definitely won't after last night" I add

"Oh after last night?" Topper asks

"Yeah" I nod

"You... you wanna talk about last night?" Topper asks

"Sure" I say, facing him.

"Did you forget the part where you cheated on me? Huh? Did you forget about that?" Topper asks, getting in my face.

"Oh my God! We weren't together, topper! Get that through your thick skull!" I yell

"You're a slut! You know that? You're a slut!" He yells

"Hey. Watch your mouth when you talk about my daughter!" my dad yells, walking into the room.

"Your daughter's banging a Pogue-" topper starts to say, but my dad grabs him by the throat.

"Dad" I gasp

"You need to go home Topper" dad says

"Dad, stop!" I said

My dad leads him to the door and lets go. Topper quickly runs off in shock.

My dad turns to me.

"I'm sorry" he says, giving me a hug as tears flood my eyes.
