~flashback~

3 years ago:


"We need to talk Cameron." i said sternly.

"why, youre just gonna be sensitive about anything i say or do?" he said scoffing afterwards. i didnt know what i couldve done to make him treat me this way but i also feel like its my fault, everything is my fault.

"I was actually hoping it would be a happier topic." i said smiling at the boy who i loved with all my being.

"yea i guess." he said rolling his eyes. 

"so i wanted to talk to you about something and i think it will make you really happy." i said trying to gain his attention once more. 

"ok what is it?" he said, seemingly he cared while he spoke for once in a long time.

"well i wanted to talk to you about, uh, getting married soon." i said as i moved closer to him. 

"what are you talking about, we're twenty years old and your are crazy if you think im marrying some one at twenty." i looked down at my lap as he started raising his voice at me. We were in my mothers home, my home, and she wasnt there so i just had to take him yelling at me. as i sat there with him ranting about how i am too crazy and i need to change before he ever put a ring on it. He also was complaining about how i sprung this on him and was expecting a proposal right then and there, but all i wanted to do was talk about a time frame. I wanted to get married in the next year or so, i mean we had been together for four years and he still wasnt ready. When were kids he said he did want to marry me, but i thought maybe he wanted to wait a little longer before jumping into it so young. 











a few months later





i was going to drive to the Grammys after party with Sabrina, Taylor, and a few other of my friends who were invited, along with Cameron. As we pulled up to the party i felt like something was off with Cameron. He wouldnt talk to me all night, and when he did it was a simple answer or question. I felt bad because he must be tired or didnt feel good and i was ince again overthinking. 

A few hours in to the party, i had lost Cameron, he wasnt anywhere. I had decied to chek to bathroom. When i opened the door i saw him with another woman. I ran out as fast as i could, so fast i didnt look to see who it was. As i was running into people i ran out side finally and dropped on the stairs. I was crying so hard, i didnt understand why or what i could have possibly done to deserve this. The only boy i had ever loved was sleeping with some skank the whole time. As i was crying, i heard footsteps coming from behind me, so i picked myself up and looked behind me to see him standing there, in front of me, barley put together. I looked at him and all i could see was her lips on his. 

"Come back inside val, its cold and we need to talk." he said in a softer tone than i expected. 

"no. leave me alone and go back to your hoe." i said walking down the steps, as he grabbed my hand."ow youre hurting me!"

"fine im sorry!" he yelled back. we just stood there staring at one another.

"how long has this been going on?" i said. it looked as if he was enjoying this, the humiliation he was causing me. "youre a prude and i couldnt deal with it anymore."

"thats not the answer. why didnt you just leave me? this would have been so much easier." i said almost crying.

"its been going on for two years, and you are crazy Valentina, you are too much and i couldnt handle you." he said, i stopped listening and just walked past him inside, i went to find someone, anyone at this point, so i could go home and cry and eat ice cream and watch the notebook. i had spent four years with him and he two of the four he had been cheating on me with god knows how many women.i soon found taylor and sabrina and went home and cried to my mother for a long time. i felt like i was going to die.
