Monday. I've been dreading this day. Dylan's in all of my classes so I'm bound to see him. Today, I left extra early today so this way I wouldn't be walking with him. I started walking and he wasn't there yet so I continued to walk. After maybe 2 minutes I heard, "STEPH! STEPH WAIT UP!" I stopped and turned around.

"What?" I said harshly.

"What's wrong with you and why didn't you wait?"

"Why don't you ask the girl you hooked up with at the party?" I spat back.

"Steph, liste-"

"No Dylan. I trusted you. I really did. And for you to just put me down like that, how can I ever trust you again?!?"

"I was drunk I didn't know what I was doing."

"BULL SHIT! JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE DRUNK DOESN'T MEAN SHIT!" I said but calmed down a bit. "Ya know what Dyl? Just go. Leave. Have fun with that girl. We're over." I said with tears in my eyes and started to walk to school, leaving Dylan there, standing with tears in his eyes. I couldn't help it. Tears just started pouring down my face. Screw school. I walked towards a park, sat down, and balled my eyes out. I basically stayed there the whole day. I felt a drop and it wasn't a tear. Just then it started pouring rain. I ran home. I felt a gaze upon me, that same gaze that started everything. Dylan was watching me run home in the rain. I walked in, slammed the door, and went in the shower. Going in the shower helped me calm my nerves. The warm water touching my skin. It just calms me from everything that happened today. I got out of the shower, dried off, changed into sweatpants and a sweatshirt, and put my hair into a messy bun. It was around 8 o'clock when my mom came home. She came up to my room.

"Stephanie? What happened?"

"I broke up with Dylan."

"Why?"

"He hooked up with some girl at a party." I said as I started to cry again. My mom came over and comforted me but eventually left to go make dinner. My phone started ringing and it was Dylan. I ignored it. But eventually, someone started to knock at the door. Dylan. I heard my mom say that it's not the best time but he ignored her and walked right up the stairs, into my room.

"Steph. Please talk to me. I just I screwed up so badly. I just I can't go on in life if I don't have the girl I love. I know we've never said it to each other but Steph, I'm in love with you. I'll never stop. Please forgive me." He pleaded.

"I just need time... Leave." Was all I said and he turned around and left. I can't trust him anymore. I won't trust him anymore. It killed me so much. I wanted to tell him I loved him back but I just didn't have the strength. Basically... I cried myself to sleep... I just lost one of the most important things in my life. He screwed up big time. Just him saying sorry isn't gonna do anything. I just need some time to think. At first I was terrified of Dylan O'Brien then he started talking to me and I eventually started to trust him. Then I told him my life story. He asked me out and I said yes and we've been happy ever since. How do I know that Dylan hasn't hooked up with a girl before Friday? He cheated on me. I can't just go crawling back into his arms like everything is okay... When it's not. I just can't believe him. I honestly trusted him. How can I ever trust someone like him ever again? I love him but he cheated on me. Is drunk even an excuse? Even if you're drunk... Don't you at least know you have a girlfriend?

None of this makes sense to me. He even straight up told me he was drunk to not tell his girlfriend. Like... I just I don't know what I'm going to do... But I do know that I'm not going to be hanging out with Dylan for awhile. I just don't want him apart of my life right now. I don't even want to be friends because I like him too much to even be his friend. If we were friends I'd just get dragged back in and who knows it might happen again. I have a lot of problems with trust because of my 'parents' and how they basically lied to me... But this isn't the point. How am I going to avoid someone who's in all of my classes, lives a block away, sits behind me in homeroom, and is my lab partner?
