THE TUTOR | Cheer Diva's Series Book #1

CHAPTER 1 - THE BREAKUP

"We need to talk" Says a masculine voice I know as my boyfriend of 3 years.

I turn around and look into his hazel eyes that I love so much. "Of course. Do you wanna leave first or just talk here?"

"Lets just talk here." His cold voice says.

I start to worry that I have done something wrong with the way his voice is so cold and his body so stiff. And no one likes to hear the words "we need to talk."

I follow him into lacy's bathroom as matthew asks the drunk couple making out to leave.

I lean against the sink and stare into his eyes as he closes the door and hits me with a cold stare.

"I dont think this is working and I think we should take a break from each other." He says.

My heart sinks. "What?"

He grabs my hand and leads me over to sit on the edge of the bathtub.

"The spark I felt with you when we first started dating, its just not there anymore."

"What are you talking about? Yesterday we were so good, now your just springing a breakup on me?"

"Hold on." He says. "Please listen to me, I never said I wanted to breakup with you."

"You literally just did."

"No." He groans. "I didnt. I said we should take a break from each other, I just need some time bridgette."

The way he said my full name instead of "babe" or "bridge" makes my heart plummet to the ground.

A tear slips down my face. "Everyone knows a break just leads to a breakup."

He sighs. "No. Not all the time." He stands up and leans against the sink. "Im not saying it isnt possible for it to lead to a breakup but.."

"Exactly." I say coldly. "Every single 'break' that I have ever seen a couple take, they always think its just a little time away in the beginning but they just end up breaking up."

"I just need some space bridge."

Wow now he calls me bridge? "No!" I reply.

"What do you mean no?" He asks.

"I mean exactly that, no. If your going to do this to me then atleast commit to breaking up with me. I dont want to hear the 'I just need some space' act."

"Bridgette. Couples take time apart all the time and they end up fine. I still love you so so much but I just need a little time away from you to figure out what I want."

"Thats gonna destroy us." I say.

"No. I wont let that happen to us. I love you so much and I know that we can make this work."

I sigh. "Just give me time to think about it okay."

"Okay." He says opening the door. "Do you want me to drive you home?"

I truly think that if Im gonna make the best decision for myself then I cant be around him right now. Right now I just need to cry before I get the fuck up and make a mature decision.

"Thats okay I'll get a ride home with isabel." I respond.

I wander to Lacy's kitchen where a bunch of my friends are talking and laughing.

Lacy sees me and says "Hey! Where have you been?"

"Probably making out with my brother." Lexus says as she makes a pretend gagging face.
