you regretted the way you left things... the way you left her. feeling guilty, but that soon turned to anger as you remembered how she'd previously made you feel. it was beyond unfair.
you were never one to be self conscious, whether that had been in yourself, more specifically within your relationship.
it wasn't until rachel came along that had changed, chloe ended up making excuses for missing previous planned dates to hang out with her. it was never said out right, but you knew it was because of her.
even thinking about it now you could count on both hands the amount of problems she'd caused between you two. you tried to keep convincing yourself that their friendship was strictly platonic. but there was a line when it was getting to the point of where you had felt like the third wheel in your own relationship.
the way chloe had acted with her going missing kind of just made you fully make sense of it all.
so as terrible as it made you feel, you distanced yourself from her.
the days go by and so do the multiple messages that she sends you. not having the patience to write her back, truly worried you won't be able to hold back on saying something that you'll know you'd regret later.
the school bell rang out for the last time, a sigh of relief escaped you as you made your way to the parking lot, your body fatigued with the stress of school and chloe.
the no contact soon broke when she cornered you, your headphones slipping out of your ears as you were pushed up against a brick wall, groaning, wincing at the feeling.
opening your eyes to be met with hers, "hey babe, did you miss me?" she nervously chuckled, you scoffed, pushing her away from you.
"i'm not doing this with you right now." you whispered before walking past her to your car, she followed close behind.
the silence was loud as you turned to her, she was anxiously biting her lip.
"i can't believe i was stupid enough to think i knew you." your voice is quiet, but she heard you.
"what are you talking about?" she asks, her eyebrows furrowed as she crossed her arms.
"don't play stupid with me, chloe! you know exactly what i'm talking about."
"let me jog your memory. your little friend rachel? i know something's going between the two of you. god i should've known it from the beginning." the look of guilt rushes over her, she starts biting her cheek.
that was all the confirmation you needed.
"wow, you're not even going to deny it? fuck you." you go to turn to get into your car but abruptly turn back to face her again with tears in your eyes.
"the worst part was that i saw it coming, i knew you'd hurt me, hurt us, but i still kept you around because believe it or not i loved you."
even knowing deep down something was off was awful, but having your suspicions confirmed felt like someone had just ripped your heart out of your chest, leaving you completely helpless.
you sniffled as you opened your car door, before slipping into the driver's seat.
"we're done, chloe."
"you can't do this to us! i won't let you, please!"
