Laine's POV

Right after seeing the boys leave my house, I closed the curtains and dramatically sighed at myself.

I hate everything right now. It's like the whole world revolves around us.

"You should have talked to him then and there, Laine."

Cass looked at Tique in disappointment. "What? That easy? What Laine did was right. At least let the guy suffer for a bit. He can't just do what he wants then ten seconds later, he'll be forgiven."

"We both know that she wants to make up and kiss him already. She's just torn between loving him and hating him."

"Can you both just stop arguing? It's already done, okay? I already shut him off again."

Actually, Tique's right. I don't know what to do anymore. Everytime I see him, I have this weird feeling to want to rape him and at the same time I get the guts to murder him. You know what I mean?

"What do you plan to do, then?" Tique said. She sat on the couch and turned the TV on. She stopped on a random channel, where 50 First Dates is on.

"I don't know. I don't care." I sat beside Tique.

"What? You don't care?" Tique looked at me unbelievingly, "I saw how you fell for the guy. The secret dates? The cuddling at night? The kisses? The cheesy lines? You can't lie to me, Laine. You can't just say you don't care."

That kind of shut me up. Yeah, she's got a point. A huge point.

I don't know anymore! If you were in my shoes, I bet you'd feel the same way. I know I'm hollow as crap. But it still hurts, you know? I already forgot about that thing after the graduation ceremonies, that was pure child's play. But the fact that I had to know everything from that Britt girl like he doesn't even care about Jill's words threatening my emotional life just hurts me. And he had to make it even worse by doing that with that female dog. Has he already realized that it ruined everything?

"Whatever. All I know is that he hurt her. And it already took an unexpected turn. Who would've thought that Will can do something like that? He has always been the good guy for all we know." Cass sat beside me and started rubbing my back. "If he wants to, he'll make a way, Laine."

"It just... It hurts more than it sounds, you know?" I looked down and fiddled with my fingers. "My life was beyond normal before. Then he enters and makes everything special. I get attached, get fond of it, get used to it. It was me who was there the whole time. And suddenly Britt pops up and ruins everything. I'm afraid. Afraid that all of these attachments might turn into waste. I'm afraid that this might be the end. I want to reset but I don't know how to. I'm terrified."

I sat there in silence until I realized everything that I've said. "Oh my gosh. That sounds so childish. I'm moping here because of a boy. This shouldn't be it. If we're meant to break up, then so be it."

"Uhm Laine..." I turned my head to Tique. She softly smiled at me. "Most of the pain you're dealing with are really just thoughts... Ever think of that?"

I gave a small smile back and I hugged her. "You always know the right thing to say. Fine, I'll drop the bitch mode and talk to him. After I boil his lips."

She giggled at me and we pulled away. "How's that, Cassidy? You owe me 40 bucks."

Cass groaned, "You know what, Tique? You suck."

I just laughed at them when my phone rang. "Who is it?" Tique asked, turning the TV of to avoid the noise. I just shrugged, it was an unknown number. I picked it up.

"Hello?"

Will's POV

I pulled my hair in frustration as I continued to drink straight from the glass.

Don't worry, it's not an alcoholic drink anymore. It's just water.

I'm sitting on the counter, because apparently, Dana's in the living room watching TV, so I don't want to show my face to him yet. I don't wanna die without fixing stuff with Laine, you know?

Cole's talking to Dana, and Gabe's probably in his room. I think he's mad at me, like how everyone is.

Dalton's in the kitchen with me, sitting on one of the stools. I guess he is also mad, but he knows I needed a friend right now.

Or at least someone to stare into space with.

"What are you planning to do, bro? Everything's fucked up."

I shook my head, "I don't know. She wouldn't even talk to me."

"Keep trying. You know how girls are. And let's admit it. You had a mistake."

"A huge one." I sighed. "You know what? It was one of a kind and--"

"You ruined it?" Dalton smirked at me. "Well I think yes, you ruined it."

"You're not helping."

A few moments later, he spoke up with a serious tone. "What exactly happened that night, Will?"

"I actually don't remember the whole thing. I was out of my mind. My vision was blurry." I looked at him, and he shook his head sideways, "That's what you get for literally wasting yourself. You drank like four bottles of whatever that is."

"I didn't even know the girl was Britt. Like, why was she there? She's not even in the industry."

Dalton grabbed an apple from the fruit basket and threw it to me. Good thing i catched it on time. "Are you stupid? She's a Hilton and a party girl! What would you expect? Of course she'll be there!"

I just groaned and took a bite from the apple. At least food makes me feel better. Somehow.

"Geez, you know what? Just try calling your girlfriend for the last time today. If she won't pick up, give her some space. Or whatever's going in your mind."

Having no hope, I pulled my phone from my pocket with my other free hand and dialled Laine's number.

Yes, I memorized it. Sorry.

As I heard the ringing, I took another bite from my apple. I knew she wouldn't pick up, anyway.

"Hello?"
