Unexpected

I have always wanted to know what love felt like, but now that i know what heartbreak feels like after love. I never want to fall in love again.

Hearing words "i cheated on you, multiple times" wasn't what i expected to hear on a Friday afternoon.

"You what?" My voice was quiet, everything felt like it was blurring expect the person in front of me. My 'loving loyal' boyfriend.

"I cheated, multiple times. Through out the whole time we have been together. I would say I'm sorry but I'm not"

I slapped him, hard. "What the fuck do you mean the whole time we were together? Did you fake.. did you fake everything?" I pushed back my tears trying to stay strong in-font of him

"You were a bet, my friends betted i couldn't get you to fall in love with me, especially sleep with me And well here we are" he still had a stupid smirk on his face.

"Are you fucking serious, oh my fucking god. What the hell is wrong with you" i laughed trying to cover the obvious shake in my voice

"You seriously thought i was in love with you Evelyn, i mean look at you. Who could love that" he said while looking me up and down.

I couldn't hear anymore. I pushed him into his car and walked towards mine. Tears started falling down my face as i got in to my car. I pulled out of school and started driving home. Thankfully no one was home. I ran upstairs and slammed my door shut.

My breathing was heavy, my legs gave up and i fell to me knees. How could someone fake what we had, and for a whole fucking year. I gave up everything for him. I even... oh my god i let him take my virginity.

After taking off my shoes and jeans i crawled into bed and cried myself to sleep. I woke up to the sound of the front door shutting. Rolling over i looked at my clock and it read 5:17pm, mom was home.

Two weeks had passed since the break up, it was now summer break and all i was doing was rotting in bed. My heart feels like it was ripped out of my chest and smashed into a million pieces.

I finally decided i needed to get up and try and help myself. Ive tried not to think about the words carter said to me but that hasn't really worked, I've stopped eating as much as i did, and made my meals smaller. I know i shouldn't, but now I'm questioning everything.

I got up at around 10am and made my bed for the first time in a couple weeks. I grabbed some sweatpants and a tank top from my wardrobe. Of course a bar and panties, after i changed i made my way down stairs.

"Good morning sweetie how are you feeling today?" I told my mom what happened between carter and i. She was quite mad at him, but she cares more about how i am. Im pretty sure shes noticed I'm not eating as much but she hasn't mentioned anything, yet.

"Im okay" my voice was quiet, I've become quiet over the past weeks. I never used to be quiet.

"Come sit down, i have something i want to tell you" i got a nervous hearing that but her face just showed happiness. I walked over to the couch and sat down.

"So you know how i went for dinner last night with Eric, well he proposed to me!" Proposed? Did i hear that right. Nevertheless i was happy for her, my dad left when i was about 4 years old, I'm 17 now. I like Eric, he's always been so kind to me, which i appreciate.

"Oh my mom, I'm so happy for you" i smiled a little and hugged her. Eric has a son, my age. We haven't talked to much. When i was with carter he was very overprotective and wouldn't let me talk to him. Of course i can make my own decision but carter would make me feel horrible for talking to him or about him.

"Thank you hunny, he also asked if we wanted to go on a trip with him and axel, what do you think" axel is Eric's son. He's about 6'1, dark brown curly hair. Muscular body, a couple tattoos and piercings. He had a lip and eyebrow piercing. I dont know much about him since we haven't talked really.

"That would be nice, it would be good doing something for the summer instead of being home all the time, you know?"

"Yea it would be nice, i will let him know immediately" her smile warmed my heart, what i have left at least.

Maybe this summer wont be as awful as i thought it was going to be.
