⚠TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF CHEATING (don't worry, the reader isn't cheating, and neither is the crush. It'll make sense in the story)!!!! IF THAT CAN/WILL POTENTIALLY TRIGGER YOU, DON'T READ THIS!!!!⚠

Y/N POV:

"I can't believe this shit! After three-"

Sniff

"Three goddamn years with him, this is how he repays me?! I should've known from the start that he was bad news!"

I grab another tissue and wipe my eyes & nose again before continuing to ranting to C/N about my now-ex boyfriend that I found out cheated on me.

"He's such an idiot!"

I pause for a few moments before finally muttering something else as doubt begins to slowly creep in.

"Did he ever even love me in the first place...?"

C/N grabs a clean tissue and leans closer to me, using the tissue to wipe away a fresh tear.

"Whether that douchebag loved you or not doesn't matter anymore, honestly, Y/N. He cheated on you, and whether or not he loved you doesn't excuse what he did. Nothing does, and nothing ever will." (Facts!!)

I nod a little, slowly realizing that C/N is completely right.

If that bitch was willing to cheat on me, he didn't deserve me anyway.

C/N grabs my blanket from nearby and drapes it over my shoulders, handing me my water bottle. He picks up the remote and turns on the tv, switching it to YouTube. 

"Here, how about this. In order to forget he who shall not be named, let's watch some Jack & Mark together, yeah?"

For the first time since this morning when I got home from the night shift, I finally genuinely smile, nodding and scooting closer to C/N on the couch at his suggestion. 

~*time skip*~

"Who's more likely to take a selfie naked?"

Jack, Felix (Pewdiepie), and Mark all pick Mark, making the three in the video & those of us watching laugh hysterically.

"Oh Jesus!"

"Just... instantaneous."

C/N and I both nod, completely understanding the reason behind all of their choices as we both laugh along with the three on the screen.

"I LOOK THE BEST NAKED! IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE GUYS!"

C/N and I both look at each other and nod with a small 'yeah' without hesitation (so real-), shrugging shortly after and going back to calmly watching the video again. He wordlessly hands me my water bottle, subtly encouraging me to take a drink. I do so without thinking, my eyes staying focused on the tv. He swallows down a gulp of his own drink, lemonade that he got at the gas station before he got to my place an hour ago...

"C/N."

"Oh, hey, Y/N. What's up? You don't usually call me because of your social anxiety."

"I need you to come over as soon as you can."

C/N pauses, seemingly to think before he speaks.

"Sure, that's fine. What's going on?"

"He cheated."

C/N is quiet again, his breathing getting slightly heavier from what I can safely assume is growing anger.

"That shitface did what to you?"

"He cheated on me, C/N... Please come over. I can't do this on my own. I'm so damn tired."
