After I took all the inventory around shop and counted up how much money was made today, I made sure the doors were locked shut one more time before I left. I stuffed the stores keys into my purse, took out my car keys and made my way to the employee parking lot. When I got in my car, I rested my bags on the passenger side and turned on the heat. I took my phone out for a second and just scrolled through twitter checking my feed and seeing what other people were up too. Just as I was about to put the phone down it began buzzing. I answered it without paying attention to the caller I.D. As soon as I heard the voice on the other line I immediately regretted my decision.

"Selena?" Lance questioned.

Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Why, why, why, why, why.

"Oh, um hi Lance, I didn't know that this was you." Wow, nice one Selena.

"Didn't you check the caller I.D.?" He laughed.

"Uh no."

"Oh, okay then."

"What did you want?" I ask rather harshly. He hasn't even tried to contact me ever since he told me he couldn't meet with me that weekend because he needed to take care of his 'cousin' Bri. That bitch, she just went along with his dumb act and never said anything about it. Doesn't she have remorse? Is she actually okay with being his play toy? Is it fun when you do those things? I really wouldn't know. I would feel sick, especially if I met the girl he was cheating on. I would feel so awful, but maybe she just doesn't care since shes been the one cheating before. That's so terrible. When your in a relationship, your in a relationship with only one person; it's not and shouldn't be a two way street. You commit to a relationship because you only want to be with one person, you only want to kiss, hold, and maybe one day love, only one person. If you don't want that then don't commit. Don't lead someone on when you don't want them.

"Hello, Selena are you still there?" He questioned.

"Uh yeah, what were you saying?"

"I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out this weekend since I couldn't make it because of-"

"Your cousin Bri," I scoffed "Lance, is she even your cousin? I've heard otherwise and if you just don't want to be with me then just say so, is there really a need to lie? We have been, well whatever we are now for at least four months. If you didn't want to be with me then why take me out on dates? Why have four hour phone calls almost every night? I refuse for you to leave me in a little dark corner like a pathetic little toy you only use when the toy you actually want to play with is being boring or broken. I'm not a toy Lance, I'm a fucking human being, you got that? I won't stand here waiting to receive your attention only when you want to give it to me. I know that I'm more than that, I deserve better." I said breathlessly, he needed to hear it and I needed to say it. I finally know how I should be treated and I know damn well by now it's not like this. Saying that, it felt good.

"Where the fuck is all this coming from Selena?! What the hell do you mean? Why would you assume-"

"Assume what?! I know now that Bri is more than a cousin Lance. Don't talk and try to belittle me like I'm a child you asshole. I know everything now and I'm done with you. Done with your games, your treatment, done with your everything. Bye."

"Wait! Sel-"

With that I hung up.

I throw my phone over into the passenger seat and rest my head on the steering wheel, needing to take a few breaths and calm myself down. He didn't need to lie, the very least he could do was have the decency to tell me the truth. That ass wipe. At least I got him out of my life. I can do better, I know I can but, but he just seemed right. I just have to get my mind off of him right now. A little notification popped up on my phone showing that I had a few texts.
