As we're pulling up Kayla's  blonde Cockapoo Vera waddle/runs up to the car wagging her tail furiously. I hop out of the car picking up Vera and cradling her in my arms as i walk up to Kayla's front door. I go into the kitchen to raid her fridge as usual to see that there is tons of food and drinks set out on the massive counter space. 

"What's this?!" I asked confused that she had put effort into this party.

"Food that my mom set out" she replies calmly.

"That explains it" I say laughing at my dumbness, blonde moments tho. I make some grilled cheese realizing I have 20 minutes to eat and clean up my mess. Fifteen minutes later I'm done eating and have cleaned everything up. 

The first person to show up is my boyfriend, he normally comes early to hang out with me before everything. This time however something seems different, he seems distant. Was it something I did? He looks at me for a while before he says something.

"Blake, can I talk to you alone?" he looks sad. I'm terrified, this can't be good. 

"Sure" I say leading him to the guest bedroom. We walk in and I close the door hesitantly. All he's doing is staring at me. He leans in and gives me a soft kiss on the lips. 

"One last kiss, I'm sorry." at this point I'm confused out of my mind.

"Wh-what do you mean? I mean I'm not trying to make this emotional but for real, I am so confused right now. And if this is a trick or something, I'm not getting it." He looks at me with such sorrow and grief.

"Blakelyn, I'm breaking up with you." With those last words he turns around and walks out the door. I'm left there frozen with surprise. Just the other night we were celebrating two years together, I thought we were doing good. I sit on the bed and try to come up with some explanation. Nothing. I walk into the living room where there a very confused Kayla and an uncomfortable ex-boyfriend. I walk in and sit next to Jax who is now playing with his thumbs.

"Did I do something wrong?" I make him look at me, it almost looks like he's going to cry.

"No, it's me." I got the record deal in L.A. and I took it. I also don't feel that connection that we had two years ago." He looks at me with a pity smile.

"Oh, um, that's great." I say fighting back tears. " The record deal, not the other thing." trying to create a smile.

"I'm sorry, it's just I'm going to date Alexis now because she's going to the same place as me and they want me to date someone involved in fame and singing and you know, the Hollywood stuff." Now I'm on the verge of killing him. Alexis also know as Lexi is my arch nemesis, and not the kind in the movies. We've broken bones and almost killed each other multiple times. She's my half sister sorta. She's my step-dad's step-daughter so basically we're barley related. I love my step dad but oh my gosh Lexi is the devil I swear. He doesn't even like her. And now my ex-boyfriend is going to date her?!? 

Just so I don't go on a rampage I walk out to the backyard and outside the fence to the barn where all the animals are. Kayla doesn't ride horses or like cows, or pigs, or sheep, or any farm animal, or any animal at all unless it's a dog, cat, or elephant. But her dad and mom love riding horses and all that jazz, and so do I. I go up to the barn and get on the roof because if you go up the fence and jump up on the roof, you can see for miles. It's beautiful, this is what calms me down. I look back at the house to see people are starting to show up which means I need to put me shoes back on and get up there so Kayla doesn't get mad. I also see Jax on the back porch trying to calm himself down as well. When he see's me walking up to the house he walks back inside and starts talking to some of his friends. Kayla walks up to me and pulls me into a hug, I honestly hate hugs but I'm do depressed right now to care so I hug her back. I look at Jax to see that he's staring right back at me. I got a record deal last year but I declined it because I wanted to stay in Florida with Jax. But apparently he doesn't care about me like I care about him. The rest of the party wasn't much, I talked to some friends, told them what happened, and took in those pity-looks from everyone. I went into the extra bedroom to think only to find 2 couples making out with each other so I went into Kayla's room which was off limits but because I'm her best friend I can basically do whatever I want. I sit down in her bay window and look out at the peaceful dark night. The dark navy-purple sky is filled with bright shining stars, that light up the beautiful rolling hills. I sit there thinking about my life, what I've done wrong, what I've right, all the chances I should've taken, mistakes. You know what normal people think about when their boyfriend breaks up with them after two years. All the sudden I feel streams of wetness streaming down my face...I'm crying. I never cry, this is so new to me. I sit there bawling my eyes out, wanting to die for what feels like hours, but really it's minutes. I hear a knock and see Kayla standing by the door. She walks up to me and immediately wraps her arms around me. 

"Do you want me to get Jordan?" Jordan is like my brother. He's always there for me no matter what is going on. He's seen me at my worst and at my best. We've known each other since we were 2 years old. We tried dating in 8th grade but it was weird because I considered him my brother and he considered me his sister so we broke up after a week.

"Sure, I guess" she walks out the door and a few seconds later she walks in with Jordan by her side. He see's my tear stained face and sits next to me.

"You sad cause of that butt-face Jax?" he says trying to get me to laugh. He gets me to chuckle but I just nod it off.

"Yeah, I guess. I mean I really thought it would last, ya know?" he nods is response. "I'm probably more let down than sad."

"Trust me I know how you feel." he gives me a weak smile. "I'm going to hug you right now and I honestly don't care what you think or say." I laugh a little and let him hug me while I start to cry on his shoulder. We sit like that until we hear the music being turned off and people start to leave. 

The three of us walk out the door into the living room. The place isn't too trashed but it's still messy, however Kayla makes me go home. Jordan takes me home though because Kayla took me here. Jordan drops me off at my place and I immediately go and lock myself in my room. I hear my sister knock on my door but I ignore her and put in my earbuds. Eventually I fall asleep, but I only have nightmares about Jax and my basically life.
