Text from Kim:

I'm coming over now to get ready for the party? Is that okay?

M: Yes! That's fine. I replied.

I closed my phone and turned on the tv before a couple minutes later, Kim knocked on my door.

We both went up into my room and got ready for the party. My boyfriend was having a party at his house.

I put my makeup on, curled my hair and got dressed. After we had both finished, it was time to go to the party.

I stepped out onto my porch and ta warm summer breeze filled the air. We got into Kim's car and headed to the party.

When we got there, I was amazed at how the place was decorated. My boyfriends parents were both lawyers, and they had a huge house. I could hear the music blasting from inside the house and from the backyard.

We got out of the car, and entered the house. I greeted a few of my other friends and Kim went to hang out with her boyfriend, while I tried to find mine.

I first looked on the main floor, and then in the basement. He was nowhere to be seen. Which was odd, since he did like being the centre of attention. I then looked in the backyard. I still couldn't find him.

"Maria!" I heard a familiar voice call out to me. I turned around to see my boyfriends best friend.

"Oh, hey!" I said to him, smiling.

"So, where's your boyfriend? Shouldn't you be with him?" He said to me.

"Oh, uh, I can't find him. That's just what I was going to ask you. Do you know where he is?" I asked.

"The last time I saw him he was going up the stairs." He told me. I thanked him and headed upstairs.

The only thing he had upstairs was a washroom and a couple bedrooms, so I don't know why he would be up here.

I checked all the rooms, until I came to the last one. I opened the door and what I saw made me gasp. I looked in the room, and there was my boyfriend, in bed, shirtless with another girl.

"What the fuck is this?" I screamed at him, tears filling my eyes.

"I, um, Maria— I can explain." He said to me.

"No need, you bastard. I never want to speak to you again." I slammed the door on is face and rushed into the washroom.

How could he do this to me? I thought he loved me. At least, that's what he told me, I thought.

I cried into my hands until I finally texted Kim.

M: Can we leave now?

K: wh at? why fhdo you waNt 2 lea ve no w ?

I closed my phone and rolled my eyes. I wasn't going to bother because by the way she texted me, I knew she was drunk. I guess I'll just call a cab.

I continued to cry until someone knocked on the door.

"Hello? Is anybody in there?" An unfamiliar voice called into the washroom.

"Uh, yeah. I'll— I'll get out." I said, sniffling.

I got up from the side of the bathtub I was sitting on and unlocked the door. I opened it, and standing outside the door was a guy I had never seen before.

He was extremely tall, with brown hair and dark eyes. He was extremely attractive, as well.

I wiped the tears from my eyes, said a quick "sorry" to him, and started to head downstairs.

"Wait!" He called out to me, causing me to stop in my tracks and turn around, giving him a weird look.

"What's— what's wrong?" He asked me.

"It's— it's nothing. It's not like you care, anyways." I told him, wiping tears from my eyes.

"No, I mean— if you want to talk about it, we can." He said to me.

"Uh, o— okay." I said to him. He led me into one of the bedrooms where it was quiet and we sat on the couch in there.

I proceeded to tell him what had happened, crying even more than before. The thought of me being cheated on after I trusted my boyfriend so much made me feel like complete garbage.

"That guy was an asshole, you deserve way better." He said.

"Uh, thanks. I'm Maria, by the way." I told him.

"I— I know." He said. "I'm Nick."

I looked up and gave him another weird look. "What do you mean you know?" I asked him.

"Boy, this is gonna sound really weird. We have a couple classes together." He said. "You've never really payed attention to me. But— I've payed attention to you. I think you're really pretty."

"Oh, uh, thanks." I said to him, wiping tears from my face.

There was a few moments of silence before he offered to take me back to my house.

"Are you sure? I mean— I don't want you to go to any trouble." I told him.

"No, no. It's okay. You obviously don't want to stay here and I was planning on leaving anyways." He said. I agreed, and we left the party and I got into his car.

The whole car ride was silent, but I noticed Nick looking at me a lot while he was driving. Weird.

When we pulled up to my house, I got out of the car and he got out with me. I looked into his eyes and thanked him.

And then, before I knew it, his lips were pressed against mine. His warm and soft lips sent a shiver down my spine as I put my hands on the back of his neck, and he wrapped his arms around my waist.

After a minute or so, I pulled away. "Thank you for everything, Nick." I said.

"Anytime." He said, as he smirked and the winked at me.

We kissed once again and he got into his car and drove off.
