**Narrator point of view**

"Stop trying to make excuses, Chandler!" I threw my hands up, shaking my head, "We're done."

She pushed Chandler to the side of the door, wiping her tears with the backs of her sleeves. 

"Wait, Hana," Chandler called as she began to open the door.

She ran through the door and away from Chandlers house, eager to be somewhere else.

She knew something had been going on, but she had been denying it. She had been holding onto Chandler, not wanting to let go, or break up; but when she saw the text messages on his phone, she never wanted to see him again. Her worst fears became true, and it became all too much. 

Chandler: I've been thinking about you a lot. That night on the cruise was the best time I've had in a while. 

Brianna: I can't help but feel the same. That night was amazing... You were amazing...                      I miss you :(

Chandler: Me too, but I'll see you on Monday. 

Brianna: Yeah. I can't wait to see you.

Chandler: Same. I'm so glad we met. 

The texts Hana read echoed through her mind as made her way to her car, slowly breaking her heart all over again. She was disgusted by the way they acted towards one another; she never thought Chandler would be that way. 

Hana felt even worse thinking about how Chandler had said 'I love you' to her millions of times, the way he would look at her every time they were together. It all felt like a lie. Even though her heart still beat out of her chest at the thought of his smile, she was done; it was over. She was revolted by merely thinking of him and that girl. 

He had changed since they started dating. He was geeky, amazing, and kind. All of the reasons she liked him completely disappeared. She had been holding onto something that was not there anymore. He wasn't the Chandler Hana enjoyed being around; but it was definitely the Chandler Brianna liked. Everyone liked Chandler. They just don't get a glimpse of the real him.

It's all acting. His smiles. Him loving his fans. It's all an act.

I should have known, Hana thought to herself, the fame and the fans were soon to take over him. It wasn't unexpected, just expected later than sooner.

It all started on that cruise. A hand full of fans were tweeting about how they were going to meet Chandler, but only one of them really stuck out to him--Brianna's.

Hana had seen one of the first texts, but ignored it. Brianna sent 'Heyyy cutie,' and Hana was able to see it from the corner of my eye. Chandler saw it as well and immediately turned his phone over. 

Hana stepped into her car and turned the key in the ignition, starting the car. She turned the steering the wheel, turning away from the car directly in front of her.

She drove. She wasn't exactly sure where she was going, she knew she didn't want to go home looking the way she did; she didn't want to have this conversation with her mom. But she knew she wanted to get away--far away from Chandler.

Her purse sat on the passenger seat. She was reminded of this once her phone dinged with a text. She rolled her eyes, knowing that it was Chandler. It went off again, and again, finally annoying her to the point where she pulled over and picked up her purse. She dug through the pockets, finding her phone.

She unlocked her phone and clicked on the green icon. All notifications from Chandler.

Chandler: Please come back

Chandler: I can explain

Chandler: It's all my fault, I do love you

Chandler: I'm so stupid, she's not worth anything to me. I love you!

Chandler: You're everything to me. I can't be without you, Hana. 

Chandler: Please. Believe me, I love you more than anything in the world.

Reading that last part, she sighed and texted back.

Hana: You should have thought about that before you went and cheated.

She locked her phone and threw it into the glove box, not wanting to ever see his phone contact again. She broke down into loud sobs, hiding herself from the passing cars. If Chandler really did love her, he would have chased her out of his house, bringing her into his arms, telling her its some kind of practical joke. But she knew this was just a fantasy, and he really did cheat. His actions lead her into a spiral of self-doubt, wondering why he would do this. She felt like she could hate him, but even she couldn't. As established before, everyone likes Chandler.
