flashback:

"Jenna, we need to tell you something..."my friends Izzy and Kara quietly whispered to me while we were seated in the library. It has just been a week since bryan broke up with me, and I found solace in the library.

"What?" I looked at them, raising my eyebrows. I could see the fear and hesitation in their eyes.

"let's go outside." Kara urged and started to stand up.

I followed them through the doors of the library. "ok..what's up? " I asked.

They stood in front of me, looking at each other,darting their eyes towards me.

"seriously. what is it? you're starting to scare me."

Kara started to speak first. "promise you won't get mad."

"what!? I'm totally confused right now. You guys better spill.now."

they both looked at me.

"jenna, did bryan ever tell you the real reason he broke up with you?" Izzy quietly started, extending her hand towards me.

I felt my face burn. "wh-what do y-you mean?" I stuttered.

"did he tell you?" Kara urged.

"He-he told me that..he didn't want to be with me anymore" I began to say. how painful it was to say it out loud.

"Well...Eric told us that Bryan has been seeing...someone..behind your back" Izzy slowly said and held my arm.

I felt my face go numb. "wh-who was he seeing?" 

They were both silent.

"please tell me.." I begged, tears rolling down my face.

"It's Liv" Kara murmured.

It was Liv. my roommate. whore-bitch extraordinaire.

that cheating bastard.

I broke down on the library footsteps.

" well..hello Jen-na" Liv drawled out with her fake smile. "are you here all alone?" she eyed me from head to foot.

I stood there staring at her.

"uhm.." I tried to find words but they all escaped me. I tucked my hair behind my ears and started to shift from one foot to another.

She raised an inquiring eyebrow at me, waiting for an answer.

Suddenly, an arm wrapped firmly around my waist. "There you are, Babe!"

I whipped my head to the side and found myself staring into Matt's dark eyes. His mouth curved into a sly smile.

Before I could say anything, he brought his mouth mere millimeters away from mine. "Sorry I'm late" he murmured, brushing his soft lips against mine. I stiffened against him but he simply pressed his lips on mine and held me tighter. His lips moved against my own closed mouth, his tongue tracing my lips, asking to be let in. "Jenna.." he growled again into my lips.
