This chapter will be a throwback to what happened after prom.

Skylar's POV

"Talk to me about what?" Grayson walks out of the stall, his hair a mess, tie untied and shirt untucked.

"You just sat in there to whole time, what the fuck?" I ask, "Why are you being like this? You're the one that left me, you can't be hung up on me like that."

"You think I wanted to leave you?" he asks in disbelief and turns around, running his hands through his hair, "I love you, Skylar! I never wanted to leave you, I had to!"

"Why did you have to?" I ask and he looks back at me,

"Let's not to this here..." he says, "Come on, I'll drive." he says and I look at him, "I'm not going to murder you, just come on."

I nod and we leave the bathroom, running into Mariana on the way out. "Hey, Jake left, said he had somewhere to be. We need to find our own rides home, but I think Dana can--"

"Mari, I'm sorry, but I have to go with Grayson." I say and she looks at me, "Not like that, he just has to explain something."

"Okay, um, here's your bag." she hands me it and I gently smile, "I want the full details." she whispers in my ear as she walks away and I nod.

"Okay, let's go." I say and he nods as we go out to his car. "Wait, what about Soph--"

"She'll manage." he sternly says and I look at him with confusion as we keep walking. I get into the passenger seat and he rolls down the windows and opens the sunroof, "We'll be there soon."

I nod and realize where we're going, the pier. By the beach, our town has the pier with a ton of shops, arcades, ice cream parlors and restaurants. Gray and I came here every Friday, even in the winter, and walked around and caught up if our schedules were busy and just walked if not.

Once there, I quickly get out of the car and we start walking. "Why did you have to break up with me?"

"I got drunk, one night." he begins, "And Sophia seduced me and we ended up sleeping together. I wanted to tell you but I couldn't, it would've broken you so I didn't. Sophia knew that and she threatened to tell you if I didn't break your heart and date her..."

I take a deep breath and look at him, "You should've just told me."

"And you wouldn't have broken up with me?" he asks, and I shake my head no, "Okay, what would you have done?"

"I, uh, I would've." I say, rubbing my hands up and down my arms,

"Here." he takes off his back coat and puts it on my. I slide my hands in the large sleeves and shove my hands in the pockets, this is huge. "What would you have done?"

"Honestly, I don't know what I would've done." I say, stopping and turning toward him "But now I know and you can end things with her..."

"I-i can't."

"Why not?"

"I can't break he-"

"Yes, you can! You broke mine!" I exclaim, "This whole thing was a lie, why does it matter?"

"I-I don't know!" he exclaims and I look at him, "I don't know what the hell to do!"

I nod and slide the jacket off, handing it to him, "I'll find my own ride home." I respond, and he shakes his head.

"Don't be ridiculous, I'll give you a ride home, it won't be as awkward as the way here." he says and I nod reluctantly, walking to his car and getting in.

"Thank you." I murmur and get out, going inside. I lock the door behind me and look down at my hand, opening it to reveal the Polaroid picture of him and I that I took from the pocket of his suit. I smile and walk upstairs, stopping in front of Sophia's room. I reach for the nob when I hear moans coming from her room and scoff, walking into my room. I place the picture on top of the frame that already has a different photo of me and Gray in it.

Now I don't know what to do, do I tell Grayson that Sophia is cheating on him? Or do I let him be because I lowkey think he deserves it? I know I shouldn't be too mad at Grayson, but he also should've told me. He didn't want to hurt me, yeah yeah, but I'd rather be hurt that lied to. And it wouldn't have hurt more than seeing him with my twin sister.

My twin sister. That's so fucked up, how could she have just slept with my boyfriend? I never did anything to her, we were always really close, in fact. I sigh and change out of my dress and into a pair of sweats and a teeshirt. I quickly take my hair out which leaves a ton of Bobby pins and small elastics to keep. Too lazy to shower, I brush through it and throw it up in a messy bun and get in bed.

I can't deal with this right now, I will tomorrow. I'll fill in Mariana and she'll help me figure out what to do. She's smart. Hopefully she won't want to get revenge, though. Who am I kidding, she'll want to get revenge and lots of it. I'll talk her out of it depending on who Grayson chooses to stay with.

As for Sophia, I don't know what to do. She's such a bitch, who sleeps with their twin sisters boyfriend, uses it as blackmail, and then cheats on him? I'll confront her tomorrow. For now, I'll just try and sleep through their noise and block Grayson out of my mind. 

Hey here's what went down after prom and it's all a flashback but next chapter will resume the normal time and let's say I'm very excited ;)
