"Screw him, Scarlet." Christina was trying to comfort me as I came home flipping out.
"I ca- I- I can't do this. I- he was- Oh god I can't" I yelled through sobs. Christina knelt down to me, as I was on the floor struggling for air.
"You don't need him. And one day, in a few months maybe, he's going to look at your icy blue eyes and your adorable smile and he's going to break. He's going to realize how bad he fucked up and how much he needs you. And you won't take him back. For the first time, he will be hurting as much as you are right now." She whispered to me.

Ethan's POV
I dragged myself back into my house realizing I was still naked. I threw myself onto my bed and stared at the ceiling while I ran my hands through my hair.
What did I do. What did I do. Oh my god. I lost her.
Tears started forming in my eyes. Here I go again, fucking everything up. I stood up and punched a hole through my wall.
"Why am I so fucking stupid?!" I yelled to nobody. I felt like I couldn't breathe. The only thing I could see was her face right before she left. She looked- hopeless and broken and as if everything she's ever had got destroyed. I was everything she had.. She had nobody. She once told me I'm the reason she can still smile. But after seeing the look on her face, how bad I hurt her, I don't think I'll ever see that smile again.
And I love her, I love her so much. I didn't want to cheat on her. The guys made me chug tequila. I wasn't thinking straight, if I was sober I would have never done it.

Scarlet's POV
The days of the summer passed by slowly. I just spent every day going through the motions. I didn't smile or laugh, unless it was fake. I don't feel anything except for how much I miss him. He has called and texted me countless times and I haven't answered. He's showed up at my door and I slammed it in his face without saying one word. I would slide down the door holding back my tears as I listened to the sound of his knocks and calls.
I make it seem like he's dead to me. He's not though, he's stuck with me.
