We climb into the car and I stay silent. I think if I speak, I might blow up. Probably literally.

"I assume you're not gonna be the first to say anything." He says, basically reading my mind.

I'm actually quite surprised at how calm he is. I look up and tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. I glance over in his general direction and see that his knuckles are bone white from gripping the steering wheel. But still, I stand my ground and don't say a word.

"Fine. I'll do the talking. First off, what the fuck? You were literally just out with me like the other day! You moved on so quick that you're with the poser? Literally I thought you were better than that, better than getting with u-"

"Shut the fuck up." I say softly.

"What did you just say?" He stops the car.

I turn to him, "I said, shut the fuck up. I didn't think I fucking stuttered."

He looks at me with wide eyes, mouth hanging open.

"Devin has way more fucking heart than you do. Devin shows me off, he makes it be known that he wants me. Devin doesn't care what other people think. Devin isn't a fucking liar and he wouldn't tear my heart out like you did." 

"I hurt you that bad?" He says, turning back towards the steering wheel.

"You made me believe that I could trust someone. You are THE ONLY person who knows what my dad said to me. You gave my mother hope. You gave me hope. You gave me trust." 

I feel a tear fall down my face. My hair is totally in the way of my face but I don't care to move it out of the way.

"You took every last bit of what I had left and tore it up."

I feel more and more tears falling from my eyes, but I don't wipe them away. I'm too busy staring intently at him.

He turns slowly and takes his hand and softly tucks my hair behind my ear.

"No. No, no, no. Yo-" I say but then am interrupted by a phone call.

I take out my phone and I see Devin's name on the phone screen. I answer it.

"Hey, what's up?" I try to pretend like I'm not crying.

"There's a party at Morgan's tonight. I thought maybe since tomorrow we don't have school, and since your having a tough time right now that you'd like to let loose a little. If you don't w-"

"No, I want to go. Pick me up at the intersection of Dinwiddie and Garner."

He says okay and we hang up. Ethan is looking at me with burning eyes when I turn back to him.

"Who was that?" He says, obviously knowing who it was.

"None of your business. You lost that right when you decided that 'you never wanted me to sit with you'. But if you'll excuse me, I have a party to attend." I say, climbing out of his parked car and walking over to the intersection.

I stand there for 5 minutes before Devin picks me up. I look back and I see Ethan's car still there.
