Shane's POV

I slam the front door and make my way out to my car. As I'm pulling out of the parking lot, Ryland emerges from his apartment. He runs to me. "Where are you going?" He asks, putting his hand on my shoulder. I yank his hand off of me. A look of hurt washes over him.

I roll my eyes and step into my car. "Wherever my car takes me. I can't be around you right now. I'm not giving you another chance. I hate you!" I scream at him. Ryland jumps, taking a step back with his hands up in surrender. I close the door to my car. Ryland starts yelling things at me. I  turn on the radio, putting the volume up high in order to drown out his voice.

I back out of the driveway and speed off, quickly seeing less and less of him as I go further down the road. Betrayed. That's how I feel. How could he do that to me? I love him! I thought he loved me, too.

I knock lightly on Ryland's door with a smile. I got done with filming my podcast early and decided to come surprise him. After a few moments I open the door and walk into his apartment.

I'm slightly confused when I don't see anybody in the living room or kitchen. I make my way to his bedroom. The door is closed, that's odd. He never shuts his door, especially when he's alone.

I shrug and put my hand on the doorknob. Just as I was about to turn it, I hear strange noises. I remove my hand from the knob. Instead, I press my ear against his door. My mouth drops at what I hear. "Oh my god Damien!" Ryland moans.

Who the fuck is Damien? I shake my head in anger. I listen for a minute or two and begin to feel sick. I start to become more and more furious as I hear more and more moans. I then proceed to barge into his room.

My eyes grow wide when I see this 'so called Damien' guy have his mouth around Ryland's dick. "What the actual fuck!" I yell. Ryland immediately pushes Damien off of him and looks at me with evident fear.

I shake my head and tears start to form in my eyes. Damien quickly covers himself and says, "Who the fuck is this, Ryland?"

I put my hands on my hips, "I'm his boyfriend! Who the fuck are you?"

He sits up and gives Ryland a dirty look, "I thought I was your boyfriend."

Ryland looks between the two of us with scared eyes. I start to walk out of the room, but before I leave I look back at Damien, "No you're right. You are his boyfriend. I was, but not anymore. Good luck with that piece of shit of a man." And with that, I left.

Tears sting my eyes as I think about what happened just a mere ten minutes ago. I honestly have no idea where I'm going. I'm just going to let my car take me where it wants to, so basically where my heart wants to go. As I drive, my crying turns into sobbing.

It starts to become harder to breathe. I can feel that I'm on the verge of a panic attack. Deciding it's not safe for me to be driving, I look around to see where I can pull over. A smile graces my lips when I see that I've somehow ended up on Lisa's street. I quickly park and knock on the door of her apartment.

I put my hands on either side of the door and try to hold myself up as I wait for her to answer. I can't do this. I feel like I'm dying. I can't stay here. I have to go home.
