Chapter One

Dear Nobody,

   Today was a little different. Well, a lot different. On a normal day, my boyfriend usually picks me up at 7:50 and we head to school. That was the first sign of trouble.

   I waited in the driveway for about 10 minutes and I realized he wasn't coming, so I decided to call one of my best friends, Kenzie. She always answers, but this time, it went straight to voicemail. 

   I decided not to worry because Kenzie is very irresponsible and probably just forgot to plug in her phone. I just decided to walk to school. 

   That is when all hell broke loose. 

   That is when I saw my boyfriend and some random girl making out against his car. My jaw had dropped to the floor and I almost started crying. 

   I care, well, cared about him and he goes and pulls a stunt like this. I may not be the most popular or most pretty girl at school, but why would he go and make me fall for him and then leave. I guess he just got bored of what we had and decided to move to the next girl falling at his feet. 

   I sauntered over to his car and pulled the girl off of him. She stumbled back and scoffed. I started yelling at Alex and he kept defending himself saying stuff like 'It doesn't matter, it isn't a big deal' or something like 'get a grip, It was just a kiss. Geez.'   

   What he didn't understand was to me, it wasn't just a kiss. To me it felt like I had just been kicked in the stomach and told my mother just died. I had dedicated a year and a half into that relationship and he had the nerve to go and make out with another girl. 

   That isn't even the worst part. Well, it was pretty bad, but the worst part was that he thought it wasn't a big deal. He thought that we could go back to the way things were before. Things will never go back to the way they were before. 

   He never cared about me as much as I cared about him. He may have treated me like he cared, but he is a dang good actor, because even I couldn't see through his act. It gets worse.

   My friends didn't tell me and they knew it was happening. Turns out he was kissing girls almost everyday for two months and nobody told me. 

   I don't think I will ever be able to trust any boy again for a long while after what had just happened. Now, the only person is my older brother, by a year, Garrison, and my older sister by two years, Jenny. 

   You may think, 'oh, that's great, your siblings are the best friends you will have.' Wrong. Garrison is popular and doesn't want to waste his time with me, and Jenny is in college, so the only time I get to see her is after school. 

   I have to figure something out. I am sure the rumors will get around school in less than 24 hours, which will not be good on my part...

   Wish me luck.

Sincerely,

-Elle

   I groaned and slammed my diary shut, throwing it on my bedside table. I ran an annoyed hand through my brown hair and looked around my room. I have so many pictures of Alex and I that I still need to get rid of.

   How can he just do something like that? Take everything we have worked so hard and throw it away like it was nothing. That just blows my mind. I got off of my messy bed and headed downstairs where my mom was cooking spaghetti in the kitchen.
