     I run past Oliver and Annabel, tears streaming down my face. Oliver doesn't even notice that I leave. When I get home, I collapse on my bed and scream into my pillow.
     My phone rings, it's Grace.
     I decline the call and turn my phone off. Eventually I fall asleep, still in my clothes that I wore to the party. My dreams are filled with haunting images of Oliver and Annabel...
      How could she... how could he?!
     When I wake up, I'm under the covers in my pyjamas. I pray that it's because last night never happened, but I come downstairs and am proved wrong.
     "You fell asleep in your clothes last night. Says mom. "You must've been tired. Did you have fun?"
     I put on a happy face and force the depression out of my mind.
      "Great time, mom." I say, with fake enthusiasm. "I had lots of fun."
     I check my phone while I eat my breakfast. There's 16 missed calls and 48 texts from Oliver.
     Bastard.
      I text Grace and ask her to meet me at Starbucks and when I see her standing at the doors, I loose all composure. I tell her what happened, from the two grade 11's to what happened with Oliver and Annabel.
     "Annabel was only staying with us for a week." Says Grace, trying to comfort me. "She'll be gone on Sunday."
     But Oliver won't be. I'll have to see him on Monday, and every school day until summer. Even though summer was a week away, it still felt like forever.
     By Monday, Oliver had tried to call me another 21 times and texted 67 times in one day. But I didn't want to talk to him...
     When I got to school, I walk right past Oliver and start a conversation with Jasmine. At lunch, I sit alone. When I open my locker to get my things so I can go home, a note falls to the floor.
     Meet me at Starbucks, I need to straighten some things out.
     -Oliver
     I will go. But only because I need to put this problem to rest. I have to tell him how much he hurt me and that I never want to talk to him again.
     I'm going to break up with Oliver.

     Hey guys! I know it's a short chapter but it's late, and I wanted to leave you guys at a cliff hanger... sorry!!! Will Lauren break up with Oliver? Find out tomorrow! And remember, I love your feedback!
