Staying Strong

Chapter 1 The break Up

Maggie POV

I put on my make up and get in my new one of a kind designer dress. Tonight was my four month anniversary with my boyfriend Jake. Jake and I were both really popular in school and we became the it couple. He's tall and has a smile that makes every girl melt. He's a jock, but a really hot jock.

I stare in the mirror at my reflection. My dark brown hair reaches mid-back in beautiful curls and my green eyes are bright and playful. My cheek bones are high with a tint of blush and my lips are full and naturally a pretty pink. My dress is a violet strapless that reaches just above my thigh that show off my long tan legs. I grab my purse and phone and head out of my room to see Jake in the living room. My parents both worked a lot so I only saw them occasionally.

He's dressed in dark blue jeans and in a dressy blue collared shirt. His hair is brown and he has beautiful green eyes. When he sees me he smiles. God he is hot.

"Hey beautiful, ready to go?" he asks after he's finished checking me out.

"Yup!" I say before I kiss him on the cheek.

We hold hands and than we jumped into his silver BMW and he turns on the radio. I start to think about him and our relationship. Jake has been a great boyfriend but I've never told him anything very personal in the four months we've been dating. To tell you the truth I'm not in love with him but it's an easy and fun relationship. We've been on plenty of dates and he makes me laugh and smile but that's it. I've always had a hard time opening up to people, well besides Ben my best friend.

Ben's my bestfriend I've known him since I was a little girl and our families are great friends. My family decided to move to Tail Brook because not only did we need a fresh start but some familarity. I moved here before freshman year started and Ben helped me settle in. We were already friends but the move made us closer and he soon became one of my best friends. He's a popular football guy and introduced me to his friends who I immediately hit it off with. I had tons of friends back in my old town and was quite popular. I met Jake (who's a football jock too) but we never really hung out with each other unless with a big group until a few months ago.

He starts to back out of my house or should I say mansion's driveway. My family and I are very rich, my dad's a business man and he owns a lot of businesses and my mother has a clothing brand that is famous world wide called "Revolutionary". Revolutionary sells preppy and fashionable clothes which every teenager loves (including me). Jake's family is also well off but so is half the town.

We talk about random things until we reach our usual Italian date restaurant. He parks right near the door since the place isn't very busy. We enter the restaurant (which he called earlier reservations for), the waiter shows us our table and we and take our seats than look at the menu.

"Are you getting the alfredo?" he asks already knowing the answer.

"Of couse would I ever get anything else here?" I l joke and look up from the menu. Jake smiles but it doesn't reach his eyes. He looks distracted. "Is everything okay?"

"Yea, Of course don't worry about it," he says and shows me a bright smile.

The waiter comes to take our order and we talk and laugh until we get our food and I dig in. I look up from the delicious food and see Jake frowning and not even touching his food.

"Look Mags, something is wrong and I think we need to talk."

"Sure whats up?" I ask curiously. If this was another girl in my situation I would think he would be breaking up with me. If he does than I'm prepared to not be a heartbroken mess.

"Look being with you these pasts few months have been great and well your perfect and an amazing girl." Ugh, I hate the word perfect. " What I'm trying to say is I think we should break up."

There is a moment of absolute silence and I'm not going to be a whiny and crying because he's breaking up with me even though it hurts.

"Why though you said it was going great?" I ask out of curiousity. and I can see the surprise in his eyes that I'm not crying or screaming.

"I really like you but I don't want to be committed to only one girl."

Ugh douchebag, I think to myself.

"You could of told me sooner of how you felt if you didn't want to be with me then why did you waste my time?" I asked annoyed. We were together for four months and honestly I thought this meant something to him but I guess not.

" I just didn't know how you would take this, honestly I thought you would be in tears," he says nervously.

"No offence but thats a terrible reason,but if you want to break up it's okay with me, I thought everything was fine but I guess not." I say quietly.

"I'm sorry,Mags."

After its completely silent between us,

besides the chatter of the restaurant. I wasn't in love with him but I really cared about him. But maybe this is for the better there are plenty more hot guys and if i'm single I can have fun.

"It's fine," I say after a while," well I'm going to go see you in school."

I got up and went out the restaurant. I realized I didn't have a car with me since I went with Jake so I called Ben.

"Hello?" his deep voice came from the other end.

"Hey Benny can you pick me up at the Italian place, Jake broke up with me."

"He did what?? I'm sorry Mags he's a douche. I'll be there in five."

I end the call and think about my life I have family, friend's and I'm rich overall it's pretty good besides being dumped. I sit on the bench and wait for my amazing reliable bestfriend.
