Do you want me to drop you home?" Tyler asked and I nodded my head, grateful I didn't have to stay here. Just then I noticed Dimitri and Jennifer walk out and I felt my heart clench tight at the sight of him. He looked so good and it hurt.

Just then I noticed him look at me and I instantly grabbed Tyler and pressed my lips against his. I don't know why that was my first instinct but it was.

Tyler was shocked for a few moments but eventually he relaxed and kissed me back. He pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around me. I kissed him hard, throwing all my pain into it.

I knew I shouldn't be doing this but I needed to show Dimitri I didn't need him. I also needed this for myself and I know it wasn't fair to Tyler but I was hurting too much to care.

We then pulled away and Tyler looked down at me with wide eyes. "I'm sorry." I whispered as more tears slid down. "I'm so sorry Tyler." But instead he pulled me closer and kissed me again.

He was nowhere as good as Dimitri but he was still good at kissing. Kissing him helped with the pain a little because I could pretend everything was fine with Dimitri and that it was actually Dimitri kissing me.

But when we pulled away it hurt even more being thrown back into reality again.

Tyler picked me up into his arms and carried me to his car, setting me down inside. I then looked out to find Dimitri talking to Jennifer and he was smiling and laughing with her. I clenched my eyes shut tight against the pain.

Soon Nina got into the back and Tyler started driving away. The entire ride home I kept wondering what I did wrong. What did I do to make Dimitri want to cheat on me? But then I remembered that he probably just wanted to use me to save himself.

I should have known. How could someone like him ever like me? He was everything while I was nothing. I knew I wasn't good enough. But God all the sweet things he said to me, he was so good with words, he fooled me hard.

I started crying again and I felt Tyler look at me with a frown. "Isabella, he doesn't deserve being cried over. You deserve so much better than him!" Tyler said as I wiped my tears, but more kept falling.

"Tyler's right Isa, you are so much better than Dimitri. He never deserved you! And he's going to pay for hurting you, trust me on that. Life works like that, it'll get back at him for hurting you." Nina said as she reached forward and grabbed my hand. I gave it a squeeze back, grateful I had my best friend with me.

A few days had gone by and my heartbreak was just as strong. In fact, it was even worse now as everything settled in. Everything really truly hit me and I just couldn't believe it.

I thought back to everything. The way he used to show up in my dreams, and then when I met him and he tried killing me but then he didn't. Then all the back and forth banter we had until somehow, someway we fell in love. Or, I should say, I fell in love.
