---Gina's Pov---

I giddily jump down the stairs, excited for my weekend with Eric. We hadn't hung out much because he was on a mission and I couldn't reach him. He felt bad so we're hanging out today.

I can't wait so I'm going 10 minutes early. I haven't seen him in like a month! Austin is sprawled all over our couch, carelessly flipping through channels.

I like Austin and all but I don't understand why Austin is practically living here now. I mean Olive did beat up his father and I doubt they'd do anything. I mean I do sympathize for him, but he is getting on my nerves. I haven't been able to hang out with Olive as much because she's always talking to him.

I say hi but leave quickly. My smile returns when I see Erics house. I'm so used to going to his house, it's like a second home, so I just walk right in. I hear talking in the kitchen so I follow the voices.

I step into the room and instantly my smile droops. Yes Eric is there, and I'm excited he's back but, he brought somebody with him. They hadn't noticed me yet, they were to busy snogging. My jaw drops and tears rush to my eyes.

"H-how long?" I squeak. Eric breaks out of the kiss and looks at me in shock and worry at the same time. The girl looks just as surprised.

"What? Gina? This isn't what it looks like! You weren't supposed to be here for another 5 minutes!" he says, worry masking his features.

"Oh Im sorry. I was so happy to see you. But I guess your not happy to see me. You know what?" I choke out, trying to sound as angry as I am. Tears spill down my cheeks. "Your like my coat that doesn't fit. You want to know why? Because, I should have kept the receipt." I scowl, tears falling to the ground.

"Gina-" Eric starts.

"Wait Eric? Who is she? What are you guys talking about?" she asks confused.

"Who am I? Im Eric's girlfriend. Eric, did you cheat on me with her or did you cheat on her with me. 'Cause I would really like to know if I was your second choice." I angrily say.

"Uh, I umm..." Eric stammers. Tears blur my vision and all I do is go straight up to him, quietly and angrily say,

"I can't believe you Eric. I thought you loved me." my voice cracks and I clear my throat.

"I hate you." I say, trying to say it as clear as possible. I'm about to leave when I turn and slap him hard on his face. He holds his face and I leave. The other girl leaves three seconds after me, she probably slapped him too.

I don't say a word to the girl. I cross the street and the girl walks away in the opposite direction of me. Frankly I never want to see Eric ever again. I thought we had something. I know I had something, but he obviously didn't if he felt like he needed to cheat on me like that.

I throw open the door in an anger. It scares Austin and he instantly stands. He comes over hesitantly.

"What happened?" he asks, already knowing I'm not alright, or ok. Maybe that's why Olive talks to him, not me.

"Nothing, well something. I need to talk to Olive. Where is she?" I ask. I can trust only one person whole heartedly with my secrets.

"Do you not know? She went to her mothers," he asks, utterly confused.

"Oh, I forgot. I'll call her." I say.

"You can tell me anything, I'm a good sounding board. Or so I'm told." He smiles.

"I trust you," I lie. "It's just Olive is really good at comforting people," I say.

"You can say that again. I swear it's like she has some kind of magic spell over people." he laughs. I sniffle, trying not to break out into tears. He gives me a weak smile and hugs me quickly. I purse my lips and take out my phone.
