Liz's POV
I think I got lost in the story and when I finished I had completely forgotten where I was and who I was talking to until Alex's hand reached for my cheek wiping away a tear I didn't know had fallen.

"Wow. So her whole plan was just to hurt you and he went along with it."

"Well I don't know if he knew the plan but I guess kinda yeah."

"He had to of known right? I mean I'm assuming he new what happened between you two and he must have known you were trying to be friends again and he did it anyways." Woah. I never thought about it like that. I also just assumed he was your average horny teenage boy but Alex is right. He did know all those things. So was he just trying to hurt me the whole time too. But why? What did I ever do to him? "Liz?"

"Oh uh can I actually be alone for a little bit."

"Yeah sure just come find me when you're ready"

I just nodded already lost in my thoughts. For me this was a big deal. Jake was the first person I ever loved and to think that he was just out to hurt me really did hurt me. Did he ever even care about me? Was our whole relationship a lie? I don't get it. I never did anything to hurt him so why would he want to hurt me so badly? It doesn't make sense.

As I continued trying to piece this all together I felt a hand on my shoulder. When I looked up I saw Mark.

"Hey are you okay? I saw you come in here with Alex but I only saw him come out."

"Honestly no. But I will be. I just want to be alone."

"No you shouldn't be alone now. Not if you're not doing okay."

"That's really nice of you Mr. Sim-"

"Uh-uh I told you to call me Mark"

"Sorry Mark that's really nice of you but I just really want to be alo-" I was stopped by his hand slowly moving up my leg. "Um uh what are you doing?"

"Oh come on Liz. I heard about your little reputation at school. You can't tell me you don't like this."

"I-I've change" I stutter, struggling to get out the words trying while also trying to back away from him. Luckily I succeeded but he took no time at all chasing after me pinning me against the wall leaning in to kiss my neck. When he was only a hair away he whispered:

"Sluts don't change"

I felt his hot breath on my neck followed by multiple kisses. Then I heard it. Castle on a hill by ed Sheeran. It was my ringtone.

He pulled off me confused by where the song was coming from. I took that
time to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Liz you need to come home now" it was Meg. I could hear the worry in her voice.

Oh my god Travis.

"MEG WHAT HAPPENED IS TRAVIS OK"

"He's fine now but if he wakes up I don't know what's gunna happen. Jules is with him now. You just need to get home now. Actually you need to be home 5 minutes ago."

"Oh my god I'm on my way." I hung up throwing my phone in my purse and running for the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" Mark said pulling me back to the wall.

"LET GO OF ME I MEED TO GO."

"It's cute that you think I'm gunna let you go before I get what I want."
