Y/N P.O.V. 

Scarlett and I were singing our favorite songs as Chris tried his best to join in. He didn't know the words exactly, but he was trying really hard, and I give him credit for that. Anthony just smiled as Chris clumsily sang his way through the songs.

Ding!

I cut myself off mid-lyric with, "One sec."

I pulled out my phone and checked it. Hm, it's Tom! I scooted closer to the window so no could see my screen.

------------

Tom:

Hey Y/n... Can we talk?

Y/n:

Oh no.. fine it was me. i confess. what do you know?

Tom:

Hahaha I knew it was you who took my jacket while we were on the plane.

Y/n:

I was going to give it back in a day...or two....or ten...years. But what did you need to talk to me about?

Tom:

I feel horrible doing over the phone but it's important.

 I have to break up with you, Y/n.

Y/n:

.....I hope this is a joke. and if so, it isn't funny Tom!

Tom:

It's not

Y/n:

Seriously. couldn't you have waited until we stopped somewhere?! Do you know how long it took me to confess to myself that I liked you!

Tom:

I'm sorry Y/n... I wish I didn't have to do this.

Y/n:

......whatever

--------------

I felt tears roll down my eyes as I tried to stay strong in every way possible. Even so, I couldn't fight back the tears anymore and I let them roll down my face.

"DON'T STOP BELIEVING—" Scarlett seemed to suddenly notice something was very wrong. "Y/n, what happened?" Scarlett stop singing while Chris and Anthony, blasting the music, still couldn't hear what was happening.

"I got t-text dumped," I said, hugging her and crying louder, forgetting that my relationship had been a secret. Chris seemed to then notice and turned down the music.

"Oh, what a jerk! Couldn't they wait until you guys next got to see each other?" Scarlett asked, holding me tighter.

"That's-s what I said-d. I'm such a hot mess right now... S-sorry," I stuttered. I didn't realize that Chris had called Sebastian and the rest of the gang on FaceTime to 'help' me.

"Listen, Y/n, if they couldn't see the future in store for you, all your potential... then they can go off and die in a hole for all I care," Sebastian said from the phone, making me quickly look up. I realized that looking up was a mistake when I saw Tom on the screen. I quickly wiped my tears, but before I could say anything Audra went Mama Bear for me.

"WHOEVER DID THIS TO YOU, I WILL PERSONALLY GO FIND THEM!" she shouted, cracking her knuckles.

I looked at Tom though the phone and saw his head in his hands. This made me tear up again but I didn't cry. I simply gathered myself and said, "It's alright, guys. Just a burst of emotions that came at me. I'll be fine... for now." I may have only mumbled that last part.

"Y/n, we're always here for you," Chris said, ending the phone call. I saw him look through the mirrors of the car at me. I weakly smiled and nodded. I hold my knees to my chest and lowered my head between my knees.

The rest of the ride was complete and utter silence. I knew they didn't want to sing again because of me, although I wouldn't have minded much. Still, it was greatly appreciated.

Why me?
