"How could you say that?!" I scream.

"That Alex guy you are friends with really pisses me off!" He yells back.

"He's like a brother to me! Why would you think that about us!" I say as tears stream down my face.

He steps closer and grabs my wrists. "Admit it. Are you cheating on me?"

"I'm not. I would never do that." My voice becomes shaky.

"Bullsh*t. Get out, I'm done with you."

I grab all of my belongings and pack them together and leave the house before anyone wakes up. I can't be around everyone. They will make me think of Colby.

How does he not believe me?

I sit in my car and call one of my closest friends. "House."

"Haley, what's wrong? Are you crying?"

"Colby broke up with me." I continue to cry. "He thinks I'm cheating on him with Alex. But, Alex is with someone else, why would I do that? He knows me. I'm not that kind of person."

"Come over now."

I drive straight to her apartment and I can see her waiting out in the parking lot. I step out of my car and she comes running towards me. "I'm so sorry."

"Can we go inside?"

"Yeah, sure."

She helps me grab my bags and we head to her apartment. All of my old stuff is still in my old room, just how I left it. "You kept everything?"

"I knew one day you might need a place to stay." Another tear falls down my face. I sit on the edge of the bed and Hailey comes and sits next to me. "Tell me everything that happened."

FLASHBACK

"Haley, what's this?"

"What is what?" I ask.

He shows me the picture of my friend, Alex, and I that I posted on Instagram. "Why does it say 'love this guy'?"

"It's not what you think, Colby."

"Are you cheating on me?"

"Of course not."

He steps closer. "Then why would you say that?!"

"He's my friend!"

"Sure he is."

"I'm not lying!"

"You're cheating on me!"

"How could you say that?!" I scream.

Tears pour down my face. "He dumped me."

Hailey wraps her arms around me and whispers in my ear. "I'm so sorry." She pulls away and looks me in the eyes. "Girls night, right now."

"But it's like 11pm."

She gets up and heads out of the room, then comes back with two cartons of ice cream. "I come prepared."

COLBY'S POV

I slam my fist on the bedroom door, Haley once used to stick sticky notes on with love letters before she left the house.

I look up and see a neon pink sticky note at the top of the door.

I grab it and read the words Haley left.

I wish you would believe me. I would never do something like that to anyone, especially you. If you want to come back, I'm going to Hailey's.
-Haley

A tear streams down my face, I realize everything I've done to her, while she was sitting there patiently.

Mackenzie bursts into my room and sees me holding the note from Haley. "Where is she?" She demands.

"She's gone." I look down.

"What do you mean she's gone?! What did you do to her?!"

"I was jealous!"

"Jealous of what?!"

"Her friend, Alex. I know she's been friends with him just as long as she has been friends with you, but seeing her look happier with him broke my heart. I dumped her because of this, I'm so stupid. I need to get her back."

She puts her hand on my shoulder. "Give her space. She needs time alone, when she's mad she blocks herself from loved ones. This is what's best for her. Wherever she is, she is getting the care she needs."

"She's at Hailey's."

"Hailey will know what to do with her. Go see her tomorrow afternoon. Give her some time to blow steam."

"Can you talk to her for me?"

"Sure."
