After I'm dressed, I decide to go for a walk with my small, fluffy Pomeranian, Boo. I have a modelling shoot later in the afternoon, but they don't need to prep my hair and makeup until later, so I let the cool breeze wash through my long hair, and the sun warm my bare face.
Suddenly, I feel a pair of arms around my waist, and I stifle a scream before realising who it is. I turn around and look into his eyes. They're so many different colours, it's like I could get lost in them.

"Hey," Joey says softly.

I try to smile faintly. "Hi...what are you doing here?"

He gestures to his skateboard. "Having a ride, what about you?"

"I just wanted fresh air."

I turn to look into the distance again, wishing I was anywhere but here.

"I thought you were busy with the boys." I say quietly.

Joey looks embarrassed. "Oh yeah, that got cancelled."

I turn around to look at him again and all of a sudden something snaps inside me. I'm sick of weakening at his stupid smile, I'm sick of wanting to impress him and please him and hope he finds me interesting. I'm sick of lying to myself that there's nothing going on between him and Luna. I push his hands off me.

"Y/n, are you okay?" He asks, frowning and reaching for my hand.

I pull my hand away. "No. No I'm not. I know exactly what's going on, Joey. And I'm sick of pretending. I'm not being with someone who lies to me."

He looks confused, and then realisation settles on his face and a shadow of anger flashes across it. "What are you talking about?"

I sigh, almost laughing at the fact that he's still lying. "Look, I'm not stupid. I know what's going on with Luna. I don't know why you did it.
A tear rolls down my cheek and I quickly swipe it away.
"I thought I could ignore it, and you would say something. But you lied. You're nothing but a liar, Joey Birlem."

I walk away, my heart pounding. I hear him calling my name but I pick Boo up and stride on until I get home. I burst through the door in floods of tears, sinking onto the tiled floor.

My heart breaks into a million pieces, and they fall around me as my tears splash onto the white, comforting cloud that is my dog.

I knew it, all along.
