•Vanessa's POV•

Hello, hello, I know it's been a while
But, baby, I got something that I really wanna let you know, yeah
Something that I wanna let you know...

I shut off my alarm clock and got dressed for school. I felt like looking a little different so I heated up the straightener and started straightening my hair. It only took 15 minutes considering I can straighten hair really fast. Wait school? It's Saturday! I'm such an idiot. Tomorrow is the dance. I feel like it's been so long since I actually knew when the dance was coming. And I don't have a dress. And I need to rehearse the song with Audet and Haley because we're performing. And hopefully Connor will ask me to go with him. I need a girl's day today. Just to relax and go to the mall. I hate shopping but I'm in the mood today. And it's only 8:37 in the morning.

To: Andrea- Hey girl. Can we go to the mall? Tomorrow is the dance and I don't have any dresses. And I thought it was Friday so that's why I'm up early

From: Andrea- Sure girly. I'm actually up too. I can't stop reading! It's the Fault in Our Stars! Be @ ur house in 20 mins

To: Andrea- I'm reading that!! Don't you dare spoil anything for me!! And okay

I went to the kitchen and got strawberries and soy milk to make a protein shake and added the protein powder. I went upstairs to get my phone and my twitter was exploding with notifications. I unlocked my phone and I saw tons of hate comments. Why are people hating on me? I didn't do anything. I saw a tweet with a video linked so I clicked on it. It was Tyler and I's collab. He uploaded his yesterday at night and I uploaded mine at like midnight.

@oursecondoakley *link* I can't believe #Conessa is real!! AND she kissed Tyler while dating Connor!! Freaking slut!! Hope you're single for the rest of your life! @vanessalawley

So that's what it's all about. I was about to go get my blade when the doorbell rang.

"Hey Andrea!" I said while fake smiling.

"Hey! Let's go. I got my car and then we can talk why you're fake smiling," she said.

"B-But-" I started.

"I know you. Now get in the car," Andrea said. Well damn. We got inside and she started the car and we started driving to the mall. She looked at me. I knew I couldn't get out of this one.

"Hate," I said while almost crying.

"Vanessa. Don't listen to those fake fans. That happened to me too but I got over it," Andrea said.

"Really? Be honest, Drea. Did you cut at least once because of the hate?" I asked her. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. After a few more seconds of thinking she finally said something.

"I did. But because no one was there for me. No one understood. But I'm here for you. And you cannot self harm because of this. You're strong. I believe in you. Have you told Connor yet?" She asked.

"No. I just saw the hate right before you came. I made a video with Tyler and I revealed that #Conessa was real because we were playing truth or dare so people know now," I said.

"Fair enough. Now come on. I need to find you a prom dress!" She said while getting out of the car.

"It's not a prom!" I said while getting out of the car.

"Whatever!! You still need a pretty dress," Andrea said and I laughed.

We went to Forever 21 and I saw this beautiful turquoise strapless dress and I think Andrea saw it too cause she yelled, "That is perfect!" She ran towards it and grabbed it.

"I admit it's pretty but it's not the dress for me Drea," I said sadly.

"What? Why not?" She asked.

"I cannot wear anything that doesn't have sleeves. I have fat arms remember?" I said.

"You do not! But if you're not gonna be comfortable with it then I guess we can look for something else," she said while putting the dress back. I started looking for a dress when I saw this gorgeous short violet/purple dress. It was strapless and had several layers of poofy fabric at the bottom. It hugged at the waist and and had sparkles making an explosion on the side. I fucking love it. I'll just wear a tiny sweater or jacket to cover my arms.

"Oh my gosh. It's beautiful!" Andrea yelled behind me.

"I know. I love it!" I said, "I'm going to go try it on."

"I'll go with you," she said. I went to the dressing room, took of my clothes, and put the dress on. I couldn't zip the back zipper so asked Andrea to do it and she did without complaining. I stood outside the dressing room and looked in the big mirror. Wow. I actually don't look completely bad right now. Then I heard a whistle which brought me back to the real world. I saw this guy walking towards me and Andrea. He's kind of cute though. Andrea rolled her eyes. I just kept looking at him while he licked his lips and stood in front of me.

"Sup girls. What's a thing like you doing in here?" The guy said looking at me. My face flushed.

"First of all, I'm not a thing. And second of all, stop looking at me like that. It's getting creepy," I said and pulled down my dress.

"Why don't you go fuck yourself and leave us alone?" Andrea said with an attitude.

"Would the pretty lady want me to leave?" He said while looking at me.

"Yes please," I said, "go away."

"I'm not going away so easily next time. Just watch out. Goodbye for now," he said and left. Okay. That was weird.

"So the dress?" I asked.

"It's perfect," Andrea said.

"Okay then. I'm getting it," I said while smiling.

"Yay! Let's go!" She said and walked to the cashier. I laughed and changed back into my jeans and shirt.

•Connor's POV•

I was scrolling through Tumblr when I got a twitter notification.

@alexanderrr At the mall with the one I love @vanessalawley Sorry to break it to you @connorfranta We've been dating for about 3 months now 😁😘 *pic attached*

And the picture was of Vanessa at the mall in what looks a dressing room with a purple dress on.

I can't believe her. After all we've been through and she cheats on me. And they've been dating for so long. I can't believe her. After about 15 minutes of me being mad I grew sad and texted her.

To Vanessa- We are over. I can't believe you. And I thought you loved me. I guess we're even because I don't love you either. And I never will again. Don't even try to talk to me.

And send.

I didn't mean it.

I still love her.

But my anger and sadness got the best of me.
