"Look Tasmyn... We...can't be together anymore." Maddy's words are barely audible as he struggles to not look up at Tasmyn face. I move slightly so I can glimpse at her expression and my heart aches for her. She already looks broken. Although Maddy is a complete bitch, even to Tasmyn at times, everyone knows how much she cares for the bastard.
"W-why? D-did I do something?" Tasmyn's voice breaks and I immediately place my arm around her shoulder, which she gladly leans in to. Maddy is clearly shocked once he notices how Tasmyn has reacted and guilt floods over his face.
"I'm so sorry Taz, I've just...fallen for someone else. But I still care about-" Tasmyn cuts Maddy's sentence off,
"Don't say you care about me Maddy! Clearly you don't if you can easily move onto someone else after 2 years!" Tasmyn's tears flow down her chizzled cheeks and fall to the ground with silence. I attempt to comfort her as Maddy struggles to think of what to say. I realise he hasn't mentioned that fact that he cheated on her and she deserves to know that. So, I act up on it.
"Tell her about the other night Maddy." I boldly demand. Maddy freezes up even more than before but I think he knows that telling Tasmyn, is the right thing to do. Tasmyn focusses her attention on Maddy, as do I.
"Well Taz-"
"Tasmyn." She corrects, causing Maddy to frown.
"Right. Tasmyn. You know how I went to Blake's party the other night?" Maddy starts, earning a simple nod and look of anger from Tasmyn. As if she knows Maddy's about to confess something, she won't like to hear.
"Well... I slept with someone that night." Maddy's tone shows that even he is disappointed in himself. Surprisingly. Tasmyn's jaw drops to the ground along with another set of tears.
"Are you serious?! Two years Maddy! We have been together for two years, and you decide to cheat on me now!" Tasmyn pauses to take a breath and I return my arm back around her shoulders. I hear her take a deep breath.
"Who is she?! If one night with her can kill a two year relationship, she must be pretty fucking special!" Tasmyn exclaims towards Maddy, who doesn't say a word.
"Willow Soloman." I sarcastically spit. I expect Tasmyn to look towards Maddy but instead she turns to me, with a, somewhat, sympathetic look.
"Willow? As in, your best friend Willow?" She's asks me with sadness in her voice.
"Yes, Willow, as in, my no longer best friend." Tasmyn's mouth curves down in a frown.
"I'm so sorry Lily. That must be hard on you. Having your best friend sleep with your ex and-" she turns to Maddy, who is shifting awkwardly,
"Your bully!" She says.
She is so sweet. Even though its Maddy we are talking about, she is worried about me and how I am feeling. She is literally, the opposite of Maddy.
"Don't worry about me Tasmyn. I am fine." I lie. She smiles at me before turning back to Maddy.
"Don't talk to me ever again Maddy. I may forgive you one day, but right now, you disgust me." I then watch as Tasmyn rips her necklace off her neck, causing the chain to break. Then hands it to Maddy before storming off, her sobs echoing through the school halls. Maddy looks down at the broken necklace in his hands, before also walking off in the other direction. I stand there for a few seconds before I feel my phone buzz in my pocket.
Tasmyn - Hey, I forgot to say thank you to you before walking off 😊❤️
Lily - Its fine Tasmyn honestly. I just hope you're gonna be okay! ❤️
Tasmyn - I will thanks to you. I am guessing you told Maddy to talk to me, right? ❤️
Lily - Yes I did. I did not want him to lie to you any longer ❤️ you deserve better
Tasmyn - You are so sweet Lily! Thank you! Can I please sit with you at lunch? ❤️
Lily - Ofc! I'll be sitting with my friend Cole ❤️
Tasmyn - Okay! You two are cute together btw! 😉❤️
Lily - We are just friends Taz.. 😂❤️
Tasmyn - Mhmmm 😉 See you at lunch! ❤️
I place my phone back in my pocket while shaking my head and giggling.
"Lily!" I hear Cole call my name as he runs towards me. We chat for a few minutes then head to class once we hear the first bell.
