Rachel's POV

"Davina!" I screamed, running out of the school along with everyone else. Tears were covering almost every inch of my face and my feet hurt from running in heels, but none of that mattered. I watched as my sister drove away in Selena's car, leaving Kian standing alone in the process, and I sighed before sobbing.

I covered my mouth with my hand and cried. I knew this would happen. No matter how many precautions I took, my secret came out and ruined everything. Everyone's eyes were fixated on me once Davina was out of sight. I could practically touch the disappointment and tension radiating off them and onto me.

"Well, that was dramatic." Grayson's voice made my sadness turn into anger within a second. I turned and saw him smiling at me with happy eyes.

Without thinking, I pounced on him, throwing him down to the ground. I straddled him and punched his face repeatedly. He tried to block my fists, but he failed almost every time. I didn't care that I was beating someone up in the parking lot of my senior prom, I just wanted him to hurt.

Profanities came streaming out of my mouth as my knuckles collided with his cheeks. "This is all your fault, you fucking prick, why couldn't you leave us alone?!" I was crying and screaming like a crazy bitch. I could hear everyone talking behind me but I didn't pay them any mind.

A pair of hands grabbed my hips and started lifting me off Grayson. As I was being picked up, I kicked his stomach and groin multiple times, making him yell in pain.

"Enough!" Jc's angry voice made me stop my attempts. I faced him as his hands left my body. He looked at me with cold eyes.

The anger left my body as I gazed at him. I knew that I was losing him, he was looking at me like I was someone he couldn't recognize. Jc turned and walked back into the school. I glanced at Grayson's bloody face. "Go back to Virginia and never think of us again." I spit in his face before going after Jc.

He continued walking down the hall when I knew he heard my footsteps coming after him. "Jc," I said. "Jc!" I spoke louder when he didn't stop. "Can we talk, please?" I begged as my voice shook with uneasiness.

He turned around. "Wanna talk?" Jc said firmly. "Fine, let's talk. Let's talk about how you lied to me. You said that you never did anything with him and that Sienna was a liar."

"Jc, I-"

"And you lied to everyone else. You lied about their plan, you lied about everything!" He yelled. His eyes were dark and indignant. I watched him as his face shown nothing but hurt and anger. "Not only did you sleep with someone who used girls to make himself look good and hurt them in the process, you slept with your sister's boyfriend. And he was assaulting her!" Jc's voice was cold, it sent waves of agony throughout my mind.

"I know," I cried. "I've regretted it every day since. I didn't want to hurt you or Davina, I promise..." He scoffed before turning his head and running his hands through his curly hair. "I'm sorry!"

He faced me again and he looked even more irritated, if that was possible. "Who the fuck are you?!" He yelled.

I stared at him, frozen, with tears running down my cheeks. We were both silent as the rhetorical question hung in the air. There was no answer to be given, I didn't know who I was. He didn't know, either. I did something unspeakable and it's bound to make everyone look at me differently.
