Everything In-between.

Prologue

"Isn't that what you always said? That you couldn't love?" I choked out, trying to laugh it out as I wiped tears away. "So whats your excuse, Kelton? Because you can't keep saying you love me when it's clearly a lie."

I turned to walk away from him but he wrapped his fingers around my wrist to stop me.

"I know what I said god dammit, just listen to me!" Kelton pleaded. His green eyes pierced into mine, but I couldn't see anything other then a liar.

After all, lying is what he did best.

"You led me on." I whispered, plucking his fingers off my wrist one by one. "You lied about her. You lied about us. So tell me, Kel, what other lie are you going to tell me to save your ass!?"

"I swear, Ellie", he said as he moved closer to me. "I swear I love you. I couldn't admit it because of Anthony! He would murder me, El!"

"How is that an excuse to go sleep with some other girl!?" I yelled, pushing him back. "I put my heart and soul into every little thing with you! I saw a future with you Kelton! Yet you can't even comprehend the amount of fucking pain you put me through. I don't know how to get it through to you that this is fucking it- I'm done. It hurts so much to know that you were with her that same god damn way you were with me!"

My voice cracked as I screamed at him, and my heart broke as I saw his eyes went dark. He blinked away some tears before looking back at me.

"I never meant for any of this to happen this way baby. I wanted that future with you too- I wanted us. I wanted you."

Kelton grabbed ahold of my hand again and pulled me close.

"I only want you. I only ever wanted you, Ellie."

I almost believed him. I almost let his twisted, toxic words seduce me into coming back to him... but the image of him with another girl was forever glued into my head. I felt disgusted knowing that the same hands that touched her, touched me. That the same lips he kissed me with, kissed her too. It made me sick to my stomach.

"Don't touch me." I whispered, wiping my tears away as I stepped back from him. "Don't talk to me ever again, Kelton."

I didn't look back as I walked away. I didn't look back as he called after me, begging for me to come back and let him explain.

I stormed out of his apartment building and ran out into the street. It was dark but I knew Toni's car was just around the corner. I only made it about half way down the street when I heard the door slam shut and Kelton hurried after me.

I ran as fast as I could to Toni's car. He jumped a little when I bursted in and slammed the door shut behind me.

"Drive!" I screamed as I turned to see Kelton still running to the car. "Fucking drive, Toni!"

My brother slammed on the gas and took off down the street, leaving my now ex-boyfriend behind us... just as a dot in the rear view mirror.

I had been dating Kelton since we both were 13 and in middle school. We were awkward and confused but we ended up being together for nearly 3 years. Our three year anniversary was today- the same day that I found out he had been cheating on me for months with the same damn girl that he said was "just a friend."

"Do I need to hit him?" Toni said quietly as we pulled into our driveway. I shook my head and took a breath.

"Think of it this way, Ellie. You'll start your junior year off without his toxic, cheating ass-"

Toni let out a wince as I started to sob again. "Maybe I shouldn't have said that... But really, Ellie, you'll start off the year with a whole new start. And he'll start his year with a whole new face."

I shot him a look.

"If you hit him, you'll get suspended."

Toni shrugged and unbuckled his seat belt. "It'll be a great start to my senior year then."
