Nat POV

Great. Jessy. The one person I didn't want to see. "Nat right?" Jessy asked. "Yup," I replied, hesitantly. "Ah. You're the bitch who stole my guy?" She snapped. What the fuck?? "Um Excuse me? He isn't your guy, he hates you," I nastily replied. "Oh, Stop saying shit. He's mine, and always will be," She replied, turning around. I grabbed her arm, stopping her. "Look bitch, I'm only going to say this once. Back off. He may have been your boyfriend at one point, but that's history. He is mine, and only mine. If you even look at him again, I will personally beat the shit out of you. And I'm not joking," I snarled, then walked to class. God, that girl could make a girl scout kill someone!

The rest of the day was uneventful. At the end of the day, I saw Ben going to his car. I walked over to his car, and tapped his shoulder. He turned, and a grin appeared on his face. What a cute grin that was. "Hey boyfriend!" I said, giving him a hug. "Well if it isn't my sexy girlfriend," He said, smiling. I laughed, and started walking towards the passenger seat, but Ben stopped me by grabbing my hand. "I want to take you out tonight," He said, kissing the top of my head. "Oh really??" I teased him. "Mhmm. I'll pick you up at 5," He said. "Where are we going to go??" I asked curiously. "Oh you'll have to see,"He said, with a smirk. "Ughh you know this is killing me!" I groaned. "You'll see!" He said. "Fine," I mumbled. We climbed into his car, and he dropped me off home. "See you in a hour, babe," He said, once we got to my house. "See ya," I kissed his cheek, and got out.

Ben POV

I watched as Nat got in her house. Then I drove away, thinking of the events from past couple of days. I finally won over Nat. She was mine, and I was hers. Nothing could ruin that. That thought kept me smiling, as I parked at house, and got out of the car. But then I saw her. Jessy. She never will leave me alone, will she? She saw me, and started walking over in a way that makes most guys go weak at the knees. But I'm not that shallow. Anymore at least. "Hey Benn," She said, her fingers trailing my chest. I removed her hand then said, "Um... Hello, what are you doing??" "I heard you're dating Nat..." She said. I nodded. "Why would you date a whore like her, when you could be with me," She whined. "Look, Jessy," I started, "For one, you're the whore, not her. And I love her, we're history. So get out of my life," I walked away. But Jessy grabbed my hand, and smashed her lips to mine. Before I could move away, she took a picture. I moved my mouth," What the hell!?!" "Here's how it's going to go Benny boy. You either cheat on your girlfriend with me, or this picture is posted on facebook. Your choice," She said deviously, tossing her camera between her hands. What the fuck?!??! "I'll be nice and give you till tomorrow to figure out." I stormed out of the way, knowing if I heard her voice on more time she'd be murdered. And I'd be in jail. I walked in my house, and looked out the window. Jessy had left. Thank god! I sat down on the chair, in the living room. Then I realized something. I just cheated on my girlfriend. Shit.

Nat POV

I walked in, to an empty house. Same as usual. Mom picked Jenny up from after school club, and usually only came home around 7. I glanced at the clock, 4:03. Perfect, around an hour to get ready. I grabbed a granola bar, and ate it on my way upstairs. I looked in my closet, and then was so confused. What exactly do you where when you have no idea where you're going?? I sat on my bed and thought for a second. Ben was a sweet guy, extemely sweet. So, he wouldn't take me to some place like mcdonalds or such. So a casual, but pretty, dress would be my best bet. I searched through my closet, and pulled out a dress. It was hot pink, and strapless. It had a white ribbon in the middle, and the bottom had pleats. At the top, you could see a bit of white lace from the bottom. It was....perfect! I squealed, and put it on. It clung and hugged every inch of my body, like it was made for it. I got to work on my hair, putting some mousse in it, making the curls to-die-for. After ten minutes, I moved onto makeup. A line of black eyeliner, a dab of foundation, pinch of blush, and swipe of mascara, and I was ready. Ding-dong. Right om schedule! I grabbed my white heels, matching clutch, and headed downstairs. Looking in the peephole, I saw Ben holding a bouquet of flowers, and looking extremely nervous. I smiled, there's my boyfriend! And he looked extremely hott. He had on a white polo, with blue stripes, and dark jeans. His hair was messily styled. He looked up, and smiled. But it was the usual smile. It didn't meet his eyes. They were filled with worry. What's that about?? I'll ask him later, I reminded myself, as we walked down to the car. We drove away, and I asked, "Where are we going??" He flashed a brief smile and said, "A suprise, we'll be there in a couple minutes." He sounded....not the same. I took his hand, and rubbed it with my thumb. "Ben, are you okay? Don't even bother trying to lie to me." He then took a look in my eyes, then said, "Ok, I will explain right when we pull in here," motioning towards the right. I looked over there, and my jaw dropped. It was a huge green grassy area. On the side was a sandy trail, that lead to the lake. Wow, picture perfect. Ben found a parking spot, then grabbed my hand as we walked to the grassy area. We sat down, and I rest my my head on his shoulder. "Okk we're sitting down. Whats wrong??" I asked. He sighed, and put an arm around my shoulder. "Promise you won't get mad at me??" He asked, very shyly. "Okk," I said, and snuggled closer. "Ok... Well I'm just going to say it, right out. Jessy kissed me. But I didn't want her too, and it wasn't like I wanted to or anything," He mumbled. I pushed his arm off, and backed away. "What????" I almost screeched. People gave me a weird look, but I didn't give a care. My boyfriend, the guy I'm pretty sure I loved, just cheated on me. Why did I even bother?? "Baby, listen," He started, but I cut him off. "No you listen. You cheated on me, and I bet you want me to forgive you, right?? But you should know that I won't deal with that bullshit. You two kissed, and I bet you enjoyed it. We're over. I really don't want to even have to look at you, or talk to you. Good bye, have a nice life," I stormed off, before the tears came. I could see Ben staring at me, with his jaw on the floor. Wow, what a jerk! What was he expecting?? I say everything is okay, and he continues cheating on me?? Nope, I have some dignity. Just standing there, wow! I hated him. I knew this would happen, no matter what Ben said. I walked over to the other side of the lake, in hope to find a ride home. Maybe I'll call Abi for a ride. I was about to call her, when an unexpected voice said, "Nat?" I turned around, and saw Jake. Not who I would expect to be here, but oh well. He saw the tears running down my face, and ran over to me. He wrapped his arms, and rubbed my back. I just sobbed onto his shoulder. My boyfriend cheated on me. Jake put one arm around my shoulder then said, "Come on, I'll take you home." I leaned against his shoulder, and we walked towards his silver pick-up truck. We got in, and I glanced in the rearview mirror. I looked horrible, but that's not what I was paying attention to. Ben was talking to Jessy. Unbelievable, and I thought he loved me. I fell for him, and he let me fall, and now I'm in hell. I saw Jake noticing Ben in the rearview mirror, and started driving. "You want to go to Abi's" Jake asked. "No, it's okay, My house is better," I said, trying to smile. But that's impossible. "Nat, what happened?" Jake asked, concerned. "Ben cheated on me, with Jessy," I said, hating every word of it. I stared into the window, hoping Jake got my silent hint that I was not in the mood to talk. He did, and the rest of the ride home was silent. Around 20 minutes later, we arrived to my house. "Thanks Ben," I said opening the door, but he grabbed my arm. "Nat, Ben's crazy about you. Trust me, I would know. Don't let this get between you two," He said, his eyes boring into mine. I took a deep breath then said, "Look Ben.. I know he probably didn't mean it or whatever. But when you say you love someone, you don't kiss someone else. I know, crazy right?? But what's even more crazy, is that I actually thought I mite of loved him. Then he broke my heart. Guess life isn't fair, is it??" I got out of the car, and ran into my house. I locked the door behind me, letting the tears fall freely. I ran up the stairs, and flopped down on my bed. Curling up in a ball, I cried, over two things. One, Ben cheated on me. The guy who supposedly loved me, kissed another girl. And the second was that all of this made me realize how much I loved him, and nothing was going to change that.
