Bo's mother is all my fault. I cant handle all this pressure. I hate feling like this. I hate knowing I hurt somebody he loves. I texted him and told him we should meet, and now I'm waiting for him at the library. Where we first met. 

"Hey" he said as he saw me in the corner of the library where I always listen to music. "I took your advice and got some sleep last night". 

I just nod and swallow hard.

"Is everything okay?" he asks.

"Bo, I'm breaking up with you". Okay Megan. Rip it off like a bandaid.

"What? Why?" he asks, more concerned this time.

"I just dont feel were working out" I lie.

"What did I do?"

"Nothing. It's not you, it's me."

"Yeah, that's what every girl says when it's clearly the guys fault."

"No, I just dont see a future for us. I mean, you're only here on vacation, and you're leaving after summer. I just dont want to fall for you, and get my heart crushed". Its the truth, but not why I was breaking up with him.

"Whatever. Plently of other fish in the sea. You said the mall had whores right?" he say, getting up and leaving.

"Bo, look, we can still be-" I start.

"I gotta go check on my mom" he interrupts. I nod and he leaves. I walk to the pond, the situation replaying through my mind over and over again. It's like a song on repeat, but I cant change it. I sit there staring into the pond for a while, unaware of the tears streaming down my cheecks.

"Megan?" I hear someone say behind me, "Are you okay?"

"Yes" I say monotone.

"What's wrong?" they say.

"Nothing" I say.

"Megan" they walk to my side and turn my face to look at him. I see it's Matt. "What's wrong".

"I was hanging with a guy, and his mom had a heart attack when no one was around. She's in bad condition." I say as a tear slides down my cheeck.

"It's okay" he says.

"I resent myself and seeing him killed me".

"So what did you do?"

"I broke up with him."

"How did he react".

"He told me he was gonna look for whores at the mall." another tear streams my face.

"Oh, Megan" he hugs me. 

"I just need to get him off my mind." I breath.

"I can help with that" he smiles. He crashes his lips onto mine. 

"What are you doing?!" I yell.

"You just look so beautiful right now".

"Thanks, but I'm not a whore. I don't just kiss players."

"But you did kiss a guy that just went to look for whores right after you broke up".

"Yeah, but--"

"That's sounds like a player to me. You know, I've had a crush on you from so long".

"Really?"

"Yeah. You're just--" I didn't let him get any further. I crashed my lips to his. This is definatly going to get this off my mind. Bo made it so hard to break up. Like I was just an object to him. Like I was just another girl to  make out with. He had only been there for  a few weeks any way. Screw him. I could find another guy, just as quickly as he could find another girl.
