I got out of the shower about half an hour ago and besides crying, I can't stop thinking about how they two cheated.

Sometimes it comes to my head... Do I deserve this? I mean, for cheating on Ivan with Nolan? Do I deserve to get cheated on? I've been such a good girlfriend with him. My mom loves him and his mom loves me too. Sometimes it's just so hard to know why do bad things happen to us.

Maybe bad things doesn't exist but they're just things that will help us mature?

I call bullshit.

I haven't talked to Stella nor Stas or Kels. I don't know if Nolan told them anything. What I do know is that I got along with his friends that much that I think is going to be awkward for us all to hang out. Or should I go back to my normal boring life that I had before meeting them? I don't know if I should isolate myself?

Should I tell Jack? I mean, we're not even friends. Like, we just talk, but sometimes he's nice to me without any reason. I don't want to play the bad guy here although I know I am not. But giving somebody else those news? That's Nicole's dirty work.

I wish none of this was happening to me right now. I get so confused to the point that I'm not sure if I should've never got mad at Nolan in the first place. But then... he abandoned me at the party to go to that bitch. I'm so upset.

A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts making me jump from my bed.

"Can I come in?" Stella says from the outside.

"Yeah." I say without moving from my spot.

She comes closer to my bed and sits on the edge.

"Your mom told me you guys weren't a thing anymore and I got why you haven't texted me in the past few days so I thought I should come by and maybe spend the night?" She smirks waving a bag full of snacks.





"So, I know you've told me that you didn't want to tell Jack but honestly I think you should." Stella puts on her sunglasses.

"Is it okay to burn on top of the peel?" I ask rubbing my arms.

"Don't change the topic." I can tell she rolls her eyes. "Just, tell Jack and let's enjoy the beach please." She pouts as she lies on top of the beach blanket.

I was about to do the same when I spot Johnson and Mike coming closer.

Life, what are you trying to tell me?

"Hey, we didn't know you were here." Johnson says as he and Mike approach us. "Long time no see, huh?" He giggles.

"Yeah, I've been taking some time alone actually..." I pause. "Guys, this is Stella, my bestfriend." I introduce.

"Hey." The guys say before introducing themselves.

"So, can we hang out with you guys?" Johnson asks.

"Yeah." I smile.

"So did you break up with Nolan?" Mike asks me taking me off guard.

Stella looks at me and smirks while sipping on her drink and continues to chat with Johnson.

"Yes. Well, I think we both did. It wasn't working though." I shrug.

"What happened?" Johnson turns to me. Shit.

"Well, he... kind of cheated." I grimace.

"Asshole." Stella snorts causing me to laugh a little.
