I stare wide-eyed at my boyfriend in shock as a whole new side of him is brought to light.

"I'm the one acting crazy?" I shout in disbelief, "you're the one stalking me because you don't trust me!"

I've never seen this side of Daniel before. He's become very possessive of me, and a fire is lit behind his once cool blue eyes. He paces the living room we share in our cramped but cozy one bedroom one bathroom apartment.

"Well maybe I'd trust you if you weren't throwing yourself at other guys!" He shouts back.

"Other guys? Who, Jack and Corbyn? Come on, you know that we are just friends! Besides, they would never do that to you. I would never do that to you," tears prickle my eyes as the last words come out.

I refuse to be that couple. That couple that at each other's throats. I refuse to be my parents.

"You know what, I'm staying at Gabbie's," I tell him quietly, not even able to look him in the eyes as I turn around and walk to the room we share.

I'm thankful that he doesn't try to get another word in as I stuff my clothes and toothbrush into my bag because right now I just don't want to hear it.

How could he not trust me? Maybe I shouldn't have told him about my past relationship. I ended up cheating on my ex with another guy, and I realize that it's wrong. We all make mistakes, and I never want to hurt anyone the way I did my ex.

Slipping on a hoodie and sliding on my vans, I grab my bag and my keys and walk right past him to the door.

"Love you," his voice cracks as he looks down at the floor.

Too hurt to speak, I walk out the door and close it behind me. I make it to my truck in the parking lot and throw my bag in the passenger seat. I close the door, leaving me in the silent air of the truck.

Pulling out my phone, I send a text to Gabbie.

Can I come over? Fight with D.

I set my phone down in the cup holder to my right and lean on my steering wheel, tears pouring out of me like a fountain. My eyes look up at the moon for a feeling of reassurance and safety.

My phone buzzes with a response from Gabbie.

Of course. I'm kicking J out, girls night. <3

Wiping the tears with the large sleeves of my hoodie, my fingers type a response telling her that I'll be at her place in 10. My hand pulls the gear to reverse and I back out of my parking spot, whipping out of the parking lot.

The whole lonely drive to Gabbie's I just think about how this could be the end of potentially the most amazing thing that's happened to me. Dating Daniel is so much more than being in a romantic relationship, he's my best friend. I always know I have a shoulder to lean on, and that I can always count on him.

I almost turn around, but then I remember the hurtful things he said to me. My foot pounds the gas pedal, whizzing through the beachside neighborhood that Gabbie resides in. Finally, I pull into her driveway and lift up the emergency break before grabbing my duffel and walking up to the door.

The door opens just a few seconds after knocking and immediately she wraps her arms around my shoulders tightly. The tears I had just gotten to dry once again form and fall onto her thin zip up sweatshirt.
