Chapter Count : Three, " Keep Your Heart Warm ".
Time Stamp : 2.30pm, Monday, October 21, 2019.
Point of View : Tiger, in her Car.

     I watch as he steps towards the front door of the house, my
     heart heavy as I put my car into reverse. My shoulders were
     slumped as the wheels of the car begin to slowly roll back
     towards the paved street, guiding themselves out of the stra-
     ight-pathed driveway.

     Breathing out softly, I shut my eyes tight momentarily as I
     put the car into drive, "I'm an idiot." My body begins to fall
     into autopilot, self-driving back to my home as my mind runs
     seven-miles-per-minute.

     He really just did that. Why did I let him do that to me?

     I know I should have just told him his assumptions were not
     in the right, but I just couldn't speak a word to him. The look
     in his eyes as he made up the story-line in his brain, it was all
     too much for my heart.

     Disappointment sets in full-force. All these movies I've seen,
     all these books I've read, I've always said that I wouldn't be
     the typical girl to shut down in an argument; I wouldn't be th-
     e one to sit there and be blamed for something I didn't do. I
     can't believe I actually thought I was better than this.

     "I'm not cheating on you, Jack. I, in the past four months of
us dating, haven't even looked at someone else in that light.
I have too much respect for you, as a person, and our relati-
onship to do anything like that to you," The words I should
have said ten minutes ago to the enraged and screaming boy
spill out of my dry lips, following a shaking breath.

     I grit my teeth slightly, trying to stop my urge to cry from
     washing over my being. My eyes focusing on the, surprisin-
     gly, emptied main road as I try to figure out whereabouts I
     am in relation to my house. The corners of my eyes begin to
     sting, causing rapid blinking to beginning as frustration bub-
     bles up into my chest.

     "Don't cry, Tiger, don't cry," I try to console myself, more
     than likely looking insane to anyone who may see me, "If
     you start crying, you're just proving you have something to
     be guilty about." Searching deep in my brain for my rational
     thoughts, I come up empty; the only thing consuming my
     mind and heart are the painstaking feelings of inferiority and
     mistakes.

     I have to make things better with him, I have to. If I lose him,
     I lose everyone else. They were all his friends first, they all
     prefer him over me. If it comes down to it, they'll all ditch
     me with one look.

     I won't be alone, I have Travis. I'll just cling to him and I'll
     be okay, I don't need any of them. Everything will be okay if
     I just don't mess things up more and make him mad at me
     too.
