Temporary Fix

"I loved you."
" And yesterday you told me that nothing could change the way you felt about me."
"Yesterday I didn't know about her."
"No- no I won't let this cause me to lose you. I was drunk. It was a drunken mistake. Plus I thought we had broken up."
"We didn't break up. I would've made that very clear. But you should've fought harder with yourself and your self control."
"That's not fair!"
"It isn't? Is it fair that you thought of me as a game and something fun to try and fuck? Is it fair that I actually fell in love with you because that's what I thought this was-"
"That is what this is."
"Was it fair that I've been in love with you since high school like every other girl in our school? And yet here we are... Just like all the rest. Is it fair that you shattered me? Is it fair that I trusted you and supported you and was there when all you wanted to do was fix yourself? To become a better you? No, Ryder. None of that is fair."

Sometimes it takes that special someone to make you realize who you want to be.

Eliza just wanted another normal school year. She wanted to make her junior year to be the best year yet, but what she wasn't expecting was for things to go the way they went.

Ryder was excited to start at a different school as far away from home as possible (and still be in state). He was going to hang out with his best friend, get high and drunk, and pass all his classes with Cs. But he didn't think some girl from his class would completely and utterly mess with his brain.
