I looked up at him through tear soaked eyes as I watched his eyes turn cold.

"I don't love you," he said with so much firmness in his voice.

I searched his eyes looking for the Donny I once knew before he turned into a heartless jerk, but I didn't find him. Instead I found a cold heartless monster staring down at me.

"I never did," he stated.

I swallowed the lump in my throat. Begging the tears not to spill as I nodded my head and walked away from him with our future.

--------------------------

I, Aurora Avilla, was 2 years old when I first met Donny Hartfield. It was love at first sight. At least for me it was.

Growing up we were the best of friends. We'd do everything together considering our parents were good friends. We were inseparable. Silly me thinking we'd be "together forever". It all changed the day we started high school.

It also didnt help that I still liked him. It was half way through middle school when I realized I liked him. I'd always see him from my bedroom window as he shot hoops in his driveway and as he and his friends played x-box in his room that was exactly 10 feet away from mine.

But Donny never payed any attention to me. He would always look at me with disgust. I never knew why though. It didn't matter when he got a girlfriend in 9th grade, or when he lost his virginity in 10th. He would kiss girls in front of me and still I liked him.

It wasn't until the night of Haley Martin's 18th birthday party- one month after he broke up with Samantha- that he noticed me. One thing led to another and I woke up next to him naked. After that we'd hook up occasionally.

Two weeks before spring break he asked me out and I said yes. Little did I know it was all a front.

But I was a fighter- and it would ultimately be my downfall.
