Cheyenne
I stare, unable to take my eyes off the scene in front of me as I try to process what my boyfriend just said
“How exactly is being naked in bed with another girl not what it looks like?” My voice coh my stomach is a mess It’s dropped to my feet and I feel like I could throw up at any second
Please don’t let me throw up in front of them
I look at hiory can do is stare back This is the guy I’d stupidly allowed ainst ment since I know, I’ve always known you can never really depend on someone
Panic threatensto take me over My heart speeds up My chest hurts My vision starts to blur
No I cannot have a panic attack right now I haven’t had one in years and I refuse to let this bastard get the best ofnot to listen My hands curl, opening and closing into fists It’s like a flood of energy sent to every part ofme into overdrive
With everything inside ht to stamp it down
“Cheyenne, babyI’ory says
I shake my head back and forth, take a step back,He jumps out of bed Naked
“You know I love you It was so hard last year…” He’s reaching for his boxers, tugging them on while he talks and h school and I was here I just missed you so much, but this was the last tilances at her like he wants her to verify this fact, but she just scowls at hiory looks back at me “I screwed up, but you know you’re the only one I love”

“I’ unreasonable fordeal of a little mistake
“You’re a guy? That’s the worst excuse I’ve ever heard We were together all sue teeks already, and you’re still screwing her? Thatht have waited to see if I assumed this was the first time”
Gregory’s eyes stretch wide as he realizes his mistake Never admit more than you have to With his attorney parents, he should know that Jackass
My eyes sting, but there’s no way I’iving people the satisfaction of knowing how they affect o
Red stands and glares at , “I’m outta here”
“Wait,” I say, recognizing her “Didn’t you introduce o?”
