(Leah's POV)

"Hey , uuuh Leah." I heard a voice say behind me. I turned around in my seat to see Nylan Pooler. Quick description: six foot give or take an inch or two, blonde hair, green eyes, super nice to everyone, plays soccer and all the girls love him because he's from Australia and has an accent but you can tell the attention makes him uncomfortable. We have World History together and he's never said anything to me besides asking for notes.

"Oh hey."

"Umm I was wondering if you had a date for prom. If you didn't, I was wondering if you'd go with me. It's okay if you don't want to." He immediately looked down afterwards

"I don't have a date actually." I said wishing I was going with Carter. I don't want to go with anybody else but there's no point in staying in the house sobbing while watching Netflix and stuffing my face on the night of prom. Plus he's really nice. "I'd love to go with you." Okay I over exaggerated.

"Really?" He asked as if he didn't think he'd had a chance. This kid doesn't understand how many girls would have a heart attack if they were me right now.

"Yeah. Here's my number." I said sliding a piece of paper into his hand. He just stared at it in disbelief

"Uhh okay. Thanks I'm looking forward to it." He smiled.

"Good." And with that I turned around to focus on what was on the board

After class I walked into the hallway and heard Carter's stupid friends taking.

"I heard Carter is going to prom." Jeffrey said

"Please don't tell me he's going by himself when someone asked him." Devon said leaning his head against his locker

"Nope. Meghan is going with him. Speaking of Carter and Meghan , there they go now."

I turned my head to see them walking together. He was holding her books and my blood started to boil. I felt mad , sad, anxious, nauseous, jealous, and everything else possible.

I felt the tears falling but before anyone could notice I ran to the bathroom

"What are you doing Leah?" I thought to myself.

"Hey are you okay?" I look up to see Meghan

"Yeah I'm fine." I grabbed my things and left. On the way out I made eye contact with Carter and my chest tightened

I'm so glad the day was over. I just needed to go home and sleep.

When I got home I saw my parents sitting at the table with papers in front of them

"What's this?" I asked

"Divorce papers. Your dad and I think it's best that we split. He's thinking about moving back to Nevada." My mama said

"Why? Is this all because of the Carter thing? You two didn't start arguing until then. It's my fault you're getting a divorce isn't it? I quit dancing and everything went to hell after that." I started crying again. My dad tried to comfort me but I backed away

"Honey, it's not like that. I promise. There are things you don't know. We should have split a long time ago but we stayed for you." My dad said sitting down. He put his hand over his face and took a deep breath.

"Well What is it? What happened?" I asked

"Sweetie I don't think it's in your best interest to know." My mama said

"What can be worse than my parents getting a divorce? What can be worse than losing my boyfriend? What can be worse than hearing you two yell at each other all night raising my anxiety and depriving me of sleep? What could you two possibly have done that's worse than this? I'm not a child anymore so if you're splitting then fine but I want to know why."
