Your POV

Near the end of the movie I get a text from Adrian.

Adrian:
Hey babe

Y/n:
Hi

Adrian:
There's a party Friday night at Jack's house, you want to come with me?

Y/n:
I don't know, who else is going?

Adrian:
Well, Addison for sure, I don't know about anyone else

Y/n:
If Addison goes then I'll go

Adrian:
Yes! Ok see you then, love you

Y/n:
Love you too

I put the phone down and Haz speaks up, "Who was that?"

"Adrian, he asked if I want to go to a party at Jack's house this Friday." I answer and Tom sighs.

"You're not just going with him right?" Tom ask.

"Why does it matter? No, Addison's going too."

"Ok, and so are we." Tom says looking back at the movie.

"What?" Haz asks.

"We're going, Haz. We have nothing to do this Friday, and I don't trust Adrian."

"Uh, fine, only because I hate Adrian."

"Why do you guys hate him?" I ask, they have no reason to not like him.

"He was a jock in high school, broke almost every girl's heart." Tom begins, "and just because he liked you back doesn't mean he's a good guy."

I'm hurt at Tom's words, "Tom, that wasn't necessary."

"What? I'm just saying! You never had any luck with guys until he comes along and is 'super' into you. Now you're saying there's nothing off about that? He's just using you Y/n."

I turn to Tom, "so what if I haven't had any luck with guys? That doesn't mean he's fucking using me!"

"Y/n—" Haz tries to say but I interrupt him.

"No, I'm leaving, good for you Tom, you want to make me feel bad about myself? Well congrats to you." I stand up and open the front door.

"No Y/n that's not what I meant—" Tom says but I slam the door before he can finish. I need to go home and take a break.

This is how it almost always ends with Tom, he insults me enough to the point where I leave. He insists that he never meant to do any harm but he does, most of my insecurities have come from him making fun of me in high school.

I just don't understand what I did so wrong. I used to like him for years, but when he started to become really mean in high school I lost all those feelings. Maybe I was just being sensitive, or that's just how Tom is, but I let the things he said really get to my head.

Once I get back to my house I slip off my shoes and go straight to my bedroom. I just need to lay down and take a deep breath, today is Wednesday so I also need to start thinking about what I'm going to wear to the party on Friday. I'll just ask Addi when she gets home.
