Vahni POV:

As I enter the house, I don't even bother to take off my shoes. I just run straight to my bedroom, slamming the door shut behind me. I collapse onto my bed, burying my face in my pillow as I let out a sob.

The tears come pouring out, hot and bitter, as I cry my heart out. I feel like I've been shattered into a million pieces, like my whole world has been turned upside down. The pain is overwhelming, a heavy weight that's crushing me.

I think about Vihaan's words, about how he said I was a slut and that I shouldn't care about one kiss. I think about how he dismissed my feelings, how he made me feel like I was nothing.

The hurt and anger swirl together inside me, making me feel sick to my stomach. I cry and cry, unable to stop, as the emotions pour out of me like a dam breaking.

I feel like I'm drowning in my own tears, like I'm suffocating under the weight of my own emotions. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take.

As I cry, I feel like I'm reliving the entire conversation with Vihaan. I remember the way he looked at me, the way he spoke to me. I remember the way he made me feel - small, insignificant, and worthless.

The memories are like a fresh wound, cutting deep and hurting even more. I cry and cry, unable to stop, as the pain and hurt wash over me.

As the tears finally begin to subside, I'm left feeling drained and exhausted. I lie on my bed, staring blankly at the ceiling as I try to process everything that's happened.

I feel like I'm in a daze, like I'm living in a nightmare that I can't wake up from. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through this, how I'm going to face Vihaan again.

As I lie on my bed, feeling drained and exhausted, I hear a soft knock at the door. I assume it's my mom, but to my surprise, it's Veer and Anisha.

They enter my room, looking concerned and worried. "Vahni, we're so sorry," Anisha says, rushing over to hug me. "Aryaan told us everything."

Veer nods in agreement. "We had no idea Vihaan would say something like that," he says, his voice filled with anger. "He's such a jerk."

I feel a lump form in my throat as I look at my friends. I'm grateful for their support, but I'm still feeling raw and hurt.

"What am I going to do?" I ask, feeling helpless. "I don't know how to face him again."

Anisha and Veer exchange a look, and then Anisha speaks up. "You don't have to face him again," she says. "We'll be there for you, no matter what."

Veer nods in agreement. "Yeah, we've got your back," he says. "Vihaan's not worth your tears, Vahni."

I break down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably as Anisha and Veer try to comfort me. They hold me, stroke my hair, and whisper words of encouragement, but I'm beyond consolation.

My heart feels like it's breaking for the nth time over the same guy. I thought I was over Vihaan, but his words have ripped open old wounds and poured salt into them.

Veer's face darkens with anger as he watches me cry. "I'll deal with him," he growls, his fists clenched. "I'll make sure he pays for what he's done to you."

But Anisha grabs his arm, holding him back. "No, Veer, don't," she says, her voice firm. "That's not going to solve anything. It'll just make things worse."

Veer's face twists with frustration, but he eventually nods, taking a deep breath to calm himself down. Anisha turns to me, her eyes filled with compassion.

"We're here for you, Vahni," she says, her voice soft. "We'll get through this together."

Anisha takes my hand, her eyes filled with reassurance. "Vahni, listen to me," she says, her voice soft but firm. "You don't have to worry about seeing Vihaan again. He's leaving tomorrow, remember? He's going to another city for college."

I nod, feeling a small sense of relief. I had forgotten that Vihaan was leaving soon.

"And you know what?" Anisha continues, a small smile on her face. "You're going to be leaving soon too. You got into med school, remember? You'll be going to another city, starting a new life. You'll never have to see Vihaan again."

I feel a wave of relief wash over me as I realize the truth of Anisha's words. I will be leaving soon, starting a new life in another city. I will never have to see Vihaan again, never have to deal with his hurtful words and actions.

I take a deep breath, feeling a sense of peace settle over me. Maybe, just maybe, I can finally move on from Vihaan and start a new chapter in my life.

[7 days later]:

I sit on Anisha's bed, surrounded by half-packed boxes and suitcases, as I stare blankly at the wall. It's been a week since the incident with Vihaan, and tomorrow I'll be leaving for college, starting a new chapter in my life.

The past week has been a nightmare, but I've been lucky to have my friends and family around me. Aryaan and Vikram even came to visit me a few days ago, before they left for college. Veer left two days ago, and now it's just me and Anisha.

Anisha is busy packing her own bags, as she'll be leaving for college next week. I watch her as she folds her clothes and puts them neatly into her suitcase.

As I look at Anisha, I feel a sense of determination wash over me. I realize that this is the end of my story with Vihaan. I will not let him bother me ever again.

I take a deep breath, feeling a sense of closure wash over me. I am ready to move on, to start a new chapter in my life. And as I look at Anisha, I know that I'm not alone.
