*Rachel's POV*

"Hey babe, Ima be right back." He told me before standing up from our table.

I nodded my head in response. "Okay. Just hurry back, the slow dance should be starting soon." I reminded him.

"Do I ever disappoint you?" He asked in a teasingly manner.

I rolled my eyes playfully. He bent down and placed a kiss on my lips before walking away.

I let out a sigh and slouched in my chair.

Tonight's the 8th grade Valentine's Day dance and I came with my boyfriend, West.

We've been together since 5th grade and we were best friends way before then.

Yes, I know..... Two 5th graders dating? Too young? Well we didn't care. We fell in love, so here we are.

I continued to think until I felt someone shake my shoulder.

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at the person who decided to bother me.

I sent a smile to them when I realized who it was. It was my best friend Lily.

"Hey! How's the dance?" I asked cheerfully.

My smile faded when I noticed she wasn't smiling. Her lips formed into a frown and her fists were clenched in anger.

"What's wrong?" I questioned.

"West...." She spoke through gritted teeth. I sent her a knowing look saying; "he wouldn't".

She gave me a sad look and grabbed my arm, leading me in a random direction.

We pushed through the crowd and left the gym, going out into the hallway.

"What happened? Where are you taking me? What did West do? He wouldn't do that would he?" I bombarded her with questions.

"Will you just shut up for a second?" She snapped, making me shut my mouth.

I nodded my head and stayed quiet until we got to the end of the hallway. We went around the corner and I froze in my steps.

My stomach dropped at the thought. It felt as if someone stabbed me multiple times and then poured hand sanitizer on it.

I just wanted to go die in a whole. It felt like my heart got ripped out of my chest and got stomped on.

Tears formed in my eyes and I began feeling a huge lump in my throat.

"W-Weston?" I stuttered. My voice cracked at the end and I began shaking in anger and sadness.

He quickly pulled away from the girl and his head snapped in my direction.

His face was hard and his expression was emotionless. I didn't see any regret or guilt which made me even more angrier.

I clenched my fists and stared at him in disbelief. "W-what the hell?" My voice trembled as I tried my hardest not to break down.

"This isn't the first time you've done this, isn't it?" My voice wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be.

He didn't respond so I just assumed my assumptions were correct.
