Maya's POV:
When I got out of Ethan's house I heard a loud bump like if he had hit something.

I closed my eyes and let the tears stream down my face.

I wipe away my tears and looked at the time and it was 5:40 pm now.

I made my way to Rachel's house which was like 7 houses away from mine.

Luckily for me, its not snowing anymore, its just really really cold.

I try to wipe my tears but I'm still crying, and the worst part is after I cry, it really looks like I cried. My eyes are red a little bit swollen and they are still glossy from the tears.

I'll say I had allergies.

I got to Rachel's house and rung the doorbell.

Mrs. Johnson opened the door and smiled at me.

"Hi sweetie." She smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Hi Mrs. Johnson." I said faking a smile since I felt pretty bad.

"Honey we've talked about this, you can call me Melissa." She said.

I giggled a lil bit.

"Okay." I said.

"Rachel is upstairs." She said. I nodded and thanked her.

I went upstairs and in the way I saw Rachel's older brother Jack.

"Hey Jack!" I said and he turned around.

"Hey Maya!" He smiled.

I managed to smile a little bit at him and then went to Rachel's room.

I knocked and I heard a come in.

I opened the door and Rachel was on her bed on her phone.

"Hey Rach." I said.

She looked away from her phone and looked at me.

"Hey Maya, what's wrong?" She asked and put her phone away and sat down.

Rachel is my bestest friend, sure Adelaine is too but I know Rachel ever since I was a baby, we've been best friends since then, so we know each other more than we know ourselves.

I sat down criss cross on her bed too in front of her.

I looked down at my hands.

"I just came from Ethan's house." I said looking down at my hands.

"What??" She asked and I nodded.

"Why??" She asked.

"He wanted to explain everything." I said.

"And what did he said?" She asked.

I explained her everything that happened.

She hugged me and I hugged her back.

After one minute we pulled away.

"Maya, you deserve so much better really, but come on don't be sad! We have to have fun on the party, don't let that get into your way and don't let a guy get to you!" She said. She is right, Rach is the kind of girl who will always try to be there for you, that's something we have in common, even if people treat us like shit sometimes, we still try to be there for them, and even if we are not feeling well, we still try to smile.
