I wake up to the sound of my alarm on my phone going off and I groan as I realize it's Monday. I put the pillow over my head to drown out the sound to find that it doesn't actually work, so I decide to just get up. I walk in my bathroom and turn the water, more to the cold side because I'm weird and like cold showers.

¨Rilee Jacobs!¨ I hear my dad's booming voice from the shower.

¨What dad?¨ I yell back move the shower curtain slightly so he can hear me. 

¨You know it's 7:45 right?¨ He asks opening the bathroom door. My eyes widen. 

¨What?!?¨ I yell grabbing the towel and drying myself off quickly and put my jeans with the holes in them, and my adidas shirt, along with my white and black adidas shoes. I straighten my long brown hair and put my gold earrings in. I apply eyeliner to the bottom part of my bright green eyes, and I apply mascara. 

I grab my purse, my keys, and my phone as I go back downstairs grabbing an apple and planting a kiss on my dad's cheek before running out to my car. I start my car feeling pressured to get there in 10 minutes. I back out of my driveway, and I speed off towards the school. 

I pulled in and found a spot, just as Jack pulled in beside me. I checked the clock and realized I was there on time, and so I got out and met Jack in front of my car, he had a sad, worried face on. 

¨Uh, Ri, can we talk?¨ He asked scratching the back of his neck. 

My smile instantly drop and so did my stomach. ¨Uh yeah, Jack?¨ I questioned furrowing my eyebrows. 

¨Uh, I do-don't think this is working out, and we need to b-break up.¨ He uttered so low I could barely hear him. 

Yup, my heart sank.. What'd I do, why is he doing this, did I do something wrong? The thoughts rushed through my head as I tried to find something to say.  My eyes teared up and I looked down. 

¨Did I do something?¨ I questioned holding back the tears. 

His eyes hung low. ¨No.¨ he replied slowly, ¨We just aren't good together. This isn't your fault, this is mine.¨

I could literally feel my heart breaking and I just stood there looking at my feet trying to find the right words to say, but I just couldn't think of anything. 

Finally, he spoke up and said something.. 

¨You will be okay.¨ He said blankly, showing no emotion in his eyes.

¨Why do you think I will? I HAVE never been okay, not until you.¨ I continued to hold the tears  back because I didn't want him to see my cry.

¨Because you are Rilee Jacobs, you can accomplish anything...¨ He trailed off as he walked away leaving me there, and with that, the tears started to fall. Why did I let him get to me? Why did I let him hurt me, yet again, and mostly why didn't I fight back?
