"So, what's wrong?" Rae asked.

I shake my head.

"Nothing is wrong." I try to fake smile.

"Girl if nothing was wrong, you wouldn't be in front of me with tear stains all up on your face, and your eyes wouldn't be all red and poofy!"

I let out a long sigh.

I don't really feel like talking to anyone right now, I don't even know if I can trust Rae yet.

"Um- it's just that..." I trail off.

I can trust Rae, she is the only person who's noticed I've been gone and I've been in this bathroom crying for a good twenty minutes!

"Is it about your sister?" Rae asked concerned.

I shake my head no.

"No, this has nothing to do with Rain."

"Something to do with...Lani?" Rae asked.

I shake my head no again.

"LaMelo?" Rae asked.

Once she mentions his name  I hesitate before shaking my head no.

"You're a bad liar, it's something to do with LaMelo."

I sigh again.

"Okay, yes. It has to do with Lamelo and um- Ashley."

"Ashley as in his ex Ashley?"

I nod my head.

"What about Trashley?" Rae asked.

"She's been sending me stuff in my direct messages on Instagram."

"Stuff like what?" Rae asked, I can hear the worry in her voice.

"Like, pictures of them together...video's, messages that he's sent her."

"Can I see the stuff she is sending?"

I nod my head and I grab my phone showing the messages to Rae.

Rae looks over the messages but then she stops.

"Sis, you do realize that these are old pictures of them together, right? Don't let her scare you with the stupid childish stuff."

I nod my head.

"Just keep on- keep on scrolling!"

"Okay," Rae says unsure. "All I see is LaMelo with his hair- which he cut so these can't be-"

Rae scrolls down more and that's when she sees the picture.

"Recent..." Rae says.

I look down at the floor.

"You can't tell me that that isn't LaMelo and Ashley...kissing." I say my voice cracking once I say the word 'kissing'.

Rae stays silent.

"And... He has his haircut,that means these were taken while we were together."

"Woah- were?" Rae asked in shock. "You-you broke up with him?"

I shake my head no.

"No, not yet..."
