Rachel's P.O.V
I've been trying to contact Ray all weekend but he won't answer. I'll just see him today in school and see what's up with him.
At school
I was smiling until I saw Ray. He was wearing shades and he had his arm around this girl's waist, I don't want to jump to conclusions but...I approached them.
"Hey Ray." I greeted him
His mood changed
"Uh...hey." He twisted his lips
"Hi, I'm Nia, I'm new here and I'm Princeton's cousin." The girl he had his arm around said extending her arm
"Hi, I'm Rachel." I shook her hand
"How do you know Ray?" She asked
I'm confused he didn't tell her about me. Before I could reply Ray cut me off.
"We're friends." He said
Now I'm really confused, friends I thought we were more than that.
"Oh, well I have to go, nice meeting you." She kissed Ray's cheek
The fuck, now I'm pissed.
"Alright." Ray said
Once she was out of ear shot I was about to go off.
"What was that?" I asked furiously
"Exactly what it looks like, you and me are done." He said nonchalantly
"Wh...when did you make this decision, what did I do wrong." I was so confused
He looked at me like I was stupid.
"Wow." Was all he said
"Ray look me in my eyes and tell you don't care and that we're over." I said
He took a deep breath and looked down at me.
"Rachel I don't care we're over and I'm dating Nia now." He walked away then
That hit me hard I thought we were doing good and I thought he cared, wow. The bell rung, but I felt like crawling into a dark hole. I looked around and sighed, then I saw Princeton staring at me and I stared back. Great, he's probably happy he didn't like us being together anyway. I swallowed the lump in my throat and pushed my feeling aside.I had to make it trough the day, but seeing him with her isn't going to make it any easier.
Princeton's P.O.V
I saw what just happened with Ray and Rachel. I could see hurt and confusion in her face when she looked at me. I've never felt guilty about what I've been doing until a few months ago, I don't no what's wrong with me.She just walked off with her head down. Well, I can't do anything about it now, but I guess I can attempt to talk to her.
After school
I approached Rachel and she rolled her eyes.
"Please not today." She pleaded
"I just want to talk." I said calmly
"Princeton every time you say you want to talk I end up with new bruises." She looked up at me as if she was staring into my soul
"I promise this time it's real." I tried reaching out for her shoulder but she backed up
"I don't trust you I'm not going." She started walking off
I grabbed her arm, not roughly and turned her back around.
"Please." I begged
She looked back up at me studying my face. She saw that I was serious.
"F-fine." She sighed
We got into my car and drove to my house. We walked in and sat down on my couch.
"Why did you need to talk to me?" She blurted out
"Um...well I." This was hard she was looking at me with concern
Her big brown eyes were shimmering it made me melt inside.
"That thing with Ray must be tuff ummm...do you want to talk about." My voice a little shaky
Rachel's P.O.V
Did he really just ask me that? Did he want to talk to me to rub it in?
"Do you just want to rub it, huh?" I exclaimed not caring what he would do
He raised his hands up and I flinched only for him to put his hands up in surrender, I was surprised. Was he actually telling the truth.
"No I'm not trying to rub it in, and I wasn't going to hit you I told you I just wanted to talk," he assured me "but you didn't answer my question, do you want to talk about?" He asked me again
I sighed why does he care all of a sudden. Is he trying to fool me or something this is all new to me, this is a side of him I've never seen before. A tear streamed down my face thinking of Ray and Nia together and if she's better than me... Ugh it's eating me alive. The truth is I'm just insecure.
"I'm more insecure than ever Princeton, he broke up with me for no reason at all." I buried my head in my hands, I can't believe I'm saying this to him right now.
"Is it because she's prettier than me, I just don't get it." I told him as I started to cry even more
Princeton rubbed my back.
"D-did I make you insecure Rachel." He gulped rubbing the back of his neck
"Yes, I haven't gone swimming in 3 years and I barely wear clothing that exposes my skin," I told him " I'm ashamed of my body." I said
He pulled me into a hug and I cried into his chest. I didn't care if he would do something to me afterwards or use what I just said to his advantage, it just felt good to relieve some of this stress. I can't believe he's being so nice to me right now.
"I'm sorry I did all this to you." He mumbled
We both tensed up.
TBC...

Questions:
Do you think the way Ray told Rachel they were over was pretty harsh?
Who do you think will have Rachel in the end?
Y'all better buckle up because in about the next few chapters it's going to start to get bumpy.
