chapter 1

I have been dating my boyfriend…now my ex for a year and half. Never during those times did I think he would cheat on me, and that I would catch him in the act. It broke my heart to see him kissing my long time enemy, Stella Maris. What hurt most was that he knew how much she and I hated each other. I would tell him about how much I hated her, and he whispered sweet nothings into my ear and told me that he supported me? I was a fool to believe him, I felt tears forming and walked up to him.

Amellia: You son of a bitch

I said as I pulled him away from Stella

Mark: A-Amellia?? This is not what it looks like I swear

He was panicking, I could see in his eyes he was. Before we started dating, we've known each other for a while, so I know him. At least that's what I thought.

Amellia: We're over, douchebag

I said before turning to walk away as I gave a sharp look to Stella.

As I walked, I dialed Jude, my best friend.

"Hello?"

"Jude, I need you…"

"Mel? What happened? Where are you? I'll come get you."

"The school entrance"

"Alright, I'll be there in five." He said and I heard him start the engine.

I crouched down on the ground as I wait for Jude to arrive.

Tears were forming, and I could feel that all they wanted was to flow. Still I had to brace myself, noone can know that I cried.

"Mel?!?" I heard Jude's voice and the next second he was in front of me

"What's wrong Mel? Talk to me." he said as he made me look at him. For a second I think his eyes darkened, it could be my blurry vision failing me but who knows.

"Jude, he...he was-" I couldn't hold it anymore. Tears just fell down as Jude held me close to him.

"Shh... it'll be fine, Mel. It'll be fine" he comforted me while patting my back.

"He was kissing Stella" I said between sobs.

"..." he continued to pat me silently

" You want to go home?" I simply nodded, and he led me to his car and I sat in the passenger seat.

The ride home was silent, with Jude handing me a tissue now and then. I don't remember when I fell asleep.

JUDE POV

I was on the way to school to pickup Mel, my best friend and the love of my life. She was hurt, and it wasn't physically. And it was because of Mark, that bastard, I just knew it.

I reached the school entrance and saw Mel crouching. I called out to her as I made my way,and felt a string broke as I saw her tears, but I quickly regained my composure because as much as I wanted to run to Mark and beat the living day out of him, comforting Mel comes first.

Then I proposed going home and dropped her home. She fell asleep, must've been tired.

I carried her inside and Mrs. June saw us.

"What happened, dear?" she asked worried.

"Aunty, Mel's going through a breakup right now, and it's a nasty one. Please let me take care of her for now."

"Oh, is that so? I leave her in your care then". Then I placed her on the bed and walk out to the kitchen to prepare some food for when she walkes up.
