Hey everyone, this is a sequel, so don't read until you've read Teardrops on My Guitar.
Oh, and I own nothing but the new stuff.
"Did you hear what happened at Kira's Halloween party?" I heard someone whisper a few seats down as class ended. The sound of Kira's name still made me anger. I still hadn't forgiven her for chopping my hair off at the beginning of the semester.
"No, what?" Another girl replied.
"She hooked up with Reid Garwin!" The voice practically shouted with excitement. My stomach felt as thought it was dropped from a high height. She couldn't be right… Reid would never do that to me… He loved me… Didn't he?
"Doesn't he have a girlfriend?" the second girl asked.
"Probably not anymore." The first girl chuckled. I'd heard enough and jumped to my feet, grabbing my backpack. I shot a furious glare at the speaker and stormed from the classroom. As soon as I was in the hall I yanked my phone out of my pocket and hit the number one. It rang twice.
"Hey baby." His voice purred to me when he answered. I instantly felt better, what had I been thinking, he would never cheat on me, but the nagging voice of that horrible girl played over and over again in the back of my mind.
"Hey, I heard some stupid rumor today and it kind of upset me." I told him.
"Aw, babe, what was it?" He asked.
"Some girl said you hooked up with Kira at that party you and Tyler went to." I whispered. "I told you it was stupid."
"Ann…" Reid whispered guiltily. With his next words, he ripped out my heart and stomped on it a couple of times just to make sure it was good and broken. "I'm so sorry."
I couldn't breathe, I couldn't speak.
"Ann?" Reid asked, probably wondering if I was still there. The sound of his voice, once soothing now made me sick. Wordlessly I hung up on him. Tears stung my eyes, but I blinked them back, it wasn't the place. Breathing deeply I began to walk, I wouldn't look back, I couldn't look back. Tonight, alone in my room, I would cry, but not now. Now I needed to be strong, I wouldn't let them see me fall.
