Matilda's POV

I lay staring at the ceiling, thinking about everything that had happened and how hurt I felt at this point when I heard a knock at my door then it slowly opened and revealed Cass and Belle.

"Hey, wow! You look like Black Death warmed up" Belle stated sitting on my bed as I pulled the doona over my head.

"Thanks" I mumbled bluntly into the pillow trying to hide my tears.

"Mattie, what's wrong?" Cassie climbed over me and leant again the wall which was now covered in pictures.

I sniffed into my pillow and burst into tears; I lost all my morals and blurted out every single detail.

I sat on the beach alone, my knees up at my chest shading me from the cold breeze. I turned to see Ric walking towards me. He looked uptight and he stood in front of me blocking the little sun there was.

"We need to talk" he said bluntly as I stood up letting the cold breeze hit me.

"Geez! Ric anyone would like your brak…" I trailed off.

"I'm sorry" he stammered

"But you said you loved me" I gulped tears in my eyes.

"Don't be so naive, Mattie! All I had to do is say a few sweet words and I'd get you in bed in an instant." He hissed

"So I was just another notch on your belt!" I screamed he looked at the ground then looked back at me "Belle was right about you all along" I spat quietly a tear rolling down my face then I turned on my heels and ran.

"Shh" Cassie said from one side of me, stroking my hair while I sobbed into Belle's chest on the opposite side.

"We'll get through this together, like we always do" Belle whispered into my ear.
