"We.. should break up," I said.

"What?" Jace replies.

"I think.. we should.."

"Why?"

"Because.. I'm kind of.." my voice trails off. "done."

"Done with what?" he asks.

"Thanks for all of the things you done for me," I said." You helped me. I thank you."

"So.. you're leaving me?"

"Not like that. We.. we just need a break."

His frown turned into a smirk.

"You've fallen for me, have you?"

I look up. "What? No!"

He chuckled. "You have!"

I blush. "I am not, Jace!"

"We haven't had any major arguments. It only means one thing. Janice Crawford has fallen for the mighty Jace Rivers!" He said.

"I'm confident. I wanna try to do it with other guys," I admitted.

"Don't be a slut, Janice."

I hit him. "I'm not! You're the only guy I have ever slept with!"

"Fine," he said. "but watch, you're gonna be crawling back to me. I'm the best."

"We've only done it twice, Jace," I said, annoyed.

"Alright third times a charm, it has to be the best," he said.

He came up to me and kiss me passionately. He bit my bottom lip and I moaned.

"You're going to miss this," he says.

"I bet you, I won't," I said, confidently.

-------------------------

"I gotta admit, that was the best," I said. "not gonna lie."

"See, I told you I have the ways, babe."

I'm finally free.

---------------------

"Dad?" I said, closing the front door behind me.

I heard laughing coming from the kitchen.

I went towards the kitchen and saw my dad and a woman.

"Dad?" I said again.

He turned to me and said, "Oh hey, sweetie. How are you?"

"I'm doing fine," I said. "How about you? And who's this?"

He wrapped one arm around her waist.

He started, "This is my-"

I saw the ring on her left hand.

"No.." I said. "Dad... you can't."

She took out her hand. "I'm Polly. You must be, Janice?" She said.

I didn't shake her hand.

"Dad, you promised!" I yelled.

I felt betrayed, angry, and sad. Tears were flowing down.

"I'm sorry, sweetie-"

"You promise not to get married again! You said you loved Mom! Only mom! No one else can replace her!" I screamed.

"Janice, listen to me," he said, walking to me.

"No! I won't listen to you! You betrayed mom and I!"

"Please, Janice, listen to me. I can explain this."

"I told you I won't listen to what you have to say!" I yelled. "You lied to me! You went off to 'business trips' just to secretly meet and talk to this worthless bit-"

"Janice!" He yelled then slapped me.

Slapped me. My own dad, slapped me.

I touched my face and screamed, "I hate you!"

I ran upstairs and slammed my door as hard as I can.

I lay on my bed, thinking a bit and crying a lot.

I grabbed my phone and clicked on Addi's number.

"Hello?" She answered. She sounded drunk.

"Hey," I said. "Are you drunk?"

I sniffled.

"Are you crying?" she asks. "Maybe."

"Hey, um.. do you think I could.. maybe come live with you.. for a few days? Or months?" I asked.

I heard something dropped. "Hey! Don't touch that!"

"Yeah, sure. You'll come over?" She said.

"Yeah, be there in a bit."

I hung up and started packing.

A/N: SORRY THAT THIS PART WAS SO SHORT! I'LL MAKE THE NEXT ONE LONGER, I PROMISE!
