"so, lexie who is your enemy?" ryan asked.

"probably like that girl riley." she said.

"oh my god the girl who pushed you down the stairs?!" i asked.

"yep." she said.

"dylan, who's yours?" ryan asked.

"probably my 'ex' girlfriend." dylan joked.

"oh shut up." i said, playfully shoving him.

"so, liv? who's your worst enemy?" ryan asked.

"i don't know." i said.

a little after hanging out, lexie asked me to walk her home. we walked side my side slowly.

"you know how i told you someone will find out your secret?" she asked.

"yeah." i said.

"i know you dated shay." she said.

"really?"

"yep."

"and i know dylan's."

"what is it?"

"he gaslighted you into everything. isn't that clear?"

"what?"

"maybe you're not ready to hear that yet. but it's true."

and that's when i realized that honestly, dylan is my enemy. he has been driving me away from the person i love most. i didn't know i could get any further than 2,875 miles. but sometimes you just gotta love your enemies.
