"Vance... I can't do this!" You exclaimed.

Vance gave you a wide eyed expression as he looked down at you, interlocking his fingers with yours. "I promise Y/N. I won't break your heart." He said reassuringly.

"You can't break my heart if it was already broken." You spat as you diverted your attention to the ground.

"Hey..." He whispers as he lifts up your chin with 2 fingers to make your gaze reach his. "Trust me."

You want to trust him — you really do. But the thing is, trust doesn't come easy for you. Especially since the man you fell in love with betrayed your trust. Let's take a trip down memory lane... shall we?

About a year ago, you met the most charming guy — he played varsity football, was incredibly handsome, and had an excellent sense of humor. You guys really got along... so well that you thought he was the one. You trusted him and he trusted you. But like all good things, they aren't what they seem.

The whole time he had a girlfriend. All while he used to stand by your side, hang out with you after school, and always have your back. However, when you found out, he dumped her. This was an apparent red flag, but you were too blinded by love to see it.

Months past again and things seemed like they were going better than ever, but that's when your love story took a wrong turn. One day he stopped all contact with you, avoided you, and wasn't replying to your texts. Until the faithful day, you ran into him and confronted him.

It was that day your heart shattered into pieces. "I'm sorry, I have a girlfriend... we can't talk anymore" he said.

That was the day your trust had been broken. That entire time you were always the other girl and never his top priority. You didn't cry from this realization — no. Perhaps deep down you knew he would've never chosen you. But to protect your heart from further heartbreak, you decided to close it off. After all, you couldn't have your heart broken again if you didn't open it.

Tears picked your eyes and you quickly yanked your hands out of Vance's embrace. "You only fall in love once Vance!" You cried as he wrapped him arms around you. He stroked your hair and hummed to calm you down — and after a while it worked. "I'm sorry I can't-" You say as you run out of his grasp.

Let's take this from them beginning, shall we...?

To be continued.
