"I can explain!"

In one of the rooms in Casey's house, your boyfriend Raymond was caught half-naked in bed with Dahlia, your classmate. You thought the high school reunion would be a great diversion from stress, but not anymore.

"Sure you can, but I won't listen." you said through grit teeth as you stepped out of the bedroom they were in.

I've had it. I'm leaving.

You stomped down the stairs and decided you would slip out unnoticed because what could be more awkward than telling everyone you're leaving because your boyfriend cheated on you with your high school classmate? And so you slipped out the door while everyone was busy, and you escaped the notice of all but one man.

He quietly followed you out and caught your shoulder. You flinched and turned back.

"Matthew! What's up?" you exhaled in relief upon seeing the familiar face with a blond mop of hair and blue eyes that you had only reunited with a couple hours back.

Matthew was your longtime crush in high school who you never confessed to. He was also one among your close friends back then.

"I should be asking you that." he said, brows furrowed with worry, "What happened? You're leaving so soon and without your boyfriend?"

You grit your teeth again. "I have no boyfriend anymore."

"What?" he looked at you, eyes wide, "What are you talking about?"

"He cheated on me with Dahlia." you said, feeling a lump choke your throat.

Matthew gulped harshly, unable to believe what he just heard. Although he had met Raymond only that evening, it seemed as though he really liked you.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked gently.

You nodded, sighing.

"Hold on, let's see if we can find a place to sit down." he looked around at the front yard of Casey's house, and soon realised that there was no place anywhere for a private conversation, "This isn't a good place to talk. Come with me."

He moved towards his car, but you stood stuck in your place, staring at Raymond's car with feelings of anger and sadness. You pulled out your house keys and moved towards it.

Matthew, immediately understanding what you were going to do, ran to you and grabbed your hand. "Please think more rationally." he urged, "I know you're angry with him, but please, it's not right to damage other people's property."

You paused and stared at the car, now remembering the good times you had spent with Raymond in it. Your eyes welled with tears and you pulled your hand away as you clicked your tongue.

Matthew immediately searched his pockets and brought out a parking fine and a pen. He gave it to you. "Instead of scratching his car, write on this and stick it under the wiper."

You did as told. You wrote, "You asshole!" in big, bold and letters and added underneath, "Don't call me, don't text me, don't come after me. I don't know who you are anymore."

After you placed it under the wiper, you followed Matthew to his car. He drove off and brought you to a park.

After he had you sit down on a bench and bought coffee for both of you, he sat down to listen to you rant. By this time, your silent thought brought out all your complaints.
