My phone rings and I pick it up.
"Hello?" I sob.
"Jo? What's wrong?" Ezra asks.
"Come over," I cry.
Ezra shows up within 15 minutes and I let him in, and then I lock the door back.
"He cheated," I whisper.
"With?!" Ezra fumes.
"The art teacher," I say.
Ezra has the same look I do. Pain. Hurt.
"Asshole," he grits, grabbing his phone.
"How could you?!" he practically screams when Ricky answers.
"Let me explain," Ricky says.
"You broke Jo's heart, and you backstabbed me," Ezra says.
I grab the phone.
"Have a nice life," I say.
"Jo wait!"
I hang up before he can say anything else.
I lay down on the couch with my head in Ezra's lap, and I cry myself to sleep.
I wake up the next morning by Ezra shaking me.
"I'm staying home today," I whisper.
"Call me if you need me," Ezra says, kissing my forehead.
He leaves, and I sit there and stare.
I loved Ricky. More than Justin. I hadn't even known Ricky that long, and yet I was in love with him. He broke my heart.
I jump in the shower and get ready. I grab some food and make it to school in time for lunch. I have to face my problems sooner or later.
I eat lunch outside. I've ignored everyone's calls all day.
When lunch ends, I take a deep breath and brace myself for the rest of my classes.
I walk to last period emotionless. It's the only way to keep me from crying. I take my normal seat.
"Jo! Where were you?" Paige asks.
I don't speak.
"Are you mad at us?" Ali asks.
I keep quiet.
They don't say anything else.
"Go outside and play soccer. Josephine, stay here for a minute," Ricky says.
"No thanks," I make out.
"Excuse me?" he asks.
"I said no," I say, going outside.
Fuck it. I don't play soccer, I just walk the track and listen to my iPod.
I walk past Ricky and he gets in front of me.
"Move," I say coldly.
"Not till you let me explain," he fumes.
"Explain what? That you're a lying, backstabbing, cheating bitch?" I say.
"Fuck you," he says, walking away.
And at that moment, my whole world fell from under me. I fall to the ground in tears.
