SELF-SABOTAGE | Chapter 17: Lovebirds

(Buckle up everyone this one is a big one)

(Y/n) sat on her bed in silence as she stared at her last text conversation with Yeonjun asking if she and soobin could pick up some drinks for the movie night tonight. The movie night she was contemplating flaking out on until he texted her before she would even do anything to attempt to get out of it. Her eyes closed for a minute as she let out a heavy sigh.

What was there to even be scared of? Why was she so nervous about this? It was just a simple movie night between friends. It was an opportunity to become friends with Yeonjun and Soobin’s friend group. So why was she nervous about all of this? It’s nothing her and Soobin haven’t done before.

They have been selling this couple BS well so far, or at least, that’s what Beomgyu has been telling her. They checked off the basic couple things. Walking next to each other, holding hands, sitting next to each other every chance they got, leaning their heads on one of each other’s shoulders, hugging, and all that jazz. Yet, Yeonjun and Chaeyeon seemed to be able to tell something was off and it was driving (Y/n) insane. If Chaeyeon and Yeonjun knew something was off then Jaeyi must have noticed too, right?

A loud groan left (Y/n)’s mouth as she fell flat against her bed opening her eyes to stare at her bedroom ceiling.

Maybe her and Soobin needed to talk more about everything. Try and find a way to make this more comfortable for both of them, so it could seem natural.

Well, it wasn’t too bad for (Y/n) anymore at least. She grew somewhat used to her and Soobin’s actions. They hung out by themselves at least a few times after he found her in the planetarium but not too often. After that day, she decided that maybe Soobin wasn’t as much of an asshole as she originally thought. He was still insufferable but she could actually stand being around him for longer than a few hours now.

The girl kept her eyes trained on the ceiling for a good few more minutes before picking up her phone to check the time.

6:00 pm

The movie night at Yeonjun and Dino’s place started at 7 according to the text Yeonjun sent in the DDR chat earlier that day. It was mainly set at that time because Soobin and Taehyun had swim practice until 6:30, so that would give them time to head home and quickly get what they need then head over to the apartment.

(Y/n) boredly scrolled through her phone a bit but kept glancing at the time every few minutes.

If Soobin got done practice at 6:30 then when would they meet up to go to Yeonjun’s place? Didn’t they have to pick up drinks? Or was that for her to do alone? Maybe they were going to go separately to his place-

Wait, why was she thinking so hard about this?

“Ugh,” (Y/n) huffed out and forced herself to sit up on her bed once more. Her hand coming up and ruffling her hair in slight frustration from overthinking. Another sigh left her and she looked over to her overnight bag she packed in the corner of her room. She always packed one when she would head over to Yeonjun’s place as she always seemed too tired to go home by the time they were finished with whatever they were doing.

Her eyes slowly look over to the digital alarm clock by her bed:

6:10 pm

(Y/n) glanced back at her overnight bag then to her phone.

“Jesus Christ, I can’t believe I’m doing this..” she muttered to herself as she got up from her bed and walked over to grab her bag.

Soon enough, she was outside the HYBE University’s pool. Her bag over her should as she awkwardly leaned against the building, checking the time. It was about 6:25 meaning Soobin would be done practice soon. (Y/n) bit her lip as she looked back at the buildings entrance doors.

Maybe she should leave. This was stupid. Why was she even doing this?

The girl went back and forth for a bit before opening her messages between her and Soobin.

‘I’m outside.’

(Y/n) stared at the text for a good while before finally hitting send. Nervously staring at the screen as she waited for it to be read, regretting sending it with every second that passed.

She nervously felt her pulse pick up as she noticed the 3 chat bubble dots pop up; However, they disappeared as soon as they were seen.

‘Oh god, why did I even do this. This is weird. He is gonna find this weird and he is going to be a bitch and dog on me for this’ She mentally cursed at herself while shutting off her phone.

“Well, this is a nice surprise.”

Soobin’s voice nearly made her jump out of her skin.

(Y/n) quickly tore her eyes upwards to see Soobin walking towards her from the front entrance of the pool. He was in a HYBE University swim team jacket and some plain black sweat pants; His hair seemed to be slightly wet from either swimming or getting into the shower after practice. He walked up to her with his dimples on full display causing her to look away from his face quickly.

Why was he so happy to see her?

“How’d you know I had practice today?” He asked when finally in front of her. His small grin still on his face.

“Oh um, Yeonjun mentioned you and Taehyun had practice when we were talking about times for the movie night…” (Y/n) trailed off slightly when explaining. Gosh, when did she get this awkward? It’s almost like her and Soobin switched personalities.

Soobin just stared at her seemingly in an endearing way as she explained. His heart secretly singing at the fact she came by to pick him up after practice.

“And you decided to pick me up?” He asked, smile stuck to his face, as (Y/n) nodded finally looking up at him.

“Cute” he chuckled out.

(Y/n) nearly did a double take because of the comment but then looked around their surroundings to see the swim team still standing around and talking.

Right. They were in public.

(Y/n) gathered herself and threw a smile back at him. “Yeah, yeah. Whatever, you big goof.” She playfully punched his arm.

Soobin let out a small laugh as (Y/n) finally moved from her postion of leaning on the building, adjusting her bag on her shoulder.

Before (Y/n) could say anything else, Taehyun quickly ran up to the two of them.

“Soobin, you and (Y/n) are still going to Yeonjun’s tonight, right- oh hey,” the younger boy quickly caught himself as he saw the fake couple standing with each other. The two quickly looked over at Taehyun as he stood next to them.

“Uh…hi?” (Y/n) waved while Soobin rolled his eyes at the girl’s sudden stiffness.

“Yeah, we are. (Y/n) actually surprised me and came to pick me up. Isn’t that right, babe?” Soobin smiled while pulling the girl into a small side hug.

(Y/n) instantly falling into character and wrapping her arms around his waist and nodding with a smile. Noticing Soobin tense slightly from her suddenly falling back into their fake dynamic.

“Yup! I thought it would be nice to pick him up, then grab some drinks for the movie night, and head over.” She beamed towards Taehyun, pinching Soobin’s side secretly as if to tell him to chill the fuck out.

Soobin winced lightly and shot her a quick look before directing his attention back to Taehyun, who seemed to be analyzing them.

The younger boy slowly nodded with an eyebrow raised slightly in question.

“Okay…well, see you two later, I guess”, Taehyun hesitantly said before giving them one more glance and walking away.

The fake couple watched as he walked away and quickly untangled themselves from the hug. They both said nothing as they looked at each other silently agreeing that they needed to walk away from his teammates. Soobin being the first to interlock their fingers and start heading away from the building, (Y/n) stumbling slightly before following in suit.

Once they were far enough away, they finally both went to speak up.

“You need to chill the fuck out”

“Why the hell did you pinch me?”

Both (Y/n) and Soobin blurted out at the same time. The two stopping and looking at each other with slightly agitated expressions.

(Y/n) huffed and rolled her eyes, “I pinched you because you were tense! We can’t look awkward in front of your friends!” She explained while looking up at Soobin in frustration.

Soobin was quick to furrow his brows at the comment, “it was barely noticeable! You pinching me definitely made it seem more weird than me being slightly tense!”

The two stood there in a beat of silence, both with slightly annoyed expressions as they stared at each other.

(Y/n) was first to break eye contact and quickly looked away only to notice their hands still interlocked.

She quickly pulled her hand away from Soobin’s. Her cheeks burning slightly from the embarrassment of still holding his hand throughout an argument.

“Whatever, let’s just quickly grab what we need from the store and head over to Yeonjun’s.” She mumbled as she sped walked ahead.

Soobin stood there for a minute slightly confused but hurried after her.

(Y/n) could feel herself get more and more embarrassed by the second. Why was this so embarrassing? What was going on with her lately?

Stress. It was probably just stress.

After heading the to nearest store and grabbing what they needed, they were at Yeonjun’s apartment door.

Soobin glanced at (Y/n) before gently putting an arm around her, causing her to jump and look up at him with a confused look.

“We need to look like a couple, remember?” He said with a small smile seemly to try and calm her nerves.

The girl slowly nodded and shook herself out of the weird headspace she was in earlier.

She was really just getting in her head over these things. She needed to calm down. Soobin was even trying to be nice again and help her calm down. She just needed to get out of her own head.

(Y/n) let a breath out and looked at the door once more, “yeah, sorry.” She said softly and then knocked on the door.

A loud yell erupted from inside followed by a few sounds that seemed like people tripping over each other. It was then followed by a voice, that (Y/n) could only assume was Chae’s, yelling at whoever was causing the problem. Soobin and (Y/n) exchanged a confused look before the door swung open to reveal a heavily breathing, slightly disheveled, Beomgyu.

“Welcome, love birds!” He greeted them as a just as disheveled Yeonjun popped up from seemingly being knocked over on the floor.

“Hey! This is my place! What gives you the right to greet my guests like you own the place?!” The older male yelled while getting up and shoving Beomgyu away from the door before putting on a smile.

“Hey, Soob. Hey, (Y/n).”

The duo stared at him for a minute before Chaeyeon peeked her head over to the door from the inside of apartment.

“Please come in. We have only been here for a few minutes and I’m already about to lose my mind” Chaeyeon practically begged.

A small snort left (Y/n) as she grabbed Soobin’s arm and dragged him into the apartment past Yeonjun.

The apartment was much cleaner than the last time (Y/n) saw it which was a relief, but it was just as chaotic as usual. Maybe even more so, due to the addition of new people. Beomgyu was still seemingly about to jump Yeonjun for kicking him from greeting the couple. Kai and Hyojeong were busy in the corner seeming to be losing at a game of UNO against Taehyun. While Chaeyeon looked like a few years were taken off of her life span from dealing with everyone (minus Taehyun as he seemed to be the only other chill person there).

The large couch in the middle of the apartment had a few blankets thrown on there for everyone to use during them movie while the loveseat had a matching aesthetic. The coffee table held bowls of popcorn and candy, as well as a few waters seeing as (Y/n) and Soobin got the other drinks. It was a cute little set up.

(Y/n) just laughed slightly at everything going on and turned to Yeonjun, “Hey, Jun. where do you want us to put these?” She asked while holding up the bag of sodas and gesturing to the pack of hard lemonades that Yeonjun requested they pick up.

Jun turned his attention away from Beomgyu, who he currently putting in a headlock, to (Y/n) and Soobin.

“Oh, you can put those in the fridge for now. We can bring them out when pizza gets here and we start the movie.”

Soobin nods as he and (Y/n) quickly head to the kitchen and store the drinks away. Soobin watching as (Y/n) walks around the kitchen, grabbing paper plates from a cabinet, complaining about how Jun always forgets to bring plates out for when they order food.

A small smile crawls onto his face as she seems to be sorting out Yeonjun’s kitchen for him.

“What?”

(Y/n)’s voice snaps him back to reality.

“Nothing, just find it funny that you are cleaning Hyung’s kitchen for him.” He comments still smiling like an idiot.

(Y/n) rolls her eyes, “It’s not my fault him and Chan are practically slobs. I’m surprised it’s at least this clean. Usually it looks like a war zone in here. I’m always cleaning when I come over because Yeonjun doesn’t seem to understand the concept of cleaning.”

“Oh trust me, I know. I had to clean out his locker senior year because it was right next to mine and I couldn’t stand the avalanche of papers that would fall from his locker every time he opened it.” Soobin explained with a small laugh.

(Y/n) suddenly bursted out laughing,

“Oh my gosh! I remember that! You had to call the janitor over to help scrub the inside of his locker!”

Soobin couldn’t help but start laughing more as (Y/n) bursted our in laughter.

The both of them going back and forth with stupid stories they had with Yeonjun in high school until they were nearly crying from laughing. (Y/n) leaning on Soobin for support while clenching her stomach. The two enjoying the small moment of shared laughter with each other.

The shorter of the duo thinking to herself about how maybe it wouldn’t be too bad to have Soobin as a friend. Maybe she should give him the benefit of the doubt and they could become good friends.

(Y/n) was catching her breath from the last story Soobin told about Yeonjun nearly getting kicked out of the elementary school play when they were kids. Her body still nearly leaning against his from earlier.

After realizing how close they were, she was quick to try and back up.

“Sorry- oh!”

(Y/n) almost tumbled backwards due to tripping on the leg of a stool she didn’t notice.

“Woah!”, Soobin was quick to catch her and pull her back up.

“You good?” He asked still holding her by the waist to keep her steady.

She nods and goes to speak before Hyojeong bursts into the kitchen loudly. “Break it up, Barbie and Ken. You guys are disgusting…Beomgyu was right about the cheesy K-drama bullshit.” She snickers as the two pull away from each other quickly.

“Lu!” (Y/n) hisses out feeling her face burn slightly.

“Sorry! Sorry! Yeonjun wanted me to tell you, while you two were busy making out or whatever, that the pizza is here and we are going to start the movie soon.” The younger girl explained while hurrying to the fridge and grabbing the drinks that the duo bought earlier.

The seating arrangements for the night were simple. On the couch was Yeonjun, Taehyun, Chaeyeon, Beomgyu, Kai, and Lucy. Taehyun and Chaeyeon acting as a barrier between Gyu and Yeonjun in hopes of keeping the movie night on track. While Soobin and (Y/n) were, of course, banished to the loveseat.

Everyone was settled in their positions, some of them under the blankets Yeonjun provided, pizza was served on paper plates, the bowls of popcorn and candy near everyone, and everyone had their drink of choice.

Beomgyu had been the one to choose the movie after an extremely intense game of rock, paper, scissors.

And, to no one’s shock, he chose a rom-com; Staring Soobyn down evilly while making the decision. (Yeonjun also stared the two down just as connivingly as the choice was made).

(Y/n) and Soobin sat on the loveseat. Both sharing a blanket like any couple would. (Y/n)’s head resting on Soobin’s shoulder with his arm thrown around her.

The movie was cheesy to say the least. (Y/n) felt herself fighting off laughter at some stupid scenes and she could tell Soobin fighting off laughter as well.

The group on the couch next to them seemed to sneak glanced at them every now and then. By “the group”, that meant Yeonjun and Beomgyu. (Occasionally Chaeyeon)

The two watched (Y/n) and Soobin like a hawk. One in hopes of watching them fuck up slightly and suffer. The other wanting to see his Soobyn agenda in action.

Both (Y/n) and Soobin could feel their gazes. That alone was somewhat uncomfortable but it also meant they probably should amp up the act.

(Y/n) sighed and leaned close to Soobin’s ear, “They’re watching. What do we do?” She whispered not noticing Soobin tense at how close she was.

His brown eyes shifted over to hers and then glanced at the two males staring them down. He lets out a small sigh and purses his lips in contemplation.

“…I have a small idea but I don’t think you’ll like it much…”

That enough was to make the girl next to him raise a brow.

Soobin looked over at the screen then back at (Y/n), “do you trust me?”

“No.”

“(Y/n)-”

“I’m joking, I trust you…..but like not the type of trust that you won’t poison me the second you get the chance.” She snickered quietly as Soobin gave her a look that made her roll her eyes.

Soobin turned her attention back to the movie and (Y/n) stared at him waiting for whatever he was going to do but it didn’t happen. He just seemed to be watching the movie.

(Y/n) huffed slightly at the fact he got all serious for him only to go back to watching some trope filled movie. Soon enough, she started watching it again too.

A scene played showing the two leads getting into an argument over a stupid miscommunication.

“Look, babe. It’s like when you thought I pulled the chair out from under you in high school.” Soobin said aloud while pointing at the screen and turning his head to face (Y/n).

Not only did this catch (Y/n)’s attention but also everyone on the couch across from their’s attention.

“…what? Oh- oh that. Dude, listen, to be fair it was like my 2nd time meeting you after you were a butt to me the first time! What else was I supposed to think?” She replied in a playful manner but her eyes were practically staring daggers at Soobin as if to say ‘what the hell are you doing’ and also ‘I still hold that grudge no matter what you told me’

Soobin lets out a laugh and smiles at her, “it’s not my fault I got nervous! you were super pretty and smart even in high school.”

Okay, now that was an unexpected comment.

(Y/n) could feel her cheeks starting to blush at the sudden comment. Even if it was a fake one.

“Babe..” she warned.

“Sorry, sorry. It just reminded me of how we used to be.” Soobin’s dimples were fully showing now.

Suddenly, (Y/n) felt a pair of lips hit her cheek.

She froze for a second as if to process what happened, her eyes widening slightly.

Soobin just kissed her. Not her lips to be fair but kissed her none the less.

Snapping out of her shock, her face slightly still burning, she pushes his shoulder away in a joking manner. Letting out a hushed “Soobin!” as if she was embarrassed by the sudden affection (to be fair, she was to a certain degree).

The couple let out some giggles as if they were truly together and play fighting.

“Gag me with a spoon-”

“Tae!”

The two look over to see Yeonjun glaring at Taehyun, who looked like he was done with the situation.

Lucy and Chae were giggling slightly to each other before deciding to turn their attention back to the movie.

Kai gave them an all too awkward thumbs up while Beomgyu seemed to mouth the words ‘Boba’ the couple’s way.

Soobin let out a small laugh and turned his attention back to the movie and soon everyone else followed in suit.

Except (Y/n), who sat there in some relative shock due to the fact:

The kiss didn’t bother her much.

Summary: After (Y/n) breaks up with her ex, Do Jaeyi, she isn’t left alone by him. Finally after being bothered nonstop, she breaks and tells him she is dating her high school rival, Choi Soobin. Now they are left to keep up the act of being a couple till this all blows over. Little does (Y/n) know Soobin has been waiting for a chance like this.

[nomtterwhere]

Okay but what about... Marcos girlfriend (reader) is in the crowd with Noah and sees Elle and Marco kiss 😳 also forgive me I never send requests but like, nobody writes about Marco and I’m PISSED

it’s kind of long, sorry i got carried away!! but i hope you enjoy!

“i still cannot believe you managed to get me to come to this.” you said as you got into the passenger seat of marco’s car.

your boyfriend had been helping elle evans with her routine for an arcade game competition, meaning the two of you hadn’t been able to spend much time together. every free moment he had was spent practicing with her. he explained how all of these practices were because she really needed the money but something about her just didn’t sit right with you.

you hadn’t forgotten about that little stunt she pulled over the loudspeaker at the beginning of the year.

he only laughed slightly and leaned over to press a quick kiss to your lips.

“you don’t want to see your boyfriend kick ass out there today?” he raises an eyebrow as he backs out of your driveway.

“oh, i would love to see my boyfriend kick ass today.” you gave him a sweet smile. “just not with the girl who told the entire school she would fuck him.”

he nodded slowly. “fair enough.” he spared you a glance. “just, go easy on her, okay?”

you opened your mouth but closed it again when you saw the look on his face.

“please.” he said. “today is really important to her.”

you sighed, turning to the open window and letting the wind blow in your face. you closed your eyes, mentally preparing yourself for facing elle once again. you reminded yourself that after today, you would never have to deal with her again and reopened your eyes, meeting marco’s gaze.

“yeah, okay.”

he smiled at you, interlacing your fingers over the center console and pressing his lips to the back of your hand.

“thank you, mi amor.” he said, squeezing your hand in reassurance.

you looked at him, unable to hide the smile on your face at the nickname. he had refocused his attention on the road, which allowed you to gaze at him to your heart’s content.

it was truly unfair how gorgeous he was. his chiseled jawline, the perfect curls that were oh so soft when you ran your fingers through them, the soft brown eyes that reminded you how loved you were...god, you were whipped.

you watched as the ends of his lips curled upwards slightly and you knew you’d been caught.

“i can feel you staring at me, you know.” he said, the grin fully formed on his face now.

you rolled your eyes, turning away from him to face forward. “oh, shut up.”

he didn’t say anything in response but you knew he still had that smug smile on his face.

you made it a point to not look at him for the rest of the car ride, keeping your focus on your phone as he laughed at you.

you finally pulled up to the competition center, marveling at the building as you made your way through the parking lot. as soon as marco parked the car, you got out and started walking away, his laughter following behind you.

“are you really keeping this up?” he said through his laughter.

you stopped, waited a beat, and then turned around to see him leaning against the side of his car, arms crossed in front of his chest.

“nope.” you said with a smile. “just wanted to see if you would stop me.”

“then don’t leave me all alone over here.” he gave you a fake pout.

you walk over to him, his arms unfolding as you cane closer. as soon as you were in reach, he grabbed you by the waist and pulled you into him, bringing his mouth down to yours in a searing kiss.

you welcomed the familiar warm feeling that pooled in your stomach whenever marco kissed you. one your hands gripped his bicep while the other found it’s way to the back of his neck, caressing the curls there. he pulled you in tighter against him, your body molding into his perfectly.

the world always melted away when you kissed marco and this was no exception. his cologne overwhelmed your senses and the taste of mint always lingered on your tongue. you felt as if you could spend forever wrapped up in his arms, as if reality didn’t exist and you—

“oh, marco!” of course.

you pulled away from your boyfriend at elle’s greeting, your perfect little bubble popped.

marco squeezes your waist lightly before letting go, lowering his head to murmur quietly. “play nice.”

you exhaled before plastering on a smile and turning to see elle walking towards the two of you, a hanger with her ddr outfit tossed over her shoulder.

she grinned at the two of you. “sorry to interrupt, haha. just wanted to say hi.”

“hi.” you said, dryly.

marco nudged you with his elbow behind my back.

you tried again. “hey, how are you feeling?”

that sounded genuine, right?

it was good enough for elle since she gave you a big smile in return.

“nervous, but excited! thanks for letting me borrow marco for so long, hopefully we win.” she said.

“i already know we will.” marco said with a grin.

“so, marco.” she turned her attention to him. “we have to sign in, so...”

“oh, right!” he grabbed his own outfit from the back of his car. “you’ll be okay, right?” he says this to you.

you nod. “of course.” your phone rang in my pocket and you pulled it out, seeing that it’s rachel. “you guys go ahead and i’ll just find my seat.”

“okay.” marco kissed your forehead. “i’ll see you after.”

“hopefully by that time we’ll be ddm champions!” elle squeals.

“yeah, hopefully.” you say, raising both eyebrows at her, then remembered marco’s request to be nice. “good luck, you guys are gonna be great.”

“thank you.” marco mouthed over elle’s shoulder as she thanked you.

as they walked into the building you answered the phone.

“do i need to come over there?” was the first thing rachel said when you picked up.

you laughed. rachel had had her own problems with elle, considering before lee got “injured,” elle spent all of her time with him. so she understood the position you were in.

“no, i’m good so far. all i have to do is get through today and these past few weeks will all be behind me.”

“look at you miss sally sunshine. that certainly wasn’t the attitude you had last night.” you could hear the humored tone in her voice.

last night was supposed to be a date night for you and marco before he called you 30 minutes before the two of you were supposed to leave to let you know that elle had wanted to get one more practice in and that he wouldn’t be able to make it.

you were annoyed, to say the least. to say the most would be that you facetimed rachel and ranted to her angrily for almost an hour about how marco was driving you crazy with all the time he was spending with elle.

you shook yourself out of that memory.

“yes well, i was upset. is that not allowed anymore?” you questioned.

you heard her shuffling around on her end of the phone before she spoke again. “of course it’s allowed. and you know you can rant to me anytime.” there was a beat of silence. “you put a lot of trust in that boy.”

you sighed, looking back at the building you were supposed to go in and sit and watch your boyfriend dance with the girl that had essentially stolen him from you for six weeks.

“yeah, well. what choice did i have?”

“i just don’t want you to get hurt, y/n.” she said.

“i know.” you swallowed, trying not to let the thoughts that clouded your brain these past few weeks win. “look, i gotta go. i’ll see you tomorrow.”

“love you!”

“love you too, rach.” you hung up and then made your way into the building.

you quickly found a seat and settled in. you were in the aisle seat, sat next to an elderly woman who you could only assume was here to watch a grandchild.

she gave you a smile as you sat down, which you reciprocated as you turned your phone on silent.

the lights went down and the competition started. one by one, each duo went on and performed and you were blown away. these people were talented. how were elle and marco supposed to compete?

“up next, elle evans and marco peña.” the announcer said.

you applauded along with everyone else as they made their way onstage and took their places. you sat up straighter, this better have been worth all of those practices.

and you know what?

it was.

they were good. like, really good.

you watched as they flew through the steps, adding in tricks and flips and still managing to stay in sync. you couldn’t help but beam as you watched them and exploded into applause as the routine ended.

and then that moment ended.

because you watched as elle leaned up and kissed marco. and he kissed her back.

everyone else around you jumped onto their feet at the kiss, their cheers only getting louder. you stayed frozen in your seat as you felt your heart slowly shatter.

tears pricked at the corners of your eyes but you refused to let them fall. you wanted to be angry. you didn’t want to feel hurt.

but then the woman who was beside you leaned down and said, “don’t they make a beautiful couple?”

and the dam broke.

you swallowed. “yeah, they sure do.”

you got up and walked up the steps leading out of the room, forcing yourself not to look back as the tears streamed down your face.

you pulled out your phone and sent a text message to rachel.

please come pick me up.

you send her your location and walk out to the front doors to wait for her. just as you stepped outside, your phone buzzed with a reply.

on my way now. tell me everything when i get there.

you wiped your eyes as you stood waiting for her, which was no use considering tears were still falling from your eyes.

you had been outside for a few minutes before the door burst open and someone came out with you.

“oh thank god you’re still here.” marco.

“don’t.” you say, finally having reached a point where you calmed yourself down. but just hearing his voice was enough to get your eyes watering again.

“y/n, please. look, i know what it looks like, i do, but—”

you whipped your head around to face him and his heart sank when he saw your tear filled eyes and the destroyed look on your face.

“what it looks like? are you kidding me? marco, you kissed her!”

“wait, she kissed me—”

“and you didn’t do a damn thing about it!” you shouted.

“i...” he opened his mouth again but nothing came out.

“god, i’m such an idiot!” you say with a humorless laugh and take a few steps away from him before turning back around. “you spent weeks with this girl, having late night practices, missing dates, i should’ve known!”

“baby...” he says, quietly.

you shook your head. “do not call me that. you lost that right the second you chose her over me. and let’s be honest, that was probably a long time ago.”

you face away from him to wipe away a tear, not wanting him to see you.

“please, just let me explain.” he pleads, stepping closer.

“explain what?” you exclaim. “what your tongue was doing in her mouth? go ahead, i’ll wait.”

he was once again left speechless.

“i trusted you. you asked me to trust you and i did. and this is what i get in return?” you say to him, walking up to him so your chests were almost touching. “fuck you.”

at that point a car pulled up to the curb and you turned to see rachel sitting behind the wheel. you smiled when you saw her, wiping the last of your tears away.

you walked to her car, then turned to face marco. “and if it wasn’t already obvious, we’re through.”

you opened the passenger door and sank into the seat, putting your seatbelt on and ignoring rachel’s questioning.

“just drive, please.” you say quietly.

she nodded and drove away, but you didn’t miss the way she glared at marco as the car pulled away from the curb.

you rested your head against the back of the seat, feeling a new wave of tears wash over you. just like that, you and marco were over.
