Did I imagine all the times Drew said he loved me?

“Well, if that’s the case,” I said. “I’m glad I know now how you really feel about me, Drew. It makes me feel a lot less guilty being with Nat, knowing you didn’t really care for me as I thought.”

Drew barely blinked as he coolly observed me. “You should go back to Nat,” he said. “What we had…it was just a childhood crush. A stupid fantasy crush. Now that I’m grown up and in college, I realized that’s all it was. I’m over it now and moving on. Dad was right. Why settle for one girl when you can have your pick in college.”

“Drew…” I swallowed my tears. I wasn’t going to let him see how much his words had hurt me. I should’ve known Drew wasn’t sincere about how he felt about me this entire time. He was a player. He was unbelievably gorgeous. He knew the effect he had on women. He enjoyed sex way too much to wait it out for a girl like me., an innocent. He played me so well, got me to go to bed with him, take me as a conquest, and I never saw it coming… “Who are you?” I asked bitterly.

I raised my hand high in the air and let it fly as hard as it could across Drew’s face. You could hear the smack clear across campus.

Drew nearly stumbled to the ground with the force of my slap. My volleyball arm could be a lethal weapon if I wanted to. I wanted to, briefly, but held back. Despite being as hurt and betrayed as I felt, deep down inside, I still saw the sweet beautiful boy, who tagged along with Rachel and me at Aunt Sookie’s. I saw the young man, whose world was torn when his mother tried to commit suicide on fourth of July. Dammit, I still saw the Drew I had fallen half in love with.

I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t believe this was happening. I rushed past Drew and ran to my seat to pick up my bag.

Trish took a good look at me, and handed me a piece of paper with her number on it. “You can borrow my notes. Call me.”

“Thanks,” I said, rushing out of the classroom before I could spot Drew coming in. I hurried to my car and fumbled to open the door. When I got in and locked all the doors, I felt the tremors go through me like tidal waves of sorrow. I kept crying, letting it all out.

All this time I feared I would break Drew’s heart one day if Nat ever returned my love and we ended up together, but it was the opposite. Drew was the one who broke my heart, shattering the rock I thought he was for me. A betrayal like this hurt more than anything the haters and trolls tried to say or do against Aunt Sookie and me. It cut to the core, and I wasn’t sure if I could ever forgive Drew.
