i had just gotten back home from a long day of work. all i wanted to do was to cuddle and relax with luis, only to see he's nowhere to be found. while taking my heels off, i heard some grunts and moans coming from upstairs. this better be y/b/n and his girlfriend i thought.

when i went to check where the noise was coming from, my heart broke in two when i realized it was coming from bedroom i shared with luis. with my watery vision, i walked towards the door to reveal the ugly truth: luis was fucking my best friend.

in that moment, not only did my world collapse, but so did my love for him. everything that happened, all the memories i had with him in the last 3 years, just replayed and then vanished.

he looked up in pure shock and disbelief. "y/n it ain't what it looks-"

i cut him off. "bullshit." i wiped my fresh tears as i looked at my two best friends.

"and you." i pointed to my so called 'bestie for life'. "why ? why ? you already know the shit i've been through and you still pull this shit? it took forever just to get y/b/n out of that abusive home, let alone myself. and you pull this shit?"

i was furious with her. we've been best friends since middle school, and that's when i got raped by my drunk ass fuck of a father. she's the only one that's ever stuck by my side throughout everything.

she looked at me with guilt and a blank expression.

"i'm sorry y/n. please i was drunk." she paused. "we both were."

i closed my eyes and nodded my head, not believing one word.

both of them just sat there, with blank expressions. luis got up and tried to hug me but i pushed him back.

"don't touch me." i said and walked out the room.

"baby please" i heard him say.

i went outside, sat on the steps, and quietly sobbed. my tears were flooding my face, and the memories were flooding my head. i held my head in my hands and just sat there. i was sad and angry at the same time. was i not good enough ? was i not pretty enough ?

i heard the screen door open and close, and then a presence sitting down next to me.

i looked up and saw my younger brother. "hey. i heard what happened." he said. i stayed quiet, not saying a single word while tears kept rushing down my face.

"yeah well fuck them. i don't need a best friend or a boyfriend. i only need you and that's it." i spat.

"y/n don't say that."

"and why not?"

"because if it weren't for them, you and i would still be in that shitty home, being abused by those bastards. if it weren't for them, we'd still need saving. if it weren't for them," he paused. "who knows what."

i looked at him and seen that he was gettin tears too. "i just need time. im tired of getting fucked over by people and not doing a damn thing about it." i got up and went back into the house.

luis was sitting on the couch, and immediately stood up when i entered.

"baby i'm-"

"fuck you." i spat.

his eyes changed from guilt to hurt. "w-what?" he stuttered.

"i said, i gave you everything, my trust, my love, my whole fucking world." i took off the one thing i didn't ever dare to take off since he gave it to me: the puzzle piece necklace. i grabbed his hand, placed the necklace in it, and closed it.

"no no baby please. it was a mistake i promise it won't happen again!" he cried out.

"i'm sorry, but i need time. i've been fucked over by plenty of people my whole life, pushed around, like a damn doormat. im fucking tired of it." i look him in the eyes.

"please, i want to be with you luis. i just need time. i've been fucked over by two of the most important people in my life, and i'm done." i finished.

he looked up with a tearful face and nodded.

"okay. i'll wait for you." that's all he said before he kissed my cheek and walked out the door.
