My heart felt like mirror that have been shattered mirror into a million pieces, crumbled like a piece of paper that's ready to be thrown away

I look up at Stranger, my eyes blurry from the tears flowing freely down my face, quickly looking down as i don't want them to look at me

While Thomas laughing at me "This is gold! Make sure you got it all on camera"

Chase, holding the camera just gave Thomas a thumbs up

"Now, Stranger. How about you show your identity to your Sweetheart?"

Stranger clenched his teeth "That's enough, Thomas"

"Oh, Come on! We haven't got to the best part yet"

I look up to look at Stranger, confused

"She doesn't know, huh?" Axel said

"Oh! The little Sweetheart didn't know?" Chase said teasingly

"Maybe you're wondering, Why do people like us know someone like Stranger. What if i told you that we go to the same school together and are friends with Stranger"

I stared at Stranger, shocked. Sending him a message through my brain, asking him if it was true

Then i stared at Thomas from the look of his face, that cocky smirk that i want to slap off his face, badly

"Don't believe me? Well, do you remember when we beat you up and you fainted? The one who made us stop hurting you was this guy" Thomas while gesturing to Stranger

I stared, eyes bulging out of their sockets

He was the one who saved me from Thomas and his friends?

"B-but, H-how?" I ask, my voice barely above a whisper

Thomas smirked "He goes to school with us, Sweetheart"

But, i never saw Stranger hanging around with Thomas and his friends

"And Stranger said to us that he met someone in this meadow and he said was annoyed that someone found this meadow. Since, he can't get rid of her. He decided to play his role of the nice guy and become friends with her." Thomas said, while smirking at me

Stranger decided to be the good guy and just be friends with me?

Stranger clenched his teeth and balled his fists "That's enough, Thomas"

"But, i haven't got to the good part yet! May i continue?"

Axel and Chris smirked and gave Thomas a thumbs up

"Now, after becoming friends with her, he took her to all of these adventures together and he start to grow feelings for her" Thomas said

I look at Stranger, shocked

Stranger had feelings for me?

Stranger looked away from me and his ears started to redden

Thomas pointing at Stranger "He likes you, then he said to us that he couldn't do it anymore but, we matters into our own hands and beat you up. We said to him 'You stop this act than we will hurt her' and he continued his act"

"You went to disneyland together and even had a date together and now, it's her birthday and you gave her that stupid bracelet"

"To put it in a short way. Basically, he lied to you all time and your little 'friendship' with him is an act" Thomas said, while smirking

More tears started to fall down my face, i'm holding back the sob that wanted to escape my lips

"No! Sweetheart! Don't believe him!"

"A-and why s-should i believe y-you?"

"That's what you get Stranger for hurting your Sweetheart" Thomas said in a baby voice, mocking Starnger

And out of nowhere, Stranger threw a punch a Thomas, knocking him off his feet

Thomas held his bruised cheek and glared at Stranger "It's on now!"

Thomas got off the ground and pounced onto Stranger, both of them fell down with Thomas on top of Stranger, started throwing punches at Stranger face. While, Stranger trying to dogde Thomas punches

Stranger managed to punch Thomas bruised cheek and Thomas groan in pain, Stranger took that advantage to roll on top of Thomas and give a few punches

I gasp in shock and start to ran to stop the fight, when Axel grab me by the arm, holding it tightly

"Let me go!" I scream and trying to get out of Axel's grip

"No way, Sweetheart" He said, his grip tightening his grip on my arm

I hiss in pain, i had nothing else to do. Axel's grip on me became tighter and tighter, i did the most amazing yet stupidest thing i have done

I slapped him, hard

You can hear the sound of the slap loud and clear, Stranger and Thomas stop fighting to look at me, shocked

Chris and Chase were like fish out of water, gaping at me

I look at Axel infront of me, the way he looks at can bury me six feet under ground all ready, those brown eyes bore into my hazel one looking at me, like a hunter ready to kill his prey

"You bitch!" He yell and punch me in the stomach

I moan in pain and drop on my knees, hoping that the pain would stop

Axel grab a chuck of my hair and start to pull and i hiss in pain, few tears escaped my eyes

"Axel! Stop it!" Stranger yell at Axel

Seeing that Stranger is distracted Thomas punch his cheek and Stranger hiss in pain, Thomas grab Stranger by his hair and start to drag him to me

"Chase! Come here! Make sure you got this on camera! Chris! Help me!" Thomas yell to Chase

Thomas and Chris drag Stranger. So, he is right infront of me

"Sweetheart! Meet your Stranger!" Thomas said as he slowy took off Stranger's mask, Stranger struggle to get out of Thomas grip but, it was too late

It's Jason, behind that mask

My eyes bulging out of my sockets

Jason, the most popular guy at school was Stranger?

I look closer into his blue eyes and saw that they were they same blue eyes that i met over a month ago

I'm an idiot

"Since, you know who Stranger is. It's no suprise that he did this, right?And since, you slapped Axel. We will have to give you a punishment, Stranger would you care to teach her a lesson?"

"No way, Thomas" Stranger or jason said, shaking his head

"You do it or we will do it" Axel said, craking his knucles

"No!" Stranger yells

"If you don't do it, we will tell everyone at school, what you have been doing all this time with her and you will one of the losers at school"

"We will tell everyone that Jason doesn't go to parties and drink anymore but, goes to disneyland and has been hanging out with a loser"

Stranger stayed quiet for a few moments before sighing and whispers, looking at me with guilt clear in his eyes "I'm sorry"

"You're willing to hurt to me just for popularity?" I ask

He didn't answer me instead kick my stomach once more and i hiss in pain, curling into a ball

He continued to kick me and i grab his legs making him stop, punching his leg as hard as i can

"Ow!" He yells as he rubs the spot where i hit him

I took this opportunity to get back up and run as fast as i can

Running through the meadow, the cold breeze hits my skin as i run trying to get away from Stranger, out of breath, i push my legs harder until they start to feel weak

I hid behind a tree as i back at the meadow, hoping that no one followed me, i let out a sigh of relief but, it was all too soon

Someone punch me in the stomach and i groan out of pain, falling onto my knees

Tears streaming down my face at the intense pain in my stomach, i look up to see who did this to me and it didn't take me a long time to know who he is those blue that i can recognize from a mile away

He continued to throw punches at my body, everywhere. By moring, my body is going to full of blue and purple bruises

"P-please! S-st-top!"

He ignored me

"P-pleas-se!"

One punch to the gut

"St-top!"

Another punch to the arm

"Pl-lease!"

Another punch to the thigh

"St-top!"

Another punch to the stomach

Tears were streaming down as i felt so vulnerably and hopeless, no was going to help me, i pray that someone or anyone can help me, please...

"I think, that's enough Jason" Thomas said

Thomas came closer and pulled my hair to make me look at him "Don't ever mess with us, ever again"

He let go of my hair and start to walk away from, not before Stranger gave me one last look at me before catching up with his friends. His friends were patting his back as if a proud dad would do

I lay down on that ground still feeling the pain of Stranger's beating, not only did he play with my body like a puppet but, with my feelings as well.

I knew i had feelings for Stranger and now? Him giving me a beating was clear sign that he never liked me. Some part of me hoped that he will like me back

Tears of frustration running down my face as i let out a sob that i had so long want to let out

This was all an act

This was all an act

This was all an act

I felt like an idiot, fifty shades of idiot

Out of all the days that this could happen. Why on my birthday?

Did Stranger hated me from the beginning?

He wanted to be the nice guy and just be friends with me?

First, my parents had work on my birthday then Jordan had a family dinner and now, Stranger was not my friends anymore and this whole 'friendship' is an act

Happy birthday to me....
