Andy's P.O.V

When I left the school I just looked forward and I walked, I just kept walking because that was all I could do without breaking down. I kept my eyes ahead and I let my feet lead me. When my phone started to vibrate, I checked it quickly to see Em's name pop up.

"Hey, where are you?" She says sounding antsy.

"Needed to leave, so I left school." I say clearly my throats a bit.

"What happened? I saw Nat-"

"Don't! Don't even say his name." I shout into the phone, after some deafening silence I hear Emily breath.

"Um, I'll talk to you later then. Stay safe please." She says in a whisper before I hang up. I stuff the phone in my pocket and head straight into the nearest corner store I found.

"Welcome." The cashier says as I enter, his face showed his boredom but his voice was trying to be enthusiastic. I ignored him and walked straight to the back pulling out two tubs of ice cream for home and a strawberry popsicle for the walk home. I stumbled to the counter, dumping it down before opening the popsicle and chopping on it.

"Even if you eat it you still gotta pay." The guy says looking at me with amusement, I hum in response eating the cold goodness as it washed away all my problems. When my phone rang I grunted silently to check why Em would be calling again, when Nate's name appeared on the screen I chucked it straight at the wall behind the cashier. He ducked missing it barely as it crashed against the wall cracking and falling to the floor. I screamed angrily when I realised I destroyed my phone and finished the popsicle, I rushed to the back for two more before walking to the cashier again. He was leaning against the counter with a smirk.

"Bad break up?" He asks scanning the items.

"I don't know if we broke up." I say truthfully, pain filling my heart.

"How can you not know?" He asks packing the ice cream into a plastic bag.

"It's a long story." I reply angrily.

"I've got time." He says giving me a smug smile. This guy seemed sly, like I could just tell he would bring a lot of trouble, fun too, but a lot of trouble.

"Sorry, I don't want my ice-cream to melt." I say placing down a twenty and picking up my bag.

"Well I'm always here." He says sitting in his chair and stuffing his head into a magazine. I leave at that and quickly head home.

"Two whole tubs! Andy that's not right." Emily says staring at the empty tubs of Rum and Raisin ice cream on the floor. I just grunted as I wrapped myself up in my sheets.

"What happened?" She asks sitting on the edge of my bed.

"I met a jerk and I started to like him and despite better judgement I started to date him. Even though I knew not to and everyone said not to. Even though he kept messing with my life and bringing unwanted trouble and pain, I dated him because he was nice to me. He didn't treat me like the others, he was great to me. Then he started to be the lying bastard he was to everyone else." I spit out sobbing a little at the end.

"Oh Andy, don't cry. Every tear drop is a gun shot for Nate and to add anymore is just plain cruel." Emily says rubbing my back making me laugh a bit.

"I need more ice-cream." I say quietly.

"You've had enough ice-cream, how about pizza instead?" She asks, I nod in agreement. "I'll get the cinnamon sticks you love so much too."

"Your the best thing in my life Emily." I say finally looking at her. She gives me a heart warming smile before hugging me tightly. She rushed out the house in search of my pizza. I sighed in content at the silent and the feeling of my soft mattress.

"Andy! Nate's here for you!" My mom yells making me scream loudly at the mention of his name. I walk to my door opening it so my voice would travel better from my room.

"Tell him to go jump of a bridge!" I shout back loud enough so his stupid ears could hear.

"Don't say that to your boyfriend!" She shouts back making me chuckle to myself.

"I don't have a boyfriend!" I shout back anger pumping through my veins.

"Andy come on!" Nate shouted making my heart clench.

"I don't have a boyfriend! What I do have is a lying, conniving piece of shit that should leave me the hell alone until he's ready to tell me the truth!" I say slamming the door so hard I thought it would break.

I pant angrily as I paced in my bedroom, he made me so angry. So homicidally angry! I tried to lie down again but I was too riled up to stay still, that asshole ruined sleep for me. I tried a cold shower but that just made me angry.

Where the hell were my cinnamon sticks?

I looked around for my phone to call Em when I realised I didn't have it because I broke it.

"Ughhhhh!" I shout angrily before grabbing some money and heading out the house before my mom could say anything. Luckily Nate wasn't waiting outside so I made my way to the familiar store for some more ice cream. When I walked inside the guy was still there but the magazine was on his face and he was snoring. I went to the back for another tub before dumping it on the counter jolting him awake.

"You shouldn't sleep on the job." I say pulling out my money while he rubs his eyes.

"You shouldn't be such a bitch. You don't mess with sleep." He says angrily, his tone was way deeper and scarier than the lazily cheery guy I spoke to earlier. 

"Sorry."

"Another tub? What the fuck are you!" He says scanning it making me chuckle.

"Angry." I reply making him smirk, which was weird.

"Ready to talk now?" He says raising a suggestive eyebrow.

-----

"I mean, how hard is it to tell me." I say stuffing my mouth with a spoonful of the creamy goodness.

"You think he's cheating?" Zane asks eating a spoonful of the shared tub.

"What else am I supposed to think?"

"I don't know. I don't usually do...this." He says gesturing to my venting session.

"Then why did you offer?"

"Because you had ice cream, I like ice cream. Especially the free kind." He says going to take another spoonful before I pull the tub away.

"You're an asshole." I say sitting back in my swirly chair.

"Thanks babe." He says with a smirk. I look outside the window to see it was pretty dark and I'd been here for hours.

"It's getting late." I say standing from my seat and sliding over the counter.

"Is it because of the ice cream? I can change." He says holding his chest dramatically.

"No you can't." I respond with a chuckle as I make my way to the door, making him shrug.

"Hey." He says stopping me,"I think you should ask the guy who got his nose broken. He knows something and got his punched for mentioning it, I bet he's pissed, won't take much to make him talk." Zane says picking up another magazine.

"That's actually genius, thanks." I reply.

"Anytime babe."
