Emma blew a raspberry as she looked around for her boyfriend. He was supposed to be at their date, but no such luck.
Matthew had been acting odd for the past month, she knew it but couldn't quite put her finger on what it was. He acted normal, but they both knew he wasn't. So....she may have gotten onto his phone and snooped around...?
She regretted doing it as soon as she had gotten to the home screen, but against further judgement, Emma had gone onto his phone app. Her heart had sort of dropped when she saw that the almost all of his calls from the last month were to some girl named Eva.
   'You should have known better', she had told herself after turning the phone off. 'Matthew has always been too good to be true.'
And speaking of the guy, Matthew was coming right up to her now. He ran to her, giving Emma a small smile she now knew was fake.
"Hey Emma" He said, kissing her on the forehead. He was about to say something before she stopped him.
  "We need to talk, Matthew."
He seemed to swallow, sitting down. "Okay. What do you want to talk about?"
  Emma sat down as well. "So who's Eva?" She asked, sending a look towards his phone.
Matthew looked toward her nervously. "Well...she's this girl who accidentally called me once. Once turned into twice, twice turned into three times, and we sort of, became..call buddies, you could call it."
"Do you like her?" Emma wondered. "And tell me the truth." She added when seeing him hesitate.
Matthew sighed, looking into her eyes. That's when she knew he had lost him. "Yes. Yes I do. I was going to tell you, Emma, I promise, but the timing just never seemed right, and~" She cut him off by putting a finger to her lips.
Emma then put her arms around her neck, taking off the heart necklace he had given to her. She handed it to the star, slight tears coming to her eyes. Matt had been her first love. But she wanted him to be happy. So she said the following words, giving Matthew his necklace back.
"Your heart belongs to her, Matthew. It's never been mine. So go get her, Prince Charming." She chuckled softly at the end.
Matthew took the necklace, sighing. "I really do care about you though.." he had an almost wistful look on his face.
"I care about you too, Matt. That's why we're breaking up." Emma told him, getting an understanding nod in response. "Thank you, Emma." He told her, kissing her forehead.
And with that, Matthew Valentine, her first love, first boyfriend, and first heartbreak ran off.
