Introduction

[Bianca's POV]

3 months

It's been 3 fucking months since I graduat[Bied, and I last heard from my best friends. We were friends since kindergarten, why did they leave after graduation? We promised eachother we wouldn't end our friendship, but I guess some people can't keep their promises.

[Flashback ON]

"I don't wanna leave you guys" said Lexi already tearing up

"Man, that's not gonna happen, we've been friends for too long, we're not gonna leave eachother" explained Gilinsky, I'm glad we think the same way

"I love you guys too much, I'm scared we'll sto-"

"Dude, that ain't gonna happen-" I interrupted Lexi. "stop worrying about it" Now they're all looking shocked at me, I had to say it. Sometimes Lexi is overdramatic for no reason, we've been friends for like. 15 years, do you just because highschool we're gonna leave highschool, our friendship will change? No way man. I have an idea on how to make her believe me.

"Well-" I continued, "maybe we can make a promise to never leave eachother- I mean, if you want to, of course."

"I don't think that's necessary and it makes no sense cuz promises are broken all the time, but Lexi seems worried so, let's do it." Johnson commented and looked at all the rest of us, we all nodded in agreement so we decided to make the ridiculous promise. Yeah it's ridiculous, I don't even know why I came up with this bullshit, I could've done so many other things to make Lexi believe me and I decide to make a lame promise, great job, Bianca.

"Do you guys wanna go to another place?" asked Johnson, I automatically started to walk and they followed me, we were then locked inside a cleaning room.

We held hands and I didn't know what to say so I simply told Gilinsky to start talking

"I promise to never ever leave you guys for anything that happens after high school" he said with a serious tone, this is so fucking stupid, why did I come up with this?

Gilinsky wanted to talk again, but Johnson interrupted him. Legend.

"I promise to always be by your side-" Johnson promised, he's too cute. "and to never hurt any of you" he finished and looked at me. Why did he look at me? I didn't do shit so he better back off. I rolled my eyes and started to say some lame ass stuff.

"I promise to always love you guys, and don't lose my chill everytime I'm with you" I said and looked at my friend Gilinsky who was smirking at me. He's such a fuckboy, I love him.

"I promise to never leave you guys for anyone else in this world" finished Lexi. Great, now we can go cuz I'm tired.

"Wait-" Johnson stopped us. Ugh what does he want now?

"are we like, taking this seriously?" he asked with a confused face. I may be acting like a bitch, but I made a true promise. These 3 people are my ultimate best friends, they mean the whole world to me and they made me the person I am today, I couldn't ask for better friends. I fucking love them.

I shook my head while Gilinsky and Lexi said a simple 'yup'. Johnson then let us go and we went home.

[Flashback OFF]

I don't know how they could just leave like that, we made promises, and we were best friends, our friendship shouldn't have ended like this.

I really miss them, but I have to move on. I'm going to college next week and I'm gonna have the time of my life. Kinda scared but pumped, I need a distraction.

Chapter 1

[5 days after]

 

[Bianca's POV]

 

I'm finally going to college in 2 days, but I'm not as excited as I was last week. I mean, I do want to go to college, but I don't know anyone there... I'm gonna be so lonely.

See, if these other 3 pieces of shit didn't left me, college would be so much easier! I wouldn't be as stressed out as I am right now AND I'd have friends.

"Bianca!" I hear my mom call me, what the fuck does she want now? I go downstairs to see my mom sitting on the couch doing nothing, when isn't she sitting there?

"What do you want?" I ask angrily. I need to pack my stuff for college, I don't have time for this shit.

"Do you want me to help you pack your stuff?" She asks sweetly, she must be fucking kidding me.

"Why would you want to help me? You never did" I'm gonna explode she's ridiculous.

"Don't talk to me like that and yes I did! I'm your mother and I want to help you pack your things for college. I'm gonna be so long without you, I wanna try to spend some quality time with you cuz I love you, Bianca!" She said crying, oh my god no.

"Look mom... I don't need your help, we never were close and we'll never be! I hate you, you hate me and nothing is gonna change just because I'm leaving" I said. I wanted to sound nice and I made an amazing job. Proud is an understatement!

"Fine then!" She said whipping her eyes. "if you really "hate me" then you can just leave right now!" No, no, no! Did she just kick me out? I'm so fucking done with her, how could I think she actually loved me? I'm so dumb.

"I was actually waiting for you to say that" No you weren't, Bianca. "I'm sick of your bullshit and I hope to never see you again!" I yell and run to my room.

I start to pack my stuff to leave this goddamn house, when I feel something wet falling on my lap. I'm crying. My mom and I never really got along, it was always like this. She used to make me things I regret doing, I’ll never forgive her.

So much is happening in such a short period of time, but I can’t do anything about it. Life is just a bitch, and I have to deal with it.

I finish packing my stuff, I pick up everything necessary and go downstairs. I leave without saying

goodbye to my mom who's still sitting on the couch, failure.

I put my stuff inside my car, and when I'm ready to leave I start to cry again. I'm so emotional right now, this isn't me. But I don't think It's bad for me to cry right now, I have no one! I need somewhere to go but I don't know wh- wait, I know where I'm going. My college dorm.

 

[Lexi's POV]

 

I can’t believe I’m on my way to college! I’m scared to go too, cuz I’m gonna be alone. I had to leave my bestfriends. It's not that I wanted to leave them, I had to. I promised my mom I wouldn't let anything distract me from college, and they were like a distraction for me, so I left them. I didn't even bother say "goodbye" or explain anything to them, because I know they wouldn't like my decision, so I simply stopped answering their calls. They tried to come to my house but I never opened the door. I feel bad because we made a promise we wouldn't leave eachother after graduation, but I had to. If they find out some day, I hope they understand.

I finally get to my dorm and unlock the door. I step inside and my roommate isn’t there yet. Thank god.

I put my things on the floor and start to dial my mom’s number.

“Lexi! Have you arrived?” I hear her ask, I can tell she’s as excited as I am.

“Hi mom! And yes I am!”

“Amazing, are you excited? Have you met your roommate yet? How’s the dorm?”

“Yes, no, and it’s so tiny! And about the roommate, I’m really scared to meet her, what if we don’t get along? I don’t wanna have to change dorms. Help me!”

“Oh, darling, everything Is gonna go great, you don’t need to worry about anything, okay?” My mom is the sweetes woman in the whole world. I love her so much.

“Okay…” I let out a sigh. I really want everything to go great.

“Good. Now, go eat something and unpack your stuff, we’ll talk later. Bye, I love you.”

“Bye, love you too.” I hang up and start to unpack my stuff. I stop when I hear someone try to unlock the door. Oh my god, my roommate is here!

I see a pink haired girl with pale skin coming inside. I get up to greet her and she gives me the biggest smile. She’s so cute!

“Hello!” I hear her say while we hug.

“What’s up? What’s your name?” I ask her and give her a welcoming smile.

“Mary, what’s yours?”

"It's Lexi." I reply and we shake hands. This is getting awkward.

"So," She starts. "We're gonna be roommates for a while, huh?"

"Yeah, it's gonna be amazing, we're gonna get along so well, you'll see!" I say and give her a smile.

"Hopefully, I don't have any siblings and I never had roommates so, I don't really know how this is going." She giggles. Aw, she's nervous.

"Neither did I, but don't worry about that, Okay?"

"Okay!" She says and lets out a big sigh.

"Wanna go grab lunch or something?" I ask. I need to get to know her.

"Sure, let's go!" And we leave our dorm. I already love this girl.

 

[Jack Johnson's POV]

 

It's 11:47 am and I'm laying on my new bed on the college dorm with my bestfriend Jack next to me. I can't believe I'm actually here, I wish I was here with all of my bestfriends though... I don't know what happened to get them to stop talking to us, but let me tell you where I think it all begun.

 

Jack and I went to New York for one month, and unfortunately, we got robbed. We couldn't reach anyone but our flights weren't for another 2 weeks, so we couldn't leave the city. When we were back in Nebraska, we tried to contact Lexi, but surprisingly, her mom told us she didn't wanted to hear from us ever again. I didn't get why she was being like that but I thought she was kidding or something, so we went to Bianca's, and guess what? Her mom said the same thing, amazing! I think they got mad over the fact that Jack and I didn’t take them to New York with us. I know it’s a horrible excuse but, they’re girls, you can never know!

"Jack, are you listening to me?" I hear my bestfriend yell. Fuck, I need to stop daydream so much.

"No, sorry bro. What did you say?"

"Dude, I know what you're thinking and you need to stop!" I doubt that. "They made pretty clear they are done with us, don't even think about a way to get them back. They hate us and we hate

them, end of discussion!" Or maybe he does.

"Sorry, man. I was just wondering why they left us, I mean, we promised that we wouldn't stop being friends but we did. It's kinda hard to understand."

"Bro, I know you're upset and shit, but you need to start to get over it." I knew this was coming. "I'm not the best with advice, but try to get distracted, you know, go to a party, I don't know, do something and stop thinking about that. It's not good for you." He's right, I should get a distraction. I'm glad I have him with me, he really does help me even though his advices suck.

"Alright, let's do something then!" I say and he smiles. God, what is he thinking about?

"We're going to a party, okay? I need to see you having fun, and not thinking about those girls." He says. I simply nod and go on my phone.

"I'm gonna grab something to eat, do you want something?" He's leaving, great.

"No, thanks." I reply. I don't wanna leave our dorm.

"Fine, I'll be back in 20." He says and leaves the dorm. I need some time alone.

I don't like that he's always telling me to forget them, even though I know it'd be better for me. I don’t know why I’m always thinking about them, I try to stop myself from doing that but I just can’t. They’re like fucking mosquitos, you’re still looking for them even when they’re dead. That was a horrible example, but that’s my situation at the moment. I don’t know what’s going on with me and what I’m feeling. What am I feeling? Is it anger? Is it relief? Sadness? Happiness? Maybe lov- Wait, no!

I don’t like them, I can’t like them, I never did and I never will. I may be unsure about a lot of stuff, but I’m pretty damn sure I’m not in love with any of them! I’m so confused right now.

 

[Jack Gilinsky's POV]

 

Here I am, on my college dorm with my bestfriend next to me, this is unbelievable. I never thought I could actually fit in a college, and the fact that I did and I'm here with Jack, makes me so damn happy.

"Dude, I'm so glad I get to do all of this cool shit with you!" I tell my friend, but he's daydreaming again. Amazing.

"Jack I swear to god if you don-" I stop and notice he still isn't listening to me.

"Jack, are you listening to me?" I yell at him and he looks at me. Finally.

"No, sorry bro. What did you say?" He's been like this for the past months and I don't like to see him like this.

"Dude, I know what you're thinking and you need to stop! hey made pretty clear they are done with us, don't even think about a way to get them back. They hate us and we hate them, end of discussion!" I had to let this out. He needs to realize, they're done with us. They left, good for them, now he needs to move on, like I did, kinda.

"Sorry, man. I was just wondering why they left us, I mean, we promised that we wouldn't stop being friends but we did. It's kinda hard to understand." Well, you're wondering way too much, now shut the fuck up and enjoy your life.

"Bro, I know you're upset and shit, but you need to start to get over it. "I'm not the best with advice, but try to get distracted, you know, go to a party, I don't know, do something and stop thinking about that. It's not good for you."

 

"Alright, let's do something then!" Oh my god, he finally agrees to do something! Proud of my boy. I can't help but smile right now.

"We're going to a party, okay? I need to see you having fun, and not thinking about those girls." I say. He nods and goes on his phone. That was easier than I expected.

I need some time alone, so I tell him: "I'm gonna grab something to eat, do you want something?"

"No, thanks."

"Fine, I'll be back in 20." I say and then leave. Finally alone.

I actually do get why he's upset, I mean, they were our bestfriends I felt the same way. Well, I still feel the same way. I might not be showing it right now, but I feel just as empty as he does. I don't know why though, I never felt like this before. I hate this feeling, I feel sick. I'm just gonna get the food and go back to the dorm before I go crazy.

Chapter 2

 

[Bianca's POV]
 
I finally arrive to my college dorm, and when I try to unlock the door, I notice it's already unlocked. I get inside and I see a girl with crazy long hair and full of tattoos hooking up with some guy. Wow, starting off great.
 
"What's up lovebirds, look, today I'm not in a good mood, so please get another room, thanks." I say and put my stuff on the free bed.
 
"It's all good," she says getting up and approaching me. "not in a good mood, huh, what happened?"
 
"I basically got kicked out of my mom's house."
 
"That's not very good," Wow, really? "what's your name?"
 
"Bianca, what's yours?"
 
"Mia, and that over there," she says pointing at the guy she was hooking up with. "is Kyle, my boyfriend."
 
"Hi" I say and he replies the same.
 
"So, where's your guy?"
 
"What do you mean with 'my guy?"
“God,” She says with a big sigh. “you like to make stuff difficult, don’t you?
“Yeah, alright." I say and roll my eyes. I’m tired and angry, I don’t need this shit right now.
 
"You're so annoyed, calm down no one did anything to you!" You annoy the fuck out of me! God, and I'm the one making stuff difficult.
 
"Wow, sorry I'm not in the mood to talk!" I yell. This girl drives me crazy and I barely even know her!
 
"Kyle, leave." She says and he leaves without saying anything. What kind of relationship is this? If my boyfriend did anything like that, I'd kick him in the throat.
 
After Kyle left Mia started to ask a bunch of stupid questions that I didn't even care about, until one made me feel goosebumps.
 
"What about your friends? Are they here with you?" Did she really have to bring them up?
 
I simply smile and say: "I don't have any friends."
 
Mia looks at me shocked and then giggles. "You're kidding me, right?"
 
"Nope, I'm deadly serious. They all left after highschool." I say and lay back. It's kinda hard for me to accept the fact that they actually left me.
 
"Tell me more about that." She insists.
 
"It all started with a promise Jack Johnson, Jack Gilinsky, Lexi Smith and I, Bianca Fields, made…”
[Flashback On]
 
"I don't wanna leave you guys" said Lexi already tearing up
 
"Man, that's not gonna happen, we've been friends for too long, we're not gonna leave eachother" explained Gilinsky, I'm glad we think the same way
 
"I love you guys too much, I'm scared we'll sto-"
 
"Dude, that ain't gonna happen-" I interrupted Lexi. "stop worrying about it" Now they're all looking shocked at me, I had to say it. Sometimes Lexi is overdramatic for no reason, we've been friends for like. 15 years, do you just because highschool we're gonna leave highschool, our friendship will change? No way man. I have an idea on how to make her believe me.
 
"Well-" I continued, "maybe we can make a promise to never leave eachother- I mean, if you want to, of course."
 
"I don't think that's necessary and it makes no sense cuz promises are broken all the time, but Lexi seems worried so, let's do it." Johnson commented and looked at all the rest of us, we all nodded in agreement so we decided to make the ridiculous promise. Yeah it's ridiculous, I don't even know why I came up with this bullshit, I could've done so many other things to make Lexi believe me and I decide to make a lame promise, great job, Bianca.
 
"Do you guys wanna go to another place?" asked Johnson, I automatically started to walk and they followed me, we were then locked inside a cleaning room.

"I promise to never leave you guys for anyone else in this world" finished Lexi. Great, now we can go cuz I'm tired.
 
"Wait-" Johnson stopped us. Ugh what does he want now?
 
"are we like, taking this seriously?" he asked with a confused face. I may be acting like a bitch, but I made a true promise. These 3 people are my ultimate best friends, they mean the whole world to me and they made me the person I am today, I couldn't ask for better friends. I fucking love them.
 
I shook my head while Gilinsky and Lexi said a simple 'yup'. Johnson then let us go and we went home.

[Flashback OFF]
 
"So, you were pretty close, huh?"
 
"Yeah, I was really close with all of them, but I can say Gilinsky was like a brother to me."
 
"But how did it all happen? Like, how did you find out they left you?"
 
"Well, the guys went to New York, and Lexi told me, they went there to go to college without any distractions, that's why they stopped talking to us. And the day after, Lexi also stopped talking to me. It was all so weird, I still get so confused."
 
"That's bullshit! Why would your supposed 'bestfriend' tell you your other 'bestfriends' left you, and then stop talking to you too? You're so dumb for believing that shit, sorry.” She's right, but I can’t do anything about that.
 
"I know, but it’s too late now.”
 
"You'll find out some day."
 
"Hopefully I will."
 
I get up and start to unpack my stuff while Mia leaves the dorm. I 'm glad Mia is my roommate, I don't know her that well, but she's good with advice. I already love her.
 
"Man, I don't know..." I hear Mia say. The next thing I remember doing, is going near the door and eavesdrop.
 
"Please, Bianca can come with us, we're gonna have an amazing time." I hear a masculine voice, I suppose it's Kyle's.
 
"I don't think she's like us, she's way more calm and to herself. She's not a party animal." Well excuse you, since when do you know that?
 
"Ask her, then." Oh fuck, they're coming. I go back to my suitcase and start to unpack again.
 
"Yo Bianca, Kyle and I are going to a party tonight, do you wanna come?"
 
"Of course! When is it?" This idea is kinda scaring me, but I have to go. I wanna show them I am a party animal.
 
"That doesn't matter, let's get ready! Bye Kyle!" She says and he leaves. She's so rude to him, I like her.
 
[Lexi's POV]
 
It's 6:42 pm and Mary and I are getting ready fo a party. I'm very nervous, it's my first college party and shit.
 
"Lexi, let's go! Jasmine is here." Shit, I'm nervous!
 
We leave the dorm and Jasmine is waiting for us in the car, Jasmine is a friend of Mary, I don't know anything else about her.
 
"Excited?" Asks Jasmine. I don't know if I am.
 
"Hell yes! I never went to a college party, I heard it's crazy" Said Mary, oh gosh, I don't wanna go anymore.
 
Jasmine and Mary keep talking about this party and I'm so nervous. What if guys try to hit on me? Stuff like that never usually happens to me, I don't wanna end up getting raped or some shit.
 
"Hello, Lexi, are you awake?" I hear Mary say. I need to stop daydreaming.
 
"No, I was just thinking about the party." I force a giggle. I'm almost shaking, I haven't been this nervous for so long.
 
"We're here!" Jasmine announces. We get out of the car and, oh gosh, there's so many people here!
 
"Let's go inside." One of them says, I don't know who it was, I was too busy looking at the amount of people here.
 
We're in a big ass fraternity house, everyone's so drunk. I see a girl giving a guy a blowjob next to the door, gross. I see girls puking, boys playing truth or dare, people fainting. I gotta admit, this place is scaring the fuck out of me, I've never experienced anything like this. I wanna leave already, but I can't.
 
We get inside the house and get some drinks. I know some people from my old school who are just as scared as I am, then I see two guys playing beer pong. I know them. They're Johnson and Gilinsky.
 
"Mary, I can't stay here any longer!" I yell at ry.
 
"Why? We just got here, we can't leave now."
 
"My two guy bestfriends I told you about are here! They're gonna see me, I can't be here"
 
"Yo, they're not gonna see you, they must be wasted. Now, get drunk with me." She says taking a shot. Damn girl.
 
I then look at Jasmine who's greeting a creepy ass girl, she's all tattooed, ew. Mary and I go to greet her too when I see someone I didn't wanted to see. Bianca.
 
She looks at me with big eyes and runs away. This is how I know I fucked up.
