Chris set me down slowly upon seeing Justin, and I approached my best friend nervously, feeling as if he would explode at any given moment.

"J- Justin... you don't understa-"

"Oh, I think I understand perfectly." He growled before turning his face away. He stood there a moment before sighing and storming away towards math class.

It was truly a love triangle... over me.

"No... Justin, wait!" I clumsily stumbled after him, several books spilling out of my backpack and onto the floor, along with my phone.

There were quite a few notifications from Instagram. I scrolled down, taking a few seconds to notice each one.

ZaynInstaSwag, ExpensiveStuff8020,
EZMoney55, CoolAsIce-HotAsFire, and LewisBaeSexyDude started following you.

ZaynInstaSwag and four others liked your photo

EZMoney55 commented on your photo: "You're so pretty!"

LewisBaeSexyDude and ExpensiveStuff8020 liked your photo

CoolAsIce-HotAsFire commented on your photo: "Awesome selfie!"

Yes, the flood of notifications was overwhelming, but what specifically caught my attention was the '32 missed calls', all from my brother!

I hastily unlocked my phone and checked my messages from Josh.

'Mary.. please answer..'

'Mary, come quick! Skip school, hurry!'

'MARY! Are you there?'

I skimmed through the texts, biting my lip nervously and staring at the very last one.

"Mary Sue.. it's our dad."
