I got home by 9 and my parent were fast asleep.

They were early sleepers and risers.

Early bird catches the worm, or so they say.

I went for a hot shower and shivered.

I missed Jed.

He'd given me a warm kiss before I came in.

Now I felt so alone.

As I dressed, my phone buzzed with messages.

I flicked open WhatsApp.

Fifteen messages from Jed, two from Deryl, his best friend and one from Janelle.

I opened Jed's first, since I knew he was good at spamming.

I scrolled past the 'are you home yet?'s, the 'hello?'s and finally the last text.

JedtheJedi: I hate this. I hate you. Please reply.

My heart stopped.

First time he ever broke up with me.

Corrine628: Why should I reply when you broke up with me?

I didn't know boys were that possessive, because all the  times I've been with Jed, he was so sweet and he let me have freedom to what I wanted.

Eek.

Why, why, why. 

JanelleWilson: Are you here online?

Corrine628: Not in the mood to talk. TTYL.

I don't know what happened between Jed and I.

It had been so perfect...

I guess even fairytales could be shattered.
