Five Years of Make-Believe — Deleting Our History

am i like getting in the way of you and avery and julian never once turned her away he'd just smile at her and let it go and me i had no standing to say a thing i thought things would stay like this for a long time until that saturday when julian invited us to a party at his family's chloe was there too the party was loud and packed move move coming through in all the pushing and

bumping someone knocked into me and i went straight into the pool and by coincidence Chloe fell in, too, during the chaos. Chloe! Chloe! Julian jumped in almost immediately, got her up, and had her safely out of the water fast.

Chloe, look at me. You okay? I thrashed around in the freezing water for a long time. Is she okay? Get a towel. Oh my god, is she okay?

Wait, she's still in there! Someone help her! Help! She's sinking! Somebody help Someone finally spotted me and dragged me out before I went fully under. I collapsed awkwardly on the ground, coughing non-stop. Isn't Julian going after Avery? Why'd he go save Chloe?

You don't get it. Chloe's always been the one he actually likes. I kept my head down and didn't say anything, rinking out my clothes little by That night, Julian and Chloe made it official. The next week, as the dismissal bell rang between classes, several messages popped up on my phone.

Sorry, I didn't know you fell in the pool that night. You okay? Thanks for everything these past few weeks. About the payment I promised, when's a good time? I can have someone drop it off. Also, I need you to delete our chat history and that photo we took together.

I don't want Chloe upset, so I'm going to delete you first.
