1. A mess

Rowan

Today I was hoping to have a wonderful evening with Emma, but that was blown to shits when I

saw Ava out on a date with Ethan.

I wanted to rage. To destroy something, someone actually. I wanted to hit Ethan to a bloody pulp. I was mad at him and at my reaction at seeing him with Ava
