"That's not fair Lana". My heart felt heavy. Was I to blind to see that's how our relationship was? I spent almost two years with him and no it wasn't always perfect but we did have something or at least I thought we did.

"It's maybe not fair but it's true. He was poison you just didn't see it. You loved him and that clouded your vision. Can you remember junior prom?". She asked.

I didn't want to remember it. That was our first ever fight and it was ugly. "That was a horrible night". That night he wasn't Tommy. His whole attitude changed, he was damn right nasty to me.

"He's lucky I only burst his nose. He ruined our full night, he was a bastard and he made you cry. All he cared about was winning prom king". Rolling her eyes she clenched her fists. "You should have ended it for good when he left you on your own". "Can we not". I asked. It wasn't something I wanted to remember. In reality I buried the bad only wanting to remember the good but Lana was right, he was no good for me and now I knew that.

"I'm just stating fact and I hope Jake treats you better than that wanker did".

"He does". I smiled. It was totally different with Jake. He put me first, it wasn't always about him. With Tommy it was always what he wanted to do or where he wanted to go.

I guess I was scared in case he dumped me. "But you're right". I whispered. "I thought that was normal how he treated me. He was my first boyfriend and I believed everything he said".

"He-.. he didn't hurt you did he?". Her eyes connected with mine her phone forgotten about.

"God no". Not physically anyway. Tommy had a way with words at times. "That was in the past I knew our relationship ended the minute I left Florida".

"You would tell me if he did though right?".

"He didn't touch me Lana. You think I would have stayed with him if he hit me?". I asked.

"Sometimes words are worse than physical pain". Getting to her feet she grabbed a hold of my hand. "But you're right that was the past. We're here now and I have a feeling I'm going to like it".

"Can I ask you something?". I asked as she let go of my hand her attention going back to her phone.

"Pete wants to take me to dinner tonight". She grinned.
