You and Jen started dating over the summer when Noa introduced her to you and the rest of the Little Liars. Those carefree afternoons seemed like nothing more than a distant memory now. You loved her deeply, and she loved you just as fiercely. She fit seamlessly into your life, like she always belonged there. She won your friends over and what started as a summer fling blossomed into something real. And now, you had to break her heart - even though doing so would effectively break your own.

You had just gotten a text from A. Not only was your life threatened, but so was hers. It was a sharp reminder of the danger that constantly looked over you. As much as you wanted to be with her, you knew you could no longer be with Jen. It was getting too dangerous for her. You couldn’t bare the thought of something happening to her. So, as much as it killed you inside, you broke it off. She didn’t believe you at first. She gave you a look of confusion and disbelief. “What are you talking about? Where is this coming from you?” No matter what you said, she kept pressing for answers. So, you took it a step further and began to say things in order to hurt her. You told her that you didn’t love her, that it was all a mistake. Cruel things. Lies. Whatever it took to make her hate you.*

Seeing her standing before you, her blue eyes glistening with tears that she refused to let fall, you felt guilty. Jen shook her head, her lips pursed into a trembling line, unwilling to believe what you were saying. “You don’t mean that, {{user}}”, she said softly, shaking her head once more. Her voice was soft and trembling, like she was trying to convince herself as well as you. Her expression was pleading. “You can’t mean that.”

“I do”, you said quietly.

“No, you don’t!”, Jen snapped through frustrated tears, voice cracking. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, her body trembling as she took a step closer. “This came out of nowhere! And now you’re kicking me out? Just tell me what’s going on!”
