We're going on a roadtrip to a city a few hours away over the weekend. My Boyfriend pulls up and when I go to the passenger side somebody is already in the seat. It's my Boyfriend's girl best friend. Of course it is.

"Lia, wanted to sit in the front. Can you just sit in the back?"

I stare at him for a moment but decide to try not to start a fight this soon. When I open the door I realise Connor is sitting there. He is one of my boyfriends close friends. He's really quiet but intimidating.

When I get in he just stares at me for a few seconds and then looks away. There is something in his gaze I can't quite understand. It almost looks like anger. We stop at a gas station a little bit later and my boyfriend and Lia get out to get some snacks.

„Why would you let him get away with that?"

I turn to Connor shocked because I have never heard him speak.

„What?"

„He isn't treating you with an ounce of respect like you should be, especially as his girlfriend."

My face reddens

„It's just not worth the fight."
