"And what did he say to her?"

"Why are you so concerned about everything other people are saying? If you didn't sleep with Tiffany just tell me where you were. Or were you sleeping with someone else?"

"I didn't cheat on you last night."

"You're terrible at phrasing things. What does that mean? That you cheated on me before?"

"No. Damn it, Keira! I just worded it wrong. I've never cheated on you. And I never will cheat on you."

"Then where were you?"

"Keira..."

"Where were you, Rory?" My voice cracked when I said his name. I was quickly falling apart. "Why won't you tell me?"

He just stared at me.

Say something! "Get. Out."

"What?"

"Get out of my apartment, Rory! Get the fuck out!"

Rory laughed. "Keira, if you could just..."

"You need to leave! This isn't working out."

"You're kicking me out? Seriously?"

"Tell me where you were. Just tell me what you were doing. Just tell me!"

He stared at me for a few seconds. "I'm sorry. I can't, Keira."

"Fine. Then you're officially evicted. Get out!" I threw the Nerf gun at him.

He stood up and caught the gun in his hands. "Evicting me, huh?" He raised his eyebrow at me.

"Stop. Stop looking so sexy! I'm not changing my mind. I can't even look at you right now. We're done, Rory. Get the hell out of my apartment."

"You're being ridiculous. We just agreed earlier today that we'd talk about our problems from now on. I'm not leaving."

"Cheating on me isn't something that we need to discuss. It's a deal breaker, Rory. And I've tried to talk to you. You won't tell me what you were doing. I don't have anything else to say. Clearly too much has happened between us. So I'm definitely not your girlfriend anymore. And you can't be my roommate now either. We're done!" I was so mad. And I hated how calm he was. He was the worst boyfriend ever. And definitely the worst roommate ever. And the sexiest. Damn it!

Rory's phone started buzzing in his pocket as he stared at me. "Fuck." He pulled out his cell and answered. He locked eyes with me. "Not great," he said into his phone. He put his hand over the receiver and held the phone out to me. "It's Connor. He'll tell you that he was with me last night."

"I don't care about him or Jackson being with you. I just want you to tell me where you were. And what you were doing with a girl that you think deserves five stars because of how good she is at sucking your cock! Is Connor going to explain all that to me if you give me the phone right now?"

"No."

"Then I don't want to talk to him. And I'm definitely done talking to you." I couldn't stand being in this room anymore with him. I couldn't look at him. My tears had already started to fall down my cheeks. I crossed my arms in front of my chest and walked toward my room.

"Keira." He grabbed my arm.

I shook him off of me. "Don't touch me, Rory. Don't you dare touch me." For the first time since he had come out of his bedroom, he actual

ly looked concerned.

"I just need you to trust me."
