Victoria's POV

It's been a week since the party at Justin's and I've managed to avoid him at all costs. Of course he showed up at Phantom, but I either ignored him or slipped past him when he wasn't looking. I don't know why, but I just didn't want to talk to him. Actually I did know why...I was a jealous bitch. I shouldn't have felt that way especially since we weren't even anything serious, but I just couldn't stop replaying him and his assistant all close, touching and giggling out of my head. It brought back so many memories of a guy I once thought was the one.

Wesley Lebeau. God, he was the most handsome boy I had ever met at the time. His last name literally meant 'the handsome one' in french, so I thought it fit him well. His background came really handy when I ended up taking French in eleventh grade, which is when I met him. We sat together everyday and would always ask for help because learning another language isn't easy, everyone knows that.

I would go over to his house on the weekends and we would study together, just study. Then one day, I thought it was another study session, but he actually cooked me dinner and we hung out. I had an amazing time and well I guess you could say that I slowly started to like him as more than my study partner.

When summer came around, we were together a lot. Not having to worry about school made our time together a lot more fun. We went to the beach, movies, bowling, you name it. I felt so adventurous with him and I loved it. I wasn't a shy person, but he brought me out of a shell that I sometimes found myself in when I didn't want to do things that I had never done before. He was like my ticket to a new life. It sounds like an exaggeration, but it's true.

As summer came to an end, Wesley and I started our senior year as a couple. He was my first boyfriend to be honest. I had been with guys, but it wasn't serious. High school relationships weren't something that I felt needed to be serious because there were more important things, but Wesley changed all of that. He made me the happiest girl in the world.

We went strong throughout the whole year. He took me on dates almost every weekend, which was the cutest thing ever. I really appreciated him for going out of his way to make me happy. He was honestly the best.

Once we graduated, we remained together although he went to college out of state on the other side of the country and I went to community college because I didn't have enough money to pay for New York University, where I was accepted. His family was loaded and offered to help, but I just couldn't accept it. That's the reason why I started working at Phantom, to pay for college. Wesley found out and I swear I had never seen him so disappointed. Then he tried to pretend like he didn't think of me differently, except he became distant. The calls went from everyday to maybe two times a week.

I remember wanting to surprise him for his birthday. I had made enough side money for a roundtrip and hotel. That was the worst decision I had ever made to say the least. I wasted my money. I could've saved it and put it towards my college fund, but I was stupid in love.

"Sofia, I just got off the plane! My first damn plane ride! I'm so nervous and excited to see him," I said into the mouthpiece of my white iPhone 5 as I walked onto the escalator to baggage claim.

"I'm glad you made it there safely. He's gonna be so surprised and happy!" she squealed and I swear my ears started to bleed.

"I hope so," I sighed, looking at the boards to find where my bags should be coming out at.

"Puta! I know you two haven't been the closest these past few weeks, but he's going to appreciate the fact that you flew to see him for his birthday plus it was your first plane ride."
