Chapter 8 Maybe Trevor had muted our WhatsApp chat , so my message hadn't triggered a notification . He hadn't even realized I'd messaged him the night before . Trevor stared at the screen , stunned . He immediately opened our chat history and , sure enough , found the breakup message he'd apparently chosen not to see . " I didn't even know about this last night . This ... this doesn't count . " " It was already late by the time I dropped Brianna off . I didn't think you'd actually stay there waiting for me .

" " And that's supposed to excuse the fact that you never called or texted afterward ? " I suddenly felt exhausted . " Forget it . There's no point talking about this anymore . ' " I'm telling you we're over . I'm not asking for your permission . " . " I'm hanging up . Don't contact me again . " I ended the call before he could argue . Trevor stared at the dark screen , unwilling to let it go , and called me again . This time , the call wouldn't connect . Brianna noticed his frown . " You look upset . Did you and Sydney have a fight ? " Trevor said nothing , which was answer enough .

" " Connor showed me the security footage from the equipment room . " " Brianna fell on her own , then turned around and accused Sydney . That tells me plenty about her character . " " You pushed Sydney out and replaced her with someone willing to lie like that . Was it really worth it ? " " I'm here today to make one thing clear .
