This was ridiculous. Zippy blinked at David, staring at him now in complete and utter and SINCERE disgust. Despite the lies, nobody- especially David- should EVER put himself through this. She wanted to scream at him, shake him into some sense. No matter how he felt about her- he deserved better than anyone who claimed to love someone else more than him...
"You are acting foolish. This," She pointed fingers between him and her, "Was only temporary. Don't be a moron and put your future on the line." She was genuinely mad now. Mad at him for being so stupid and settling for a girl who claimed to love another. Mad at herself for making possibly the right but most painful possible choice. Mad at the Dartmouth people who settled the goddamn college outside of New York. And mostly furious that she finally had a new stroke of luck and it was all a lie.

David looked -- and felt -- like he just got punched. He stared at her, unable to keep bitter tears from welling up in his eyes. He felt stupid and used, and knowing that the girl he thought was The One didn't love him broke his fragile heart into a thousand pieces.
He sat there, staring at her for what seemed forever before he spoke again. When he did, his voice was quiet, shaky, "Why did you do that, Zippy? Why did you have to pretend this meant something? Why did you have to make me believe in us?"

"I didnt," She replied harshly, crossing her arms over her chest. This was the hardest thing she'd ever had to do and she was pretty sure she'd never recover from this. Her mother's death, her brothers' abandonment. This was up there.
This was just another tragedy.
"You just saw what you wanted to see. Don't make me feel like shit for this, Dave. We had a nice thing going, that wasn't a lie."

His eyes widened. "Why are you being like this, Zippy?!" He let out a huff of air, shaking his head. "I shouldn't have told you. I knew the second they offered it to me that I was gonna say no. I shouldn't have told you, and then you wouldn't be making up bullshit excuses for why we can't be together!"

She glared at him. "Go home, David. You are having a temper tantrum and no one here wants to deal with it."

"Of course you don't wanna deal with it," he snapped. "As soon as things get hard, you want me to go away so you can pretend everything's fine. Well, it's not fine! I'm not fine, I HURT!"

Zippy looked down. What the hell was she going to have to do? Soak him? Soak his ass all the way to New Hampshire? "How is that MY FAULT?" She hadn't asked for him to fall in love with her. What normal person would choose HER over COLLEGE? Over A FUTURE? With MONEY? and HAPPINESS?
Maybe David had lost his mind.

"How is it NOT your fault?! You came out of nowhere, and you were beautiful and smart and perfect! I GAVE myself to you! Because I thought we meant something!" He took a breath, trying to calm down. It didn't work. "There are plenty of colleges in New York! YOU'RE in New York! And goddammit, I LOVE YOU!"

She couldn't believe she could have this sort of an effect on a man. She was actually flattered, and it may have made her love him even more. But it also completely infuriated her. She had told him flat out that she loved Tristan, and he was still begging her?
He needed to go. She couldn't look at him.
"So what. We had sex. Big fucking deal. I told you to think about it, I tried to warn you, but you insisted!"

That made him pause, and he frowned darkly. "Is that all it was to you? Sex? Do you really have that little respect for yourself that you can just use your body that way?" He wanted so badly to believe she was better than that.
He stood up, swallowing the lump in his throat, wiping his eyes angrily. "Fine. Fine, Zippy. Congratulations, you got exactly what you wanted. Absolutely nothing."

"You're wrong," She responded, fighting the urge to break down. Her sunken, anger-filled, and saddened eyes found his. She knew looking at him would drive her argument (and David) home. "I never expected anything in the first place."

His heart clenched and tears stung his eyes as they locked on hers. "Well. Thanks, Zip. You were my first in a lot of ways. Including the first girl to break my heart."
One stray tear slipped out and fell down his cheek, then he turned, striding towards the door, and left.
