- I was just like, "Why?"
And he was like, "Oh, I wanted you and her."
And I was like, "That makes no sense!"
- He texts me, "I love you."
I don't know what to say.
I normally don't know how to talk to people anyways.
So I just reply back, "Love you too."
(upbeat music)
- My name is Bethany and today I'm going to tell you
my breakup horror story.
So my senior year of high school I met this guy on Instagram
who I thought was super hot.
And we went out for a couple months,
like around where I was and he would
have his mom drive 'cause he didn't drive.
We would hang out and like I would tell my parents
that I was hanging out with my friends.
And when I started driving,
so, in like December of 2018,
I would tell my parents that I was at my friends house.
And I would change my location from my phone
to like my friend's computer or whatever she had on her
Apple ID so it would look like I was at my friend's house.
And I would just go out with him for about three months
telling my parents every Friday that I,
that I was at my friend's house.
And this was working.
And he like had this really crazy,
or he would call her crazy, ex-girlfriend.
We'll call her Kate.
So he would say how Kate is like crazy
and she would always be messaging him.
And I was like, "Oh my goodness, like she's insane."
So that was like,
just an on-going issue.
And so one day,
I got a text from my dad and he was asking me where I was.
And I was like, "Oh I'm at my friend's house."
And he was like, "No you're not, your car's not there."
And I was like, "Oh no, we're going out somewhere,
"we're gonna be back."
And he was like, "Okay, be back in 10 minutes."
And I was like oh my goodness because
he lived like 40 minutes away.
And I was like, oh I'm so screwed.
So I like get in the car
and I like speed, I'm literally going so fast
on the freeway.
Like speeding, like going around and it's like 11
and I was like oh my goodness, I'm so screwed.
So I get home and I'm like, "Hi."
And my parents are like, "So where were you?"
And I was like, "Oh I was at my friend's house."
And they were like, "Really?"
And I was like, "Yeah."
And they go, "Are you sure?"
And I was like, "No, I was at," we'll call him Richard.
"I was at Richard's house."
And then that's when everything went downhill.
So I thought my life couldn't get worse from that point,
'cause they took away my phone and then my car.
And I was like, oh my goodness.
Oh also, I was grounded for like three months.
I couldn't go anywhere but school and my house
and my mom had to start driving me my senior year
of high school.
It was so embarrassing.
And I got a flip phone.
It was so bad.
My best friend runs over to my house the next morning
and he was like, "Bethany you have to like,
"I have to tell you something."
And I was like, "What?"
Basically, he found out from my other friend
that Richard had been cheating on me with Kate,
the crazy ex-girlfriend, for like two months.
And I was such a mess because I didn't have my phone,
which is like my life.
And I didn't have anything and I was grounded
so I was like oh my goodness.
Then the next day, Richard comes to my house at night.
Trying to explain himself.
His mom drove him, by the way.
His mom was like waiting on the other side of the street,
so it was kind of embarrassing.
And he just tried explaining himself
and then my dad comes home.
And this is the first time my dad meets Richard.
So it was just horrible timing.
And was literally dressed in
my fluffy pajamas and everything.
He shows up to my house and he's like,
"Okay, like let me explain."
And I was like, "There's nothing to explain."
And I made him show me all the text messages they had
with each other.
And I was just like, "Why?"
And he was like, "Oh, I wanted you and her!"
And I was like.
"That makes no sense."
And it was just like, I made him cry, I forgot what I said
'cause I just kind of went off.
And I made him cry and then after Richard got
into his mommy's car and they drove off,
I went inside and I just like cried.
But it's okay, 'cause I'm okay now.
Now Richard is TikTok and Instagram famous.
(laughs)
And it's so bad.
Like there's so many other things I could say about him
that are so embarrassing.
But I feel like I shouldn't say them.
But like, it was just really said 'cause I like,
my boyfriend cheated on me.
And I didn't have my phone.
And I didn't have my car, and I couldn't go out.
So it was just a rough three months.
But it's okay.
'Cause it's the past and it's okay now, so.
It's just that I see him on TikTok sometimes and it's like.
And that is my break up horror story.
- Hi, I'm Katlyn, and I'm gonna be telling you
my break up horror story.
I was I think about 12, since I was in sixth grade.
And in middle school you're very,
at least I was very flirty.
And so there was this guy in my class who I liked and
I thought he liked me.
And we both went to the same school,
which was across from our sibling's school.
And that day it was I think like a parent meeting.
So we walked across and we were talking
and then we talked some more and
I think I was giving him my phone number.
So he gave me the phone number.
And we were walking back to where our parents was
and he goes, "Do you wanna be my girlfriend?"
And I go, "Sure."
That's it, I just say sure because in my head I was like
freaking out and I thought I said sure like sure.
And I went over and I told my mom and she was like, "Cool,"
while she was talking to his mom.
Then I went to go tell some friends who was also there.
And they were like, "Ooh, you're dating somebody."
We kind of just talked and flirted.
And then that passed and we went to school
and it was about a week or two.
And we were just talking and flirting,
nothing really big happened.
We never really went on a date.
And we went to our school.
They have this camp thing at the school where
you go and you set up camp
and then you sleep there overnight
and then you wake up, eat breakfast, and then you leave.
So we were over there and we were walking and talking
and we were hanging out, setting up camp,
and going on the playground and talking to our friends.
We were just like on the,
there's this little car thing, it's kind of like metal.
But we were just sitting there and it was just like
a metal outline of a car
and we were talking while our friends
was over there teasing us.
Making jokes.
And he was like, "Well I have to go now."
So he leaves and he texts me,
we're just saying bye.
And he texts me, "I love you."
I don't know what to say,
I normally don't know how to talk to people anyways.
So I just reply back, "Love you too."
I kind of like had a feeling that
something was gonna be weird after I told him I love you,
since, it's I love you and we're in middle school
in sixth grade.
So I was like, okay,
it's gonna be weird.
But we're gonna deal with it, it's gonna be whatever.
So the day continues and I eat dinner,
I try not to bring it up, I try to ignore it.
Talk to my friends, go on the playground,
go on the jungle gym.
Whatever, just forget that it ever happened.
I went to bed, woke up.
Since the school is right across
from where we went to school,
our friends were there.
I can't tell if it was that day
or if it was the next morning.
But they came over and my friend, she was like,
"He's gonna tell you I love you.
"Don't say it back."
And the reason why she would know is 'cause she was
his ex-girlfriend.
So, she was like, "He's gonna say I love you.
"Don't say it back.
"He doesn't really mean it, he just wants to
"I guess see your reaction."
So I was like, "Sure," knowing I already said it.
Acting as if I didn't.
He came back for breakfast to pick up his brother.
And we talked and we ate breakfast and
everything seemed normal.
He was going home.
I was in my car, driving, which was only about
10 minutes away.
And he texts me,
"We have to break up because I like someone else."
I was sad for a good about four hours.
I was sad during the whole car ride home.
I sat down, in my room, closed the door,
and just sat there.
I don't even, I think I literally just sat there.
I didn't do anything, I just was sitting there.
Just waiting for I don't know what.
It feels like a horror break up story because
I started dating my friend's ex which
everyone already knows is a big no
and that you shouldn't date your friend's ex.
But I did it anyways.
It was my first like boyfriend
and my first like time dating someone,
even though we never went on dates.
And so I thought like, "Oh, we're gonna end up being
"together forever."
And that didn't happen 'cause it only lasted about a week.
At most.
And that is my break up horror story.
