The day it all went down.

I still remember the day my old life was taken away from me. I just moved out of my parents' place and into my own. With roommates, of course.

Robbie, Molly, and Pete are old friends from my school days. Robbie Rylance has been my best friend since our kindergarten days, Molly is an ex that I’ve been able to stay good friends with, and Pete was my old track buddy during high school.

I had started work at a local pizza joint, and had already started making some good money from it. I had lived here for about a month and had been working at the pizza joint for about 4 weeks.

It was a Saturday morning when my phone went off before my alarm. I checked, and it turned out to be an email that would change my life forever.

I remember being excited. I barely ever received emails of any kind, aside from those useless emails about how your favorite YouTuber had just uploaded a new video.

Compared to what I actually got, I would've much rather received that YouTube shit.

Inside was an email from Austin, entitled 'I Don't Think So'. Inside was a trove of text messages, pictures, phone call recordings, and basically anything else that could be recorded and put on file, of my conversations with Brittany.

At the bottom of the email was a written message from Austin, threatening to forward everything to my friends, family, classmates, co-workers, teachers, and even my boss, unless I did exactly what he told me to do.

I quickly responded to him, "What do you want from me? Those can't be released!"
