In the book, she said that she was fearful of his response if she ended things because “previously, self-harm and suicide threats had come about from trivial circumstances.”

Two days after that call, Pete officially broke up with her in a text message. But the pain didn’t end there. The following day, Cazzie learned that her ex was in a relationship with Ariana and had already covered up his tattoos of her.

For Cazzie, it was hard to stop the footage playing in her mind of Pete and Ariana “immediately falling in love, accompanied by audio of her baby voice whispering sweet nothings in his ear, dubbed over his past declarations of love and trust to me.”

When her ex and Ariana broke off their engagement after five months of dating, however, Cazzie and Pete were finally able to become friends again.
