Twenty
How could she do this to me? I trusted her. She was offended when I hadn't trusted her straight away. Now I knew I couldn't at all. I had no idea what Josh's deal was though. I had no idea why he had convinced me that we had slept together when it was now clear we hadn't done anything of the sort. Well, nothing since we were friends with benefits, that is. I stormed out of my room and into the hallway, ready to punch a wall with frustration. Neither of them noticed me standing right behind them, listening to everything they that was said.
"Look I'm sorry," Josh said, "but you're the one who told me to make it go away, so I did. I made it go away,"
"By pretending to sleep with her?" She shouted, "I didn't want-"
She froze as soon as she saw me, panicking like I was a crazy serial killer.
"Oh shit," she muttered, "how much did you hear?"
What kind of question was that? It shouldn't of mattered how much I heard. She should be obligated to tell me the truth. Why wouldn't she tell me the truth? I knew that I still didn't know something. I could tell it was huge because neither or them had said it outright.
"Enough to know you haven't told me everything," I shot back, "You'll tell me, won't you Josh?"
It wasn't really a question, it was more of a threat. He knew that it was a good idea to do what I say when I was pissed off, he knew what I was capable of. Amber knew too. In fact, she knew that better than anyone but she had gotten so good at lying even I couldn't tell when she was being truthful anymore.
Amber shook her head at him violently.
"Don't," she pleaded, "please just don't,"
I was half expecting to get down on her knees and beg him not to tell me anything. Josh didn't take any notice of her. Eventually he caved.
"I may have slept with Amber that night, not you," he said under his breath.
Suddenly it all fit together like puzzle pieces. How could she do that? How could she lie to me about something so huge? She led me on and the worst part was I believed her. If she had of told me when I had said I thought I was pregnant, I would have been a lot less angry.
This was possibly the worst thing that could have happened-other than me being pregnant. Amber and Josh though? It wasn't possible. Amber had a boyfriend and Josh...well...he was Josh.
"I will never forgive you for this," I screamed.
I didn't bother to hold back nor did I care how loud I was. This was serious. The tears had started up again but this time it wasn't because I was scared, it was because I was just very very hurt. I had a right to be too. She had had lied to me not once but twice. She had had multiple chances to explain. Instead, she had made up something to save her bony ass.
