Twenty-One
"K, I never meant to hurt you," she said.
She placed a hand on my shoulder in an attempt to calm me down. I shrugged it off and glared at her. It didn't matter whether or not she meant to hurt me. The point was that she did hurt me in the first place. There was nothing she could say or do that would make me feel any better.
"Just...get out," I whispered behind gritted teeth.
I was doing my best not to explode with anger but I found it considerably difficult.
"Are you serious? You're pushing all the blame on me? What about Josh?" She argued, "It's just as much his fault as it is mine, if not more,"
"Yeah but I expected this from Josh. Please just go,"
"Will you just give me a chance to explain?"
She didn't deserve to have a chance to explain. I couldn't even look at her as I pointed to the stairs. She didn't leave right away. It was as if she thought I was suddenly going to be okay with how manipulative she was and hear her out. That was never going to happen. As soon as she was halfway down the stairs, I ran back into my room and slammed my door in Josh's face. If I didn't have ethics I would have bitch slapped him. I kicked my legs up and down like a tantrum throwing toddler and muffled my rage by screaming into my pillow. It was now that I realised I really had no one. I didn't have Josh and now, I didn't have Amber either. I was fine with it, really. It was better this way. I wouldn't have to trust anyone because there wouldn't be anyone to trust.
As I lay face down on my bed, contemplating whether or not to just to become Agoraphobic and stay in my room for the rest of my life, I heard my phone go off. I outstretched an arm towards my bedside table and unsuccessfully grabbed at the spot where I thought it was. I lifted my head up slightly and finally managed to use my feet to bring it close enough so I wouldn't have to move. It was an unknown number. I wanted to answer it in case it was important but I knew it could be anyone. It could be Amber or even Josh using someone else's phone. I let it ring a couple more times before finally picking up. I let the other person speak first in case it was Josh or Amber.
"Hello?" The voice on the other end had an Irish accent.
I thought for a minute, trying to figure out who I knew who had such a sexy accent.
I stopped myself as I realised who it was. Shit, pissed off or not pissed off it was wrong to go after your best friend's boyfriend. Then I remembered that he didn't know anything about what had happened. He was totally in the dark. I tried to imagine what he would say if he found out. I sat there a minute, wondering whether or not I should be the one to tell him his girl was a cheating liar. Amber and I were not best friends anymore so it wouldn't matter if I did. Sweet revenge was only a sentence or two away.
