"It's not that deep?! You are so fucking obsessed, it's infuriating!" Skye snapped

What?!

It took more than just a few seconds for me to get over those words that Skye had hurled at me.

To say I was pained was an understatement to the wave of emotions I was feeling. I felt extremely embarrassed and I knew this was just the beginning. I still couldn't imagine that she was blowing this entire issue out of proportion and I haven't even started speaking.

She only knew that I had gone to their house and I was there with Khalil and this was her reaction?

What was the big deal?

It only made me wonder how Mateo had painted the scenario to them. Something he knew absolutely nothing about.

On another hand, maybe it was just Skye that was being extremely extra about it.

"Hey! What the fuck is going on?!" Jamal's voice boomed across the room, shutting Skye and Mateo up. His voice held confusion and annoyance all together. Skye grimaced, turning to glare at me while I swallowed the sudden lump in my throat.

"Do you want to tell him or should I?" Skye asked, the anger in her voice undiluted. I was pretty annoyed myself. Why was she being so dramatic?

"Skye, you don't know the entire story." I tried to make my voice as calm as possible as I replied her.

"I don't know how Mateo painted it to you but he doesn't even know anything. I was at your house while you were still in England, big deal."

"You were at the house?" Jamal asked me, his confused expression very much evident and before I could even answer, Skye jumped in.

"You forgot to add that you were alone with Khalil." She stated, calling Khalil's name like it disgusted her and my face scrunched up in a frown just about the same way Jamal's face did. He peered at me, a deep frown on his face.

"You were at the house alone with Khalil? Why were you at the house alone with Khalil?" He asked me frantically, searching my eyes and I sighed, wondering how messed up this entire situation had gotten.

This wasn't how I wanted to tell Jamal.

"Yes, she was at the house and Mateo met her there." Skye spat out again. Whatever anger she was feeling was practically oozing out and I could smell it. I hated the fact that she was there, cutting in, not allowing me to talk to Jamal alone.
