Fenix drives me to the park where they try to get me to talk. We're both sitting at a picnic table and I'm still crying. "All I want to do right now is cry'' I say as another tear comes out of my eye and rolls down my face. "Actually you know? I want to punch something" I say. "Okay if that's what you need right now then ok" Fenix says.
After another five minutes I'm over it.
She doesn't get to use me anymore, she doesn't deserve any tears. "Ok I'm ready to talk," I say, wiping the tears off of my face with my hand. "So why did you guys break up?" Fenix says brushing a strand of hair out of my face. "You know last night?" I said looking at them. "Yeah what about it?" Fenix said with a puzzled look on their face. "North and East switched places for our dates'' I said and looked at them. They had a look of disbelief on their face. "I don't believe you," Fenix said a little defensively.
"What was North...really East wearing last night?" I said looking at them knowing I looked like a wreck. "NORTH was wearing a long skirt with... I interrupt them "Flowers on it, a black shirt, and a new jean jacket." "How did you know?" Fenix said looking at me. "Because it's the outfit that she wore on our first date. I said I really liked it and she said that she would wear it again" I say sadly. "That doesn't prove anything," Fenix says. "If you know North the way I think you do then would she wear an outfit like that?" I ask looking at them with a red face, red eyes and my fists clenched.
We sit in silence and I wait for them to answer.
"No.." Fenix says, looking disappointed. "So what they switched places, what's the big whoop?" Fenix says defensively. "The big whoop was last night I thought she told me she loved me.....and I said it back, but it was actually North" I say looking at the ground and balling my fist up. "Oh, Iris I'm so sorry. That's why you were so upset" Fenix says. "You should be upset too, they used us for their personal experiment" I say, standing and throwing my hands in the air.
Fenix says something in Spanish that I can't understand. "Fenix please speak English so I can understand what name you're calling those weasels!" I say. "Nasty rats!" She screams while getting up to stand next to me. I sit down at the table, deflated. "The one time I trust someone" I say and put my hand on my forehead. Fenix sits down next to me. "It's not your fault, they used us," Fenix says, putting a hand on my arm. "The next time I see them they better be ready" I say balling my fist. "Why, what are you going to do?" Fenix says looking at my fist. "You'll see" I say, standing up and heading to the car.
