"Oh, umm, it looks like you two know each other..." Madelyn said, shocked.
"Mads, how do we tell ya this...Well, Sera, why don't you tell everyone?" Dess clenched her jaw, looking at me.
"What the fuck is happening, guys? Am I the only one here who's confused?" asked Drew, completely unaware of the happening situation.
"No, I'm confused too!" said JD.
"Me three," said Madison.
"Me four!" Austin shouted.
"Can we talk for a minute?" Iridessa faked a smile and grabbed my hand, dragging me to a quieter place.
I didn't know what to do or what to say. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't confess the true reason why I disappeared. I knew she would blame me for not telling her something so traumatizing.
"Listen here, little traitor, don't think you can come back to our lives like nothing happened! You left us," Dess started counting on her fingers, "alone, confused, heartbroken," she frustratedly shook her head, "I can't believe after our 6-year friendship you can abandon us without any hesitation. Have you ever cared about someone else but you? Have you thought about how we felt? Huh? Sera, you can't just end a friendship like that. The worst way you can leave someone is in silence. I think we deserved at least an explanation, don't ya think? Oh, right! You don't care about what we deserve or want! You only care about your goddamn self!" she shouted in my face and pointed a finger at me.
She left me completely speechless. My eyes felt sore and tears were forming in my eyes, because of my ex-best friend's attitude. I felt like I was slowly falling into the same dark hole that was eating me inside... I remembered my promise to myself, moments ago when I thought no one would ruin my night. I couldn't keep my promise because my dumb self already messed it up. My stupid decisions...
"What is it, S? Not you acting like you feel guilty... Honey, drop the act! I ain't buying that!" said Dess as a tear rolled down my soft cheek, "Sera, I'm not naive. You can cry or whatever but I said I'm not buying that!"
I wiped my tear away, suddenly feeling ashamed of showing that I'm weak. I faked a smile as I said: "It was very lovely to see you Dess, I missed you. I've been doing like shit, thanks for asking! I've been diagnosed with depression and still take antidepressants," I scoffed, "I didn't tell you or Ru anything because I fucking didn't want to feel like a burden. Have a nice night, darling!" I snapped and was ready to leave until she quickly grabbed my wrist.
"Sera, I had no idea..."
"Yeah, tell me about it! You can go and hook up with Rudy now, maybe that will make you feel better!" I got out of her hold and ran to the club's bathroom.
Once I saw myself in the mirror, I wanted to cry again. I always have to ruin everything...
I almost forgot how it felt to be around Dessa... I always compare ourselves. I knew that I shouldn't but it happened automatically. Today she wore an incredibly stunning auburn brown velvet dress. It perfectly fitted her body and highlighted her extremely beautiful figure. Meanwhile, I was in a basic black shirt and red skirt. I wouldn't be surprised if no one would look at me when she was there. Boys usually pick girls like her. I knew I was pretty, but she had a better body figure and a special charm.
