For how long? (ON GOING)

Chapter 40

"Seriously guys, y'all are scaring me with the look on your faces, it's like I'm being summoned to the principals office" Mandy chuckled

"It's not funny Amanda Bright" Elsa called out

"Okay now you're acting like my mum"

"Why didn't you tell us?" Chloe

"Clearly she doesn't trust us after everything we've faced together" Elsa rolled her eyes

"That's not true at all Elsa, what exactly are you on about?" she turned to look at Chloe then Bells who gave her a knowing look

"I told them Amanda"

"Told them what?"

"The thing you told me about your parents" Amanda furrowed her brows trying to remember "the divorce". Bella spilled biting her lip and Amanda frowned at her.

"I told you something in my weak moment and you told others"

"Whoa! Hold it there for a second. What do you mean by others? we are your friends" Elsa

"We tell you everything Amanda, that's what friends do, confide in one another" Chloe

"It's not the same okay? I'm not you guys, I don't beg y'all to tell me your problems, you come on your own" she snapped shocking her friends "neither do I tell it to others" she gave Bella a dissapointed look before walking away.

"What the fuck was that for? She just insulted us" Elsa got up about to go after her

Chloe held her wrist stopping her. "Elsa wait don't be mad at Mandy she's just going through a phase, look she's hurting. She cares about us you know that. What we did wS wrong also, we would've supported her silently instead of confronting her"

Elsa pulled her wrist out of Chloe's grip "I don't know anything okay? and I didn't do anything wrong. Keep defending her. I'm no pushover like you" she walked away.

Chloe was shocked too blinking the tears in. "For what it's worth, You're not a pushover, you're just too emotional" Bella got up and left

"Now that I'm back, everything feels weird" Rita smiled looking around, she walked to her room and laid down. Her roommates were out, she had the room to herself.

Kay walked to the door, Rita looked at her and looked away. She hesitated for a while before going in.

"You're back"

"As you can see"

"This few days I've been reflecting on myself and I realized I've made a big mistake. Now I've lost everything and it occurred to me the things I've been trying to get and I was fighting for aren't the most important things... I was a total butch back then, but now I've put two and two together Rita, I've wronged you"

"You're here because you're alone and need someone to walk with you"

"It's not that, I missed you and I was thinking a lot too"

"Go straight to the point Kay"

"Please let me finish, I made a mistake okay. I treated you so bad and and.. She stammered

Rita smiled as she sat up on her bed "Are you trying to apologize?"

Kay nodded, Rita smiled "You really suck at it Kay"

"So?"

"So what? You haven't said you're sorry yet"

"But I've..."
