Little Lies

3. Sweet Revenge

I don't know what I was expecting when I walked through my front door, but if I did know, then this is exactly what I would've expected.

Make it make sense.

"Seriously?" I scoff as my eyes land on my ex and my roommate, making out on the couch. They're not even trying to hide the fact that they are sleeping together! Are they trying to flaunt it or something? Because the only thing it's successful at is pissing me the fuck off. "You guys are a different fucking breed."

Alex looks up at me with wide eyes, only just realising my presence. He instantly pushes Josie off of him and stands from the couch, looking very much awkward and embarrassed. It's like couch guy all over again - but make it ten times worse. "Phoebe's, I didn't know you'd be over tonight..." He scratches the back of his head, and gives me a sheepish look.

Fuck, he probably feels sorry for me because he thought I was going to spend the night with someone. But instead I'm walking into my dorm, not having caught any dick besides an extremely awkward encounter with my to be one night stands brother, only to find the two people who I hate most in the world right now in my space of tranquility. This will not do.

"Piss of with your Phoebe's bullshit," I seethe, "you know, normally people feel guilty after they cheat on someone, but you just seem to be embracing it fully."

"Move on Phoebe," Josie has the audacity to roll her eyes at me, "wouldn't you rather be finding someone else rather than pitying yourself?"

Josie used to be one of my close friends. We shared a dorm last year and made so many memories, so we thought, why not share again? Biggest fucking mistake of my life. Little did I know, that every time I brought my boyfriend over, she and him were having something behind my back. And I was too blind to see. Never will I make that mistake again.

"Fuck you!" I flick my middle finger up at her.

"I don't think that was called for," Alex says.

I turn to him. "Fuck you!"

He looks shocked that I swore at him, and I must say it's one of the most satisfying things I've ever seen in my life. "I'm moving out." I announce.

Did I think about that before I said it? No, no I didn't. But I said it anyway, and now I'm rolling with it.

"What?" Josie screeches. "You can't do that! Who's going to pay the other half of the rent?" Her face is stained a red - almost purple - colour. And her head looks like it might just explode. Ah, sweet revenge.

"Not my problem, you can deal with that shit yourself."

"You're not being fair on Josie," Alex looks at me with pleading eyes. "You're being kind of selfish."

He did not just say that.

"I cannot believe I actually dated you." I scoff before turning around and storming into my bedroom, slamming the door behind me.

***

By the morning, I've already packed my whole room up into various bags and suitcases. Luckily I don't own that much, otherwise I would've been screwed.

Slipping silently through my door, I make my way to the front door and open it. "Bitch, let's get you the fuck out of this shit hole." Rory pushes her way inside and grabs some of my bags, plonking them onto the trolley outside.
