"Open the fucking door, Cassie," Maddy pounded a heavy fist on the door upstairs in Cassie's bathroom, where the blonde had retreated to after everything that just happened. "Open the door and tell me it was worth it. You owe me that," Maddy said before grabbing the doorknob and rattling it. "Open the fucking door, Cassie!"
"This is too much for me," Eliana threw herself back onto Cassie's bed while Maddy went at the door, Kat at her side trying to calm her down. The thing was, despite everything that came into light, Eliana still felt comfortable in the room and in the bedsheets she caressed as she listened to Maddy. But she knew this would be the last time they ⎯ she ⎯ would be in that room. Because if it was Fez that Cassie was fucking, she'd already be dead. "I can't breathe."
"You're next," Maddy tore her eyes away from the door to look at Eliana. "Miss hooking up with her ex."
Eliana, scoffed as she placed a hand over her heart. "Ouch," she whispered.
"What kind of fucking friend are you?" Maddy yelled back into the door. "What the fuck? This isn't about Nate. This is about you and me and our friendship, and if you wanna throw it away, then fine. 'Cause I don't wanna be fucking friends with you."
"Come here, babe," Kat whispered too. "Let it go."
"I'm just sick of it," Maddy said, a tear now coming down her cheek. "I'm sick of it. He put me through hell and now he's with my fucking best friend? Like, what the fuck?"
"It's fuckеd up," Kat nodded.
"It's mega fucked," Eliana agreed, rising from the bed. "You're lucky you ain't cross me!" Eliana yelled as she reached the door where Maddy and Kat were gathered, pointing a finger at the door as if it was really her friend, yet her phone was still in her hand as she waved it around. She imagined Cassie wasn't doing anything on the other side of the door except trying to block out what they were saying. "Hell... you'll be lucky if karma doesn't bite your ass immediately," she continued before turning and taking one last look at the room. The room where they had spent so much of their childhood, and yet it was all being thrown away. Slowly, she turned to Maddy and spoke almost coarsely, "I get it, I really do."
Maddy nodded, now obvious she was hurt. "When is it gonna end?"
"It's fuckеd up," Kat said again. Eliana leaned against the wall facing Kat. She nodded. As I said, if it was Fez instead of Nate, Eliana imagined she'd rip Cassie's head off herself. She couldn't imagine how Maddy felt.
Maddy continued rattling the doorknob. "Open the fucking door, Cassie! Open the fucking door!"
"She's not gonna open it," Kat said. "Let's just go."
"Open the door!" Maddy yelled, banging on it now.
"Maddy, come on."
"You're a fucking coward," Maddy decided. You're a fucking coward, and I would've never done this to you. I would've never done this to you."
