Dramatic Summer Love Story

Bloody Ugly Scene

The kitchen smells like vanilla and pancakes, mostly because Chloe's mom is making some pancakes, we sit quietly around the kitchen table waiting for breakfast. Last night was crowded, they didn't trust themselves to go home yet so they got to sleep over at Chloe's with me and Chloe. I still haven't contacted Thomas and I have no reason to be but I do feel bad for him, I mean maybe I do have a reason because his best friends have been lying to him for a few months and they still haven't told him, not my story, not my place to say anything, so I just have to wait until either Gabe and Martina tell Thomas, or he finds out.
We hear a knock on the door and Chloe's dad, Arnel, runs to the door to see who it is, we hear him and another person talk quietly, and then the door closes. We wait for Arnel to return to ask him who it was, we expect him to be alone but he walks past the kitchen, and then in the doorway comes Thomas, his face says a lot, his eyebrows are twisted down and his face is red.
We don't want the kitchen getting too packed so Chloe stands up and leads us into her room. I stand close to Thomas who paces around the room, I see his hand is balled up into a fist and he's bound to explode any second now. Everyone is silent waiting for someone to speak up, Thomas is probably waiting for an explanation but when too much time in silence has passed he stops and does explode, just not in a loud way.
"What the fuck is wrong with you, both of you! You had a boyfriend, and you knew about it!" Thomas whisper-yells at his friends so he doesn't cause Chloe's parents to wonder what's happening. "Why would you do something like that? Was Tim just not enough? Then why didn't you just break up with him!?" Thomas keeps on asking them questions but never gives them a chance to answer and explain.
I walk to Thomas and put my hand on his chest. "Calm down, breathe, let them explain," I say to him softly but he tries to break away from me.
"Back off, you have no idea how it feels to have your best friends fucking lie to you for months, and then when everyone else knows they don't even have the decency to tell you themselves, they let me find out from her boyfriend they cheated on and who was looking for them to fuck up!" He says to me and I feel bad for him but I can't let him tell it his best friends like this, they need to talk normally, without any raised voices.
"You're right I don't know how it is but-" I don't get farther because he pushes me away, my feelings are hurt but I know he's not mad at me and he didn't do that deliberately because he's not thinking straight, he needs air. I try one more time to talk to him, to get him to go outside with me to take a breather but he doesn't listen as he continues to make it known to Gabe and Martina that he's hurt from what they did. In the middle of a sentence, he stops grabs his jacket, he threw on Chloe's bed, and storms out of the room. I want to yell after him but I don't want Chloe's parents to ask questions so I have to let him go.
"I'm going to talk to him," Gabe says and grabs his stuff, and runs out behind him to try and catch up.
That leaves us, girls, alone, we barely know each other so we don't say much, we have breakfast and get dressed, pretty much all in silence, that's the theme until Martina leaves with her dad she called to pick her up.
"This shits fucking confusing and is giving me a headache," I chuckle as we get dressed to go over to Thomas's and check on how the boys are doing.
"I just wanted a relaxing day of hanging out and doing nothing." Chloe sighs jokingly.
We walk to Thomas and when we see that his dad isn't home we walk straight in, we don't bother with knocking. It's a good sign that we can't hear any yelling or stuff being thrown around, but it could also indicate that they have killed each other. But we see that hasn't happened when we walk downstairs and see that they sit on Thomas's bed playing GTA together.
"Hey," They both say when they see us come inside the room.
"Are you good? Have you talked things out?" I ask as I take off my jacket. They both nod and I climb onto the bed to Thomas and make myself comfortable in between his legs while he plays.
"Where's Martina?" Game questions us.
"She left and went home with her dad." Chloe answers, Gabe seems okay with that and doesn't ask anything else about her. Everyone talks quietly seeming a bit tired from all the stress and arguments. I yawn and slowly stop taking part in the conversation and feel my eyes grow heavier as I lay comfortably in between Thomas's legs.
