9. Betrayed

As I walk out of the hospital, I get a text from Nick:

Nick: Hey, babe.

Me: Don't babe me, you said you would apologize not fight James.

Nick: That's his name?! Lol, are you defending the nerd?

Me: No I'm defending COMMON SENSE, you don't go bully other people for no reason. What has gotten into you?

Nick: Okay, I'm sorry. I love you Alexis and your the only one I want to be with. Can I make it up to you? You know Jess, the guy on my team, he is hosting a party tonight, want to come?

Me: I have things to do, sorry. But I forgive you. Please don't do anything like that again. I love you.

I close my phone and go home.

When I open the front door, I get greeted with a friendly smile from very familiar faces.

Tess and Amanda.

"Hi Alexis" my best friends say in unison.

"Hey gals" I greet them.

"We're here to take you shopping. Okay?" Amanda says as she grabs my arm.

"You guys are crazy, it's like 9:00pm" I say.

"Oh my godness, did the queen of shopping just say no to shopping?" Tess says puzzled.

Then Tess and Amanda look at themselves then look at me with a miscellaneous smile.

Suddenly, they bounce on me, causing me to land on the sofa hard. Then start tickling me, knowing my weak spot.

I start laughing, knowing not how to stop.

"Fine, fine, I'll go shopping with you guys, please stop" I surrender.

"Yay!" Amanda squeals.

Fifteen minutes later, we arrive in the shopping centre's parking lot.

"Where should we go first" Tess says, parking the car.

"What about American Eagle?" Amanda suggests.

"Okay, I'll go wherever" I say.

We enter the shopping centre and go into the American Eagle store.

"Alexis, what about this?" Amanda asks, holding a pink sundress.

"It's nice, but where are you going to where that? Remember, we where uniforms" I remind her.

"I know that, silly, I'm going to Jess's party tonight, aren't you?" Amanda asks.

"No I'm not going Amanda. I don't want to. I have a test tomorrow on one of the hardest books to study ever and your expecting me to go to a party?"

"Did you just turn down party for homework?!" Tess joins the conversation.

"Your going the the party. Okay?" Tess adds.

"Fine, then let me try on that dress" I point to pink dress that Amanda was holding.

"There's my girl! Where going to have so much fun" Amanda says, little did she know, this would turn out to be a disaster.

I arrive in front of a mansion but not as big as mine, I step into a party zone. Meaning, loud music, drunk people and a foul smell of sweat mixed with what smells like vomit

Amanda and Tess tell me their going to get drinks and leave me. I'm probably going to have to drive tonight...

I spot Nick dancing like crazy, he's probably drunk.

"Hey Nick" I try to scream to be heard over the loud music.

"You came! Come dance with me" He takes both of my arms and starts dancing.

"Nick I don't want to dance, can we just find somewhere quiet to talk or something" My headache returning.

Nick didn't seem to listen because he just continued dancing, that's when I decided to go to that quiet place by myself.

I walk to the backyard and take a deep breath. My head pounding.

When I finally am able to handle the ear bleeding sound of the party music, I go into the house.

I have a sudden feel to go to the washroom so I decide to go upstairs where I find multiple rooms.

I open a door, just a bed room

I open another door, just a bedroom.

Then I open another door, it was just a bedroom but it contained something way more disturbing then that...

My jaw drops when I see two familiar faces.

Amanda and Nick were kissing.

No, not kissing.

They were making out.

When I open the door, their heads snapped back and they looked at me in shock.

I can't believe it. I decide to leave without saying a word, before the water works started.

I hear a fade female voice in the distance.

"Alexis! It's not what you think it is" Amanda says then Nick yells a couple of cusses, clearly frustrated, but I'm already gone.

I start the car. When I reach a red light, I start crying my heart out.

How could she do that to me?

How could my best friend since grade school betray me like that?

How on this earth did the boy that I love the most and could tell everything to betray me.

They betrayed me after all I sacrificed for them.

They betrayed me.

Those ungrateful little brats betrayed me.

Nick and Amanda are betrayed me, and I can never forgive them.

When I arrive home, I don't bother talking to my father but I go to my room and call the one person that I have grown to really trust.

James.
