Is This the Right Way?

38

15 minutes later, I'm still sitting on the bench when Carla comes running up to me, and gives me a big hug. I guess Alex told her. She sits down next to me and looks at me for a minute.
"So... you and Cole...kissed?" She asks
"Uh, yeah" I answer "why?"
"Um, well..." She's looking around nervously. "I... we... um..."
"You what?" I ask quizzically.
"I'm... dating Cole"
My jaw drops and I'm left speechless. This can't be right. But how could I be so clueless? how could I not see the warning signs?
The way he looked at her that night, his reaction when I told them it was actually Carla, not Talia. The way she acted when I asked her to go to his baseball game. How they hugged right there in front of me. How could I have been so blind?

All I can manage to get out my mouth is "but..."
She can't love him. He's known to break girls hearts. Today has been such a crazy day, and it's only 10 am.
..............
I walk up to Cole's house, and knock. As hard as I possibly can. He's already said 'one minute!' But I continue to knock and get my anger out. He's home alone, with his parents at work.
He opens the door with "What the hell do you want?" But once he sees me he instantly apologizes. I can tell that he was just in the shower, his hair still dripping wet.
"You" I say with such fierceness, that I scare myself a little.
"You come back into my life, then make out with me, when you KNOW I have a boyfriend, the you go and start getting all flirty and date my best friend! What is wrong with you! When you came back, I thought it would be great, but all your doing is messing up my life even more!"
I can tell he's shaken by what just came out of my mouth. I honestly am a little scared of what's taking over me.
"How do you know about Carla?" He asks.
"Did you think I would never find out, you idiot?"
"Well..." he starts
"Oh just shut it." I snap back.
"I just want you to know that you came back into my life for the worse, not the better."
He's left there, shocked at how I just lectured him like that.
"Thank you very much" I say, slam the door closed, and walk back to my house. Sure I feel terrible for what I've done, but can you blame me?
