My Indecisive Heart

Chapter 25 - Our Trio

"It all makes sense now."

"What makes sense?" I asked Morowa whose jaw was dropped to the floor. One would think she saw the late Michael Jackson. She stared at Sienna, her eyes trailing her till she got into her fancy BMW and rode away.

Morowa looked at me and cupped my face in her palms. "That's why Sarah has been avoiding us. She knew she did a miserable job snatching your ex-boyfriend and now, she's too ashamed to look you in the eye." Morowa said and snapped her fingers like someone who'd just discovered the cure for cancer.

"You're unbelievable. Yes, she betrayed me. But I don't think that'll make her avoid us, right?" I asked and Morowa shrugged as she reclined the passenger seat to her taste. "She did say she was going to explain something right? The day she kicked us out of her house, remember?" I recalled, trying to place the pieces back together. I often blame my dad for passing on his bad memory gene.

"She did say that." Morowa hummed in thought before she continued. "Let's go to her, Kay. We'll meet Sarah and curse at her." Morowa's anger was highly justified. My best friend, no, our best friend had betrayed both of us. She broke the ultimate girl code and went after my boyfriend. Well, he's my ex now, but still.

"There's no need for that Morie," I told her, my lips quivering due to the tears I've been shedding. She tried to put up an argument but eventually gave in after seeing my state. My heart ached at the thought of what just happened. This not only ruined our friendship, but it ruined my relationship with Isaac. I'd found out that I loved him. We kissed and, I was ready to give up every other romantic relationship I had with anyone else other than him. On that same day, I found out he had not only cheated on me with my best friend, but she was the one he supposedly loved. Hot tears streamed down my face and I clutched my fists in hurt and anger.

Morowa offered to drive me home. Unfortunately, she could not spend the night at my place because her brother was ill. It was fine though. I loved the efforts she made just to see me getting better and I could not be happier to have a friend like her. At least she didn't kiss my boyfriend.

I got home later than expected and was especially relieved when I noticed my parents weren't home yet. I sluggishly went up the stairs and into my room to get ready for the long night ahead.

After showering with boiling water to relieve my stress, I put on my unicorn onesie and went downstairs to grab the largest bowl of ice cream I could find. Yes, I was planning to cry, watch Never Have I Ever, and stuff my mouth with mint chocolate chip ice cream as I reminisced my favorite memories of Isaac and Sarah. After a while, I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up the next morning, squinting my poor eyes due to the bright light radiating from the blinds. I shuffled in my position to seek lesser light but, the universe was against it. Just then, the beeping and vibrations from the alarm I set the previous night rang loudly, trashing every thought of getting any more sleep. Reluctantly, I got up and began my morning routine. It was a Saturday and I planned to study for the finals, that's if I would be able to focus. I mean, why wouldn't I? I lost Peter, Isaac, and my best friend, Sarah in a day. That wouldn't mess with my attention span. Naturally, I was a nerd, and Peterson and I usually squabbled for the top position. Most times, I'll come first, other times I let him have it. But now, I was mad. I planned to study and beat his sorry ass, in academics of course.

Peter disrespected Isaac, and for some reason, I was disgusted by the thought of him. I stopped loving him a long time ago. I was overwhelmed by his sincerity and tolerance and I chose to date him, again when my heart belonged to another.

I connected my earbuds to my phone through Bluetooth and listened to Lana Del Ray as I brushed my teeth. After completing my morning routine, I changed into a white maxi skirt and a beige crop top. I was making my way downstairs for breakfast when I heard my phone ring. It was Morowa.

"Hey. Good morning." I greeted faintly. She wasn't supposed to call. I told her I wanted to be left alone and she was fine with that. Then again, I suppose I don't mind if she checks on me once in a while.

"Hi. Sarah says she wants to see you." Morowa said through the speakers, her voice shaking.

"Sarah said what?" I asked, the pitch of my voice getting higher.

"Can we just meet, please? She probably has something to say to you." Morowa persuaded, and I gave in. Perhaps all I needed to hear was a denial from Sarah.

"I guess I could. Where are you?"

"Starbucks. I could wait here if you'd like?"

"Okay then."

"I'll just text Sarah to meet up here." She finalized and I hung up.

Well, change of plans. I had my breakfast and went up to my room to fix myself. I took out my phone and sent my mom a text that I'd be heading out. After ensuring I locked the doors, I got in my car and drove to where Morowa and I agreed to meet. Upon getting there, I stepped out and locked my car, making a beeping sound. I looked around to make sure I hadn't drawn any attention to me and after confirming, I headed inside.

I looked around and saw Morowa's head of braids and went up to her. Getting closer, I spotted Sarah and was about to turn back and head home. I wasn't ready for this. Before I could, she spotted me and hurriedly approached me. I took a step away from her, for I was hurt.

"Kay." She uttered. Her short blonde hair had outgrown its usual length and now, it was a little below her shoulders. Her eye bags became more obvious and her skin, paler. What happened?

"Hey." I managed to say and took a seat, not wanting to stand next to her for longer.

We all sat down, and suddenly, I missed our trio. Where did our friendship all go wrong? When we became best friends, we made a pact- to never let any guy come in between us and here we are now, broken all because of one guy. But then again, Isaac isn't just one guy. Morowa broke the silence and disrupted my thoughts as she started speaking.

"Why, we didn't come here to stare now, did we?" She asked, sounding sarcastic and annoyed.

Sarah glanced at me awkwardly before speaking. Hmph. "I heard you saw the video of Isaac and I ki- kiss-"

"Kissing." I interrupted and she nodded. Her eyes widened and she looked at me with a newfound confidence.

"We kissed, but he doesn't love me. I drugged him that night."

Morowa and I made eye contact before shouting 'what?' on impact. Sarah took a deep breath and continued with her confession.

"I was jealous of your relationship with him, and I had a whole plan to destroy it. So, I drugged him and he mistook me for you and that dumbass willingly made out with m-"

I shut her up by taking the glass of water on the table and dumping it on her face. "I despise you." I cursed and walked away. I was about to drive home when Sarah rushed out the doors with Morowa struggling to hold her back. She tapped on my window and I paid no heed.

"I liked him first. Why do you get to date him, huh? And you have Peter. Leave Isaac alone! I deserve him!" She shouted at me through the car windows and I drove away.
