TW: References to getting outed
Izzy
Why have I agreed to this? I'm already having less than an ideal time at this competition. This will probably just make everything worse.
After getting through the last round, Winnie pulled me off to the side and asked if we could talk. At that point, I was just so tired. Tired of her. Tired of being confused. Tired of everything!
So, I agreed.
The two of us sit down in a secluded hallway of the building. Or, as secluded as you can get in a place like this. It feels suffocating.
"Why did you do it." I mumble, breaking the silence between us after a few moments.
"Which part? Kissing you or...accidently outing you?" She says with a bitter laugh. It's kind of scary coming from her.
Like she's less animated than usual. A if she isn't trying to be in some child-friendly Disney movie for once. It would be a bit refreshing if not for-wait!
What did she say? Accidently? What is she talking about?
"Accidently?" I can't help but voice my confusion. This causes her to look at me with a copy of my expression.
"Um...yeah, accidently. Wait...did you think I told everyone on purpose?"
"Um...yes!" I shout at her. She jumps a bit at my voice and I kind of feel bad.
You have got to be kidding me. Surely not. No, there is no way I hated her all these years purely on an accident! She has to be lying!
I just look at her in disbelief, unable to think of anything to say. Thankfully, she notices this and continues.
"Yeah, I was talking about it with Heath one day. I know...I know I can be pretty loud. Trust me, I've been thinking of that fact a lot since it happened." Winnie lets out a sigh of remorse. "But, I swear, I never meant for anyone to hear me. I didn't know that anyone was around!"
This is...well. I don't know what this is. Should I believe her? I mean, she looks torn up about it. But, it's not that easy.
I've spent so many years hating her for what she did. Every-time I've thought about how my life had turned out, she was one of the biggest parts. There is too much there. Too much history for me to just forget about it all.
Sure, for all know, she could just be lying to save her ass!
"Winnie I...don't know what to say-"
"You don't have to say anything, I get it. I really hurt you and I didn't expect you to just forgive me based on my word anyway!" She keeps rambling on. It's getting difficult to even talk now. "It's not like I only hurt you. I mean, I basically cut Heath off when I started sleeping with Ozzy. Which was a stupid idea in the first place. Cause, I never even liked him. Honestly, I found him really annoying and wanted to slap him several times. But, you're his sibling and he sort of reminded me of you and I just wanted to feel close to you again and..."
Even though we are in what is quite frankly, one of the loudest buildings I have ever been in. it's like my hearing has gotten shot. Everything is silent. For a few seconds I'm not suer if Winnie has stopped talking or if I simply can't hear her anymore.
But, when I meet her gaze again, I see her eyes are wide and cheeks are blushed. She doesn't need to say it. Despite how much she just revealed there. There is one part that she didn't. But, after what she did that days a few weeks ago, I know it.
She...she slept with Oswald, to get over me?!
I'm running away from her again before the thought even fully connects in my brain.
