Going Too Far

Part 16

I told Liz everything. All of Trinity's secrets, and lies she feeds people. I told her about what happened at the beach house with Trinity, then the whole almost sleeping with Marc. I told her why I started cutting and how Marc was helping me stop cutting. She cried when I told her about the cutting and Trinity's blackmail. I told her everything about my screwed up life. By the time I was finished we were clinging to each other and crying. 

"I am so... s-sorry Tay, you shouldn't have to go through all this." She sobbed on my shoulder, I sniffled. "Your sister is a bitch. How can she do that to you?" She cried out.  

I pulled back and looked her dead in the eye. "Because she is a heartless bitch who cares about nothing other than herself," I said. 

She shook her head. "She's a lying bitch who needs to be taught a fucking lesson! Why not tell everybody about her secrets?"  

I sighed and ran a hand down my red blotchy face. "Because then she'll tell everyone about my cutting. I don't want that kind of spotlight, especially when I'm trying to forget about it."  

Liz hugged me again before pulling away and running to the bathroom, she came back with a wad of toilet paper. I laughed and grabbed a piece and blew my nose and whipped under my eyes. 

"We must look hideous." I laughed, shaking my head when I looked in her mirror. My face was puffy, I had bags under my eyes and my nose was red.  

I sighed and looked up at Liz. "Liz how did you know about my cutting? Did... did Trinity tell you? Or hint at it at all? What did she tell the girls on the team?-"  

"Whoa, calm down one question at a time." She stopped me. "I knew because during the summer you changed. You didn't hang out with us at all, and when you did you avoided Marc, you always wore long-sleeved t-shirts, and on the first day of school I kinda saw." She swallowed and ducked her head looking guilty. 

I sighed and smiled at her to show her it's ok. I figured someone had to of seen, the bracelets aren't working that much. 

"As for the other questions. No Trinity didn't tell me, but she did kind of hint at it at the last practice I was at. I don't think the girls understood though, so you don't have to worry about anything like that. And..." She paused and bit her lip. "Before I tell you what she said can you promise not to freak out?" I nodded to tell her I promise.  

She took a deep breath before she continued. "She told the girls you tried sleeping with Jake during the summer when he first asked her out." She held in her breath as she looked at me. She looked scared like I was about to explode or something. But instead of feeling angry like I expected I felt relieved. Trying to sleep with Jake, that's the best she got? I figured Big Bitch Trinity would have a better lie to tell. But me trying to sleep with Jake? That's just ridiculous, we were just friends and obviously he didn't like me. Duh! She sure tries too hard to make my life hell.  

I couldn't help the laugh that exploded from my mouth. She is such an idiot. Trying to sleep with Jake, please. Liz was looking at me as if I lost my mind, which in a way I kinda did. 

"That's... the most... stupidest thing... I've heard!" I choked out, still laughing. Liz didn't join in though she was waiting patiently for me to calm down. After another minute I finally did. 

"Trying to sleep with Jake. That's the best thing she got?" I chuckled a little. 

"But she made it sound like you were a total slut about it. Then Jake came and he agreed with your sister and-"  

"He agreed with her!" I screeched standing up, my fists curling. I can't believe this! Yes I say this coming from Trinity, but hearing that Jake, one of my best guy friends, agreed with her! I swear he's changed so much, he used to be this cute, respected, nice guy who wouldn't talk behind your back. But he's blinded by... well not love but lust. How can he do this to me? We've been friends since grade school, him and I used to be close. He didn't even like Trinity when we were younger; it was always just me and him.
