Betrayal

Chapter 3

I threw the Isabel's phone across the yard. Tears were running down Isabel's face.

"How long ago was this?"

Isabel stayed quiet.

"Isabel", the sound of my voice getting louder, "How long ago was this?"

She hesitated, "two months"

"two months and you never said anything about it? what happened to telling me?"

Isabel started to cry even more, "I'm so sorry Ellie, I meant to tell you but I fell in love with him and I found it harder and harder to tell you as time went on."

I could not believe what Isabel was saying. Isabel, the girl who claimed to be my best friend, had fallen in love with the guy she knew I loved.

"sorry? you're sorry? Bullshit, Isabel!"

I stood up from the swing and started walking to my car, I couldn't be there anymore looking at that traitor.

Isabel ran after me, "Please let me explain, Ellie!" She grabbed my arm  but I shook it off. 

"Explain what, Isabel? How you started dating the guy I'm in love with? How you broke your own stupid girl code? How you're so much of a slut that you couldn't back off of the one guy, THE ONE GUY, that I actually liked? You know, everyone calls you a slut but I always defended you because I CARED. But now? I realize that they're right. You're nothing but a bitch who can't keep her legs closed. I'm done with you Isabel. I never want to see you ever again."

She dropped to her knees and begged me to forgive her. I couldn't bring myself to look at her, I couldn't think straight. So much was running through my mind. For the past two months I told her about Travis and how much I loved spending time with him and the conversations I had with him. Meanwhile, she was probably fucking him at night, kissing him good morning and good night, sending him cute text messages, calling him "babe", having late night phone calls with him--everything that i wanted to have with Travis. She had what I wanted, what I always talked to her about, she had it. 

I drove off, I needed time to think about what had happened. My "Best friends" had betrayed me. 

I stopped, I looked down at my nails which had dry blood underneath them. 

"Is something wrong, Ms. Ross?" Officer Duncan asked.

"No, I just... I just can't believe that the last thing I said to her was that she was a slut. My best friend...I loved her." I wiped the tears from my eyes with the tissue Officer Duncan had given me earlier.
