"I was such a jerk!" great to finally hear her say it out loud. "Penny, I slept with Drake Greene. And I don't think I used.. You know.. Protection" she stuttered. Her words still echoed inside my head.
"That's.. I'm sorry I.. Why?" a mix of all the answers I could think of.
"I had a little too much alcohol I guess, and well.. Drake is surprisingly good at seducing" I couldn't disagree more, he was disgusting in my taste.
"I don't think there's much else to do, than hope for the best" she looked at me with a hint of shock.
"Hope?! Aren't you supposed to be my friend? Help me for God's sake!" she growled, nearly spitting in my face.
"Well, have you ever considered maybe I'm not?" the rage grew inside me. "I mean.. How rude do I have to be to you, until you realize that I don't like you? Never did, now there's that!" I spat back furiously. Her eyes was blank with hurt.
"And why are you telling me this? You have your best friend for that!" numerous insults swarmed my mind.
"You wouldn't understand" she grumbled, standing up, heading for the door.
"I'm not stupid Dani!".
"It's different with you okay?" she suddenly turned to me with a serious look.
"Different.. How?" I stopped in my words, the acrimony disappearing from my voice.
"You understand, you listen. Well, Sarah do too, but it's different" she murmured, leaning against the door frame. Right. Sarah. Her so called best friend. Personally, I don't get why anyone could bare to spend as much time with Dani as Sarah does. I mean, how does she not strangle her.
"Sarah comforts me, and tells me what a douche Drake is, and that it's all his false.." I interrupted her.
"But it's not! Yes, Drake is a fucking dirtbag, but it's not all his false. He didn't force you to drink that alcohol, he didn't force you to go to bed with him.. He didn't right..? But that's beside the point, I know you very well, and you wouldn't let that offer down for anything, even if you were sober". She looked up at me, with a notably soft gaze.
"Exactly. In different from Sarah, you're honest. She has this messed up idea that everything's gonna be alright, when I know very well it wont".
"Well that's because Sarah needs to realize that not all song lyrics are true!" I joked. In return, Dani shook her head in despair. "I don't blame you for what you did Dani. I stepped in the exact same trap, and I'm very aware of that I was a fool to do so, but I can't help it. What I do dislike about you, frankly speaking, is.. Well.. You" I paused, a feeling of relief brushing through my body as I finally got it out.
"It's you in general Dani. Your disrespect for me and a number of other people. Your ways. Your lack of friendliness, you're plain rude! And let's be honest here, I'm not a big fan of your music taste either, but you already know that?" I explained, adding a joke to not sound too harsh.
"Penny!" it proves my joke wasn't very effective.
"So don't come here and expect me to comfort you" I finished, expressing my frustration.
"I didn't come to you for comfort, I came to you for the truth".
"But you already know the truth, did you come here to get me to give you a lecture?" I groaned. "I just wish you would treat me like you treat.. Joanna for an instance" I conflicted.
"And I don't know why I bother to tell you this, for I know that it wont make a difference. I know that you by tomorrow will go back to ignoring me, no matter what I say or do to stop you. What I'm trying to say Danielle, is that I don't think we were meant to be friends. And with that, I say we should go back to being strangers" I never meant for it to go this far, but I really wanted to get her out of my life.
