What is going on?
Nate and Ness are being super weird.
Why are they even here? Nate has his own place, they never hang out in our little dorm room.
Unless...
They must be keeping away from his house.
"So, just wanted to hang out in a dorm room, huh?" They insisted we watch a movie and stay here.
"Uh huh..." They both continue munching popcorn, staring at the television.
This must have something to do with Ben.
"Okay, what is going on?" I glare at them, hoping I'm intimidating enough to get some information.
"Nothing..." Vanessa's eyes dart around. She really is a terrible liar.
"What is it?" I turn to Nate. "Why can't I go to your place?"
"No reason." He shrugs, but his eyes stay on the screen. He's definitely hiding something.
No, it couldn't be... my stomach drops at just the thought.
"Does Ben have a girl there?" Vanessa squeals, spilling popcorn all over her bed.
That doesn't make me feel better.
"What? Why would you think that?" She jumps up, scooping the popcorn back into the bowl.
"That's it, isn't it? Why wouldn't you tell me?" I get Nate is protecting his friend, but she's supposed to have my back.
This hurts more than I thought it would.
"Kat, it's not what you think." Nate tries once again to defend his douchebag friend.
"What I thought was that I could trust you, Vanessa!" I grab my purse, heading towards the door. "You sat here pretending like everything was okay? Why would you lie to me?"
"Kat, please don't leave. I promise we were only trying to help." She looks apologetic, but I don't even care at this point.
"Help who exactly?" I turn and walk out the door, not caring to hear her answer.
The drive to Ben's is a blur, all I can think about is how stupid I've been to trust him, even a little bit.
He doesn't care about me. He never has and never will.
When I get there, I can hear Ben talking with a girl. I walk in the unlocked door, expecting the worst.
I hear Ben say he loves me and then they kiss. What the heck is going on?
"Ben?" Why did I speak? I should have just left.
He shoves her away, turning towards me. "Kat? What are you doing here?"
His eyes are so wide, they look like they might pop out. Is he shocked that she kissed him or shocked that he got caught?
"Just leaving, apparently." I turn to walk out the door, but he runs to me, grabbing my wrist.
"Wait. Please don't leave." His eyes plead with me, but I don't know if I can handle this right now. Real or not, this is a pretty big breach of trust.
