Dollhouse: Continued but slow

Chapter 7- May's Truth

"It started last month. I wasn't seeing anyone, but he was. J.C didn't like dating one girl; he liked more than one. I wasn't prepared to confront him. But I so wanted to. Then, a few weeks ago, I caught him. He was snogging someone. I don't know who, but someone. I pulled out my phone. It all happened so fast. I... I..."

Her voice was trailed off by her sobs. Hanna pulled her into a hug, whispering words of comfort. May sat up after a moment. It was silent at their table. Only a few people were here now. It's as mid day and everyone had gone out to enjoy the beautiful Autumn day. May continued, voice breaking.

"I couldn't help myself. I wanted to make him pay. I couldn't believe it. I swiped right for my camera. I was going to make the girl pay. If she was my best friend, she was picking a fight. Thoughts filled my brain of what I would do to her. And him. Them. Then I saw. It wasn't a girl. It was the opposite. A boy. My camera clicked quickly. I snapped a few photos and hid. It was awful. I ran into school and that's when I saw you guys. I couldn't tell you. It was awful. I couldn't tell anyone. He would never forgive me. And I was afraid of what you guys would have thought. So I did the one thing I could have thought of. You remember the gossip page on Instagram? The one that everyone follows?"

The girls nodded. Their eyes full of tears, like Mays.

"Well, I text them, asked them if I could join. They had one person from each school across the world join. I was from ours. They said yes, as long as I could gain info. I was in Gossip Group. It was incredible. Such an honer. I looked at the photos and chose the best ones. I out them into a collage and added a message:
Look who has a new girl friend? Or boyfriend. So sorry for the poor ex
xoxo Gossip Group
I regretted it as soon as I posted it. Over 1000 likes and 150 comments. He hated it. I felt so bad. But I couldn't tell anyone. I just let it happen." May continued to cry.

"May. I'm so sorry." Ella was speechless.
"We all are" it was the first time Courtney spoke up for a while now. "We're sorry that you felt that you couldn't tell us. Really." It was a horrible thing to do that, but a braver to own up to it.

"I'll go next"
