I woke up very early in the morning because I wasn't sleepy, I couldn't sleep well, though. Evie wasn't in her bed anymore, now that was Jane's place. We had a fight last Friday, our FIRST fight in like... 5 years? We've been best friends since our mothers finally let us hang out together, and we formed a really good group with Jay and Carlos. As I had never had friends before them, my past years were the best of all my life. Until now. And it was all my fault.
>> Flashback <<
Friday night
Mal POV
Evie and I were getting dressed for a party at the castle. My boyfriend Ben, the new King of Auradon, was going to pick us, Jay and Carlos in a limo. Evie was starting to date Chad, the son of Cinderella and Prince Charming. I never liked that guy, he was so arrogant and bully with people, but, according to Evie, he was really nice when he was with her. I could never tell her that I didn't agree with that relationship, but she knew it anyways. I was so afraid he would break her heart into pieces. I was not a weak person, thank God I inherited that from my mother, but at the end of the day, I was still a human, so I did have a weakness... and that was Evie, my best friend, my sister, my partner in crime, my everything. You messed with her, and you messed with me.

When Ben was here, I went straight to him to give him a big hug and to kiss him softly. I was the happiest person in the whole world, I had my brothers, my boyfriend and my girl by my side. We were ready for having fun. During the car ride, we put some music and drinkt some coctails the service offered. Once we got there, we sat at the table asigned for us. Evie and I were at the main table with Ben, Belle, Beast and the Fairy Godmother; while Carlos and Jay sat with Lonnie, Chad, Audry, Jane and Doug. Yes, 'mevie' was always together, nobody dared to separate us, they even referred to us as we were the same person.
After we finished eating, I went to the bar to ask for a big glass of wine, all for myself. I wasn't used to drink alcohol, so that hit me really hard. On the dancefloor, I felt like a great dancer, never cared if I was being ridiculous or something like that, and everybody seemed to be enjoying the music as much as I was. I even danced with my parents- in- law, they were so cool! When I needed to sat for a while, I went outside to sat on a bank at the yard, but before I could do it, I heard Chad's voice coming from the lateral side of the castle. I though for a moment that he must had been be with Evie, but Evie was at the dancefloor dancing with Jay, Carlos and Ben, so...omg, that motherf*cker. I got close to where he was, and as I couldn't walk properly, I fell and made noise, so he when turned back to see what was going on, I saw that he was with Audry, that b*tchy cat. Of course they laughed at me, but then they realised who I was. At that moment, my friends were going outside the castle looking for me, when they could saw me, Chad hid Audry behind a tree and grab me by my arms, he looked at me and I couldn't believe that I was being attracted to him and felt the necessity to kiss him. He was so close to me and yes, I couldn't deny he was hot. He kissed me, and I couldn't push him away because of the alcohol in my body and because I was exciting by being so close.
'Mal!!,' screamed Jay. I completely forgot they were standing there.
'What the f*ck are you doing, Mal??' , asked Carlos in an angry way. Evie wasn't there, she must have run away.
'Yes, Mal, why did you ask me to kiss you?,' asked the as*hole, and by as*hole i meant Chad.
'You were the one who came close and kissed me!!! You did it on purpose!,' I screamed to him.
'It looked that you liked it,' he said
I couldn't believe what I had let to happen. I entered the castle running as fast as I could. It seemed that Evie hadn't entered there, she must have gone God knows where. Ben was eating some deserts, I felt so bad when I was coming closer to him. He looked at me and smiled. Shit, I didn't only loose my girl, but I was also going to loose the love of my live. I told him what happened.
'Chad kissed me, and I don't kno why I couldn't push him away,' a tiny tear was coming out as I was confesing. He couldn't believe what I was telling him, and of course he had to know Chad's version, too. That as*hole, it was obvious that he was going to made up something to let me look guilty, and as he was his best friend for life, Ben was going to believe in him.
I was waiting outside of Chad and Ben's room, in the hall. Ben came out.
'It's not me who you have to apologise to, but Evie,' he said. 'You know, I've known Chad since we were kids, he has always been a womanizer, but this time he crossed the line. I told him to pack his things and to go away from Auradon. You... you will stay here, but please don't ever talk to me again, at least for a while until I clear up my mind.'
I felt a pain in the chest. We have been dating for 3 months, was I in love with him already? I didn't know it yet, but my deep feelings for him and my big mistake were driven me crazy. How could I let that happened?
I needed to talk to Evie, I had been looking for her since I arrived to the school's residence. No sings of her. I entered to our room, hoping that she was back. Jane was unpacking her things above Evie's bed.
'Wh...what are you doing here? Where are Evie's things?' I asked.
'We changed rooms because she didn't want to be with you.'
'What? She moved??' That was it, I couldn't help it any longer. I started to cry my eyes out, and I felt like a knife nailing in my back. I could even hear the sound of my heart breaking into pieces. And I wasn't exaggerating.
