I never thought I would ever be that girl.
The girl who everyone loved.
The girl who everyone forgot about.
The girl who thought she had everything going for her.
The one whose life just fell into place only for it to fall apart.
The one who got left behind.
I, Haley Michelle Evans, had seen countless incidents exactly like this occur in my dorm hall and promised myself I would never fall into that trap the devil set.
But I did, and face first.
I thought today was supposed to be a happy day. My day. Our day.
But it all just crashed in flames.
I snuck a glance at my dress, soaking wet from the rain and miserably draped on the back of my desk chair. It was just hours ago that my best friends, Jordanne, Malia, Suri and I were happily preparing for Homecoming, enjoying ourselves. We were sipping mock champagne and toasting to us but now, they had not even realised I had fled from the dance floor, yet, I could not even blame them, I had ran for my life.
My eyes shut, they hurt, swollen from all the crying I had done. My makeup was ruined, smudged mascara, lipstick wiped clean. Suri's surprise destroyed. I could not even feel my face anymore. My entire body ached while all my friends were out dancing and enjoying themselves probably without a complain, and here I lay, sobbing uncontrollably, cradled in the arms of a girl I used to consider my rival.
The girl I could not trust.
The girl who wanted my man.
But....I was not sure if he was even mine to begin with.
"Shhhh...it's okay. I got you," the blonde girl cooed as she rocked me back and forth.
I could not respond with anything audible, more tears flowed freely.
Who knew this could ever happen? It angered me beyond belief. Unfortunately, I could not even pinpoint who to channel the anger to. It was going to boil until it spilled over. Worst of all, I did not know who I could trust anymore.
Who is truly on my side?
And who genuinely isn't?
