Bad Boys

3. The Truth

I look at my phone. Three notifications. All from Riley.

"Hey, why bring me up? I'm sorry about the past babe. I'll make it up to you I promise xx"

"Answer me im worried :("

"Alisha, stop over exaggerating seriously..."

That changed fast. I leave him on read as I didn't want to talk to anyone. Especially when I'm in such a depressed state.

"Sorry guys, I was tired, emotional, and frustrated. Back to the story...."

As I went to leave, I heard a voice that only I loved. Riley grabbed my arm and told me to wait up. I only stayed because I had lost everyone, except for him and Georgia. Now I think about it, I wish I had never met them. Backstabbers they are.
"You should come to my place this arvo, have a few drinks, listen to some music, it'll be fun"
I then turned around with a smirk.
"But I bet you it won't be as fun as that little party you just had"
I walked away and tried to hold it together as everyone was staring at me.

"I just didn't want to do anything else. I just wanted to go home and... I hate everyone to be honest, why didn't any of you warn me about him? It's like you guys knew exactly what was going to happen!"

I once again cut off the live stream and took a long shower until there was no hot water left. Great. Just great.
I then had flashbacks of what had happened.
The guy before I dated Riley, his name was Cameron. We dated for a month, and he suggested We watched a movie. Yeah, I know what 'Netflix and Chill' means, but I literally only thought that we were going to watch a fucking movie. Nope, the only thing he did do was take my virginity. Bravo, you got what you wished for.
Another flashback. Georgia. Oh, we were friends since year 7. Im in year 11 now. So 5 years stuck with the slut. 'Hmm why. Why. Why. Why??!!'
I looked at the photos of me and my ex best friend, Brielle. I miss her so fucking much.

In year 7, I was the shy, good kid. In year 8, I started to get comfortable. Maybe a little too comfortable. In year 9. Worst year of my life. Georgia spread a lie and told Brielle that I called her a slut, but I never did. Why would I even do that to my BEST FRIEND!? I never even knew who spread the rumours until a month later. I didn't tell Georgia until that day. I cried and hugged her and she asked what was wrong. I then replied with a slow, broken voice. "Someone said something and I need to say something back! Why would they do this to me?!"
"Alisha, what's going on?!"
I see her cheeks going red, as if she knew exactly what was going on.
"Someone told Brielle that I called her a slut and she fucking hates me!!"
As I released those words, it was like her whole world shattered.
"It was kind of my fault,"
But then she started to laugh.
"But it wasn't"
As she tried to walk off, I grabbed her wrist and was in tears.
"What Does that supposed to mean?"
She looked in both horror and happiness.
"I told her that you called her a slut!"
"You tore us apart! Why?!"
"Because you dated my crush before I did!!"
My mouth dropped as those words hit my ear drums.
'All because I dated him' was the only words I continuesly said in my head, and as soon as I got the chance, I screamed. I cried. I lost her, and my boy friend. All because that dumb bitch liked him? I ripped every last photo in half and cried myself to sleep. Might seem a little over dramatic, but I have been through hell and back at this point...
