Storm clouds

Chapter 22 Loathe

Kate, Cara and I sat on the high rock as we viewed the rough sea far away raging furiously. The vivid blue was encased with a dull grey. Almost like Carson's eyes. There was clearly something I was missing. More like I didn't want to believe it.

What was happening? How on earth did I end up in such a pathetic situation? I groan as the horrid scenes played through in my head thinking of what Kyle could possibly do to me.

''You alright?'', Kate asked while Cara was unusually silent.

''Yeah, if you consider three people chasing me due to the lust that burned through their bodies!'', I state drily as fear tucked at the edges of my voice. My hand silently shook where I held a frostie.

''Ah, how can you be so full of yourself, Emma? I get it you can be dumb sometimes but being so self centered all the time, clearly not helping!'', Cara snickers, her face filled with hatred.

Shocked, Kate gasps. Clearly none of us expected this.

''Sorry?'', I ask uncertainly as my voice shook. What was wrong with her? There was no regret, no remorse whatsoever, just blank darkness in her pale eyes.

''Uff, you know all the drama you pull off is really annoying besides I know getting two hot brothers down on their knees for you is real classy and all but still, now you have to add three more in your pathetic long list, just because they are hot and you can't get to toy with them?'', Cara scoffs.

For all I know, I could be dreaming or maybe the world has come to its end. Or just maybe Cara is on drugs or even better, possessed by some sort of evil spirit.

There was nothing in my entire existence that I could compare to the crushing grief and the unbearable pressure that threatened to cease the very beats of my fragile heart.

'' What do you mean?'', I ask quietly as tears glisten in my eyes. I could never process the fact that my best friend could rile up against me. Just yesterday everything was alright and now here she is, just the same as always but only with the wrong words to account for.

'' I mean how delusional can you be? Granted you are all for the hots for any guy but every single person who so much as glances in your direction, is quite pathetic you know'', she seethes.

'' What is this, Cara? Why you acting like a complete bitch?'', Kate asks playfully even if she slightly meant them in a way.

I stare at the person who looked exactly like my best friend but only with an interchanged aggressive personality. A haughty one to top it all off. Where was the girl who always sort to calm me wherever I was in danger, no matter how futile? Where was the girl who cheered everyone with her crazy, sarcastic comments inorder to cut through the tension. Clearly, she was someone who wanted to be alone with herself for quite some time but this, this was straight unbelievable. Slowly distancing herself from us to the point where she hurls clear shots of white fire bolts straight into my heart is downright insane.

'' What is wrong with you?'', I cried, desperately wanting it to be a dream. Heck, it even felt like one, with the amount of pain that squeezed my vitals, making it difficult by the second to breath.

'' I am done with this all. All my life I lived like I didn't care if there was a Prince Charming or not and when finally I meet one who clearly made me fall deep with all his charm and allure, you come and disrupt it all. Snatching away the warmth and raw happiness that I felt for may be a week or two only to be taken away by a pathetic excuse of a friend, You!'', she spits, anger consuming her as tears sparkled in her eyes.

''You knew them?'', I ask, baffled by all the things that happened and is happening around me.

'' Of course!'', she spits as if it was obvious.
