"Maybe you should think about how you've treated me before you bitch about how I react to it"

Cynthia's POV

I could feel her anger from the moment she opened her mouth to ask that question. Mentally I had prepared herself for the confrontation that I knew was coming, But emotionally I was helpless to stop the reactions; my body had tense up at the sight of The hurt in Erica's eyes.Taking a deep breath, I straighten up as Best I could before Erica came at me again.

"Tell me it's a lie, Cynthia," she spat, her brown eyes darkening in the anger that coursed through her.

"Tell you what's a lie?" I said softly, my voice tinged with an indifference that she was not accustomed to...at least not when it came to me.

"Do not play these games with me Cyn. "When was time you fucked joe?"

"We haven't done anything in a while" I lied. "How is that any of your business if I am or not, Erica?" I questioned.

"Do you hear how fucked up you sound right now?So y'all ain't done nothing in a while" she chuckled with her eyebrows raised".

"Yeah" that's all I could say.

"So either you cheating on him or you mad flexible cause I'm wondering who the fuck gave you that hickey on ya neck"

Fuck.....

"Umm-it- what? I said struggling for words to Explain.

"Oh so now the cat got your tongue,you can't speak?" She frowned.

"Can we not do this right now" I said bravely, she just looked like she wanted to slap the shit outta me.

"Yeah you're right it's not my business, Let me leave you and your business alone....better yet Get the fuck outta my face"

"Erica wait I can explain....." I shouted, great now everyone was looking at us."You can't leave! We need to figure this out! We need to talk this over-"

"Don't bother! Our relationship was too good to be true. It was never gonna work and I should've known....I did know but I made myself believe that there could be a "US" more fool me"

"But He means nothing." I said blocking her exit.

"Oh so that's why you having sex with him? After YOU told me That you wasn't in love with him and begged me to stay the night? Get out of my way!"

"Not till we talk it over". I said grabbing her hand.

"Oh, suddenly it's "we"? I don't need to listen to anything you say because as of right now, I could care less about your Feeling.Not even two minutes ago it was none of my business, now you wanna talk. Are you dumb? Or slow? I don't want to talk about shit! Now let me the fuck go!"

" We need to talk Erica. You need to know-"

"I don't need to know anything about you and that nigga! I said let me go or we gon really have a problem"

"No! I'm not gonna let y-....."

In a jerk reaction Erica slams Cyn hard into the concrete wall with her hands around her neck. Cyn wince in pain just as Erica's grip get tighter. The gasp from everyone back stage echoed around the room, causing Chyna and Stella to rush back stage to see what was happening.
