(Sasha's POV)

"Hey guys! I'm leaving for my parents' place! Text or call me if y'all need anything!" I yelled from the hallway, making my way to the front door. I heard shuffling coming from the office downstairs.

LeKaa, Nate, Dylan and Amyna, who is still pregnant, came home couple of hours after I left LeRoy's office. I've been in my room, trying to brew up plans in relations to the date with Landen. Honestly, I wasn't really thinking when I had agreed to the date, my only thought when I was telling LeRoy was to instigate the jealousy in him but now I'm at a fix. If I were to go forward with the date, it might give the wrong intention towards Landen.

My head was trying to plot a plan to recite to LeRoy and the others when my iPhone chimed. Clicking the screen, I saw a message from my mother requesting my presence at my family's estate. It was very unusual for my mother asking me to come home through a text, which made me realise the missed call from her that I hadn't responded. Deciding that it would be a perfect getaway, I called an Uber and made my way out.

As soon as my hand touched the doorknob, "Sash, please. Talk to me" Nate pleaded. Turning to face my friend, I came into view of the boy I saw when I was ten. The anger in me was dampened down.

"Nate why do you always defend and support LeRoy? Was I really a bad friend to you?" I blurred a question at him.

"Sash. It isn't about me defending or supporting him. I felt and thought you just needed to hear him out for now. I knew what he felt for you even before he admitted to me and I had to always bring both of you together. I just want you to have what I have. I just want you to feel love and be loved." He replied with a loud sigh.

Dumbfounded, I just stared at him. "What made you think that I could only be loved by him? If he had loved him as you have assumed, would he stuck his tongue down that bimbo's throat?" the anger for LeRoy had returned.

"Sasha. He didn't enjoy that. I assure you. We had a plan. Well, he and Dylan had a plan. If they had told me earlier, I would have told you and maybe we wouldn't be having this fight. You would be still with him." He spoke his thoughts out.

"Nate don't you understand why I slammed the door in your face? Don't you remember what I said? You forgot you're my best friend Nate. You were supposed to support me. You always shadowed me as an older brother, protecting me. But when it comes to LeRoy, you just become only his friend. You let me fend for myself. Does it even matter if he hurts me? No, because you'll still try to find something right he did. Why do I even bother? At the end of the day, you're with his sister, you'll be his friend and I'll just stand on the sideline, slowly fading away" I was panting so hard when I finished my rant.

Nate just looked at me with sad eyes. "I don't know what to say to you anymore Sasha. You already made up your mind of my intentions and how am I towards you when regarded with LeRoy. I can't convince you anymore. I'm truly sorry."

"What's going on here?" LeKaa came down the stairs with a nest on her head.

"Nothing Leks. Just going back home awhile. Mom texted me. She wants me there." I replied her nonchalantly, without sparing a glance to Nate.

Nodding her response, LeKaa hugged Nate from the back and probably dozing off to sleep again.

"I'll be back," I said and left our group Headquarters towards the Uber, that was waiting outside.
