"fuck you, y/n l/n."
was the only thing i could hear as stanley began trudging out of the waters to return home.
"what the hell ever happened to you two?"
eddie asked carefully.
i shrugged,
but before i could explain anything,
richie took in,
"basically, back in the day. she dated eric and left stan behind. now they've been arguing left and right. kind of annoying, really."
i gave him a look that only made him shrug,
"it's true."
"it's...complicated,"
i defended.
"mm, not really. i mean the insults are flying left and right. it's such a hostile environment with you two."
"oh my god, you're horrible."
i hurried out of the water at richie's words,
because while i hated to admit it,
he was right.
we had created such a malicious state of being around one another that his own friends felt uncomfortable in their territory.
as i hurried behind him,
i realized if i didn't at least try to talk to him,
he'd be way out of my sight.
"stanley! wait!"
"what, y/n?!".
"okay, look...you're right. i am a stuck up,
spoiled, bitch and i'm sorry, stanley! i'm so sorry. i wish i could just take everything back and restart but i know it doesn't work like that. just....please talk to me."
i breathed out in a hurry.
i waited for his cold, hard expression to melt into the one i had grown so used to,
the warm expression i loved.
but there he stood,
his eyes black with anger.
"you expect me just to forget everything because you're begging, y/n? you screwed me over. you left me for the fake friends that talk so much shit about you behind your back. but you remain friends with them and pretended as though i don't exist. you have never been excluded from anything in your life, so you cant possibly understand how shitty this feels. i mean, god, i was your best friend. i accepted and loved you for who you truly were. but that last day you stood me up, i've never hated you more."
nausea washed over me,
and suddenly i was swaying back and forth.
"oh...stanley.."
"y/n. just-just please go away."
i did as he pleased,
letting the tension suspend above us for another day longer,
and walked past him to take the lonely road home.
