"What" Natasha says in disbelief. I start going through the phone that Ian gave me. I see the video I got on my birthday on the phone. I go to the text messages and see the text messages from four years ago. I see that when we thought we were texting each other, we were actually texting this phone. I give Natasha the phone and she goes through it. I remain quiet with a blank expression on my face. I am staring down at the sand with my fist clenching and unclenching.
After Natasha reads through the text messages and watches the video, she looks up from the phone and covers her mouth with her free hand. Tears start to roll down her face and she whispers, "Why?" Natasha drops the phone onto the sand. I look over at Natasha and wipe the tears away with my thumbs. I pull her into a hug and she grips my t-shirt so hard her knuckles turn white.
Everyone looks at Katie. "Well" Elise says, "Looks like you have some explaining to do." Katie says, "I did it because Harley is so out of your league and you couldn't see that." I mumble, "What does basically everyone have against me?" Natasha says, "It's a free country and I can date whoever I want. So, what if I'm out of Harley's league, what does it matter when I'm the one that chose to date her in the first place." At the same time I say, "That's why" and Ian says, "No way."
Everyone turns their attention to the two of us. "What" Stacy asks. Ian says, "Katie was jealous of Harley." "So" says Mark. I say, "Katie is in love with Natasha." Natasha looks at Katie and asks, "You're in love with me?" Katie answers, "Yes. I developed a crush on you since we first met. I've been in love with you since the first party we all went to." Natasha says, "Katie I truly am sorry that I can't reciprocate those feelings, but whoever ends up being able to call you theirs will be a lucky person. And as I've said in the past, you're not my type."
"But she is" Katie says nodding at me. Natasha says without hesitation and with confidence, "Harley is." Natasha smiles and I smile back. Katie asks, "What does she have that I don't?" "Harley is just Harley, a one of a kind" Natasha says, "My one of a kind." My smile grows when I hear Natasha say that. I pull her in for a quick kiss. I say, "That's why we are team Narley." Natasha rolls her eyes and then laughs. She says, "You're a dork." "But I'm your dork" I say. "You sure are" Natasha says.
Annabel says, "What kind of friend are you? You purposely ruin a relationship so that you can have a chance." Mark says, "A terrible friend." Stacy states, "That was a rhetorical question Mark." "Oh" Mark says. Natasha says, "I don't want to see you unless I have to." Katie says, "But-" "I'm dead serious" Natasha says. Katie looks defeated. "Please don't do this" Katie begs. "I think its time for you to leave" Elise says stepping in between Katie and Natasha and me. Stacy, Mark, Antonio, Annabel, and Ian do the same thing.
Thanks for reading. If you are into Greek mythology and/or the Percy Jackson series, you should check out Demigod and then my new story Demigod The Lost Stories. What did you guys think? What do you think is going to happen next? Last time we found out that Katie was behind it. This time we found out why. What do you think? Do you think Natasha's reaction was justified? If you have any suggestions or questions let me know. As always votes and comments are appreciated.
