"Nobody likes a liar."
Her words keep ringing in my ears while I try to gather my thoughts.
"It... it wasn't up to-" I stutter.
"Save it," Raquel snaps. "You had a choice. You let all of us believe in a stupid lie. God, how could I have been so stupid? So many of us were actually taking care of you, worrying about you, and we started planning already!"
Now, she's practically screaming in my face, as she backed me up into the corner in our schools downstairs restroom.
I start digging my nails into my palm and biting my lip to prevent myself from letting my tears fall over.
Not now, I thought. Not in front of her.
"What? You gonna start crying? Do you have nothing to say for yourself?" She screams in my face. I flinch away from her, not meeting her eyes. I can feel the heat radiating off her body.
She's more than pissed, she hates me. I thought. I thought her of all people would understand.
"Please," I say shakily.
"'Please' what?" She breathes seethingly.
"You..." I start shakily. "You're my best friend. Please. Can you understand? Can you just hear me out? I don't want to lose you. You're all I have."
"You already lost me, Elisa." She snaps.
And with that she turns on her heel and walks out of the dim restroom.
"Oh God, what have I done?" I whisper to myself as I slide down the wall. I press my hands to my face and start sobbing into them. "I've ruined everything. I'm such a worthless, pointless person."
After sobbing and talking to myself for a good twenty minutes, I start to realize something. I couldn't go out there. Raquel's already started telling everyone. I could feel it. I could feel the whispers about me already happening.
Without a second thought, I ran away.
Ran away from the school, ran away from the whispers, ran away from the accusations. I didn't think about where I was going. I just ran as far away as possible.
