Orphan

Betrayal

I hopped on one leg out of the car, grabbing my crutches and my purse.

"Thank you for the ride dad" I spoke softly, earning a nod from him. I hopped onto the sidewalk as I get inside the coffee shop. Looking around, a frantically waving Joony gained my attention. I waddled over to her on my one foot, sitting comfortably in front of her as I sigh of relief. Her hands tapped against the wood of the table, eyes targeting on the coffee cup in front of her. My mouth opened up, ready to ask Joony a question.

"Okay, don't say anything until I'm done" She inhaled deeply, stress clearly showing. I remained quiet as she loosened her grip on the edge of the table.

"I have found out some information on Jungkook, Haeli and you" I nodded, a sign for her to continue on.

"Haeli was here earlier, by herself for once, and was talking to Jungkook on the phone" I continued to stay silent and listen, keeping my ears on every detail.

"And based on some of the words she used, I believe they are both at fault for your ankle" I nearly chocked on air, leaning in as my eyes widened.

"Both of them?!" She nodded, sitting her coffee.

"I decided to record part of the conversation once she started speaking" She slid her phone forwards, offering me on of her headphones.

"Jungkook! Where are you?"

"At her house?! You were suppose to be here an hour ago!"

"This is exactly why I spilled my drink!" I gulped, she did it on purpose.

"Must I remind you of what you said during our last fight?!" Joony's eyes shook at her phone.

"You said and I quote "The only way you could really get me to stop hanging out with her is if she got injured somehow from practicing, so if you really want that go ahead!" " I felt the aching feeling in my chest before you start to cry awaken. I took out the headphone before I could hear anything else. Joony turned off the audio and her phone screen off, facing me with her fingers mingled.

"You still like cappuccino?" I nodded, staying silent as I continued to look down at the table, tapping my fingers against it as Joony took her phone and went up to the counter. It started to pour outside, just like how I wanted to. But holding it in was very hard. Joony was talking on the phone, while ordering drinks but the noise of my eternal crying blurred out her voice. She hung up the phone and came back to the table with six drinks. Sitting across from me, she handed me mine. A few minutes of silence, five other bodies of my other friends ran out of the rain and into the cafe.

Teyone sat on my left, Kali sat on my right, Lenya sat next to Teyone, and Solia between Kali and Joony.  All of their eyes on me had no affect on me. I feel numb that I'm unsure of how to react to anything anyone is thinking. Taking a sip, I reacted the burning sensation on the tip of my tongue with the blank facial expression I've had on my face since I heard the words from Haeli's mouth. We all sat in silence before Lenya spoke up.

"Wendy, I hate to make the matter worse but you need to say goodbye to Jungkook, you didn't deserve this type of treatment" I shrugged, taking in more of the hot drink in front of me.

"Do you think you'll confront him about this?" Milo asked, causing me to place down the drink.

"I'll confront him, Joony, can you send me the audio please?" She nodded, taking out her phone as she sent the audio to me. Not a moment to soon, my phone in my purse vibrated. I sighed, hearing the sound get worse. I felt my blood boil at this news, but I was holding it in pretty well. I won't waste my anger on someone who I trusted. That may sound weird but I'm not sure how else to describe it. I'll say what I have to say at school on Monday.
