Lost Love

Chapter 14

I can't believe what my eyes just saw. I willed the image to go away but it was already ingrained into my system. Chris and Emily were in the middle of a heated make out session. I wasn't even gone for up to 30 minutes. I refused to think about what that make out session would have progressed to if I hadn't interrupted.
For a moment nobody said anything. It was obvious the three of us were in shock. I didn't even know what to say. What was I supposed to say when I just caught my boyfriend of two years with someone I took as my sister locking lips together, with one of his hand caressing the mould of her breast and the other one somewhere in between her thigh. I couldn't be more stunned
We stood there for like hours but I knew it was just few minutes before Chris' voice broke the trance;
"Its not what it looks like Charlie"
That statement suddenly made me angry. It's not what it looks like??? Who still says that?? Obviously Chris does
"What the hell do you mean by that statement? How else do you want me to look at this situation?" I was greatly surprised as to how my voice was so calm when on the inside I was far from being calm.
He reached out to hold me but I stepped back instinctively. His face showed hurt but I couldn't care less. I was broken, to think that the people I trusted so much could do this to me made me really hurt.
Realizing something I asked, "how long has this been going on?"
None of them made any move to talk and I shouted, "ANSWER ME!!!!!!" And they flinched visibly
"Roughly a year" it was Emily that answered it and the answer made my heart drop more. How could I have been so blind? I felt so foolish after her answer. They have been going out behind my back and I was so foolish to even realize.
"When did this start?" my voice came out small and I knew in that instant that I was going to break.
"When we had a quarrel about your trip with your dad" I looked up at Chris and my tears started pooling out of my eyes. I couldn't help it again. I remember the quarrel we had just because I forgot about our first year anniversary when I went to Paris with my dad. I had asked for Emily's help when he wouldn't talk to me and this happened?
To say I was hurt was an understatement; I am more than hurt.
How could they do this???? What have I have done to deserve this kind of treatment?? To think they have been in a relationship behind my back for the past one year and I was clueless looking forward to my future with Chris? This is so unbelievable
If someone had told me this was going to happen I wouldn't have believed it because the thought of them together hadn't crossed my mind at all. I loved this people, I trusted them.
As I struggled with my internal thoughts, I couldn't keep my tears at bay and they started clouding my vision making it hard for me to see anything.
My body felt weak and I couldn't move my legs. I willed my legs to take a step but it was like I was paralysed at that spot.
My quiet sobs turned into loud sounds and the reality of this situation dawned on me; I've been betrayed by the closest people to me. I looked up at Chris; the boy who had been there for me through thick and thin. When I was grieving about my mum's death, he was there for me, the boy who sent me love letters and chocolates, who took me on several dates sometimes with my dad and Emily, who asked me out in the most romantic way possible, the guy I gave my heart too and finally the guy who crushed my heart by going out with my best friend for a whole year.
I couldn't handle this situation again so with one last look at Emily, I turned and left without a final word.
