Rylee Girl

Catfights and Fireworks

"Hold my shoes... Shit just got real"

"You ready?" Piper asked me when I opened the door to my house. It was July 4th weekend and everyone in town was going to the annual Fourth of July festival in the town square.

"Almost!" I replied grabbing my red white and blue sunglasses off the table. I was decked out in American flags from head to toe.

Piper, Joey and I spent all afternoon riding sketchy looking carnival rides, eating our weight in funnel cakes and corn dogs and taking sips out of the vodka, that Joey had snuck in, in a water bottle. Benjamin had to work all day but was going to meet up with us later tonight for the fireworks. The more sips of vodka I drank the more my guilty conscience about sleeping with Luke and not telling Piper was eating me alive. But I still felt like I couldn't tell her. A part of me was ashamed I let it happen and the other part of me just doesn't want to hear a lecture. I just continued to sip as we sat on a curb people watching killing time as we waited for Benjamin. I was scanning the crowd when I finally spotted him across the square to my left. I stood up and smiled my biggest smile waving at him to come over.

He finally noticed me and began to walk our way when I glanced to the right and realized I had gotten someone else's attention too. Amy was sprinting towards us with Luke running after her. Amy's perfect hair was wild like a maniac. Her porcelain doll face as red as a cherry. She looked like a charging bull. And that charging bull was coming straight for me.

"YOOUUU STUUUPIDDD SKAAAAANKKK!!!" Amy began screeching as she got closer.

Unfortunately, she reached me before Benjamin did, and he stopped dead in his tracks a few feet away. She stopped just inches from my face, and I didn't realize it, but Piper and Joey had both gotten up and were standing on either side of me. Both of their arms blocking Amy from reaching me all the way.

"What the fuck is going on?" Piper asked nobody in particular.

I stared at Amy trying to plead with my eyes for her to not say anything, but she didn't even look at me.

"OOoh!! She didn't even tell you what SHE did?" Amy continued yelling.

By this time, we had a pretty big crowd gathering. Amy turned her attention back to me.

"Why didn't you tell Piper that you TOOK LUKE'S VIRGINITY!!" Amy shouted making sure to get the attention of anyone within earshot.

I glanced quickly at Luke who looked like he wanted to crawl into a hole and die. I imagine I had the same expression on my face. I then looked at Ben who seemed just stunned. His face so hurt.

"What??!" Piper asked looking at her then at me, "For real?"

I just nodded and hung my head. Amy lunged forward and Joey caught her.

"You stupid home-wrecking white trash whore!" She yelled clawing at Joey's arm trying to get out of his grip. "You're a fat cow! Who nobody will ever love! You're the biggest slut there ever was!! How many guys have you screwed since Luke dumped you? Like 10?? I hope you choke on a dick and die and go to hell!!" Amy continued. "You broke my boyfriend! He didn't even want to sleep with you! You raped him Rylee!!" Amy yelled now sobbing uncontrollably.

"WHOA! NO!!" Piper yelled

"AMY! STOP!!" Luke yelled finally chiming in. "Everybody's staring... Let's go!!" Luke said embarrassed.

I couldn't take anymore and all that 'water' I drank earlier wasn't going to allow me to stay quiet.

"EXCUSE ME??" I yelled. Now it was Piper who was trying to hold me back.
