Fate | n.h

Betrayal

I'm scared. 

Eric is here and I can't escape from his firm grasp. I thought I got rid of him for good, but he's back. I don't know how he found me or if someone told him I'm here. I don't have time to think about that right now, I need to figure out a way to get away from him. 

"Eric please" I cried. Why am I crying? This is only going to make him thrive from my fear of him. But I can't help it. I am terrified of him.

He laughs at my crying state. Why does he have to do this me, we broke up my Junior year of high school. Get over it! 

I tried to run away again but he has hand so tight on my wrist it starts to hurt. He started to get very annoyed by my defiance and starts to drag me away. I tried to scream to get everyone to notice that I was being held against my will, but it held my mouth so tight that I could only make a small amount of noise. At this point, I gave up and let him drag my hopeless body to his car. 

He placed me in the front seat, which surprise me at first. "Don't try anything" he said in a mean and angry voice. I decided if I was going to be stuck here in the car with him, I might as well gain enough confidence to find out why he's here. 

"H... How did you find me?" I said in a shaky voice. His head snaps towards me, and he smirks. "I didn't," he says as he locks all the doors. I looked at with a confused expression on my face. What does he mean he didn't find me? "huh?" is all I could make out. "I didn't find you, Leah," he told me in an annoyed voice. Did he follow me? Did someone tell him where I am at? And then it blurts out "Did Amanda tell you where I was at?" I said with worriedness in my voice. 

He smirks. I felt sick to my stomach. How can my best friend betray me like that? She knew how much I hated him. Tears started to form in my eyes. I tried to hold them back but failed. 

Before I realized it I grabbed my phone out of my pocket without him realizing it and texted Amanda. 

L: Bitch!

I didn't mean to send that. I mean I don't know, she betrayed me. She betrayed my trust. She knew what Eric did to me but yet she tells him I am at. 

A: What the heck?

A: Why would you call me that... 

I looked at her texts for a few minutes before I respond to her. I didn't know what to say to her. I am so angry and hurt that I can't think clearly. 

L: You told Eric where I was...

L: Why would you do that. 

L: Remember what he did to me at the party? 

L: How could you? 

L: I thought you were my best friend...

I tried so hard to hold back more tears as I read her next text. I was beyond hurt. I wanted nothing more than for Eric to just kill me now. 

My best friend, the person who is supposed to be there for me no matter what, has betrayed me.

Author's Note: 

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this chapter. I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do with it. I originally titled the chapter 'Fear' but as I was writing it the world 'Betrayal' came to mind and immediately thought of Amanda. 

I have a few things in mind for the next chapter but please feel free to leave suggestions in the comments. I do read them. 

I do want to leave you guys with a bit of a warning. I plan on making this story with mature content, for example, sex scenes, language, things like that. So if you are not into that I will leave a warning at the top chapters that have that. 

My story almost has a thousand reads which makes me excited considering I started writing this because I was bored. Anyways thank you so much for the reads.
