Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 24: "I want you to rid of the feeling."

I walk into the classroom, which I haven't stepped foot in since the day I bitch slapped her. She's standing in the center of the class. I'm not late but it's like she's having some meeting or some shit. the professor is sitting at his desk, looking angry.

"-and she stole my boyfriend."

The door shuts loudly behind me, and every head turns to me.

Rebecca looks at me in fury. "You took Will from me."

I raise my eyebrows.

"I'm in love with him and you took him from me. He loves me."

I bite back a laugh.

"You don't love him." I mutter, irritated.

"I do! I love him!"

I put my bag down on my desk, next to Vic, who we made up with. She isn't mad I ranted about her on the video. I don't think she even cares.

"No, you don't." I say. "How long did you know him before you got together without just seeing him at my apartment?"

"I didn't know him." she says.

"And how did he pick you up?"

"He told me I was pretty and said we should go out."

I nod slowly. "What's his middle name?"

She blinks three times. "Andrew."

I shake my head. "It's Noah. "What's his last name?"

"James."

"What's his favorite color?"

"Green."

I shake my head again. "Blue. Where did he grow up?"

"Michigan."

"Wallford, Maryland. Does he have any siblings?"

"No."

"Bullshit." I roll my eyes. "He has a younger brother and an older sister. Did you ever cry in front of him?"

"Yes."

"What did he do?"

"He said he had to study and he went home."

"Why were you crying?" I ask.

She grits her teeth slightly. "I was crying out of anger after I ranted about how much I hate you and why I hate you."

I nod slowly. "I find it kind of convenient that you don't know anything about him, that he came to you right after I broke up with him, he left after you talked shit about me and left you alone, crying, and he broke up with you when he got me back. Sorry doll, he doesn't love you. You don't know the first thing about him."

"That's not true!" she almost yells. "I know he never wants to get married! I know he's had sex with three girls! I know he doesn't want any kids!"

"Oh my god." I run my fingers through my hair, which is curled. "Will wants to get married. The only girl he's ever had sex with is me, and he was at least four kids."

Silence.

"You're lying. He didn't have sex with you. He told me that he hates children! He said he doesn't want to get married in case he gets too attached! He said he's had sex with three girls."

"Yeah? What are their names?"

"He said he didn't remember!" she looks like she's about to start crying.

"He lied to you."

"No! He hates you! He does! I know it!"

I look over her shoulder at the professor. "Can we solve this once and for all?"
