This Time

Chapter twenty

"oi! Get up! LEAAAAA" Emily was straddling me.

I growled at her but she just didnt give up.

"Okay, okay. Im up!" I finally gave in.

I woke up with a back ache and the harsh memory of what happened last night.

"Go get changed. We're going to the mall today" said Emily as she threw clothes at my face.

I got dressed and we both headed to the mall. After an hour of window shopping we went to the coffee shop and rested our feet.

"So she actually said that she was glad that Hunter died?" her eyes were widened

"Yeah"

"And then what happened?"

"I slapped the bitch.. when Ben walked in" I say with shame.

"Ohhhhhh snap! and theeen?"

"And then he told me to leave"

She reached for my hands and looked into my eyes dramatically.

"Don't worry. He is just a useless piece of trash"

I chuckled and then she quickly removed her hands.

"Speaking of trash, there is James" I look at the direction that she's looking and there he was. Standing with his "boyfriend"

"I thought you said that you guys were okay?" I asked.

"You cant be just friends with your ex boyfriend who left you because he is gay"

We looked at each other and giggled. Thats what I like about Em. She is usually carefree and always makes serious talks funny.

"Oh he sees us!" I said

"Just look away" she said bitterly

And at that moment James and his partner started making their way to the coffee shop.

"Oh dear God" Em sighed

I laughed.

"Hey you guys!" James said as he gave us a warm smile

"Er.. Hey J" I replied

"Yeah, hi" said Emily

"This is Ray" James tapped the shoulder of the other guy.

Ray smiles at us and places out his hand for a handshake.

"Hello, I'm Lea and this is Emily"

"Emily? As in the ex girlfriend?" He gave a confused expression.

Emily cleared her throat.

"Yes, Emily as in the ex" said Emily.

The area was filled with awkwardness.

"Sooo.. How have you been, Lea? I've heard some stuff" said James

"Erm.. You know too? How did you find out?"

"Well, Mae made a status about it" He said as his brows furrowed.

"What the fu-" Em spat out.

"I think she blocked me. Can I see it through your account?"

James nodded his head and handed me his phone.

On the screen there was a long passage saying :

" After my horrible incident I was rushed to the hospital and when I finally thought I was getting better, Lea came to me and slapped my face. Fake bitches are everywhere. Stealing your boyfriends and telling lies"
