Emotions

chapter 17 ♥

I made my way back into the movie theater and quickly spotted sophie and David, as I went to sit next to sophie.

She looked at me intensely as if trying to figure me out or something, but the anger was a bit obvious in her eyes

"Where the hell have you been Mandy, the movie ends in about twenty minutes. You literally missed everything" she whisper yelled at me, careful not to get too much attention

I gulped silently as my eyes widened a bit. Oh my god I had no idea me and alex spent so much time together. Honestly it felt like just five minutes, anyway that's what you get when your partner is so fucking good at everything.

Shit. What am I even thinking, I really need to come up with an excuse real quick before she suspects something.

Sophie is a really smart girl and it won't take her long to put two and two together and then she's gonna find out about everything.

Fuck. I can't let that happen, think Mandy you're smarter than this. I began to search my brain for any kind of smart excuse that will get me out of this shit hole

Ugghh..why didn't I think of an excuse before stupidly walking into the theater.

If I tell her that there was a long queue, she definitely won't believe me because no matter how long the stupid queue might be it definitely won't take up to an hour before it got to my turn

But what if I tell her I couldn't find the bathroom and I had to walk the entire building before i finally found it. Nah that will just be stupid, even if I'm the one to be told that kind of lie I would never believe it, talk less of a smart ass sophie

My search for excuse was cut short when shook me violently and yelled my name for what seems like the hundredth time, but apparently I only heard it just now

"Mandy what is wrong with you. you just zoned out completely, are you okay" she sounded a bit relieved that I finally responded but she was still looking a bit panicked

When I looked up I noticed that David's attention was on me too probably waiting to hear what I was gonna say, so I had to say the first thing that entered my mind

"Y-you wouldn't believe it sophie, I was almost k-kidnapped" I stuttered while trying my best to look and sound at least convincing

She looked at david who at this point was completely on alert before she looked back at me, trying to make sense out of what I was telling her "so you're trying to say that you went to the bathroom and then somehow, you almost got kidnapped"

I nodded and bit my bottom lip as I managed to gather some tears in my eyes. I looked around the theatre and noticed that we were getting the attention of a few people so I decided to use that as an advantage

"Can we talk about this after the movie, a few people are already looking in our direction" I say with a very soft voice as I wiped the tear that miraculously dropped from my eye

She looked at me with a bit of sympathy and rubbed my back soothingly before she turned to face the movie

I felt relieved instantly. At least this would give me enough time to formulate my excuse

"Did you by any chance see Alex, he left to answer a phone call and haven't returned since then. I'm kinda worried" she looked at me with her beautiful eyes and I could clearly see worry in them.

I instantly felt guilty for what I've done, she's my best friend how could I betray her like that. I just shook my head, not trusting myself with words

I could clearly see disappointment and hurt in her eyes as she looked at her hands which were a bit sweaty. She looked like she could cry any moment from now as she stole a glance at the door probably hoping that alex would just walk through.

My guilt immediately worsened seeing her that way. Sophie is a very strong, independent young woman, I've never seen her this broken and hurt before except when it comes to the people she loves dearly.

From the look in her eyes it was clear she's madly in love with alex and here I am slowly destroying everything. I can't let this happen again, I can't let my lust get in the way of her happiness

I don't even want to imagine how hurt she'd feel if she finds out her so called best friend is secretly doing stuff with her beloved boyfriend. I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate myself right now

The movie finally came to an end and we left the movie theater. We're currently outside the theater because Sophie decided it would be best if we wait for Alex here.

"Have you called Alex yet" David asked looking around for signs of Alex

"Yeah. I texted him, he should be here soon" she replied weakly and David just nodded

She was still unhappy and I could tell by how dull her eyes look. Sophie normally have this spark in her eyes all the time and not seeing them right now especially because i'm the cause, which she doesn't know just makes me wanna kill myself.

Sophie would never do anything to hurt me and look how bad I've hurt her all thanks to my stupid lust

"Mandy can u tell me what happened to you" she said softly and if I didn't have sharp senses I probably wouldn't have heard her. David who was standing next to sophie came to stand beside me and put his hand around my shoulder, trying to comfort me

I bit my bottom lip and looked at the floor before speaking "while I was looking for the bathroom, I stumbled upon this guy and he looked nice at first. He asked me where I was headed and I told him I was looking for the bathroom" I paused a looked at sophie and she was looking at me with pity in her eyes and I felt bad again for lying to her right in the face

I continued again after recollecting myself "we kept walking and I just blindly followed him, until we reached a secluded area and I became suspicious of him. He noticed and started forcing me to follow him but luckily someone was there to help me"

I started crying and she pulled me in for a hug as she whispered soothing words in my ear. Only if she knew that it was all just a lie. Wow I really should get a degree in acting

When she pulled away, david wrapped me in a hug as well as he ran his hands through my soft hair

He pulled away and looked at me with his beautiful black eyes "do you want us to call the police so they can put that bastard in prison"

"No I think we should just let it go" I said and wiped my eyes with a tissue that sophie gave me

After about ten or fifteen minutes later Alex finally came, looking a bit disoriented.

"What happened alex, you missed the whole movie" sophie walked up to alex demanding an explanation.

He ran his hand through his soft hair that I just wanna feel one more time "I'm so sorry babe, my mom had an accident so I had to leave. I know I should have told you but I got really scared. I'm so sorry"

Without warning sophie pulled her boyfriend in for a hug and she rubbed his back soothingly. "Alex you should have told me. I would have followed you, I'm really sorry about your mom"

"She's fine, it's just a few broken bones but she would be fine. I promise baby I'd make it up to you in the best way I can" he sounded and looked so serious that if we weren't together in the bathroom I also would've believed him too.

"It's okay you don't have to make it up to me. It's not your fault and I understand" she looked at him with so much love in her eyes

"Okay. Can we get going now" david asked with his hands still draped over my shoulder

We all nodded in agreement as we filed out of the mall. I really just wanna sleep and forget about today's drama.
