Should I Tell? / l.h

Chapter 37

I wanted April gone. She's got me and Luke constantly on edge, we haven't told anyone that we got back together just in case they told her, so for now we are sworn to secrecy and I'm okay with that, but only for now, I don't want to be hiding from her forever.
I told Luke I was going to speak to Marley and ask her what April has said about me, but he begged me not to, he said she would find out, but being me I didn't listen and I asked her to come over. April doesn't control me, or Luke or anyone for that matter and I'm not going to let her ruin this for me, just because she's jealous.
She was reluctant to come over at first, but I convinced her eventually. She should be here soon.

2 hours later...

"hey" I let Marley in and tried to be as cheery as I could, but she didn't return the favour,

"look I'm not staying long I've got plans with Michael, so say whatever it is you have to say" wow, April must have really got to her because she is never that forward,

"well you won't have to stay long if you just tell me what April has told you about me" she looked at me with panic, like there was someone listening in to our conversation and that's when I knew it weren't good, whatever it was,

"how do you know about that?" there was hesitation in her voice, compared to her voice a minute ago you would say she was scared,

"it doesn't matter how I know, now just tell me"

"I can't Lex, it's not something I can just blurt out and if April even knew I was here" she sounded sincere, but then the mention of April made my blood boil,

"if it's about me then yes you can and so what if April was here, your my friend and if you were a decent human being you tell me!" I was almost shouting at her and I felt bad, after all it weren't her fault,

"okay I'll tell you, but you have to promise me you won't go after her" I couldn't possibly promise that but I nodded along anyway,
"it was the day after you an Luke broke up, after you thought he cheated and she came to my house, she told me that she never really slept with him and that she forced herself on to him to see if he would, to break you two up, I'm guessing she's jealous but anyway, she told me that she would do anything to keep you two apart and that's when she started telling me all these secrets about you and that she would use them against you or something, I didn't believe her as first because I thought you would have told me all of this but then she had proof and I had to believe her. She also told me that if I was 'friends' with you then she would make my life a living hell, and I don't deserve that Lex, not that you do either but I had to think of me" I'm not concern about her life and whether it's hell or not, I'm concerned about mine and what secrets April has been spilling about me?

"what did she tell you Marley?"

"I'd rather not say, it's not nice" she wouldn't look at me, why won't she look at me?

"for God's sake just tell me!" I was getting impatient now, I just wanted to know, is that so bad?

"she told me stuff about when you were little, about your dad" I thought I forgot about all that, I thought it was in the past and I would never had to deal with it again. But I guess I would and it's something I'm not going to enjoy.
