The Player's charm

Chapter 33 - Rachel Dumfy?

I got back to my room and Rachel was waiting at my door with an apologetic expression. Was today national make-things-right-with-Kelly day; first Brandon, which was my idea then Mason attempted and failed and now Rachel, is Justin going to show up next?

I walked up to her, still angry about what just happened with Mason and I was about to take that angry out on her, I mean, it's partly her fault.

"Did your lover send you here? Send you like some love sick little toy at his disposal, just waiting for commands." I spat.

"Okay firstly, you need to tone down that attitude because I'm here to apologize, not fight and secondly, what are you talking about?"

"Sorry, you just really have the worst timing. The worst timing to sleep with him and worst timing to apologize for it. So if you don't mind, I don't want to see you nor hear your apologize." I said before walking into my room and closing the door behind me.

"Kelly, I'm sorry and I don't expect you to want to speak to me or open this door but I'm really sorry and I'm not leaving, even if I have to sleep right here, I'm not leaving." I heard Rachel say from the other side of the door.

I sat down on the floor, with my back against Sam closet.

I have no idea what I am doing. I am fighting with Mason and I did not have my best friend at my side to talk to or comfort me and things were awkward between Justin and I, ever since he and Mason got into a fight and now I'm left with no one.

"Kelly... I've always been jealous of you. I always wanted to be you. People always loved you and wanted to be friends with you but I always struggled to make friends and guys don't want to date me. I ruined my only chance at having a guy that liked me for more than just my body and I threw it away when I slept with his friend."

*Flashback*

Dylan left the room after walking in on Mason and Rachel and saw Greg walking towards him.

"Bro, where were you?" Dylan asked Greg.

"I had to go do something, why?"

"I just walked in on Mason and Rachel."

"Rachel? Doing what?"

"What do you think?... Wait, are you and-"

"Give me your key." Greg demanded.

"Shit. Bro, I didn't know."

"Dylan, Give me your fucking key."

"Greg, calm down."

"Mason! Mason!"

Meanwhile inside of the room Rachel was telling Mason not to open the door, while she jumped up and got dressed and Mason didn't question her.

"If one of you don't open that fucking door, I'm going to kick it down." Greg said and Dylan opened the door.

Greg walked in immediately grabbing Mason by his hoodie, at the chest and slammed him into the closet (hard enough to dent it) and punching him.

"Greg, stop!"

"Rachel, Shut up!"

Mason pushed Greg off of him enough for him to speak "Bro, what the hell?"

"What the hell, really? How about you explain how you just slept with my girl." Greg said and Mason expression from confused to surprised as he turned to face Rachel and Greg came at him again.

Mason put his arms up in front of him "Woah, woah. Bro, bro, bro, I didn't know. I didn't know. I promise I didn't know."

"Too late." Greg said before punching him again.

"Greg and I have been talking since that night, we weren't dating but we were something and I ruined it when I slept with Mason. Kelly, I lost you and a guy that actually liked me because I was stupid and chose a guy that obviously did not care about me."

I opened the door and she sat on the floor crying, standing up immediately when she saw me. "Kelly, I'm sorry."

I answered bluntly "I know you are." I stepped aside to let Rachel into the room and closed the door behind her.

"Kelly please just let me explain."

"What do you have to explain? You lied to me throughout high school. Our entire friendship has coexisted with you lying to me and then you chose not to tell me even though you knew I was going to date him and you still said nothing even after sleeping with him again. Rachel, if Mason didn't out you, you would not have told me."

"I never told you because it was embarrassing. I was, or am madly in love with someone who doesn't even care that I exist."

"Then why do all of this? Why did you ship us and want us to be together if you loved him? Why go after Greg, just to hurt him?

"I didn't plan to hurt Greg but I knew that Mason liked you, I could see it since freshman year, so I knew that you could break his heart and I wanted you to."

"You knew that he liked me?"

"Yes, it was obvious."

"And you said nothing?"

"Are you forgetting that he's Mason McConner? You hated him before the two of you started sleeping together."

"I'm not sleeping with him."

"It's not like you never thought of it or nearly did."

"What's your point, Rachel?" I asked getting annoyed.

"Mason is hot and charming and girls swarm towards him-"

"Tell me something I don't know."

"I was just thinking of myself and I was a horrible friend and I'm really sorry. Do you think that you could ever forgive me?" She said seeming sincere.

I really wanted to hit this girl, not for Mason but for using and lying to me but she's still my best friend.

"I hate what you did and I'm not okay with it but I'm not going to let a guy break us a part, even if it is a hot, muscular, annoying, beautiful creature."

Rachel hugged me immediately and I think she was crying again "I love you and I'm so sorry."

I hugged her back "I'm not doing this for you, I'm just doing this because I want to know about you and Greg." I said teasing her and she laughed.
