When Love Hurts

When Love Hurts-Chapter Eleven- Betrayal

We finished our exams and next week will be the prom party. Pam and I had started our shopping days ago and was now eating while watching girls slamming each other to buy it now.

"Look at that, that girl practically snatched it from the shop keeper." I giggled when Pam pointed the girl she mentioned to me. I returned to eating my pasta.

"So how are you and Will now?" Pam shrugged and poked at her pizza.

"Fine, i guessed. Will is a great boyfriend, even though i don't like the idea of being tied down. He didn't want me to work after i graduated." I opened my mouth in astonishment.

"Oh my god Pam! Did he mean he wanted to marry you?" I shook my head and smiled at her evilly. Pam laughed and shrugged.

"More or less i guessed." I clapped my hands and pointed a finger at her.

"How did you do it? I can't believe it! Mr ex-player Will got wrapped around Pam's naughty finger.." Pam slapped my finger away that teased her. We laughed and continued eating our meal until we finished it.

"How about you? Are both of you going to the same university after you graduated?" I was wiping my mouth with a napkin when Pam asked.

"I'm not sure. Bruce never mentioned which school he's going but i'm going to the local one. My Dad wanted me to go to the one near New York but i refused." Pam nodded her head. We stood up and walked through the mall. My phone ranged and i looked at the screen.

"Hey Dad." I answered when i saw it was him.

"Hey sweetie. What time are you coming home?" I took my phone away from my ear and looked at the time.

"Around five Dad. Is something up?" Pam walked into a shop selling crystals and i followed.

"We had a gathering at Stanley's house tonight. Remember to be early, they're having a celebration." Pam was taking out a credit card to pay for a ring when my Dad asked.

"Okay, sure. I'll be home early." I cut off the line after our goodbyes and followed Pam who was on a prowl now, shopping for underwear. I brought a very sexy bra that Pam introduced after i thought of how Bruce will liked it. She drove me home as Bruce had his final club meeting and went upstairs to prepare for tonight. My Dad arrived at seven and he drove us to Bruce's house which had some people that i didn't see before in the living room.

"Hey there." I grasped when a hand rested on my waist. I turned around and saw Bruce grinning at me, i slapped his arm playfully as he tugged me into his arms. We proceeded to the dinner table that had a buffet spread style on it. He took a plate and started piling food on it.

"Here." I stared at him wide-eyed at the mountain of food on the plate he handed to me.

"It's too much.." I pushed the plate back to Bruce and he gave me his puppy eye look. I groaned and started to take another plate and piled food on it.

"Uh uh... You eat that yourself. I don't want to be a giant gorilla that no one wants." He smiled and walked with me to the living room after i finished putting some salad and meats on my plate.

"I do." I laughed when he said that and rolled my eyes at him.

"Yeah, right." He was about to retort when someone called his name. I rushed him away and took a seat in the living room, eating the salad by myself. Bruce was still caught up in a conversation with an elderly woman that i didn't recognised even after i finished my food. I stood up and went to find a drink before i stumbled upon my Dad and Uncle Stanley talking.

"It's a pity Ashley already got admitted into the local university. I had already submitted Bruce's application to Harvard and received their admittance today." I stopped in my tracks when I heard the words from Uncle Stanley's.
