The Precious Facade

Chapter Eight: True Colours

Margarette's P.O.V

The sound of a knocking on the shed door woke me up. I looked over to see Bryson next to me snoring softly. I heard my sister Pia's voice chime in.

"Margie are you in there? Mommy said that your friends Vicky and Mariah are here to see you. Are you asleep?"

"Shit", I said to myself. "I'll be right out Pia"

"Okay", she said sweetly and I could hear her skipping away. I pictured her long dirty blonde hair following behind her.

I pushed Bryson and tapped on his head. He needed to wake up and get out now or Victoria would slaughter both of us. Unless she already knew which made me shiver atbthe thought. I looked around and saw a bucket of water and reached for it. With that I tipped the bucket over on him which caused Bryson to jolt up.

"What's going on?", he asked rubbing his eyes.

"Victoria is here and you need to go"

He jumped up and immediately got dressed. "What the heck is she doing here ?"

I shrugged.

He finished zipping up his pants and laid a kiss on my cheek. I smiled blushing and he winked at me. "You better get out of here before you get skinned alive".

"Will do Captain". He opened the door and went around back to his car. I sighed and walked back to the house trying to get as much hay off of me as possible. As I made my way through to the kitchen I saw Amelia and Victoria sitting at the table. Victoria looked up at me and glared holes into my soul but said nothing. Uh oh. Amelia mouthed to her 'not now Vic'. They walked over to me.

"We need to talk", said Amelia

I gulped.

We went up to my room and I locked the door behind me.

"So what's going on?"I asked knotting my fingers.

Amelia sighed. "I told Marc the secret"

"What secret?" I asked playing dumb

"That she fucking came back to life dumb ass", Victoria snapped

I looked at Victoria and the hurt in her eyes was present. My stomach sank with the guilt I felt in that moment. Amelia put her arm on Vic's shoulder which Victoria shrugged off.

"Vic relax", said Amelia soothingly

"No I won't fucking relax, this dumb whore is sleeping with my damn ex Lia"

She walked up to me. "And you didn't even have the balls to tell me? You were supposed to be my best friend Margarette and you didn't think to bring up in conversation 'oh by the way I'm having sex with your boyfriend just in case you wanted to know'.Is that how it is now?"her voice cracked.

"I-I'm so-"

*SMACK*

I felt Victoria's hand collide with my face leaving a stinging in my cheek after it contacted. A single tear fell down my face.

"Victoria stop it", Amelia shouted

"You know who had the balls to tell me? Kennedy the bottom left of the pyramid", she shook her head and walked out the room slamming the door behind her. Amelia looked at me. "You knew what you did, I just hope Vic forgives you for it". With that she left the room trying to catch up with Vic. I sat there. Alone.
