Chapter 27: guilty confession

I called Guzman, too, and we decided to study at his house. More exactly, in his room where Polo, Ander and I had fun together while Guzman was asleep, that was crazy.

„See, you know it", Guzman and I cheered after Polo had given us only correct answers to our questions.

„Hey, what are you doing here?", he looked at Ander when he opened the door.

„I didn't know that you were coming."

„It's not a problem", Ander said carelessly.

„Shit, not again. Are we friends now or what? I'm always the last one who finds out about something. Let's come to the point. What's going on between the three of you?", Guzman stood up.

„Nothing, we just made out recently", Ander shrugged his shoulders causing Guzman to drop his jaw, „But it didn't mean anything."

Wasn't Ander the one who didn't want to talk about it?

„You made out? The three of you? While I laid on my bed drunken?", Guzman raised his voice.

„Yeah, we had a short blackout but it didn't mean something, we're just friends", I explained quickly, „I mean Ander and I are still dating but except for that just friends."

Guzman looked at Polo as if he expected him to say something else.

„We just fucked the same girl", Polo said as carelessly as Ander which I hit him for.

„Just fucked? I'm worried about you and you make fun of me? Aren't there others you could fuck with?"

„Cayetana, we're here, come to us", Lu waved her new friend over to our table at the party.

She's spoken about her for hours - at least it felt like hours.

„Hi, Emilia", I told her when she came to Carla and I.

I sat between Carla and Guzman. Next to him were an angry Ander and a happy Polo. Ander would have loved it, too, if he wasn't so damn jealous and stubborn.

„We had to go there by underground", Cayetana later complained about while talking about her irrelevant story, „That smelled so bad."

Valerio, Guzman and Polo had left so the only person that I liked talking to and who sat beside me was Carla right now.

„So what? Calm down, it's really not so bad", Carla replied thinking the same as I did.

„I'll go, alright?", Ander said as if he cared about anyone's opinion when I knew that he didn't.

„Yeah, sure. You don't care about dirty clothes because you wear a dress from last year's collection. And Em, you wore that dress to our last party", Lu moved her hands around arrogantly.

„I've got better things to do than thinking about the clothes that I wear the whole day. If you forgot, Lu, my brother's in prison and we need money for him so I sold most of my dresses", I hissed.

„Yeah, sure. You two don't even need dresses when the only thing that you think about is the next needy boy to fuck with. I mean, you even share your boys, that's sick", she played with her hair as if she didn't even care about our feelings - because she probably didn't .

„I'll go and talk to Polo", I rolled my eyes knowing that Lu was ready to say more.

„Hey, what's wrong?", he looked at me sympathetically, pulled me into his arms and laid his chin on my shoulder.

„Ander's still pissed and Lu's being a bitch. I don't even know why I'm still here", I sighed.

„Don't let Lu talk to you like that. She's not worth it, Em", Polo moved our bodies to the music slowly since we were standing on the dance floor.

„You know what? I'm bringing us a bottle", I thought that would help to keep us entertained so we left the dance floor, Polo was still overly happy.

„Hey, one bottle for us and our friend", he told bartender and pointed to none other than Cayetana.

I had no problem with her but she was just like Lu and I can't be around two of them, their behavior is annoying.

„For me? Oh, thank you. The cards wear off from shopping", she replied.

„You still pay with a card?", I looked confused.

She was so rich and cool and what else and still paid with a card? Well, that's a difference between Lu and her.

„Vintage, huh?", Polo commented and paid with his phone for the two bottles.

„Yeah, okay, when I wanted to enable pay by phone, I went shopping until my battery was dead and had to go on the street to call me a taxi by a hand signal. That's vintage, isn't it?", she bragged again.

„So, how do you like Las Encinas?", I asked.

„It's a dream come true, thank you."

„You're too generous, Polo", I laid my arm around him and chuckled, „She just wanted you to pay. Not all girls are like Carla and I."

„I know, that's why I wanted to talk about yesterday", he now looked at my like a sweet but poor dog.

„Polo, it-"

„Don't say it didn't mean something when I know that you liked it."

„That doesn't help, Polo. I'm with Ander", I shouted back through the loud music.

Something in Polo changed. He suddenly looked dizzy and breathed heavily so I reacted quickly and brought him to the bathroom so he could take one of his pills but the combination of the pills and the alcohol made him throw up.

„What's wrong?", Ander asked when he noticed us while he washed his hands.

„Pills and alcohol, I don't know more", I sighed.

„Come on, stand up. We'll get you home."

„I lay here since more than an hour", Polo replied looking really sick, „No one noticed besides Em."

„What's wrong with you Polo?", Ander asked him softly after we finally arrived at his house and brought him into his room, „Listen, I'm sorry about earlier, we're still friends. But friends who don't share their girlfriends."

I smiled half, he had a softer voice than when we were talking in the morning at least.

„Polo, talk to us, we're your best friends", I bend down to look him in the eyes.

„You can tell us everything, we understand it."

„I can't."

„Why not?"

„You would never forgive me, especially not you, Em."

„We just told you nothing's going to change", I gave him a warm smile but it didn't help.

„I've killed her."

„What?", Ander laid back in his chair and laid his hand on my leg to make me take a step back, too.

„It's my fault, I've killed Marina."

I didn't think clearly, I mean that couldn't be possible. He was lying, he had to be lying. But while I was still wondering if he said the truth or not, Ander took my hand and was ready to leave.
