"So you and Matteoâ
Cora asks plopping on my bed after my mom scolded me when my
unwanted guest of a mate and Dante left to go.
"there's no Matteo and I, haven't you heard that he was here for your
brother" I deadpan at her.
She raised her hands in surrender
"okay" I sat beside her "in fact I'm disappointed a little" she sat up
straight putting her hand on my shoulder.
"Anything happens?â
"No, in fact Gia was the reason I went to the game and after partyâ she
frown a little.
"Gia" she repeated and I nod my head
"I thought we're all friends here but Jay"
"Jay, why Jay?"
I took another breath "I don't believe what he says. He said Gia only
used me so that she can sleep with Kevin and him.
There was a pregnant pause
"WTF did she do"
Not even want to keep her waiting so I told her everything. Up to he
part where I saw someone in front of me when I woke up again then
Matteo appear even though it's blur.
Then that's all I remembered nothing more. Cora quickly stood up
"where are you going?"
"I am going to talk to her" she moves towards the door.
"Cora not now, I just want to be alone now" still she opens the door
"speak of the devil" she said folding her arms.
I look past her to find Gia her eyes all puffy and red.
"Who let you in?" Cora started
"you got the nerve to come here after what you did to her," Gia started
to sob.
I move between the two of them.
"Gia, Cora please not now... I am tired and I don't want my parents to
hear this"
"please Ada, Cora just let me explainâ she sobs.2
She's my friend and I know what she did was wrong but at least give
her a chance to explain herself.
She did made an effort by coming here to my home so why not hear
her out.
"Come in"
I close the door behind them. Gia got on her knees before me "Gia" to
be honest I don't like seeing this
"Please forgive me and I am so sorry."
I didn't know what to do I wasn't used to my friend being like this. In
fact, I'm her best friend and doing this to her will also cause me guilt.
So I got on my knees too hugging her, Cora just roll her eyes.
"It's alright Gia, it's alrightâ I helped her up sitting her on the chair.2
"I know what I did was wrong but I promise you it wasn't my intention
to hurt you" she sniffle.
"I thought Jay likes meâ she started.
"I miss out school because I was hanging with Jay and his friends" Cora
handed her a tissue.
"I lied to my parents that I went to Cora's pack for our projectâ Cora
furrow her brows "Why?"
"I don't know I guess when your crush take notice of you, suddenly it
felt like I won a 1 billion lottery."2
Cora and I nod in understanding that all girls aren't the same. There are
some of us who falls easily, some who are calculative, some who are
tough. You just name other types you know, indeed even when we're
half creatures we are still humans with feelings too.
"It doesn't gives you the right to do that to her"
"yes I know that and that's why I am here, I was hurt when Ed" she tries
to wipe off her tear.
"What about Ed?" I ask her
"heâs my mate, I didn't know until he told me so. I didn't believe him
but the sparks I felt and this weird feeling inside confirms he was right.
He wanted to reject me because of Jay"
Cora moves grab a tissue and handed to her, yes she hasn't turn
eighteen yet, more months and then she'll be so her wolf hasn't mature
either.
She pause with a heavy sigh before continuing "so I didn't want to
bring you to the after party but seeing you and Ed hurts me after he
lash out on me calling me names, and I guess I wanted to hurt you in
the same way.3
So when Jay ask to bring you if not then I won't sleep with him so I
thought why not it could be a perfect revenge to Ed" she sobs.
I remember there was a time during the half quarter of the game that
Gia and Ed have been gone for too long from the bleachers.
âI'm sorry and I swear I didn't genuinely mean it. I'm also sorry for
telling Matteo that he could fuck you now you're drunk as your drink
was being spike"
I was shocked to hear this Matteo, "but he kind of choke me in hearing
those words" she added and even more I'm speechless.
"He" I started to said that he has no right to choke her and to think why
he would the bloody ass care Gia cut me off immediately.
She look up at me "you know the drink wasn't for you. It was supposed
to be Jake I hate him when I heard him telling you of what I did. So I
spike his drink as I want to tie him up naked on the street to cause
shame.â
I didn't know how to feel, whether to tell her fuck off and go to tell
were not friends anymore or should I just put up with it. My fist
clenching at the same time I was more than hurt.
"Gia, I thank you for you being forthcoming but I need time to think
about all of this,â
I know it's not just my friendship I need time from. I also need more
time from Matteo as he's kind of confusing me now with his new
attitude.
"Please, Gia, what you did was unforgivable but I don't blame you
about the drink as it wasn't your true intentions. But what you say to
those guys and Matteo hurt me the most,â I try to not cry.
"Yet for the sake of our long term friendship I'll see past through it and
I forgive you" I smile at her.1
"I do forgive you but I need time, not just from our friendship but there
are some things going on in my life. I'll tell you guys all about it when
I'm ready.â
Cora and Gia both exchanged looks but I try not to. She nod in
understanding before crushing me in to a hug along with Cora.
They left my room afterwards and I sat there on my bed feeling another
heavy load uplift from my chest.
