“Hi babes” She says with a huge grin. I took one final look at her figure and manage to croak out.
“Becky?!” Sandy walks forward and I could see she was just as shocked.
“You… you went for an audition?” Sandy finally says. She chuckles.
“Nah… I didn’t, actually, this is the new me” She slurs on her words and I could see a silver tooth in her mouth. Jesus!
“The new you?” Sandy says in disbelief. Becky nods.
“Yeah!… The old Becky is gone dearies. She has seen a lot of heartbreaks, so I decided to go for a change” She swept her hand down her body and giggle. She’s drunk too.
I and sandy exchanged surprised glances.
“Becky…. what do you mean by that!” I ask her, my voice low. She huffs.
“Long story short.. I decided being gay is the best option you know after constant heartbreak from guys. I went for a date!. My girlfriend, oh my gee, she’s so cute!, I like her already, she’s so romantic, we went to see a movie, eat dinner then went to an icecream stand had fun!… oh my!, I feel wasted!” She giggle again and I shook my head, mouth agape, this ain’t making sense.
“What!” Sandy blurts out, or more like yells out. Becky squeeze her face.
“Jeez sandy can you bring down your voice, you’d hurt my ears!” I take another sweep at her outfit before placing a palm over my mouth and my hand on my waist.
“Becky!…. Have you gone bonkers!, what the fuck do you mean by all this crazy words!, and for fuck sake what happened to your hair!, and your clothes!” Sandy yells and I run my fingers through my hair at her alarming voice.
Becky had so much hair, a rich touch of brown and gold. It unbelievable that I can’t see it any longer. She even had her hair dyed red!, blessed virgin Mary!
“Jeez!, you guys are so funny!, what’s wrong with my outfit, ain’t it dope” Sandy dilates her eyes in surprise.
“You call this dope!, for fuck sake Becky are you nuts!”
“No I’m not! its how I want it okay!… and I don’t care what you guys think about it!…. I’m off to bed!” She try to shove past sandy but sandy pushes her back.
“We aren’t done talking Becky!” Sandy snarls and I could see she was trying not to lose it
“What the!… get the fuck out of my way Sandy!” Becky shoves sandy and storms towards her room.
Sandy storm after and yank her by the arm, turning Becky to face her.
“Sandy!” I call out in warning but it was too late. She dealt Becky a slap across the face. I gasp and move back as Becky yelps in pain.
She slaps her again and drag her back, shoving her to the couch roughly.
“if you don’t snap out of it I would help you to okay!” Sandy yells down at Becky. We went silent for seconds. Sandy breathing heavily.
Sandy’s got a fiery temper. she barely gets angry but if she does she spits out fire. I nor Becky could match up to her. I’m the meek one anyways.
“Listen to me and get this into your fucked up brain!, you aren’t the only one who’s got problems okay!” Sandy pokes her on her shoulders and I hold her back.
“That’s enough Sandy… please!” I plea.
“Let me go!” She yanks her arm from my grasp and walks to a couch to sit.
“Fuck! you’re so annoying!” She snarl and rake her fingers at her hair.
I sit down slowly opposite Becky as I stare at her. She kept a straight face and her face was all pinky from the slap. we remain that way for what seemed like eternity. Sandy puffing out her breath angrily while folding her arms.
Becky broke the silence with her quiet sobs. We watch her cry for sometime. Pain gnawing at me, as I stare at Becky, she looks so small now without her usual long hair, and her body looks pale. her face with so much makeup. What’s happening to us! Sandy gets off the couch and walks over to her. She sit beside her and pulls her into a side hug. It was Becky’s turn to bury her face in her clothes and sob.
“I’m such a fool sandy!, such a fool!” She mutter tearily in between her sobs. I go over and sit beside Becky so she’s between us.
“Its okay Becky, it’s not the end of the world…. sandy also broke up with Dylan you know”
Her sobs seize and she withdraws, looking at sandy then at me. God this ain’t Becky!, she looks so… miserable!. streaks of mascara ran down her face cos of her tear filled face.
“He did!” She voice out tiredly. I nod and she turns to face sandy who’s face was taut. Sandy shrugs.
“Look guys!, I don’t care if Dylan or harry or liam aren’t with us anymore!, what I care about is we not being there for each other!. We are best friends for Pete’s sake, we are supposed to be there for each other at times like this!, not fighting and bickering at each other. we aren’t kids anymore for fucksake!”
I bit my lower lip and look down my fingers at the harshness in her voice, she looks so angry. Becky sniffs and wipe her tears.
“And you Becky what happened to you and Harry, cos he told me you misunderstood something” Becky sighs and shook her head.
“I thought we had a thing Sandy, but I was wrong. I called him the last time and a girl answered the phone. Told me she was his girlfriend…”
“… And you didn’t wait to hear his own side of the story huh?” sandy interrupts her. Becky scoffs
“What’s there to hear sandy, it was obvious” Sandy chuckles bitterly.
“You know what Becky, if you continue with this sort of proud bitchy attitude, you are gonna get hurt twice daily” I bit my lip, I would have chuckled if not for the situation.
“How is it my fault!” She blurts out.
“Its your fault Becky, what do you expect from a guy you see as a fling, you guys should have a heart to heart discussion to decide if you’re just flings or more!” Becky stares at sandy.
“But what If he sees me as a fling”
“Then get your ass out of his life becky, there are better guys out there” Becky blew out a breathe and a small smile tug at her lips.
“You think it would work?” Sandy pats her cheeks.
“I know it would work Becky okay?” She was smiling now. She pulls her into a hug.
“Thanks Sandy” She mutters and we smile. She withdraws and hugs me too
“That done…. you’re next emmy” The smile disappears from myself as I withdraw.
“Huh?… me?” I ask her as I frown.
“Nah… your twin sister” She rolls her eyes and Becky laughs.
“what did I do?” I itch my hair.
“You’re acting like a kid Emilia!, you love liam don’t you!” I clamp my mouth at the suddenness of her question. I didn’t expect it anyways. Never expected that. The thought of him suddenly makes my stomach tighten in emotions. I tuck my hair back and sigh.
“I don’t know Sandy” I breathe out as they watch me intently.
“You don’t know! seriously! jeez stop acting so naive emmy and admit it to yourself!, if you don’t I’d call him and tell him to forget about you!….. I’ve still got his digits remember?” I widen my eyes. I totally forgot about that. Then why didn’t he call, he’s got my number too. No calls, no text messages, nothing from him. Hasn’t he eben forgotten about me!
“Emmy….” Sandy calls bringing me out of my thoughts. I clench my teeth and close my eyes before releasing it slowly.
“Fine… I do!” i blurt out. Wishing I hadn’t said it. The truth is I’m too afraid to admit what I feel is love. Becky and sandy exchange looks and Becky looks like she’s trying to hold back her laugh.
“You do!…. and does he feel the same way towards you?” Sandy looks amused and I roll my eyes at them
“He told me one time that…. he’s… falling for me” Becky gasps and sandy widen her eyes.
“No fuckin way girlfriend!’ Sandy says and they burst into laughter. I stare at them. Are they seriously kidding me!.
“Gosh you guys are so annoying!” I snarl and grab the controller as they continue laughing.
“Okay okay… emmy, take a chill pill, pull off that angry face…. I’m sorry I just couldn’t help it” Sandy breathes out and they crack up in laughter again. Really!.
“So emmy… what you gon do, he’s gone now you know” Becky says as she stops laughing. I sigh and fiddle with the controller.
“I really don’t know guys, maybe if he comes back as promised, we would talk, but if he dosen’t… I guess I just have to move on and forget I ever knew him” I sigh out, knowing it was impossible.
“I know he isn’t just gonna leave you this way, he owes you a lot emmy, just keep hoping, he’d be back” I smile sadly.
“I hope so guys, I hope so…. so sandy, seems you’ve fixed our own issues, how about you and Dylan” Sandy smirks and gets off the couch.
“i don’t back down so easily guys, I know all Dylan’s weaknesses. I’d just wait for the right time and strike… I need to know if really meant his words” A misvheivous smile tug at her lips and we laugh.
“Easy girlfriend… easy” I grin as she laughs.
“I’m not gonna wait till it’s the right time though” Becky says as she got off the couch and fold her arms.
“Sandy, you’re gonna cover up at work for me tomorrow. I’m taking the day off. I wanna settle things out with Harry” She wink and I shook my head and chuckle. This is so crazy!
“Okay babes that enough…. Becky go take off those weird clothes and wash up. let’s get wasted tonight” She says and Becky squeals before padding out of the room. I chuckle as sandy walks to the kitchen, probably to bring drinks. I palm myself and sigh. I’m happy we’re together again. Glad we aren’t fighting anymore, but I have to pay with getting wasted tonight, jeez!… sounds fucked up.
Becky’s pov
I smear a sizeable amount of lipgloss on my lips and smack my lips dropping it back on the table. I smirk at my self in the mirror before getting off the chair. I adjust my bobble hat, so it covered my gross looking haircut before grabbing my handbag.
Sandy left for work hours ago alongside Emilia, who wanted to speak with Madam Chloe about taking her back. I suddenly regret ever making that stupid decision of having to turn gay. Its not just my thing. I’m straight and would always remain one.
All thanks to sandy. I think I needed that slap last night. it seemed to have calmed my nerves. I’ve got to set my mind straight on I and Harry relationship. I know its more than a fling, I don’t enjoy making out with flings the way I did with harry. It’s more than just that, that’s why I must be sure if it is. if it’s not, I’d take Sandy’s advice, get my ass outta his life and keep hoping for my prince charming
I walk out of the apartment and slide into a cab as it pulls up. I tell him the address and pull out my phone as it buzzes. I swipe the screen to see missed calls and tons of messages all from Harry. I know he wouldn’t be at work on a tuesdays. Its always his day off. That’s a bonus for me. I chuckle and relax into the seat. I hope my hopes dosen’t get dashed.
I unstrap my belt as the car pulls to a stop. Okay now I’m nervous. I fish out some dollar bills from my purse and pass it to the cabman.
“Keep change” he thanks me and I smile back in return. I got out of the cab and wait till he drives away before crossing the busy road. I stare at the large compound he lives in and blew out a breath. I push the gates and step in, looking around me as I walk towards his own apartment. I walk to his large porch and was about ringing the bell when I heard arguing voices inside. My eavesdropping attitude was piqued and I look around, seeing no neighbours at sight I move closer. Of course they’d be at work.
“Zoe!… I told you i can’t do this anymore!, what the fuck don’t you understand!” I press my ears closer.
“What happened to us Harry, you were crazily in love with me!” I hear harry scoff. uh oh, what’s happening.
“That feeling died months ago zoe!. You and I know you never loved me you just capitalised on the love I had back then for you!”
“… well it’s changed harry!, I know I was wrong in the past but now I’m in love with you” I widen my eyes. What the fuck!
“Well I’m not Zoe!… cos I’m in love with someone else okay!” I hear her suck in her breath and then the sound of a slap. Fuck!, don’t tell me it was for Harry! I clench my fist as I try not to lose my cool. Breathe Becky. Her next words made me freeze to my spot.
“Fuck harry you’re so shameless!… its Becky huh!, that creep of a girl!, who is no match to me!, what the fuck does she have that I don’t!, jeez I saw the pictures you took with her. She looks so skanky Harry!, she isn’t your type!, I am and you know it!”
I clench my teeth at her words. Okay that’s it. I palm the doorbell in anger as I hear them pause. My face clouds in anger as I hear the click clark sounds of her heels. Seconds later the door opens.
“Surprise!” I grin at her and shove her roughly inside.
She yelps as she fall to the tiled floor of the living room. I smirk at harry who looks shocked.
“Hey babe… give me a minute” I tell him and face Zoe who had scrambled to her feet.
“What the fuck are you..” I shut her up with a slap. She holds her cheek and take a step back. Anger surge through my veins.
“You stupid bitch!… you made me do stuffs I don’t wanna do!” I snarl angrily and drag her by the hair, tightening my grip on it. If not for her, I wouldn’t have jumped into conclusions about Harry!. If not for her I’d still have my hair!
“Let me go!” She yells. Harry holds my arm but I yank it away.
“You bitch!” I whip her across the face before shoving her to the floor. She crashed on her butt and she cries out.
“This is gonna teach you not to mess with the wrong person. I kick her continuously as she she cry out in pain. .
“Get the fuck outta here now!… Harry’s done with you and he’s now mine okay!… and he’s gonna remain mine!” I yank her up and shove her towards the open door. She struggles against my grip and I grab a handful of her hair and bring her face close so we’re inches apart.
“Don’t you ever mess with Becky again ever!” I push her out roughly and slam the door hard behind her. Fury addling my sense of reasoning. I shove past Harry and walk to the couch. I grab her bag and walk back to the door and open it. I threw the bag on her as she held it immediately. I trail my gaze up and down her body.
“Bye Zoe!.. and don’t you ever step your ugly feet in here again!”
I smirk and slam the door again. I turn to look at Harry looking at me with a shocked expression. I ran my tongue across my lower lip and walk up to him.
“Becky I’m sorry…” I place a finger against his lips.
“Shhh… You don’t have to say anything Harry, i overheard your quarrels… and I should be the one apologizing” I pause and fiddle with the strap of my bag. His face dissolves into a smile.
“So you aren’t gonna beat me up too huh?” A blush crept up my cheeks.
“I’m just gonna go freshen up okay” I peck him on the mouth and walk towards the steps. I turn back to see him staring at me.
“You could join me you know I’d do the beating in there…” I smirk at him. I giggle when I hear him racing after me, oh my!…. I hope I don’t go home late tonight.
