"What are you talking about, Angela? Are you on something?" She definitely was. This wasn't her. I knew her better than anyone.
"I told you not to act stupid. The day of my bridal shower you just disappeared. I know you went off with Nick. I know you slept with him."
"Who the hell told you that?" I was about to straighten them out.
"Nick did! I had to go return the freaking ring. So naturally I asked what happened. Do you know what he told me?" No I did not, but I had a feeling it wasn't good, because my cousin had tears leaking out of her eyes. "He told me that you went up to our room and had sex with him. He said that you said that you still loved him. He said that after that night he wasn't sure anymore. He told me that you confused him. How could you do that to me?"
I took her by the arm and dragged her into the bathroom because shit was about to go down. Maybe I'd drown her in one of the toilets.
"Ok let's get one thing clear." I started. "I don't give a flying f@ck about Nick. I broke up with him because he was boring. He had no effect on me anymore-?
"But -? The little bitch cut me off.
"Shut up I'm not done. Don't you dare act like the innocent. I didn't do anything with him. You can check me out right now, and see that I don't have any STD's.
"I wish I was evil enough to be with him one last time just so you could feel what I felt. I didn't love him, but knowing that you guys went out right away hurts. Being with him so soon after the break up is just beyond disrespectful. Don't you dare call me a whore. I only sleep with available men. I'm not like you. I'm not selfish, I'm not stupid, and I don't just go around with anyone and everyone."
She knew what I meant by that. There was one time where she may have had either too much to drink or smoke. I found her in bed with a girl. Not only was she making out with a girl, but that girl was taken.
She screeched, trying to break free. "If I was the side bitch then why the f@ck did he want to marry me? Yeah I remember when you used to call, asking why he never popped the question. You wondered if there was something wrong with you! Well there is, Skyla! You have issues! Nick never wanted a future with you. He didn't want you to have his kids. That's why you're so jealous. That's why this hit you so hard. He asked me to marry him after only a few months."
"Yeah he asked, but did he ever go through with it?"
She managed to get one of her hands free and punched me in the ribs. I couldn't breath for a second. That was all she needed. One second.
Angela broke free and tried to pin me down. We wrestled on the floor of the bathroom. It was kind of gross and her nose was still bleeding. Angela had me the top half of my body pinned to the floor but my legs were still free, so I took advantage of it by kicking her in the crotch. She screamed and fell back. "Guess Nick really won't be doing you now, huh?"
I wasn't fighting over Nick. He was history. I did believe Angela when she said that Nick was the one who told her we slept together. It did sound like something he would do. I didn't care about him though, I cared about getting back at her. It was selfish and childish but that's what I wanted. Revenge.
