"Susan!" Ella spoke even softly. "Are you all..."
"Don't bother about me! First, I get lied to by my best friend, even though I had confessed my feelings to you concerning Leon. Secondly, you betrayed my trust. You allowed me to humiliate myself even when you knew you were in a relationship with him. And now, you make me sound like the enemy. It took my whole being to swallow my pride and feelings, to reach out to you. Still, you are been mean to me. Why?" Susan sniffed louder and ended the call. She knew that Ella would immediately call her back.
Susan watched her phone ring for the first time. She smiled wickedly and didn't pick up the call. Towards the end of the second ring, she picked it up and yelled into the receiver, "What do you want from me?"
"Susan, I am truly sorry," Ella sounded very genuine with her pleas. I understand if you want to stay away from me. I have been a really bad and undeserving friend."
