These past few weeks has been torture to watch my once closest people to me pretend that I was the one who hurt them. It took weeks to adjust myself from the budding friendship I once had, to remaining alone during classes and scoring the highest marks in my grade to make sure I leave in a months time to join my sister on her vacation..
My family were aware of my newly found singledom and have spoken of their happiness that I finally came to my senses. Both parents have left me alone until I finish my final exams. They both are aware on how hurt I am right now and how staying with Maverick has also helped me keep my distance from my so called friends.
A few of my classmates have noticed the estrangement between Sarah and I. As both of us come from rich and influencial families but they know my family is a tip of the ice berg since my family comes from old money that founded this state we live in alongside Mavericks family.
The girls who had been envious of my friendship with Sarah have decided to come out of the woodworks and started throwing sniping comments at her. Some have started to spread rumours that were silent whispers before are now floating around like crazy.
I found out that Jacob and Sarah had been sleeping with each other behind my back for nearly a year and that she was actually pregnant with Jacobs baby and he wasn't ready to become a father. The night I walked in on them was because of Sarah bullying the Genius in our class who told me where to find Jacob and Sarah. At the time I didn't think anything of it until I witnessed what looked like something they have done numerous times and I was the only one not aware of their relationship.
After finding out about the pregnancy was what made Jacob plead again with me to take him back. Stating she isn't pregnant it's all a plot to get me to end things with him so that they wouldn't have to look like the bad guys. I ignored every time Jacob tried talking to me, tried explaining his side and every time he tried someone would be there to interrupt him and state facts with proof.
Finding out that Sarah actually needed me as an ally to help her family business and that with Jacobs help they could grow their businesses with me as an ally instead of a friend. Today was my last exam that I completed and I went back to my dorm slowly packing up everything I own and getting ready to move it back home. I hadn't been in the dorm for very long before I heard the door slam.
Quickly checking if my door was locked I continued with my task and keep packing away my clothes when that was done I set my sights on the stuff on the wall, removing my posters, the bulletin board I made and just stripped my room bare. I knew that the Maverick driver would be here soon to move me out in one go as maverick put it.
It took a lot of convincing that I could move myself out of the dorms safely and he was unhappy with how I refused any help. It is after all my dorm room that I made myself a home here and now I was moving on. I was growing up and although I was still hurt about my break up but I was okay and safe.
I knew that my brother in law and Maverick would have done this all for me but I thought I'd do it and I would feel just as accomplished as I did when I came in here. Today was a big day for me and I had gained it in four years, moving away from home, moving away by myself.
As I looked around the room I had made a home with I looked at the place I called my own and had lived on my own away from family had finally dawned on me that this was it and I was about to enter the big world stage. Bracing myself I stood, opening my bedroom door and stepping out for the first time in weeks to see my roommates all staring at me.
Slowly making my way down the stairs to the landing I placed a box by the door and made another trip back up for the other boxes. Surprisingly that I fit four years into six cardboard boxes. The look on everyone's face as they stared silently at me as I placed the last box down before turning around tomface them.
"Say what ever it is you want to ask," I stated as I stood staring at them I knew some knew of the secret relationship of Sarah and her many conquest and two out of four of us went to high school with her and knew her better then I did.
"So you just handed your boyfriend to the local easy girl?," Miranda spoke up first when the other two gasped at her question "Not handed, just refused to pick up someone's left overs," I stated point blank that made her smile and nod. "Is it true that you caught them together in the act?," Joseline asked as I nodded "Banging like rabbits, on top of my dresser in my room," I stated when the third roommate had looked away in shame I didn't acknowledge her.
"It's for the best, I now know what type of people they are and they will do better together, I wish them the best in the future," I stated when the one that had not said anything suddenly looked at me and said " You know she's pregnant right?," I just shrugged as I didn't care, "Of course she's pregnant how else could she land Jacob Roberts," Miranda sneer as she stared at Julie "If memory serves me right, you knew about their secret hook ups," Miranda stated when Julie's eyes snapped to me "That's not true Miranda," Julie snapped as she glared daggers at her, "Oh really Julie, you were so set on them joining us and even told Jacob to wait in Becs room and then you sent Sarah up there. You knew they were sleeping together," Joseline accused Julie who was red in the face and we knew she set it up.
"It was you who put them in my room and it was at your insistence to use the main bathroom. You helped keep their relationship a secret," I realized as she didn't look at me and her face said it all. "They were bound to be together and I just helped you know the truth," Julie stated without remorse when I felt my heart break and the pain intensified.
Walking towards her, I realized why she was always hole, why she always kept Sarah company whenever she came over she probably the reason Sarah became friends with me. "You sly fucken bitch, you did it on purpose." I spoke when the other two looked at her with shocked faces. "Tell us you didn't do that Julie? I thought you said she bullied you through high school?," Miranda spoke astonished by the turn of events.
"She did bully me back in high school but our families pushed us to get over our differences. I saw how Jacob and her looked at each other I didn't think they would sleep together but they did and that's on them," Julie stated as I stared at her and relised she did the same thing to me. She kept saying nothing's happening they came over for you. The more she acted like a friend the more she became an ally with Sarah. Noting half of the things I owned Sarah would wear them give them to Julie.
Even my most prized possession that she gave to Julie as a token of friendship that I never realized as a pay off right in front of me. I spun on my heel and headed straight back up to Julie's room and ripped all my belo gings from her. My GHD straightener, my jewelry that Sarah had help herself too, the make up that was also given to her and every piece of clothing that I owned.
I was livid as thought back to all the times that stuff had gone missing and Julie blunt denials that she didn't take it and that I was given to her. Yes given to her to hide from the fact that she was aiding them behind my back. Descending back down the stairs I entered the kitchen where my roommates still sat and placed everything on the table as I stared at the horror on Julie's face.
"I always wondered how Sarah kept getting in to the dorm and started noticing my stuff was missing. At first it was small like jewellery, then my make up and then you took my dress from my sisters bridal party and I realized that she was paying you with my stuff," I stated when Julie's face went red and her eyes were bulging out of her face.
"This is all worth two months of rent for our dorm, Miranda and Joseline you both can either have this or sell it and you will get a good price for everything," I said when I laid it all on the table. "This is for me moving out at such short notice that I hope you find a replacement to cover my end or for a fresh start if you both decide to leave." I spoke when there was a knock on the door, opening it I was shocked to find Jacob and Sarah at the door that I slammed it's shut and locked it.
Before spinning around and finding Julie staring at me with a small smile, guess she wants to find out why Sarah looks the way she does, when I strode towards her before she could move and wrapped my hand around her throat and squeezed. "Guess you weren't done," I spat as I pulled my other hand back and punched her straight in the face.
"Holy shit," Miranda squealed I let Julie go and she hit the ground covering her face, "You broke my nose," Julie groaned as she stared daggers at me, "Should of stayed in your lane Julie Dog," I spat I punched her face a few times, grabbed her by hair and dragging her around the table when she started swinging like crazy that made me lose my shit and just attacked her like a crazy dog. Punching, pulling and know cking the shit of her that I could barely register the banging on the door.
"Ree open the door," a familiar baritone voice sounded through the door, when I was out of breath that I stepped away from Julie who was crying hysterically on the floor. I pulled my hair out tidying up my appearance before nodding at Joseline who had unlocked the door and let someone in before slamming it shut and locking it again.
I was breathing like a bull when the person who had stepped into the room was staring at the girl crying on the floor, when I looked up and saw it was my brother in law Luke who had tears silently running down his face and holding his sides that snapped me out of my daze. "Definitely runs in your genes," he smirked before he stepped over to me and wrapped me in a hug.
"Luke it's not funny," I said as I slowly took in more air as my lungs felt like the weren't functioning properly, "It kind of is, both the ladies in my life are crazy. I married one and the other is a bonus," he teased when we heard a furious voice banging like crazy on the door, when Miranda got up to answer it this time and in stormed Jacob and Sarah.
"Just the boxes Robert," Luke spoke when I noticed he brought our family butler, who then stepped aside and let the other four people in to remove my boxed belongings. "Give her to me," Robert spoke politely to Luke while staring daggers at a stunned Jacob and Sarah who were staring wide eyed at Robert.
"I am fine rob, not a mark," I stated when his eyes stared back at me with a raised eye brow that I knew wasn't a request so I stepped away from Luke and towards Robert who pulled out his bag and started treating my wounded hands. "Miranda, Joseline meet my brother in law Lucas Grey who is married to my sister Allison and Robert a family member of mine," I spoke introducing them without taking note of the unwanted guest who were staring bug eyed at both men hovering around me.
"I noticed you only had six boxes what happened to the rest?," Robert asked as he stared at the stuff on the table, " I gifted it to my two roommates to use or sell as they pleased as I was leaving them without a third person to cover the rent," I stated when he stood opening his wallet and handing some money to the girls,"That is to pay off her part of the rent for the remaining month of school," he spoke politely before he nodded at me and left.
"Bec you gave me all of those items why did you give them away?," Sarah spoke as she surveyed the items on the table. "I didn't give you anything of the sort they belong to Miranda and Joseline since your thieving friend and you started rummaging through my belongings." Looking away from her as I stood to say goodbye to my roommates, when Jacob spoke up, "I know your angry at us but you didn't have to give your gifts to someone else out of spite," Jacob commented as he pick up Julie from the ground.
"They were never gifts, they were taken by your lover and gifted to her minion to hide your secret relationship," I stated when both their eyes widen and then both looked at Julie with shock clearly on their face. "We never had a secret relationship?," Jacob spoke as he looked confused back at Sarah when I smirked and said, " It doesn't matter now that's in the past. See you ladies and thank you for your friendship," I smiled as my brother lead me out if the house, down the stairs and heading straight for the door.
When I felt something on my wrist and turned to look down at the hand who had grabbed me. The anger that surged forward made my eyes turn to steel as I saw Sarahs pitiful face staring at me with tear running down her face, "Please Bec it was a mistake and it turned into something deeper," Sarah stated before I rudely interrupted her by snatching my wrist back, "No use crying now, the damage you caused is irreversible. I am not gonna accept your tears, or your words at all if ever but I will erase you from my life. Hope you have a great future," I stated before leaving her standing there sobbing as I climbed in the car and we left.
