“Can’t you guys just get a room?!” Melanie heard a voice as she inched closer to the door.
Her hand held the doorknob and twisted it slowly, the door opened and she moved out of her room a bit.
That instant, life momentarily left her soul at the scene in front of her.
Paisley and Ace were both kissing each other as though they would f-__-k right there.
Her legs wobbled and she staggered, resting her back on the wall, still staring at the duo who were oblivious of her presence.
Tears came falling like a river, her eyes widening the more as the scene felt unreal to her.
“Ace,” she whispered, tears falling more.
“Ace!!!” She yelled this time louder, gaining the attention of the others in the room. Axel was absent.
At once, Paisley and Ace stopped kissing each other.
Like a slow mo, they turned their heads and both their eyes widened like a watermelon, seeing Melanie before them.
“Melanie,” Ace stuttered, getting to his feet.
Paisley was not left out too, she was more than shocked to find her friend before her.
“What’s going on?” Aaron whispered to Aiden who only shrugged.
“Melanie, how did you get here? How…” Paisley stuttered, she was already sweating.
“How? How?” Melanie’s lips trembled as she spoke.
“Baby, I can explain. I was drunk and…” Ace tried saying but it was useless as she already witnessed the scene of them kissing.
Melanie’s legs shook as she walked closer to them, her eyes held nothing but sadness, disappointment, and hurt.
Her hands raised in the air and a deafening slap landed on Ace’s cheeks.
“You bastard! How could you? With my friend?” She screamed.
“What the hell?!” Aaron tried to stand up but Aiden held him.
He turned to Aiden who only signaled him not to talk.
“I’m sorry” Ace said, his eyes were very red by now.
“Sorry? Is that what you’re going to say when you’re f-__-king my best friend behind my back?! You had no one to do this with but with my friend? Are you that heartless?!” Melanie yelled.
“Was that the reason why you’ve been acting strange to me? You abandoned me yesterday in the rain and you didn’t even care a bit! Even though it was obvious that you don’t care about me anymore, I still assured myself that you were probably busy, that’s the reason for your actions. I never knew…” She shook her head in tears.
“Melanie, let me explain. It was…”
Melanie turned to Paisley in anger and landed a hot slap on her cheeks, making her go deaf immediately.
“You… You were nothing but an enemy to me. No girl would date her friend’s boyfriend behind her back! No one would ever do that to her best friend’s boyfriend!” Melanie yelled in tears.
“I thought you were my friend. I thought..” Melanie couldn’t finish her sentence when a sob left her lips.
“I was the fool here, I didn’t even know you both were doing shits behind my back. I…” Melanie stared at the both of them before storming out of the house in anger.
Ace quickly went after her.
Paisley fell on her knees, biting her lips hard.
“Wait… Ace has another girlfriend?” Aaron turned to Aiden.
“Seems she’s the side chick after all” Aiden said, referring to Paisley.
“And they’re friends?” Aaron turned to Paisley with wide eyes.

“Melanie!”
“Melanie!”
“Please stop and listen to me, baby!” Ace yelled as he went after Melanie.
Melanie stopped walking and turned to him, her eyes were swollen with tears.
Ace felt bad immediately he saw her tears and guilt ate him up instantly.
“I’m sorry. I was wrong and…”
“How long has this been going on?” Melanie asked slowly.
“Melanie…”
“f-__-king tell me!” Melanie yelled.
“Three months,” Ace mumbled, avoiding her eyes.
Melanie stared at him in utter disbelief.
“Three months?” She said,
“You were dating her when I gave you my virginity too?” She asked. She could feel her heart ripping out of her chest as she spoke.
Ace closed his eyes tightly.
“You… I…” Melanie ran out of the place immediately.
“f-__-k!!! Melanie!!!” Ace went after her but she has suddenly disappeared. There were no traces of her.
“f-__-k!” He pulled his head hard.
***
Melanie cried heavily as she walked on the road, it was late at night but she cared less. She was in pain, her heart was in pain that she felt she might pass out anytime from that moment.
The thought of her boyfriend and best friend dating behind her back shattered her a lot. To think she loved them both so much.
“Arghh!,” She bent on her knees and curled her body together, crying her eyes out.
Paisley had been her friend right from diapers. They grew up together and they both went to the same highschool, they were more like sisters.
Not in her wildest dream will she ever imagine Paisley betraying her by dating her boyfriend behind her back.
Her hand clutched her chest tightly as more tears kept rolling down her cheeks.
She should have known when he changed towards her, his actions, his words…. Everything tells it all, but she was too naive to notice.
She should have known when Paisley was always asking about Ace. She should have known the night she gave Ace her virginity, she should…
“I don’t want to believe this, I don’t,” she shook her head, still crying hard.
In as much as she doesn’t want to believe it, but it was the truth, the harsh truth.
***
Axel entered the house to meet everywhere silent as a graveyard. Ace and Paisley were absent already.
“Why’s everywhere so silent? Where’s Ace?” He asked.
“You have a roommate?” Aiden asked.
“Yea… It was not important so I didn’t bother to tell you” Axel shrugged and sat on a couch.
“How did you know?”
“Well, your roommate turns out to be Ace’s girlfriend,” Aaron said.
“What?” Axel turned to him.
“She came out and met Ace and Paisley kissing each other, can you even believe they were best friends?” Aaron said.
“I really can’t believe that girl right now” he shook his head.
“Where’s Ace now?” Axel asked.
“He already left with his supposed girlfriend,” Aiden answered.
“Did you sort it out already?” Aaron asked, changing the topic.
“Yea, I chased her away” Axel muttered, pouring some alcohol into a glass cup.

Melanie entered the house slowly, it was past 12am.
She walked to her room and shut the door gently, she went to her bed and laid on it, staring into space.
A tear slipped out of the corner of her eyes and she didn’t bother to wipe it off.
Her phone rang, she didn’t care to glance at it. She just wasn’t herself at that moment.
Her phone kept ringing and she had no choice but to pick it since it was her Mom calling.
“Melanie, are you okay? I’ve been calling your number without you picking up” Mrs. Brown rushed.
“Mom,” Melanie whispered as tears trickled down her cheeks.
“What’s wrong? Were you sleeping? I’m sorry if I…”
“It hurts,” Melanie sobbed.
“Are you crying? Baby, talk to me!”
“My heart…” Melanie cried loudly as her phone fell from her hand to the bed.
Her hand went to her chest, hitting it at intervals as she cried her heart out.
“Melanie? Baby? Talk to your Mom, please!” Mrs. Brown’s voice kept yelling on the other side.
Her voice sounded distant in Melanie’s ears as she was lost in her own world, her world of pain.
Melanie cried throughout that night without sleeping a wink.
