Page 81 of Truth Or Dare
Luke grabs my arm, forcing me to face him, a scowl etched on his face. “You’re here with me,” he reminds me.
I narrow my eyes. “I know that. But he’s still my best friend.”
Luke laughs, his tongue poking the inside of his cheek. “Is that all?”
“What?”
We stop dancing and he pulls back, shrugging. “You’re acting like you’re more interested in hanging out with some random guy than being here with me. I’m your boyfriend, Gabi.”
For all of two weeks. Chris has been my best friend for six years.
Luke isn’t wrong, though. I am distracted. Being here with Chris would have been so much better.
But… he didn’t ask me.
So, I said yes to Luke.
I don’t know why I did. I was sad, and lonely and just wanted to feel wanted. And Chris didn’t want me.
“I’m going to go find Chris,” I tell him firmly.
Luke scoffs. “Of course you are.”
“Stop being an asshole.”
“Stop acting like a slut.”
My eyes widen, and heads turn as Luke’s words draw attention. “Excuse me?”
“I’ve heard rumors about you, you know?” He shakes his head, licking his lips.
“Rumors?” I repeat, my heart banging against my chest at the accusation. “Like what?”
He scoffs. “Like the fact that you jump from one guy’s bed to another. Only once. After that…” He trails off, shaking his head. “You become a fucking nun.”
I can’t find any words. My throat tightens as I swallow, my heart racing.
“Is it him?” Luke demands, narrowing his eyes at me. “You use guys to make him jealous, don’t you?”
“You’re crazy,” I say, rolling my eyes, itching to get out of there.
“Yeah,” he laughs sarcastically, giving me a disgusted look. “Crazy for getting mixed up with you when I knew exactly who you were.”
My heart pounds as I move closer, poking his chest with my finger. “You don’t know a thing about me.”
No one does.
The only person who really knows me is...
“I bet Chris does,” he sneers, each word hitting a nerve. “I bet he knows all about you.” His eyes roam over me, and he shakes his head. “I was waiting for tonight so you’d finally get on your knees for me, but it looks like that’s not happening. So I guess we might as well call it quits.”
My blood goes cold, and I take a step back. “So you’re breaking up with me?” I ask, desperate for this to be over. I should havenever said yes to him. I should have just stayed home. Anything would have been better than this.
He shrugs. “I can find another girl to fuck who isn’t as much of a mess as you are.”
I lift my head, take a deep breath, and turn towards the exit. Pushing open the doors, the cold air hits my skin, sending goosebumps across my arms. I wrap my arms around myself, standing alone in the dark parking lot.
Where do I even go?
