I step sideways, ready to walk around the girls and order another Uber, but they move into my path, pushing me back
I stumble but find my ground before I can fall over.
Fear pinches me, begging me to run, hide, get away before they tear up my clothes and scratch me again.
But fuck that.
Fuck them!
I’m not going to let these stupid, petty, immature girls keep robbing me of my dignity!
Standing as tall as I can, I pull my coat straight and glare at them. “I never should have let you hurt me for so long.” My voice is hard. Steely. I’ve never heard it like this before… and neither have they.
Viper Girl’s forehead wrinkles, while Kelsey glances at Jade for guidance.
Their leader is glaring daggers at me, but this time I face them head-on.
“Say whatever you want to me… it’s vapor now.”
She scoffs.
And I smile, pointing between them. “We’re done here.”
I’ve never spoken with such firm authority in my life, and I fucking love it!
Pride bursts through me as I pull my shoulders back and move around them.
This time, no one tries to grab for my coat, although Jade does throw one more proverbial knife my way.
“You’ll always be a fat harpy, and you’ll never deserve him!”
Spinning back around, I thunder toward her, getting right up in her face and hissing, “Enough! This is over.”
She goes to touch me, but I shove her back before she can.
With a yelp, she stumbles against Kelsey, who only just catches her. They wobble on their feet, trying not to fall over, and I glare at all three of them, giving them one last warning.
“It’s over!” I shout before spinning around and going back to the curb.
“Psycho bitch.” I don’t know which girl says it, but for some reason, it makes me laugh as I stalk away, pulling out my phone and ordering an Uber as I go.
I need to get back to Wily. It’s all I can think about as I walk down the street with my head held high.
I’m not running.
I’m not hiding.
I’m heading to see my boyfriend, and whatever awaits me, I’m gonna somehow handle it.
Because I just put my lifelong tormentor in her place… and I’m still standing.
Fuck yeah!
I am still standing!
