bitch…no wonder she picked up on Jules when she talked to her.
Cade looks at me, “Come on Gabby I need you to spot me for a few minutes.”
When Gabby and I walk back into our dorm she looks at me almost sad, “Linc, I’m sorry you saw how I acted in the weight room. I was just hoping that I would never have to lay eyes on a couple of those people again.”
I shrug, “ its okay.”
She flops down on the couch, “So what did Cade tell you? I could tell when I walked in from your facial expression. I’m good at reading people most of the time…so don’t feel bad I know Cade probably told you not to tell me.”
I chuckle and shake my head, “Just that your best friend and a guy you really liked screwed with your head and that you broke her nose. Cade almost beat the shit out of the guy and pretty much your whole school knew about whatever it was…that it was just a really shitty time for you…Also he asked me to keep an eye on you because if you ran into them you’d probably do some bone breaking again.”
She sighed , “Well do you want me to tell you the whole story?”
I nod, “Sure if you want to. Don’t think you have to.”
“No, I’ll tell you, you’ve been a good friend to me and I’m pretty sure I can trust you.”
I laugh, “Yes ma’am that you can.”
She took a deep breath, “Well I’d been crushing over a guy named Reece for most of my high school years. My friend Elle, was a big slut, most of my day was spent keeping angry girlfriends from kicking her ass. Short and sweet of it is, I got drunk at a party decided to cash in my v-card with Reece, he screwed me in a boat house since it was my first time I bled, it was fast and it was over. He kissed me on the cheek and told me to clean up and he’d see me back out at the party. The following Monday I felt people whispering all day, I found out that not only had he told the entire football team what happened, he’d been screwing around with Elle for three months and she thought she was pregnant…I lost my best friend and the guy I’d been crushing over all in one day. She showed up at my house after I wouldn’t text her back, when she told me she wasn’t pregnant and that Reece only screwed me because he thought I’d be easy and he said all the blood was fucking gross. I punched her in the nose and eye and told her that she was bleeding too now. But my face wouldn’t look like shit in the morning.” She shrugged, “Then I got early admission and Cade checked into to it too so I wouldn’t be by myself and we popped smoke. Now here we are and they are coming in this weekend.”
I shake my head, “That guy sounds like a douche bag. It pisses me off that he treated you that way.”
She wiped a little tear from the side of her face, “I know I must seem like a real loser…I only slept with one guy once in high school.”
I chuckle, “No if we are being honest, the only person I’ve slept with is Jules…Now it was more than once, but we dated for three years. Although I wasn’t her one even when we were dating.”
She laughs and I smile, “There we go there’s my girls laugh. But don’t worry we’ll keep you busy this weekend and get that hometown talking. Besides if you want to really fuck with her…you know Russ is just about as big of a hoe as she is.”
She’s really laughing now, “What have Russ get her all worked up and then say some mean shit to her and walk off and leave her with the girl equivalent of blue balls.”
I nod, “Yeah maybe, he’ll be pissed if he finds out what she did. He’ll seek revenge for you. He did the same thing to Jules for me right after we broke up. She’d been trying to hook up with him, while we were dating and it really pissed him off so he waited until we were broke up and then went in for the kill.”
She laughs, “Are we terrible or what?”
I look at her, “No they are.” I realize we have been talking on the couch
