“You have five minutes.”
I step aside, letting her in.
“This is a really nice?—”
“How did you even get into the building?”
She turns, lifting a shoulder. “Flirted with the doorman. I told him I was here for Alistair.” She grins. “He didn’t even warn me that the gentleman of the house already had company…”
My face stays stony. Her smile drops.
“That was a joke.”
“I’m not in the mood, Camille.”
She nods, chewing on her lip. “Look, I just…”
“Why?” I glare at her. “I mean what the fuck, Camille?!”
“I was worried about you!”
“So you fucked three guys in my dorm room so Alistair would think you were me?”
She winces. “I know…it sounds crazy?—”
“Because it is!” I yell, making her flinch. “Camille, I don’t think you even realize what a horrible a thing you did. I mean, lying to me about sleeping with him is shitty enough, but?—”
“I already apologized?—”
“SHUT. UP.”
Her mouth snaps shut, her eyes darting over my livid face.
“But what you pulled…” I squeeze my eyes shut, shaking my head. “I was sitting there in that hospital bed on the worst day of my life, and you looked me in the eye and lied to me!”
“I didn’t?—”
“You did!” I roar. “You fucking knew why Alistair was blocking me and ignoring my calls. You were part of it!”
“Ellie, I know you don’t want to hear this?—”
“Correct!”
“You weren’t ready for a relationship?—”
“That’s for me to decide!”
She stammers. “He… He was bad for you!”
“No, he wasn’t!”
“He—”
“Camille, I can’t do this right?—”
“He would have taken you away from me!!”
It’s like a record scratch, and the music dies instantly. The loft goes silent as I stare open-mouthed at my sister.
