“I don’t know what to tell you, Molloy.”
“The truth,” I snapped. “But apparently, you can’t do that, so you might as well not talk to me at all.”
“I didn’t send any damn messages behind your back,” Joey hissed, eyes flaring with heat as his temper rose “So, pull your head out of your ass and place your anger at the right person’s door. Don’t take your shit out on me, Molloy. I warned you about him. I told you what kind of an asshole he was, but you took him back repeatedly, so don’t fucking start with me.”
Yeah, he did tell me, but that didn’t make this easier.
Pulling my phone out of my skirt pocket, I quickly tapped out a text and glared across the room until the asshole recipient answered me.
Aoife: Danielle?
Paul: Danielle what?
Aoife: You were texting her.
Paul: No, I wasn’t.
Aoife: Don’t deny it. I’ve heard it all before.
Paul: Aoife, I swear to God I haven’t laid a finger on Danielle. X
Aoife: I didn’t say you touched her, asshole. I said you texted her.
Paul glancedacross the classroom at me and shook his head.
I narrowed my eyes in warning as if to saydon’t you dare lie to me this time.
Paul: Listen, nothing happened with her. Those texts were a joke. I sent them ages ago. They meant nothing, babe. I can explain everything. I swear xxx
Glowering, I shook my head and shoved my phone back into my pocket, ignoring when it vibrated to alert me that I had received another text.
“Are you okay?” Joey whispered from beside me.
“No,” I snapped, feeling hurt, betrayed, and a million other emotions. “My boyfriend is a lying whore and my best friend’s an even bigger one!”
“You shouldn’t call Casey a whore, Molloy.”
“I was referring to you, asshole.”
“I didn’t lie to you.”
“You didn’t tell me the truth, either.”
“It wasn’t my —“
“If you tell me that it wasn’t your business one more time, I swear to God I will scream,” I choked out, feeling my eyes water.
“Don’t you dare,” Joey warned, releasing a frustrated growl. “Don’t you even think about playing the girl card and spilling tears on me.”
“Don’t worry, asshole, any tears I spill won’t go to waste,” I snapped, sniffling when I reached up to bat a traitorous tear away. “I’m planning to save them up to drown you with.”
“You asked me to tell you the truth and I did,” he whisper-hissed. “And now you’re mad at me for doing what you wanted me to do in the first place.”
“Because what you should have done in the first place was tell me when it happened,” I choked out, digging him in the side with my elbow. “Not leave me in the dark, looking like a fucking idiot.”
“You don’t need me to help you with that,” he spat. “You get plenty of practice every time you go running back to that asshole boyfriend of yours.”
“Oh, go choke on a clit.”
