“There’s nothing to bury for you! Jesus, how many times do we have to rehash this? You’re not the victim here. Is your ego that big that you can’t—”
“Oh, enough of this innocent-act bullshit.”
My mouth parts in shock. “Excuse me? How is it bullshit? I’m not the one who ruined us—”
“And neither am I! If you’d let me explain, you’d know I was innocent. Bet you can’t say the same for yourself—”
“Listen here, you jerk.”
“Just admit it.”
“Admit what? That I was all wrong about you?”
“That you’re not innocent either!”
“You are seriously crazy.”
“Admit it! You fucked Russ behind my back.”
I take a sharp breath. “Are youseriousright now?”
“Yeah, that’s right. I know all about you two.”
“And what do you think you know? That he was your best friend and the only one who cared enough to tell me the truth?”
“If that was the case, he would have told you I didn’t do shit.”
“He told me you’d been cheating on me with that girl for months. Months!”
“And you expect me to believe that? You obviously knew Russ had a thing for you. Was that your plan all along? To play us both? Convince him that I was a—”
“Acheater? No, he didn’t have to convince me because I saw it with my own eyes. He just did me a favor by showing me more proof that our entire relationship was a lie.”
“Bullshit.”
“I saw pictures! He showed me.”
“This story just keeps getting better and better. So, what, he convinces you that I’ve been cheating on you with some bogus pictures, and to get back at me, you fuck him?”
“Nice try. You’re not turning this around on me.”
“Why, ’cause you don’t wanna admit it? The bigger question is, how long were you two fucking around behindmyback?”
“You are absolutely insane.”
“Answer the question, Cal.”
“I’ve never touched Russ. He was my friend.”
“Don’t tire yourself out with this sweet girl act, babe. I’m not believing it.”
“I don’t give a shit what you believe.”
He slams his palms against the counter, causing me to jerk. “I fucking saw you. I saw you two together. You were wrapped in his arms, lip-locked. My ass you were just friends.”
He’s lying. Creating lies to confuse me. I never kissed. . . My brain dredges up a memory from a night a long time ago. The last time I saw Russ. “No, it wasn’t what it looked—”
“Finally, the truth.”
