“I just want to be left alone, please leave.” She finally said while wiping her tears.
“Ella, please. Can we talk about this some more?”
“Leave me alone, please, Mason.”
I sighed and took a step toward her. “Only if you promise me first you won’t try any other tricks. I am afraid I am growing old and can’t keep up with your new bloody athleticism.”
“I am not making any promises.”
“All right then.” I leaned down to hug her as she sat on the bed. Holding her body firmly, I muttered, “We must speak this way.”
“Fine.”
“I didn’t hear you.”
“Don’t push your luck, Mason.”
“Say, ‘I promise, brother’.”
“Mason.” She began, gritting her teeth.
“All right,” I sighed, leaving her, “You are free.”
I rested my hands on the bed and sighed.
She turned and folded her hands. “What do you want?”
“Reconciliation,” I muttered.
Ella chuckled and turned away, “Now you want reconciliation, huh? Because you slept with my best friend, who is now pregnant?”
“Lucy is still your best friend, and I am still your brother.”
“I forgot to add, a backstabber, betrayer, hypocrite, and conniving.”
“She is none of them either.”
“Now you support her. God, you guys unraveled so fast that my head is spinning. Now that I think about it, you guys never really even hated each other, and all those brief facades were to deceive me.”
“You know, I am telling you the truth. It just happened, and now she is pregnant. It would help if you weren’t mad at me, or at her, for that matter. We didn’t set out to hurt anyone, it was not our intention.”
“Am I wrong? Oh, do tell me, please? The fact that you guys would argue at every given chance you got around me, or the fact you didn’t sleep with her while you made me believe you guys weren’t even friends.”
“At the beginning, we really didn’t know each other.”
She folded her arms, “And then?”
“It was on the night of the party.”
“Wait, wait, wait a minute,” she paused momentarily and turned. “So that was why you disappeared during the party, and so did Lucy,” She began to laugh hysterically, “And when I came into her room, I found her lying on the bed as if nothing had happened.”
“Well, something happened. She left my room and went to hers.”
“So, she won’t be seen leaving your room in the morning, a wise thought, I must say.”
“You are just jumping to conclusions, and that won’t solve our problem.”
“What conclusions and what problems?”
