Walking over to Emily's house was probably the worst thing I've ever had to do in my entire life. How the hell was I supposed to do tell my best friend that her boyfriend, who was one of my closest friends, was with another girl last night. I am never going to a party ever again, it's a place of misery and heartbreak.
Taking a deep breath, I knock on Emily's front door playing with my fingers nervously as my heart starts to race. This was madness? Was it even my place to interfere, who am I kidding it's a best friend's duty. The door swings open revealing a close to death looking Emily, her eyes stay glued to my own before they fill with unshed tears. I quickly pull her into a hug as she starts sobbing clenching onto me desperately, I rub her back soothingly as she wets my shirt with her tears. After a while I decide it's better if I take her inside, closing and locking the door behind us, I walk to her room while holding her in a tight embrace. Once in her room she rushes to her bed, burying her face in one of her pillows.

"Emily..." What could I really say? I'm sorry your boyfriend cheated on you, that'd just make things worse.

"I can't believe I ever trusted that bastard!" She screams lifting her face from the pillow.

"You can't blame yourself." She didn't listen as she continued to cry while, I tried to talk to her about how she was feeling or what might've caused it but she wasn't having it.

Eventually she fell asleep in my arms after hours of crying and ranting about all the ways she was going to kill him. After tucking her into bed, I head to the kitchen to make some food for her. Knowing Em she's been too busy plotting to eat anything, when I'm done I return to find her already awake staring blankly at her phone. I walk over, resting the food down first before heading over to see what she was looking at so intently. When my eyes focus on the picture that started this all I snatched the phone away from her, she doesn't even try to get it back, she just continues to stare at the place it was a moment ago.

"That's Bridget. One of the cheerleading, she's loved David forever and everyone knows it. He went for her because he knew no one else would do it knowing we were a couple." She says before looking at me, I frown not really following. "I've been convincing myself since I saw the picture that he was drunk and didn't know, so after some beatings and the silent treatment we'd be fine or something. But he wasn't drunk, he went for the one person who he could cheat on me with. It's wasn't an accident, he did it on purpose." Her words make my jaw hang low as she rolls under her sheets hiding herself from the world that has been cruel to her since the day she was born.

"God Em, I'm so sorry." I say my voice leaking with pity that I knew she'd hate.

"Can you just leave please?" She says not bothering to look my way. "I need to be alone or I'll end up hitting you. I'll eat the food, thanks. Just leave though."

"I understand, call if you need me. I'll check back in an hour." I say before kissing her head lightly before leave her room and then her house.

"What are we going to do?" Nate asks as he picks me up to take me back to Emily's house. He had insisted on coming, he'd been arguing that David didn't know what he was doing, that he'd never cheat on Emily. I didn't want to get on a fight so I left him with his stupid beliefs and sticked with my own.

"I don't know. It's a mess." I say rubbing my tired eyes. I still had a slight hangover and I needed to sleep but I had to take care of my best friend so drowsiness would have to take a step back.

"She's going to kill him." Nate says tapping the steering wheel anxiously. "No that's too easy, she's going to castrate him and then me."

"Why you?" I ask in confusion.

"I'm guilty by association." He says nervously. "I'm serious Andy, we're losing a friend today and potential children."

"Right now isn't the time to be making jokes." I say with a yawn.

"I know, I'm sorry. You're just really tense and even though it's Emily's time, which I get, you're still my responsibility and I can tell you're tired. You're going straight to bed after this, you hear me?"  He says glancing away from the road for a split second to look back at me with a raised brow.

"No promises." I say making him sigh, it didn't matter what I needed. The only person who mattered and deserved attention right now was Emily.

"I-is that...is that Emily and David?" Nate asks with a shaky voice. I basically jump out my seat as I look out the window to see Emily beating the shit out of David in front her house.

"Stop the car!" I shout, Nate does as I say allowing me to immediately get out the car, I run to them as fast as my legs would take me.

"You. Son. Of. A. Bitch!" Emily screams while tears run from her eyes like a broken tap, her fist connecting with David's jaw each time.

"Em. You have to stop or you'll kill him." I say watching the blood pouring out of David's mouth as he payed here defenseless against Emily's attacks.

"He deserves to die!" She shouts at me with eyes filled with rage that made me gulp in fear. I feel a hand on my shoulder, looking up I see Nate who searches my body to make sure I'm okay before heading over to the two bodies. Lifting Emily off of David, Nate holds her arms back so she can't punch him and she screams in protest to get back to David. Looking over I see him slowly push himself up as his face contorts into pain, he was bruised all over and I knew he'd have a really shitty time for the next few weeks.

"Emily I'm sorry." He says immediately the remorse evident in his voice but it was useless against the tall, sky high walls Emily put up as she glared at the boy with immense hatred.  "Sweeth-"

"Don't you fucking dare!" She screams clenching her teeth tightly. "Don't you dare call me that! Never again!"

"Emily please just listen to me." He begs stepping forward but I quickly stop him placing a hand on his chest. 

"Did you know what you were doing?" Emily growls as her eyes stay glued to David's weakened body.

"Let's just talk ab-"

"Did you know!" She barks viciously. 

"Emily, I don't want us to fight over something like this." He says pathetically.

"She asked you a question, did you or did you not know David?" Nate asks loosening his grip on Emily as he stared at his friend with clearly confused eyes.

"Yes, but I did-" He doesn't get to finish as Nate punches him straight in his gut sending him to the ground, coughing up blood as he clenches his stomach in pain.

"I stood up for you! I said they're was no way, that you'd never do it without a good reason. But you knew?! You did this to her knowing?!" Nate growls his eyes growing dark as he glared at his severally bruised friend.

"Nathaniel.." David starts but tarts coughing up blood instead.

"Don't." Nate says walking back his eyes not leaving David.

"What did I do wrong?" My eyes snap up towards Emily as she stands behind us looking at David with tears streaming down her face. A look that seemed to be perfect now. "I did everything right, I thought you were nervous so I told you first!"

What?

"You know how hard it is for me to open up to someone, to trust them! You knew and still.... It was hard for me too, you think it was easy for me to tell you that I loved you! You ran when it got hard and I'll never forgive you for that! Y-you....I .." She doesn't even finish her sentence as she starts sobbing as she runs inside. Nate goes after her not give David a second look before disappearing inside.

"David why?" I ask helping him stand up.

"I don't know." He says hanging his head in obvious shame before turning around and walking away. I sigh as I watch his disappearing figure, I turn to head inside to go help Em. I find her in her bed crying into Nate's chest as he hugged her tightly, the pain consuming his face as well.

"He's gone." I say entering as her eyes glance up to me.

"It's funny isn't it, I open myself up to someone for the first time and this is what I get!" She spits rubbing her face so roughly that I thought she'd open it up. Quickly walking over to her, I stop her movements as she stares at me with pain filled eyes. "I told him I loved him. It was perfect, we were in his room like we were the last time. He was saying all the right things and he's done everything so perfectly so far, I knew how I felt for quiet some time but I was too scared to say anything. Even to you. But I thought.....I thought he loved me too. So I said it, but he left. He was gone the whole night and I thought I scared him off. Turns out I scared him straight into another girl's arms." She says before breaking down once again. My heart ached for Em, she had learnt so much after so long and this was how she got replayed for it.

"I'm sorry." Nate says still holding her tightly.

"I know what I did wrong. I fell in love with a player."

--------
I know you hate me so sorry. Not really.

If you saw ducking that autocorrect, it's meant to be fucking.
Okay, hope you didn't enjoy. It'd be messed up if you did, this is sad.

I'm really tired so until next time,
