Chapter 32

My neighbors had a party this weekend and all of us were invited. How opportunistic. 

I had to execute my plan and two days earlier I actually found Dustin was cheating on Abby. I saw him groping a girl's ass in the college parking lot. 

The house was packed as usual and I made a point to never let Abby go. She even kissed Dustin while I had my hands linked with hers. She didn't argue but was gloomy about my clingy nature. 

We moved together as a group to the kitchen and boys grabbed the beer. I decided to be sober for my plan. 

I could spot Connor in the corner of the room with a glass in hands and scanned the room. His eyes locked with mine and I turned away from his. No distraction today. 

I left Abby to drink with the boys and scrolled through the corridors where Dustin room was present. I pushed the door slightly open peeking into the room when a hand landed on my shoulder. 

My heart rate peaked and stopped at the same time. My forehead was covered in a flimsy layer of sweat. I turned to see Connor standing behind me. 

I pushed his hands off my shoulder and stood straight. 

"What are you doing here?", he sounded concerned and confused. "Restroom", I said in monotone despite my nervousness. He held my hand and pushed the next door open. 

"There's one there", he said pointing to the corner door in the room. Without a word, I ran to the toilet and looked myself in the mirror. I was flushed. If people knew me better they would definitely know I was nervous as hell. 

After splashing cold water I took deep breathes to calm myself. I kept repeating to not to freak out and I was a girl on mission.

Connor was sat on his bed. Unlike any of our rooms, Connor's room was full brown giving a royal look. The bed, bookshelf, closet. Connor interrupted my exploration getting infront of me. 

His brown eyes were focused on me. The same eyes that would make my heart skip a beat, that  stabbed every time I looked. "Emily", he whispered reaching for my hands. I swatted his hands and tied them infront of my chest.

He stepped a little closer and I stepped backward. He reached out to me again. "Emily, please", he said in desperation. 

"I have to go", I said and walked towards the door when his hands pulled me into a hug. 

I struggled out of his embrace and did it twice since I've seen him. Slapped across his face. My nose was throwing flames in anger. 

"What did I do?", he asked, his hands on his cheeks. 

I snorted at the ridiculous question. "You broke my trust" and my heart. I walked out of the room without another word and joined my friends in the kitchen.

Abby was tipsy, not drunk. Luke was drunk and Matt had enough to carry him. At the corner of my eyes I saw Dustin going into the room followed by the girl from the parking lot. Bingo.

I dragged whining Abby along with me towards his room. It took extra time to avoid the flirty boys on the way. 

I pushed open the door and there was Dustin, his mouth on the girl's neck. As soon as he saw us, he pushed the girl aside and rushed towards Abby. He picked up Abby who was wide eyed from the shock. 

Abby reeled back when he tried to kiss her. She pushed off of him and ran outside the door. "Abby", Dustin followed her outside the room. I stopped him with a smirk on my face, "Leave her alone, you asshole", I spat and followed Abby home.

She was a crying mess. Of course it broke her heart seeing him making out with another girl and I was pretty sure he was continuing his play with another girl. 

I pulled her into a hug and made her wet my shirt. "Dustin", her voice choked into the sobs. I held her tight, rubbing her tummy and hair. "It's okay. I am here for you", I said.

She looked at me among the tears. "How could he do that to me?. Am I not enough?", she questioned. 

I held her shoulder and brought her face to look at me. "Abby, I love you. Do not go in that path. You know your worth. You saved me from that place. Please don't go in that path. You have more people than Dustin to love you and give you anything you want. Think about them, okay", I said slowly trying to control my guilty tears. 

She smiled a little and hugged me. "You repeated the same thing I said to you", she said. 

"Learnt from the best", I smiled and kissed her forehead. After a few more episodes of sobbing, Abby made a decision to not pursue Dustin anymore and cared more on self love. I was thankful for her strong mentality. If she was half insecure as me, it would take months to move on. 

She brought in the manicure and the pedicure kits to the living room. Matt, drunk Luke and I were sat on the couch with face mask and legs in the dub. 

She rubbed our legs taking care of our toe nails. It was her cope up mechanism and boys knew something was wrong. Actually Matt knew and Luke wanted to enjoy the master treatment he received.

Abby declined my offer of helping her. When she completed with our toe nails, I helped with the tubs and set the table for hand nails.

Luke was wiggling his toes admiring himself. "Oh, Abby. I loveee youu girl", he slurred in a girly tone. Definitely worth of a video. We both pulled our phones and provoked Luke to act more. He started to hump the couch shouting 'Daddy' at one point. I peed my pants laughing.

Matt excused himself wanting to prepare late night snacks. Luke and I sat for the pedicure session. Drunk Luke was a girl, which I already know but never deemed this cheery.

He was hyping Abby now and then begging her to color his nails and do some art. He was going to regret very badly. 

Abby and I settled in the bed and Luke joined the girl's night. Abby pushed him to the floor saying new girls were supposed to be on the floor. He whined but soon passed out.

"I love you guys so much", she said facing the wall. 

"We love you", I said small. 

Luke jumped on the bed, "I love you girls. We girls rock forever", he shouted and I passed out laughing.
