Dangerously Yours Till Eternity

She squealed, “I knew it! He loves me!” She ended, curling tbe tip of her hair around her fingers. “… and I love him even more,” she added quickly.

“Elsa. You and Chris are in a relationship, right?”

“Of course,” she said in a ‘doh’ tone.

Ivy puffed out air from her mouth, nervous and not knowing how best to approach this. She wasn’t trying to take herself out of blame, she just wanted to say it in a way that explained everything in the most concise way she could.

This was already starting to get unbearably hurtful and she hadn’t even started yet.

She took Elsa’s hands in hers.

‘Well, here goes nothing.’

“He is not good for you. I’m not trying to break you up but I really love you and I need you to know. He is a playboy.”

She pulled her hand away from her almost immediately, “how are you supposed to know that?”

“You know that I will never intentionally try to hurt you, right?”

Elsa laughed, taking a step back, “What is going on?”

“I and Chris…”

Her face changed, what was left there now was a shadow of the smile that was there before, “No.”

“I can’t keep on lying to you, Elsa,” her voice was shaky, tears already in her eyes. “Something lead to another yesterday and we kissed.”

Wham!

A slap.

“You kissed my boyfriend?!”

“It was a m-mistake,” she stepped forward, wanting to close the ever growing space between them. It wasn’t only about that though, it was about the fact that with each step Elsa took away from her, it felt like their friendship was ripping apart.

“You slutty brat!”

“Elsa, please listen to me?” She couldn’t stop her tears now, they were pouring.

“How dare you?!”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“It was… a mis-mistake. I regret it, I–I do,” she choked out through tears.

“Jett told me you are leaving. Is that why you are running away, uhn?”

Elsa’s eyes were filled with unrestrained rage. Ivy had never seen her like this before. What broke her the most though was that look of hurt that shone in her eyes. She knew Elsa trusted that she would be the last person to ever hurt her in the world. They both trusted each other like that, and the fact that she had hurt her, whether it being in her control or not, intentionally or not, broke her more than anything.

“Because you did the deed with my boyfriend. So after having a one night stand with him, that wasn’t enough. You went ahead and kissed him behind my back!” She yelled, clapping her hands then throwing them dramatically in the air.

“I– wait, you knew? When? How?”

“I wasn’t that drunk,” she said in reference to the night Ivy had told her everything.

Ivy mouth fell open. She hadn’t expected that.

“I know everything, Ivy. You know, I really tried for us,” Elsa could no longer hide her tears now, they flowed down her cheeks.

By now, there was a crowd forming slowly around them.

“Just to make sure our friendship stays unaffected, I turned a blind eye to that fact. Believing that if there was a relationship, you wouldn’t dare. But what a fool I was. You managed to ruin everything!”

Ivy couldn’t reply, she was still trying to process how Elsa had hidden her knowledge about everything. If there had been so clues along the line that she had missed.

“You’ve always had everything you wanted. It had always been you, you, you, having everything, never me,” for everytime she referred to Ivy, she would point at her and whenever she was referring to herself, she would point at herself, all for emphasis.

“For the first time, I had something I wanted, someone I loved. You could have just left him for me and everything would have been fine. But nooooo,” she laughed hysterical, tears glimmering in her eyes.

Her next words were almost quiet and they pushed through her teeth, “You went ahead and seduced him, just because of some fleeting feelings you have for him. All because of some purely sexual nonsense. Like as if my love for him doesn’t matter.”

“Elsa, it is not like that,” Ivy looked around at the crowd, then back at Elsa with her blurry tears-filled eyes. She was shaking slightly on her feet, she was losing her she knew it but that wasn’t what she wanted. This wasn’t the way she wanted it all to go down. This was terrible but then she had been terrible too.

What a darling Karma was.

“Please let’s talk about this calm—”

But Elsa wasn’t having any of that.

“You know what? You are such an entitled bitch! To think I called you my best friends. Even friends don’t do this to each other.”

That hit, way too deeply, it silenced her.

“Ladies, what is going on?” Chris asked, pushing through the small crowd that had now formed around them. While Jett walked around, telling people not to record them and threatening them with a law suit. It could be because of their fear for him or the lawsuit, but somehow, they all started getting rid of the videos.

Elsa had hit a tough spot but she wasn’t done though. She was so angry, she didn’t even notice the crowd that had formed around them and if she had, by now she had completely forgotten about them.

“After everything I’ve done, the sacrifices I’ve made so that we would never clashed, the reality I tried to build! Even when I tried to make you believe that we were in a relationship, you still went after him.”

“Elsa…” She started, wanting to explain that she hadn’t gone after him.

Although she wasn’t trying to push the blame entirely away from herself, she didn’t want Elsa to get the situation mixed up. She wasn’t the only guilty one, they were both guilty and both of them were supposed to face the short end of the stick. Not just her.

“I didn’t go after–” she paused, her mind suddenly catching to something she had somehow missed. “Did you just say that you tried to make me believe that you were in a relationship?” She took a step forward, her sight now clear from tears.

“Elsa, you lied to me?”
