Cutting thread of her Friendship

Two weeks had been past and no Jake was on my side anymore. Our eyes met several times but, I avoided it first, took steps and started to run away. I hate seeing him. He stopped me sometimes and begged for me to come back to him. I’m not dumb that I will accept him again to my life after seeing him kneeled in front of me begging.

I was on my way to the dancing room to have a practice. I entered the room and saw few of my friends waiting for me, Ethel, Kate, and of course, Candice.

“Aubrey, you skip the practice for three days! What happened?” Ethel asked.

“Something went up”

“Since you’re here, I’ll teach you some moves” I slightly smiled and shook my head.

“What’s wrong, Aubrey? You look pale” Candice asked in worried tone.

“I-it’s nothing. I’m here to quit dancing” My sudden news made them startled. I was about to tell them the reason behind it, but I began to feel dizzy. I feel like I’m having to take a puke that instantly dashed to the ladies’ comfort room and vomit. I hate the bitterness I tasted that I quickly wiped it with my hand.

My three friends came behind me and comforted me.

“I keep doing this for the past few days…” Kate suddenly gave a reaction and covered her open-mouth.

“Don’t tell me…”

“Yes, I took a PT test and it went positive and yes, I’m pregnant” I monotonous replied.

“No way! H-how?”

“Jake did it”

“WHAT?!” Kate and Ethel widened their eyes and even exchanged glances with each other. Candice was complete opposite to their reaction. She adverted her eyes, looking at the floor while biting her lower lip.

“Your parents will be mad! Tell Jake about this and you two will formally talk to your family.”

“We broke up”

“THE HELL, AUBREY?! You shouldn’t broke up with him! How can you explain to you parents especially your dad is like a gun shooter if you did something wrong?”

“I don’t need Jake anymore. I hate him and mind to explain the reason behind why we broke up, Candice? I bet you knew about this for the whole time.”

As I said those words, I gave a look to her. Candice stared at me with her tears almost fell down. She quickly held my hands tight and said words with difficult breathing.

“I-I’m sorry… I-I’m sorry, A-a-aubrey… I-I didn’t m-mean to intervene your r-relationship w-with Jake” Candice hugged me, burying her face on my shoulder. She kept apologizing to me between her sobs. My tears rolled on my cheeks as I let her go.

I don’t need her hug. I don’t need her comfort. Sorry is not enough for this unforgettable memory.

“You’re my friend and I love you but, stealing my ex-boyfriend is not okay to me. Candice, I know you like Jake for a long time but I hate the fact that you’re becoming desperate over someone. Are you happy? Are you happy now that Jake likes you? I just heard a rumor coming from other students that he’s hitting on you, is that true?”

“…”

“I don’t expect your reasons, Candice and it will not change my mind if you keep apologizing to me. You hurt me. I’m so different to other people that I couldn’t even slap my friend for doing a sinful thing. I am really too good to you but please, as a friendly reminder, don’t do this again or someone will make you shame and stomp you. I care for you, Candice but as for now, I must leave. I don’t want to talk to you.”

“Aubrey, I’m sorry!”

“Candice, you’re free to go to Jake”
