Pulling up at Brady’s house with Sherri in the passenger seat I’m actually looking forward to this get together. It feels like old times when we would all meet up, play games and watch movies. Getting out the car and walking up the drive I see a car I don’t recognise; an ugly pink VW Beetle sits in the drive “Whose car is that?” I ask Sherri “Err I didn’t think they would be here…. I’m really sorry Becks” she says hurriedly running up the path to the house. Who is here? And why is she sorry?.
When I get to the garage I realise why. Tiffany Williams and Stacy Brown are standing by the drinks table.
What the actual fuck…
Brady and Gavin are getting chewed out by a furious looking Sherri in the corner, I want to feel sorry for them, but they kind of deserve it. I can’t believe they are here, after watching Reid feel up Stacy just hours after he dumped me I never wanted to see her again. With Tiff being the Queen B, it doesn’t shock me that they are friends “Ew, what is that doing here” Stacy asks the room while looking at me “Who invited the nerd?” Tiff adds, I stand there trying and failing to keep the tears at bay. Why do these guys hate me so much, the only thing I ever did was fall in love with Reid and because they wanted him, that somehow made me target number one.
Walking over to Sherri, she is still whisper shouting at the boys “How could you have them here after what Stacy did to Becks? How stupid are you Brady! Just because you wanna get your dick wet, why should we suffer!” she yells in his face “They just turned up Shez! I didn’t invite them” He tells her, trying and failing to stop her yelling at him “Guys I might just go” I announce to them, I do not want to be here and it’s not fair to make Brady kick people out of his place “No Becks, don’t leave because of them! They should leave” she pleads not caring who hears her now, she even points at them which makes them sneer. They won’t mess with Shez though, Oh no, my girl would beat their asses and they know it.
Just then Reid walks into the garage and surveys what’s happening. Sherri, seeing him storms over, Oh god, there is a 50% chance she will cock punch him “Get them out! They are being horrible to Becks and they need to leave” Now!” she yells at him. To give him credit, he doesn’t even move back a step when she gets in his face, he just looks towards Tiff, she gives him a smile while shaking her phone at him.
What the hell does that mean?
Is there some secret bitch language that I don’t know about?
Reid seeing this closes his eyes, clenching his fists as he takes in a deep breath “I think if Becca doesn’t like it then she should leave” he says taking my breath away. Stumbling back, I watch as he walks over to Tiff and wraps his arm around her waist kissing her neck. I feel like vomiting, how could he be so nice to me for weeks, treat me like things were changing between us again, just to do this to me for a second time.
I should have known it was all a joke, turning around and rushing out of the room, I make a dash for my car while choking on my sobs. I hear Brady and Sherri yelling for me not to drive while I’m upset, but I can’t hear them with the blood rushing to my ears. How could he embarrass me like that in front of everyone again, what have I ever done to him but love him, why is my life like this. I get in my car and crank the engine, not knowing where to go I just drive, I drive until my tears dry up and I feel numb. Seeing the dance studio, I pull into the car park, I need to get rid of some stress before I crack. Taking a breath, I get out my car and make my way in ready to lose some of this anxiety that’s running through me. Nancy the lady who owns the building took one look at me, gave me a job and key and told me if I ever have to let off steam, to let myself in, how right she was.
Walking out from the changing room in my leggings and sports bra, I go to the centre of the room. Mirrors encase three of the walls so dancers can see how a move looks from all angles. Limbering up my muscles I crank my neck from side to side, trying to relieve the tension I feel. I get the remote from my pocket and turn up the stereo until its almost deafening. Little Mix’s Sweet Melody blares from the speakers as I let myself go to the music, feeling the beat pass through me as I move my body to it. I dance until my legs feel like they can’t carry me anymore, and I can think with a clear mind. When the song ends I’m sweating and heavy breathing, but I feel so much lighter. Why am I letting Reid and those sluts run me out of places I want to be, why am I letting it get to me. I need to forget about him and them and move on with my life, it will take time but I make a plan to build myself, and to stop letting them tear me down.
