16. Betty
Ashley's POV
Michelle travelled to her family house during the weekend and my friends aren't available either and my brother isn't available either these days, seems like everyone just abandoned me this weekend so I decided to step out on my own and get ice cream.
As I reached the ice cream shop I saw a familiar figure but I ignored her cause I really don't want to have any conversation with that scum bag yea that scum bag is Betty, y'all remember the friend I told y'all about that I normally shared intimate moments with? Yea that girl is Betty.
As I tried my best to avoid her I guess I was just unfortunate that day cause all my efforts to avoid her proved void as she found her way to me smiling from ear to ear like we are on good terms tsk what a two faced bitch "heyy cutie long time" she greeted, if we were alone I would have ignored her but people were their and I didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to myself and I know very well that Betty was good at being dramatic so I returned her greeting with a forced smile, I hope she could see the irritation in my eyes and let me be but as expected she still stood their trying to steer up a conversation.
Y'all must be wondering why I seem to detest Betty well I will let y'all know, Betty and I used to be sex mates but no doubts we liked each other which I felt like what we felt for each other was equal, tbh I always wanted a serious relationship with Betty cause she was really cute and she had literally everything I wanted in a partner at that time but Betty never brought up a topic about us getting into something serious so I didn't bother mentioning it to her cause I was scared of losing her and I was quite okay with what we shared cause at least she wasn't sharing intimate moments with any other person except me or that's what I thought, after a month of being together Betty started acting all distant and I felt like it was probably school stress but I was wrong Betty was seeing someone else and y'all must be wondering why I will detest her this much cause of her seeing someone else cause we aren't even dating, well yea I'm not really angry cause she was seeing someone else I'm rather angry that she was seeing my friend Ally which I introduced to her and the worst part is that the were both doing it at my back and Ally knew very well how and what I felt for Betty, I'm angry at both but more at Betty cause she promised not to mingle with someone else without my permission but she did, she didn't just break my trust but she broke my heart and when I tried confronting her instead of her to apologize she claimed that she had the right to mingle with whoever she wanted without even showing a bit of remorse, I was broken into tiny pieces till I met Michelle and she sealed back the broken pieces , if not for her coming into my life at that time when I needed emotional comfort the most I wonder how my life would have been right now, some times I wonder if I'm really in love with Michelle or if I'm just with her cause she and Betty kinda look alike although she looks better than Betty which my friends have concluded on but apart from the looks I still have doubts about what I feel for Michelle or do I feel like I'm In love with her cause she is really sweet and calm or because she's always available hmm I just hope that's not the case cause I really don't want to break her heart, she has been through a lot with Racheal already, I really don't want to be the reason she gives up on love and I really don't want to think about this right now so I don't complicate matters.
"Can we talk for awhile please" Betty said all of her sudden while shoving her hand out as if asking me to hold onto which I ignored and walked out with her following me at my back till we got to a place where we could talk comfortably away from the prying eyes of people, "go straight to the point Betty I don't have strength to stand here for long" I said with a hint of irritation so she could feel how much I hate standing here talking to her but instead of feeling offended and backing off she kept smiling sheepishly, "okay okay I will go straight to the point Ash, I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry for whatever happened back then, your friend Ally was the one that made me do all that to you it was never my intention to hurt you trust me, she was threatening to tell my family about me being gay cause it turned out that she was a family friend so I had no other choice than to heed to whatever she wanted and let you go", she said and I could see the sincerity in her eyes or am I just seeing what I wanted to see? Well tbh i have been waiting for this day when Betty will explain why she did what she did to me till I met Michelle and I felt like I didn't need Betty's explanation anymore but why I'm feeling really happy right now cause of whatever she told me and me finding out that she didn't really want to let go on her own will, " I know you already have a girlfriend but at least we could still be friends" she said with hope in her eyes and I really couldn't say no to her, I'm really scared that this will complicate my relationship with Michelle but I can't say no to Betty's plea either, it's just pure friendship she wants after all or is it? Gwashh I just hope I'm not venturing into something that I might regret later.
