I could see how much Evie loved Gabriel before, but Gabriel, that scumbag, did such an unforgivable thing! He didn't only cheat on Evie, he even brought the homewrecker with him when he broke up with Evie. How could there be such a scumbag in this world?
"He has gone too far. Gabriel is an asshole. How could he treat you like this?"
My hands were clenched into fists, and my heart was full of anger. At this moment, I wanted to find Gabriel and get even with him.
"Hollie, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I really shouldn't have quarrelled with you for Gabriel. I know you did it for my own good at that time. You didn't want me to get bullied by this scumbag. I'm sorry I didn't believe you."
Evie's tears flowed even more fiercely. She kept wiping her tears with a tissue and kept apologizing to me. The way she was acting now made me feel worse than when I had ended my relationship before.
"Evie, it's alright, you don't need to apologize to me. I know you loved Gabriel at the time, so you couldn't listen to reason. I don't blame you."
Even though she had made me sad at the time, I had never blamed her. If I were in her shoes, I would have probably done the same thing.
"Hollie, you really don't blame me? I threatened to end our friendship for Gabriel."
Evie looked at me uneasily and asked again. I could see the guilt in her eyes.
"We've been friends for so many years. Don't you know my character? If I really blame you, I won't come here tonight."
The uneasy expression on her face made me feel a little uncomfortable. I knew that she must feel very sorry towards me now.
I was angry at the time, otherwise, I wouldn't have left her house. But so much time had passed since then. I had calmed down a lot. Evie was still my best friend. How could I continue to be angry with her?
"Thank you. I'm relieved. Thank you very much. Thank you for coming to comfort me at this time."
Evie hugged me tightly again, choking with sobs.
"Don't go and be polite with me now. I know you're really sad. If you need to cry, just cry. It will make you feel better."
I patted her back gently and kept comforting her.
I had also been betrayed before. I knew that kind of heartbreaking pain. I once lost the will to live. I knew that Evie felt the same as me at the moment.
"Hollie, I really love him, but why did he treat me like this? Why? I even gave him my virginity. Why didn't he cherish me? Why did he hurt me like this?"
With tears streaming down her face, she asked many questions, but I couldn't answer a single word.
Evie was a good girl. She had given her all to this relationship, but the person who paid the price was the one who was most likely to get hurt.
"Evie, forget him. He is not worthy of your love. Just pretend that you've been bitten by a dog."
I felt I was insulting dogs when I compared Gabriel to a dog. Even dogs were loyal. He wasn't. He was a total scumbag.
"But I really like him. I really want to be with him. Hollie. Tell me, what should I do?"
Evie could not come to terms with the fact that Gabriel had dumped her for another woman. This was her first love. She had given everything she had to this relationship, but this was how it ended. Most people wouldn't have been able to accept this.
"Evie, can you calm down? Gabriel, that scumbag, is not worthy of your love!"
