Wait…Why Did Everyone I Love Suddenly Call Me a Bitch?! novel Chapter 70

Chapter 1

3 AM. My phone’s buzzing like crazy with Brooklyn’s name lighting up the screen.

“Girl, my boyfriend only hearted five of my Insta posts last night. Does that mean he’s over me?”

I’m barely awake, squinting in the dark. “Babe, you’re spiraling. He probably just crashed.”

Half an hour later? She’s calling AGAIN.

“He’s got that work trip tomorrow. You gotta tell him-NO talking to female coworkers. Like, AT ALL.”

My eyelids feel like concrete as I mumble whatever she wants to hear.

Then my phone rings AGAIN.

What now?

“Oh! And make sure he texts ‘I love you’ ten times a day. But like, switch it up each time, you know?”

I’m trying so hard not to lose it. “Brook, honey… you’re twenty-six. Maybe handle this yourself?”

Thought that was it.

NOPE.

I wake up to 102 missed calls and a phone full of texts accusing me of wanting to steal her man.

Are you KIDDING me?

The buzzing drags me out of some decent sleep for once.

I pick up my phone and holy crap-102 missed calls.

ALL Brooklyn.

Plus about fifty texts saying the same crazy stuff:

[why ru ignoring me???]

[ur guilty aren’t u]

[I KNEW u wanted Blake!!]

My head’s pounding as I call her back,

She picks up before it even rings once.

“FINALLY you picked up! What the FUCK were you doing! You’re guilty as hell, aren’t you!”

I rub my temples, my voice all scratchy from sleep: “Brooklyn, it’s four in the fucking morning. I was SLEEPING.”

“Sleeping my ASS! You were having phone sex with Blake!”

My head’s pounding and I can’t get through to this psycho.

“You told me to handle Blake myself so you could cut me out and swoop in! Mira, you’re such a backstabbing BITCH!”

Now I’m pissed.

“Brooklyn, chill the hell out! When did I EVER go after Blake?”

“I SAW the way you eye-fuck Blake every time he’s around!”

I feel like I can’t breathe, like someone’s sitting on my chest.

“I don’t want your boyfriend.”

“PROVE IT! Swear on your life you’ll never hook up with Blake-like, if you’re lying, I hope you get hit by a bus!”

Just to shut her up, just to get some damn sleep, I give in.

I raise my hand like I’m in court or something. “Fine. I swear, if I ever get with Blake, may I get hit by a bus. Happy?”

She goes quiet for like two seconds. “Okay, that’s better. Tomorrow you’re gonna watch him for me. I’m sending you his hotel info.”

I grunt something and hang up.

Then my phone rings AGAIN.

Ugh, what now?

I don’t even check the caller ID. “Are you SERIOUS right now?”

But it’s Blake’s voice. “Mira? Hey, it’s me. What’s up with Brooklyn?”

Oh shit. I actually look at my phone this time.

“She called you?”

“Yeah, she was freaking out, but when I asked what’s up, she just hung up. Figured you’d know since you guys are close.”

I’m trying to figure out how to explain that his girlfriend’s having a mental breakdown when the call cuts out and Brooklyn’s number takes over.

My stomach drops.

I hit accept and Brooklyn’s voice comes screeching through the phone.

“I FUCKING KNEW IT! Talking behind my back at four AM! Mira, you sneaky bitch!”

She was listening the whole time.

Everything’s spinning. I’m not tired anymore-just panicked and furious.

“You were SPYING on my calls?”

“How else would I catch my backstabbing bestie trying to steal my man! What do you have to say NOW, bitch!”

“Get your ass over here in thirty minutes! We’re settling this R to see what a homewrecker you are!”
