Wait…Why Did Everyone I Love Suddenly Call Me a Bitch?! novel Chapter 72

Chapter 3

Brooklyn actually moved into my place.

She’s like a prison guard and I’m the inmate,

Bathroom? She’s outside the door, Kitchen? She’s right behind me. I can’t even breathe without her watching

I’m losing my mind.

Two days later, she posts this cryptic Instagram story:

[Some people are born thieves. Always wanting what’s not theirs. Like dogs who can’t stop eating garbage. Keep your enemies close, but your backstabbing friends closer ?]

She includes this selfie where she’s fake crying,

Reading that passive-aggressive bullshit makes me want to puke.

Soon my DMs are blowing up:

[Girl what happened between u and Brooklyn??]

[Is she talking about YOU in that post?]

I keep typing the same lame response: [Just a misunderstanding]

I feel so helpless.

That afternoon, Brooklyn posts in our group chat. It’s a pic of her new nails, but you can totally see my phone case in the background.

Then she’s like: [Oops wrong pic lol]

But here’s the thing-Blake has the exact same phone case.

The group chat EXPLODES.

[Mira you’re such a pick-me girl… matching phone cases with someone’s boyfriend and still claiming nothing’s going on?]

[Right?? I knew something was off when Brooklyn posted that story. Turns out you’ve been homewrecking this whole time!]

[Can’t believe we thought you were cool]

Everyone’s attacking me and I’m drowning.

I try explaining: [I got this case free at some event. Tons of people have them.]

(This is the lamest excuse ever. Do you think we’re fucking stupid?]

(Yeah right, What ‘event’? Your secret dates with Blake?]

[Stop lying. We’re not stupid]

Nobody believes me.

Then Blake jumps in: [The phone case was from that tech conference downtown. I told Mira about it because she needed a new case.]

The chat goes quiet.

I’m just starting to feel relieved when my phone rings. Blake’s calling.

But before I can even answer, Brooklyn snatches my phone and starts screaming into it.

“Blake what the HELL! You’re taking HER side? Did she seduce you too! I’m telling you right now-STAY OUT OF THIS!”

She’s screaming at him on speaker while I’m sitting right there.

The pressure finally breaks me.

I grab my phone back and point at the door. “GET OUT!”

I’ve never yelled at her like this before.

Brooklyn freezes, then her eyes fill with crocodile tears.

“You’re kicking me out? See! You ARE guilty! Hit a nerve, didn’t I!”

She grabs her stuff, still crying and yelling.

I throw her suitcase into the hallway and slam the door.

But she doesn’t leave. She sits outside WAILING, screaming my name and telling everyone how “mean” I’m being.

The walls are thin. Soon the neighbors are knocking.

I open up to find them all staring at me with disgust.

[That poor girl… how could you be so heartless?]

[Look how you made her cry]

I feel naked, like everyone can see right through me.
