Elizabeth tapped her fingernails on the table as she listened to Me Smith rant about his proposal. He had invited her so she could help him with his plans on how to ask Victoria to be his girlfriend. He spoke with joy in his heart as he explained his entire plans to her. She wished she was the reason behind his smile. She didn't like that he was smiling because of another woman and it hurt her to her bone.While she managed to keep her facial expression blank, within her, she was burning. Her chest tightened and her stomach churned. She was in pain. She was trying to look happy for him but ended up failing because if he hadn't been too oblivious, he would have sent her.It hurts her so much that all she had in her head was means on how to strangle the woman to death. She had never thought she'd come to have so much hatred for another woman this much because of a man."So, I really need your help." Mr Smith tells her.He swallowed the pile of spit that formed on her throat. How was s

Elizabeth almost fell at that moment as her knees weakened and her jaw dropped. She blinked her eyes more than once to make sure she wasn't seeing double and each time the same face sat opposite Mr Smith.She found it hard to believe that her best friend was the one who had stolen the heart of the man she loved. A lone tear rolled down her cheek as she felt betrayed by the one and only person she thought had her back in this world.She placed one of her hands on her mouth to stop herself from making any sound as she held her back with her other hands tightly. So many questions went through her mind and the more she thought of it, the more heartbroken. She had her headache the most. "Why!" She asked within herself before dashing out of the building in tears.Victoria was the one who had stolen her man. Memories of Victoria badmouthing Mr Smith with every chance she had resurfaced in her head and it ached the moe as she thought of it.She felt Victoria had done all of that to make her

"Mathew Jason Smith." Elizabeth called the full name of Mr Smith after he sent her through a text his full name when she asked for it."You lied Victoria. You lied about everything. You intentionally misled me and called him Jason so that I wouldn't know who it was you are talking about right?" She blew out air from her mouth as she put words together."Mathew Jason Smith." She called again. She couldn't wait for Victoria to get back home so she could confront her.Victoria returned home that evening with a smile on her face as always. The feeling she had was of immense happiness. She was yet to tell Elizabeth about it because she had not seen her friend.The moment Victoria stepped her feet on the living room, she froze on spot as she saw Elizabeth seated on the couch with her head bowed and a knife in her hand."Bee?" She called as she walked closer to her friend."Bee?" She called again as she got closer. The moment she got closer, she had to move back in fear as Elizabeth pointed

Sad, broken, hurt, were the few adjectives you could use to describe Elizabeth. She had not moved from the spot she was on the floor after finding out that she and Victoria had been talking about the same man all this while.It hurt her so much that she didn't glance at Victoria once. She was angry at Victoria and at the same time jealous of her.Ever since they were little, things came easily for Victoria. She was easily accepted by others and people loved to surround her.She never had an issue with it until now. She suddenly felt angry that everything was always about Victoria. She remembered when they were in middle school. There was a new student and she was the first to crush on him and told Victoria but the boy had confessed to Victoria instead.It hurt her but she moved on from it because she was her best friend and Victoria had rejected the boy because she didn't like him.Why does it have to be her always? She thought to herself. Why were they easily attracted to Victoria? S

Mr Smith was shocked by what he heard. He never expected to hear this from Victoria. Victoria was best friends with Elizabeth, his friend."Wow!" He said, almost speechless."Yes." She spoke."I am shocked." He tells her truthfully. They were best friends and he was just finding out but what bothered him were the questions Victoria asked him and why she was asking him."Okay. I understand, she is your best friend and so what happened? I want to hear it all." He demanded as he leaned I to his chair, preparing for her answer. "The truth is something huge happened yesterday and now I am worried. I am not happy and it's taking a toil on me. I found out that..." She trailed off as she contemplated if it was okay to tell him of her friend's feelings for him.Since he didn't know, she worried that if she told him without Elizabeth's permission, it might actually do more harm than good. She wanted to tell him but she feared the outcome.She loved Elizabeth too much to lose her and she wasn't
