Chapter 16

“Why do you hate him so much?” I took a bite of ice cream and waited.

Colby and I were sitting in the food court at Woodfield Mall and enjoying a treat from Cold Stone Creamery. We’d spent the day shopping and after our ice cream we were headed to the theater to see a movie. It was our day to spend together and enjoy our friendship.

The problem was that she’d spent most of it making snide remarks about Spencer, including the one she’d just said about how she was glad he hadn’t tagged along to ruin the day.

Colby had been bitter since I’d taken the trip to Canoe Bay. She had spent several weeks ignoring me and only speaking when it was required. Though I’d felt horrible for missing our plans, I also thought it was a little overboard to take it that far.

It was wrong of me to forget her birthday. I’d admitted that and apologized more times than I could possibly count. I’d made a mistake. But that’s all it was. A mistake. And I couldn’t understand why she hated me for a mistake.

She had eventually started speaking again, but her anger wasn’t gone. Neither was the resentment she seemed to have for Spencer. It had come to the point that we mostly spent our time together elsewhere unless Colby wasn’t going to be home. She made it hard for him to be around and made all of us miserable in the process.

“Aside from the obvious?” she asked.

“Well, what’s obvious?” her tone annoyed me. I didn’t like the way she spoke about him.

Obviously I couldn’t make the two of them like each other or be friends, but the hostility was taking a toll on me. I felt like I was torn between them and it was hard to cope with. I loved them both and sometimes it seemed like my best friend wasn’t okay with that at all.

“The fact that he’s arrogant and thinks that he can just control everything you do for starters,” she spat. “He doesn’t have any regard for our friendship. You have all but replaced every single person in your life with him.” She took a breath and thought for a second. “And that’s just the basics.”

“Sounds like it’s me you hate,” I pointed out. “I’m the one that keeps choosing him. I’m the one that forgot your birthday. I am the one that spends my time with him. He isn’t delivering orders for me to do so.”

“True,” she replied. “But at the same time, you’re in a relationship you’ve never had before. So you are being dumb.”

“Dumb? I’m dumb because I love him? I’m dumb because I enjoy the time I spend with him?”

“You aren’t enjoying it. You are obsessed with it. But that isn’t what I meant,” she stopped.

“Well, then what did you mean? Because I think it’s dumb to date guys I don’t even like just to say I have a boyfriend. I think it’s dumb to meet my men at a nightclub and expect it to last.
