“Oh you don't? Well, do you think they are any of my best friend's business?”

“Actually, no. My ability to afford a flat is nobody’s business but my own.”

God, where was Drew?

“Tell me something, Ms. Noble,” he stated flatly, sounding as if he was a barrister and I was on trial. “How do you pay for such lavish digs as this?”

I wasn't going to answer him. It was none of his business that I had gotten up every morning and gone to school, gone to work right after, and worked until bedtime for two years straight to pay for it all. It was none of his concern that every summer of those two years was dedicated to working to earn money for university instead of having fun with my friends.

“That is none of your concern, Clayton.”

I stood and walked toward the door. “Now I must ask you leave my flat. I refuse to put up with this nonsense.”

He stood slowly and grinned as he walked toward me, his long, black designer coat swinging with each step. “I'll go, but I want you to know that Drew knows everything.”

My heart stopped. I suddenly put it all together.

“What?” I managed with a whimper.

“He knows, Eliza, that your father works for the tabloid and that all of this is probably paid for because of stories he has written about his family. He knows!” he screamed. “He is finished with you. You are nothing to him but trash. I tried to warn him,” he said as he grinned. “But you know Drew; he wouldn't listen to me. I tried to tell him that you are a nobody and he needed to keep his distance from you.”

He opened the door handle and walked out. Turning toward me, he spoke once more. “Maybe now he'll listen to his best friend, instead of his dick.”

My heart sank as he walked down the hall because my only fear had manifested itself. Drew knew, and he was coming to tell me that he wanted nothing else to do with me.

I sat on the couch and began to cry. It was my own fault. I had the opportunity to tell him, but I didn't. I was afraid of losing our friendship. Now, I had lost it all because Clayton told him first. Drew would never forgive me, and I had no one to blame but myself.

The sudden knock caused me to jump, and I slowly walked over to the door, dreading seeing his face. I could almost feel the disappointment through the door between us. Part of me didn't want him to come in and part of me knew that he had to. My hand was shaking as I turned the knob and opened my fate.
