“Hey bestie, let’s go join the others on the dancefloor.”

“Hi Amy. Go ahead without me. I wanna sit here for a while.”

“C’mon hun, what’s wrong? It’s your party. Shouldn’t you be on the dance floor with John or something?”

“He’s leaving as we speak. Just go on Amy. If it’s my party then I should be able to cry if I want to, right?” She gave Amy a playful wide smile.

Amy persisted, “You know you can talk to me if something is bothering you. Let’s go outside for a minute, it’s too noisy here.”

Many interesting conversations happened on the balcony that night but what Chelsea didn’t know was that there was more to come.

“So he’s really jealous about your friendship with Jamie?” Amy asked after Chelsea told her everything including how she caught John trying to bribe Jamie and how he later told her to choose between him and her friendship with Jamie. He called it her thing with Jamie and gave her a week to decide.

“I’ve never seen this side of him before. Isn’t strange that he simply can’t trust me? It hurts, you know. It really hurts. I never had a boyfriend who didn’t trust me.” Tears filled her eyes but she didn’t cry. She covered her mouth to sneeze then wiped away her tears with the back of her right hand.

“I’m sorry,” Amy said with a deep tone that carried meaning.

“It’s not your fault. Hopefully he’ll realize how selfish this is and behave like an adult.” She sneezed again. It was getting colder outside.

“Don’t do it anymore.”

“I’m not sneezing on purpose,” Chelsea snapped.

“No, I mean don’t date John anymore. Put a stop to it. He’s a scumbag.” Then she opened her mouth as if to say something but words failed her. Something was eating her up inside.

“You don’t have to call him a scumbag to my face. I know he’s behaving like an idiot but he is still my–”

“I slept with him,” Amy said quickly, as if the words burnt her mouth.

“You what?” Chelsea’s eyes widened.

“I slept with him Chelsea.” Amy had already started crying but she had to let it all out. “That night we went to watch Jamie sing. He asked me to come over to his place. That was why I left early.I didn’t plan for it to happen. I should have said no but I was flattered that he wanted me so we had sex. Then I realized how selfish and stupid I was for letting him.” She continued, “I called him yesterday to tell him we had to confess what we’d done to you but he told me to get lost and was going to deny it.”

Chelsea began to shake her head. “Amy this is impossible. Tell me this isn’t true. You would never do this to me. We are BFFs.”

“It’s true Chelsea. I did it. Wake up and smell the roses.” Amy went on as if she had to free herself, “Your BFF has always been jealous of you but you just never saw it because you have a good heart.
