‘How could she do this to me? Eva that bitch!!! She was the only one who knew Emily was still alive but I never disclosed the location to Eva, so how did she find out?’ A lot of questions were running through my head as I watched Eva bring Emily into the dining room….. Treason of the highest calibre.
They are all oblivious of the hidden camera I had placed in between a flower vase in the dining room and other locations within the house. I had Clara, the maid, implant a camera in Emily’s house as well so I could watch her every move but I didn’t see this one coming…. Especially not from my best friend.
Eva and I has gone a long way back like the soul sisters, ever since I met her at the Cafe during my college years and we just seemed to clicked from the first conversation and as fate had it she became my only friend I had, We did everything together not just because of the fact that we’re roommates but because I can relate on a different level with her…. She completes my universe.
Things started to change a little bit when she started dating Chase Beckmann the star quarterback of our university football team, she became too busy for me…. For us. She went to parties with him and only popular students were allowed, her grades dropped and overall he was a bad influence on her. I flashed back to the time I tried to tell her about her new behaviour.
“I’ve been wanting to tell you something Eva” I had said.
“Go on, I’m listening” Eva said as she applied her make up preparing to go out with Chase for an all night party again.
“Don’t you think you and Chase should slow down a bit, I mean you’re faltering in your grades and it’s obviously because of him. Look I care about you and I want the best for you alright-“.
“No you don’t want the best for me Skyler, you’re just jealous that I’m having the time of my life with a hot guy. You’re just bitter!” Eva interrupted with venom in her voice. That one cut me deep and I just lost my temper completely.
“That guy is obviously a player!! Everybody else sees it except you, you’re blind to his antics” I used the same tone on her as well.
“Go get yourself a man so you can keep out of other people’s business” Eva stormed out of the room without finishing her makeup. The choice of remaining single was a personal choice and she knew that was why she attacked me with my insecurities.
After that argument I vowed not to pry into her business anymore and left her to her fate, as fate would have it I got into a relationship with Alex and I wasn’t the creepy single lady anymore, Eva and I started talking again after a sincere apology from me. Day after day my obsession with Eva grew even more to the point she was like a sister to me.
We got into some sticky situations with our lecturers regularly and we got out of them without a scratch or giving sex in return. Eva’s grades were back to top form and my and Alex’s relationship had been moving smoothly except for one thing.
“Where did you get that black eye?” I asked Eva who had come home last night looking like a beaten up one eyed pirate.
“Oh uhhh…. Yeah about that….. I uhh got into a fight with a crazy bitch at the parking lot, I beat her up but she left her mark” Eva stuttered, I had a feeling she was lying because she was averting her eyes from my stare when she was replying.
“Did Chase do this to you?” I asked angrily.
“What?? No…. No way he’d do that to me, stop thinking rubbish” Eva tried to wave the issue off.
“Hmmmm, okay then but try to take some Meds for the pain” I said watching her apply another layer of makeup to cover the bruises on her face. Chase had a long history of abusing his girlfriends, one time he beat up his girlfriend so much that she was sent to the E. R this was why I didn’t want Eva to have anything with him in the first place and now she’s regretting her choice but she’s too proud to open up and say it or admit it when I tell her.
“I will, so are you going to the Frat party this weekend?” Eva asked to change the topic.
“Yeah I am, I heard it’s an all nighter”.
“Is Alex coming?”.
“Yeah he is, I’m planning on making love with him at the party” I said excitedly, I’ve been planning this for months now and I think it’s about time me and Alex took our love life to another stage.
“Oh wow, I’m so happy for you….. Is it your first time?”.
“It’s not my first time, but with him…. Yeah” I said shyly, I was so nervous about it.
“It’s going to be alright everything will be fine” Eva’s words reassured me, that’s why I loved her. She always had a word of upliftment for me or said something that would make me feel better.
The frat party was placed on a Saturday because the lecturers won’t be there to spoil the fun and drinking spree that will ensue, Alex was looking dashing that day he wore a denim jacket that sat perfectly on his broad shoulders. After drooling over him for a minute I managed to get up from beside him and look for Eva, I saw her at the spiked punch table.
“Hey Eva, where have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere for you”.
“I just arrived sorry, Chase had to uhhhhh do something with his car” Eva lied.
“Where’s he now?” I asked, giving her a look of suspicion. Eva moved her eyes about nervously giving herself away.
“Enough about him let’s go have some fun” Eva dragged me towards the dance floor, She reeked of tequila and punched. I followed her because she was obviously drunk and needed someone to take her out of there in case of emergency or vomiting.
We swirled on the dance floor for some minutes, Eva danced like she never danced before…. drunk and with so much seductive swagger, The captain of our school football team Jasper Wayne came up from behind and started rocking her body according to the slow Jamaican twerk beat that the DJ has now started playing.
