Don't Bite

Chapter 14-My Ex BestFriend

"You two are being childish!" I exclaimed for the umpteenth time.

Rebecca stuck her nose up in the air and crossed her arms over her chest stubbornly. "I promise you that I will not move this car until he apologizes," she stated simply, not even bothering to look at me.

Blake scoffed from the back seat. "I'll be damned if I apologize for telling the truth. You're a terrible driver, you drive like a manic!"

"Excuse me?" Rebecca snatched her seatbelt off, and turned to glare at the blonde. "I am not a maniac!" she yelled, clearly outraged.

"I never said you were a maniac, I said you drive like one! "

"Well, you might as well have called me one!"

"So you want me to call you a maniac? Fine, you're a maniac!"

Rebecca gasped. She turned to me, her grey eyes wide. "You're just going to let him insult me, Roxie?"

I looked at her in disbelief. "Uh... do I look like I care?"

"You should! We do belong to the same pack, after all... plus, he's a vampire!"

I sighed, sick of hearing bickering. "Don't drag me into this."

She shook her head. "I cannot believe I ever used to be friends with someone like you." She sneered, anger all over her face.

This had my blood boiling. "Excuse me?" I demanded, full out glaring at her. "Someone like me?"

"A stuck up, self centered, cocky little bitch. Someone like you."

Blake grew quiet in the backseat and he watched the both of us intently, as if waiting for a volcano to erupt.

"You just do whatever you want, whenever you want and think you can get away with it! No wonder you were rejected by a freaking vampire!" she screeched, her face red.

"I was not rejected." I spoke through gritted teeth, staring at her in half shock and half anger. "I'm not stuck up! And I do not 'do whatever I want'. And if anything, you're the bitch, and I can't believe that I was ever friends with someone like you!"

She looked as if she couldn't believe what I was saying. "How am I the bitch in this situation?"

"Really, Rebecca really? You've done nothing but make my life hell for the last, what? Six years!" I screamed, losing my temper. I was ready to attack this girl. I had let her get away with so much for so long, but not anymore. Hell no.

She looked at me through her ferocious eyes, she looked about ready to attack me, too. "Yeah, I have Roxie... only because you hurt me! You did me so wrong, and I still can't seem to get back at you! Even after six years you seem as perfect as ever!" she yelled, letting out a dangerous growl and her eyes were literally flashing from black and back to grey. She was so angry that the car was starting to get warm from the heat radiating off her.

She was mad?! I'm the one who should be mad! "What the hell are you talking about!? I hurt you? You hurt me! We were best friends since we were in diapers, and you just... abandoned me. You left me alone, and when I needed you the most." I started off yelling, but eventually, I was whispering, feeling hot tears threatening to spill over. All the memories came rushing back. All the memories of me and Rebecca, when she was Becca to me and I was Rox to her. When we were bestfriends.

Her face softened and her body temperature began cooling off. "I-I did not abandon you, Roxie. If anything, you abandoned me. You changed. After your first shift, you changed. You became popular and everyone wanted to hang out with a member of the 'royal family', you got so caught up in it. You stopped hanging around me, you stopped returning my calls, and eventually... you and Carmen Pratt were inseparable." She had a painful, faraway look in her eyes as if she was reliving a bad memory.
