"I may have my faults Gideon but your behavior hasn't helped" Max's dad sneered
"My behavior? because you've been such a stellar example for our son" Gideon scoffed
"At least I know what he's up to"
"Up to? he's not up to anything since you left us"
"I'm talking about what's going on with his teacher" I started coughing hysterically and choking on my chicken. Why would he bring this up now, I mean really, was it necessary.
"Julien is just jealous of my relationship with Obie and she's trying to sabotage it" Zoya continued
"I'm not trying to sabotage anything" Julien groaned, I drank the rest of the wine in my glass before pouring more as Zoya, Julien, Obie, and Aki argued about plans after dinner
"What are you doing man?" Obie asked Aki "I have no problem with you being-"
"The asshole can't even say it" I scoffed
"Being-"
"What?" Audrey snapped at Obie who was struggling to say the word
"You can say it," Aki told him "can't you?"
"The too young part?" Nick asked Julien
"Dad she's just lying," Zoya said
"Lying about what Zoya?" Julien asked calmly
"Julien stop" I yelled "you are running thanksgiving"
"Stop Zoya from making a terrible mistake?" Julien asked "Somebody has to"
"You know what, we don't have to hang tonight, or tomorrow, or ever. Audrey and I are going to be busy fucking Max again anyway" Jamie gasped and of course, at that moment everything went silent and everyone's eyes landed on me.
"What's he talking about?" I asked Max hoping that he would have a reasonable explanation as to why Aki was saying nonsense
"Is that a joke?" Kiki asked hopefully and Audrey shook her head, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at me. I covered my eyes with my hands trying not to cry. Jamie rested her hand on my shoulder and I breathed heavily. Max started giving a speech about how it wasn't Rafa's fault that they slept together and everyone was so sympathetic about it I just couldn't stand it
"Ok whatever" I snapped "you feel bad about sleeping with Rafa, who else do you feel bad about sleeping with huh? Aki? Audrey? Me?" I let out a sob "I trusted you more than anyone in the word and you betrayed me"
"Cat," he tried but I shook my head
"Don't, there's nothing you can say or do that will ever fix this, and Audrey, this" I pointed between me and her "this friendship, it's over"
"Don't do this" she said "Cat, please"
"She made a mistake" Julien added
" You knew?" I cried glaring at Julien before turning back to Audrey "You were my best friend, and you slept with the boy that I love with all my heart" my voice cracked "I was so busy dealing with Julien's problems that I didn't even realize that the best friend and the boyfriend and I guess the other friend too were all fucking behind my back." I sniffed leaned back in my chair "at least now I know how Zoya will feel"
"What do you mean?" Zoya snapped
"Cat," Julien frowned
"No, Julien what is she talking about?" Zoya asked "holy shit you slept together" she looked between Obie and Julien and a phone in their hands. I don't really know what was going on, on that side of the table but I'm pretty sure all the secrets had been released
"We did not, Zoya of course we did not," Obie told her "Cat's just hurting right now"
"Yes, we did," Julien said "it was a mistake and it will never happen again" Zoya shook her head and stood up.
"I'm out" I announced wiping away my tears "come on Jamie" she quickly got up linking our arms and walked towards the door. My dad followed putting his hand on my shoulder
"Cat," Max got up and followed
"Walk away" My dad frowned walking towards Max in a threatening way, "I think you've done enough if she wants to talk to you she will, but not tonight" I couldn't believe that thanksgiving had ended this way, everyone was in tears and there is nothing to be thankful for, nothing.
