You Don't Know Me

N I N E

"He cheated on me Anthony. I didn't even want to tell you. You pulled it from me and decided to start this weird fake relationship to benefit yourself-"

"Summer put your god damn seatbelt on" Anthony yelled.

"Just bring me home" I whispered after putting it back on.

"Okay"

~~~

"Are you okay?" Eric asked when I walked in the living room.

"I'm fine" I kick my shoes off.

"No you're not. You're pissed" Eric said.

"You know what? You're right. I'm pissed" I spin towards everyone (Eric, Matt & Tanner) in the living room.

"Somehow it's my fault that Yasmine showed up. Somehow everything is my fault. Her showing up, him not knowing she was coming back, his friendship issues, Pluto not being a planet, global warming. Everything" I exclaim.

"Want me to beat him up?" Matt asked.

"No!" I yell and stomp my foot.

"Why not?"

"Because he cared about my seatbelt" I yelled in frustration.

I stomped into my room but I could still hear the confused laughing coming from my brothers.

The rest of the night went by slowly. I couldn't sleep because I was still angry. Angry at Anthony. Angry at Yasmine. Angry at Tanner. Angry at Kali. But mostly angry at myself.

I should have told Anthony what Yasmine said to me freshman year. It would have stopped alot of pain. Freshman year was the year he really fell for her and if I told him, that wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't be hurt and angry at me.

I had been ignoring everyone's calls. Marilyn's, Kali's, even Matt tried to call me to make sure I was really okay. But I didn't want to talk. I just didn't understand why Anthony blamed me for what happened. I mean yeah. I didn't tell him she was back, but I would have eventually. I just didn't want to bother him with it that day.

Maybe it seems like I'm overreacting, but in my defense, Anthony never got angry with me. Yeah, there was some tough love moments but never anything like this.

I don't like feeling like this. My heart aches, my face gets hot and I get choked up. I feel like I did something wrong but I know I didn't do anything.

I glanced at my phone and saw that Anthony was calling me. I stared at my phone contemplating whether or not I should answer it before deciding that ignoring him wouldn't be a good idea.

"Hello?" I whispered. I didn't want Eric to wake up since it was around 2 am.

"I'm sorry Sunshine" Anthony said.

"You should be" I say. "I didn't do anything wrong"

"I know. I was just... frazzled"

"Frazzled..."

"Frazzled" Anthony confirms and I snort. "What?"

"You use stupid words when you're apologizing" I laugh.

"Frazzled is not a stupid word" Anthony laughed.

"Mhm sure" I said sarcastically.

"Okay. You need to sleep" Anthony says abruptly.

"Why?"

"'cause we're going out tomorrow" Anthony says.

"Since when?" I furrow my eyebrows.
