Castaways

"Seriously?" Angelle shot back venomously, and her voice was cold and unforgiving. 

"Sierra, you need to calm down. This is getting out of hand." I said, trying to play peacemaker.

"Luke, it's fine." Angelle said, the sadness and pain in her eyes replaced with something darker.

"Oh, yeah. Of course. You would take up for her. You love her, don't you? DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO FEED ME SOME BULLSHIT LINE, LUCAS!"  

The next moment, Michael came walking into the room, looking confused, and annoyed, followed by Crys, and the boys. 

"What the hell is going on here?" Mike asked, and Sierra turned to him, laughing bitterly. 

"Oh, you haven't heard? My loving boyfriend and best friend who I'm supposed to trust more than anyone in the world have sneaking around behind my back." She smiled through the sentence. 

"Sierra, that is completely out of line!" I finally yelled, not caring if she got mad. 

"And totally untrue," Angelle said, with a monotone voice, probably fed up. I don't blame her. 

"It was only one time. And nothing even happened." 

"Bullshit." Sierra spat. 

"Sierra, I didn't kiss him!"

"Angelle, that's not the point. He's my boyfriend! You're my best friend." 

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Crys look at Ash and Calum, sigh, grabbing their hands, and started to drag them to the living room, but before they got to the door, they started talking in hushed voices.

"I just can't believe you're trying to take him away from me." 

"Me?" Angelle remarked, legitimately shocked. "You've got to be kidding me, right now."

"No, I don't think I am! You're trying to take him from me. And for what? What did I do? Why are you trying to-"

"Jesus Christ, Sierra, YOU TAKE EVERYTHING FROM ME!!" I could see her snap, see her eyes harden, then go back when she realized what she said. She slapped a hand over her mouth, tears about to spill from her eyes. 

"What? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" 

"N-Nothing..." Angelle lost the fire in her voice and barely rasped the word out. I could see Michael getting worked up, trying to set his mouth in a line, as to not speak up. 

"Oh my-" Mike actually groaned, just as everyone, including Makayla, came back out of the living room.

"What's going on?" Makayla asked after Calum grabbed a chair for her to sit. 

"I-I'm sorry... But for fuck's sake, SHE LIKED HIM FIRST!!" Mike finally let out, and well...

"What?!" I yelled, looking between Michael and Angelle, who was shaking. 

"Michael." She all but whispered, her voice breaking. 

"What?" Sierra turned to look at Angelle, looking, finally looking at her. "You did?"

"Wh- No. No, no, no. No, he's lying, I-"

"Angelle." Michael stepped forward, nodding toward her. "Come on. It's time."

"How long?" Sierra finally asked, and she didn't sound angry. 

"I-"

"Angelle. How long?" Sierra asked slowly, and Angelle let out a shuddering breath. 

"Since sophomore year."

"What?" I asked, but she didn't look at me. 

"Since he got my hair out of the locker." A tear slipped down at her cheek, and it was the floodgate opened. She furiously wiped them away, but they just kept coming. 

"So you liked him when I... You're telling me you liked him all this time? Why didn't you tell me? Why did you introduce me to him when you had a thing for him? What kind of shit logic is that?" 

"Sierra," Calum spoke up, next to Makayla. "That's enough." 

"Oh? You're on her side? What? Did she fuck you too?" 

"Sierra!" I yelled, not ever seeing this side of her. "Stop! Who even are you right now? I don't even recognize you! She's your best friend! She waited four hours with a stupid stuffed giraffe when you got your tonsils taken out. She defended you countless times. She stepped back for you to date a stupid guy for two years, even though she liked him, just because she thought he'd make you happy." 

"Yeah. Well, a lot of good that did me..." She answered and walked upstairs.

Angelle looked straight past me, glaring at Michael. "Why would say that?"

"I-I'm sorry, I thought it would help!"

"Why the fuck would that help? Why would you think that would make anything better?"

"I thought if she knew, she would understand." 

"Well, obviously not! You just made it worse! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?!" Before I could blink, she had lunged at Michael. Thankfully, Calum's reflexes kicked in, and he held her back, while Crys pulled Mike out of the room. 

"Let me go, let me go..." Angelle repeated like a mantra, but Calum turned her around, holding her to his chest, letting her cry. 

"Shh, it's okay."

"Let me go."
