Harley
There are a handful of times in life when you just have to fake your anger and tears to please someone you love.
I loved Gina as a friend. She was a amazing person. But I loved Caleb even more. Nothing made me more ecstatic than knowing that they will both break up now.
Caleb was a playboy, I was sure Gina was too gullible to a fault to bear him and his habits. You need a very skilful, experienced and sharp-minded girl to tolerate a guy like him.
I have been single for a month. This was the longest streak since I broke up with my first boyfriend. I was just anticipating for this moment and it was finally here and I didn't even endeavour any effort.
Caleb was an addiction; that glint in his emerald-green eyes was drug.
I knew he liked me. I have caught him looking at me hungrily from head to toe more than a numerous times.
But I have lost count of how many times I have gaped at him, drooling. He's so captivating; I just can't seem to get my eyes off him.
For instance, it was once a scorching day at our highschool and Caleb and his friends were roaming shirtless in the school corridors.
How I loved his attitude...
Every girl he seemed to pass by just drowned in the beauty of his facade, sharpness of his jaw line, the fuzziness of his hair and the exquisiteness of his abs and muscles.
My friends and I stalked him all day. Gina was there too but she didn't mind because she thought we were just playing a little game.
But it was more than that to me. I couldn't help but marvel about Caleb all the time.
I knew he was a cheater; he just cheated on my best friend. But I didn't bother. I just wanted to know how it felt like to be in his arms.
I have supported Gina for five years straight now, and I still am. But, in my nasty mind, I was plotting a stern, cruel plan.
"Just do it Harley. Express your anger towards Caleb for now" urged my vicious mind "Prove to Gina that you're a friend to thank God for. You can soothe Caleb later; you know you never fail to impress guys, he'll forgive you..."
My thumbs moved hastily on the numbers on the screen of Gina's phone. I knew Caleb's number by-heart even though I never called him.
"Harley..." Gina's voice trembled "W-What're you doing?"
"You cheater" I yelled at Caleb's phone number I had typed and pretended to blow a gasket "You mess with my best friend, you mess with me!"
I didn't mean it though.
Placing her phone on my ear, I waited for him to pick up.
"Hello?" Caleb's heavenly voice spoke from the other end. There was the same thumping sound of music in the background that we had heard in a call with Connor.
"Who is this?" he sounded nervous.
I looked at Gina, her face crimson-red, waiting for my next move.
"It's Harley" I exclaimed, with all the fury I could fake "I want to talk to you"
He went silence for a moment then said "Um...okay, where should we meet?"
What the hell....
"I don't want to fucking meet you!" I bellowed, with all the ferocity I was capable of showing "How dare you? You cheater!"
"What're you talking about?" he yelled over the loud music "What did I do?"
"What did you do?" I asked back and exchanged a glance of victory with Gina "Go ask that question to the girl you're making out with right now you whore!"
"What?" his voice shuddered "I just...I was...I wasn't-"
He was caught. He was now feeling guilty and couldn't figure out the right words to say.
His 'guilty' voice was so fucking adorable.
"Shut up!" I cut him off "Connor told me everything! How dare you cheat on Gina?"
"Connor?" he asked, stunned. I couldn't help but imagine his beautiful dilated pupils "That-"
"She doesn't want you anymore!" I cut him off again "she is breaking up with you!"
Gina broke into a sob when I said that.
"Are you talking about Gina?" he asked, seeming more worried than ever "Can I talk to her?"
"No you cunt!" I cursed "She doesn't want to talk to you anymore! Go fuck yourself!" and then I hung up and blocked Caleb's number.
Gina was crying an ocean now.
I sat down beside her and soothed her "Shh its okay honey, I'm here for you"
And in my mind...I was laughing.
Caleb
Gnashing my teeth in rage, I shoved my cell phone into my jeans pocket. I clenched my fists tight, so tight that my nails dug deep into the skin of my palm, until it hurt and I frantically looked around to catch a glimpse of Connor.
He was nowhere in sight.
All I ever wanted to do was show him what bad boys do. I wanted to make him one so he doesn't get picked on by people who thought he was a geek.
And Connor...he called my girlfriend and told her I was cheating on her. And my girlfriend told this to my crush who just called me and cursed me.
Tears started to sting my eyes.
What will Harley think of me now? She'll hate me...
That was the problem with Connor; he always creates trouble for me.
My head was boiling, my heart was sweltering. How could he do this to his very own brother?
My anger was like a brutal animal. I was trying to push it away from me, stop it from consuming me. But the more I pushed it away, the more furious it got.
I never wanted to do this but Connor just crossed his limits.
Just a fraction of second later, my rage took over my legs and before I knew it, I was scurrying toward the exit.
"Hey babe where are you..." the girl, I was making out with, called out for me but her voice trailed away when I kicked the exit door open and stormed out.
"Connor!" I yelled.
He was standing out in the dark, vacant alley and turned around when he heard me.
I ran up to him and pushed him to the wall of the alley.
My blood started to boil as I gripped the collars of my very own twin brother, staring into his ocean-blue eyes.
"Why'd you do this?" I gritted my teeth, pressing him to the wall "Why did you tell Gina about this? Answer me!"
"This is about Harley isn't it?" he pursed his lips in anger.
What was he angry about? I'm the one who is in trouble!
"Harley was with Gina when you called" I gulped, trying to swallow a whimper "She fucking hates me now!"
I squeezed his collars tighter, trying to control the temptation of killing him on the spot.
"I know you're in love with Harley!" Connor bellowed "but there's no way I'm letting her fall for a jerk like you!"
'Harley?' I thought 'When did this become about her? Did he tell this to Gina on purpose so Harley starts hating me?'
"I'm the one she deserves Caleb" Connor gritted his teeth "Not a cheater like you!"
That was it; I had had enough of him already. He had done this on purpose. He made Harley hate me so he could win her heart instead. He surely wasn't as naive as I thought he was.
I let go of Connor's collar and threw a punch on his jawbone. I watched in rage as he impacted with the ground and clutched his jaw in utter bewilderment.
I regretted the punch immediately but I was so mad at him, I just couldn't control myself.
I turned around and stormed away...away into the darkness.
My temper was on fire, the chains that were keeping me from hurting him, were broken.
I hated my brother!
I hated Connor!
