On the screen was a photo of Ryla sitting on kitchen counter of her parent's house, her legs wrapped around another man. Another man who just so happened to be Nathan. It was a recent photo too, I remembered. It was the night at the bar, Ryla was wearing the same outfit, and she wouldn't be caught dead wearing the same thing twice.
My best friend hooked up with my ex— probably did more than that too, and God knows for how long it had been going on for.
I bet Mae had been keeping this from me as well, for what reason? I didn't know. I didn't know anything apparently. I didn't know my best friends of six years enough to know that they were stabbing me in the back. I didn't know my boyfriend of two years enough to know he was cheating on me. And I didn't know what the fuck I did wrong for everyone to screw me over so badly.
I stared at my phone in complete disbelief, my eyes cold of betrayal. My breathing shook unnaturally, and my mind was consumed with all kinds of different emotions. I felt Dominic's eyes freeze on me.
"What's wrong?" He asked, stealing a glance at my screen.
"It doesn't concern you." I responded defensively, looking out the window, staring out into the city, not meeting his eye. The sun was warm and bright, causing colours of pale yellow to ray through the window.
Dominic took my phone from out of my lap, all he had to do was swipe up to unlock it since I left it unlocked. "What the hell?" I asked annoyed, but not stopping him. I would rather him see than have to explain.
Dominic was already looking at the picture and I watched as he scanned the image, taking in every last detail of the two strangers hooking up.
He kept his hand steady on the wheel of the car as he handed me back my phone. "Who's the guy?" He asked, our fingers brushing once I took back the device.
"My ex," I replied plainly.
"Him?" He half laughed.
My voice nearly inaudible, "Yeah."
"And the girl?"
"My best friend." I barely managed to say. The situation still hadn't fully sunk in, and to admit it out loud made me want to break a window.
Dominic nodded slightly, not looking my way. "Tough."
Trying my best to take my mind off of the image of Ryla and Nathan, I breathed out, continuing to stare out the window. But no matter the amount of time that passed while Dominic drove us to the house, I couldn't stop.
