"YOU'RE f*****g MY BEST FRIEND ON OUR WEDDING DAY!", I screamed immediately I opened the door.
They immediately stopped what they were doing and looked at me.
My hands were shaking; Shock! I was in deep shock.
I covered my mouth with my hands and stared at them, I opened my mouth to speak but the words, they refused to come out.
"B...baby it's not what it looks like", he said in a whisper.
"Not what it looks like? you're f*****g my best friend on our wedding day? whattt????!", I screamed and crashed on the floor holding my wedding dress and trying to pull myself together.
My world was spinning, my entire world was spinning.
"This is... this is why you didn't show up? this is.. this is it?", I felt tears running down my eyes.
Tasha rolled her eyes, "Geez, attitude", she said so casually like I didn't just walk in on her having s*x with my fiance.
"What do you mean Tasha? like you're not even remorseful -"
"Remorseful for what? you've caught me, oh no", she said sarcastically.
My body was shaking, literally this was a nightmare and soon enough I'll wake up, I can bet on it, I will wake up soon enough.
"Tasha why are you talking like this, like this is my fiance we're talking about here, today is my wedding day! I was sick and worried when neither of you showed up, I actually thought the worse had happened, we had to track your locations to this hotel and you don't even care what you've done?", I asked, my voice literally breaking.
I turned to Alex, my fiance of 3 damn years.
"How long has this been going on?", I asked.
"A year", he replied, his voice barely in a whisper.
I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down.
"Tasha, you have been sleeping with him for a year, a solid year and you feel absolutely no remorse whatsoever. I have known you for 7 years, I've loved you as my sister, never crossed any line or boundary...", she rolled her eyes and got up from the bed and covered herself with one of the sheets while walking away from me.
"Don't you dare walk out on me!"
"Or else what?"
I was staring at this girl, unable to believe that this was the same person that I've taken as my blood for 7 years.
"You know I'm sick of you doing this s**t you always do, yeah I like Alex, f****d him a lot, so what? ".
The fact that she was saying all of this so comfortably was scaring me.
"Today is supposed to be my wedding day, I've been at the alter for more than an hour waiting for one of you to show up, but neither of you did, I thought something happened, the entire hall if filled, waiting for the groom to show up and -"
She started laughing, "So you really thought that wedding was gonna happen? oh my gosh you're so stupid ".
"We literally had a bridal shower last night, why didn't you tell me all of this!", I cried.
"This was your plan all along? to ridicule me, make me a laughing stock, make me walk up that aisle alone and face shame, this was your plan all along Tasha?", you could hear the pain in my voice as I spoke.
I turned to Alex, "how could you?".
"All I ever did was love you -"
"Please don't start", Tasha said sounding disgusted.
I turned to her.
"All the time we had issues and came to talk to you about it and you told me to dump him you were doing all of that so you could have him? gosh what have I done to deserve this? why would do this to me? is there something I've done to you to make you treat me this way? why would you do this to me?", I was literally in tears right now.
"Do you know the craziest thing about all of this? you're still going to go back to Alex, you're going to cut me off and go back to him, because you're an obsessed simp. Probably you're unloved at home and of course nobody is ever gonna love you so you throw yourself on them. You met Alex and a month later you're already talking about marriage, you forced the guy into proposing, you think he wanted you? oh baby girl you're just delusional. You are being abused in a relationship and you still stayed after he almost killed you like a million times, you're a joke, a big fat joke ".
"Well at least I'm not someone's second choice, I'm not like you that's fine being a side chick to you best friends fiance. And you went to the same abuser ", I spat back.
She laughed out loudly, "Oh darling, funny of you to think you were the first choice, or do you want to pretend like you didn't know he had multiple affairs with women. But like I said, you know no one will ever love you or so you still stayed ", The painful part about all of this was that it was true, it was all true.
"And also, I was the one who suggested he starts to abuse you, so that maybe you could finally go away but you didn't. You're so pathetic ,So you were ready to walk down the aisle with someone who would beat you to a pulp and wouldn't care about it".
NO. WAY.
"You're lying ", I choked out.
She turned to Alex.
He didn't say anything, he just kept mute and stared at the window.
"Alex please tell me she's lying ", I started calmly, my voice breaking.
"Tell me that everything, she's saying is a lie!", I screamed.
"Hey hey hey, don't do that here, get out, move on ", she said holding the door for me to walk out.
"Tasha why are you doing this to me? why are you deliberately hurting me? are you enjoying seeing me this hurt? what have I done to you?", I asked deep in tears.
She shrugged, "Nothing, absolutely nothing. I'm just a bad person, it's what I do. And of course you knew that, but no one chose to be around you except me and so you just decided to be with me. You see it's all part of your miserable life's quest; Be unloved and unchosen and accept it like that, pathetic life I'd say".
"All I've ever done was to love you ", I said again.
"Oh darling, that was your mistake and none of mine ", she said looking me dead In the eyes.
"Now get out ", she said sternly.
"There is a hall filled with people waiting for me to walk in with my groom and my bridesmaid, please, please don't do this to me, please", I went on my knees begging.
"Get out!", Tasha screamed again.
I wiped my tears, looked at her and Alex one last time and then stood up and started heading out of the room.
"Wait", Alex said and I turned around immediately. I was hoping he's say something like " I'm sorry", or "she's lying, it's all a lie", or "Let's go back to the alter I change my mind", but instead he said this;
" Tell everyone the wedding is off", he said calmly.
I felt my heart shatter into millions of pieces.
My heart started racing so fast I thought it was going to burst.
I walked out of her room, she shut the door loudly behind me and locked it.
My vision was blurry, I could barely see.
I held my dress in my hands and walked down to hallway out of the hotel, immediately I got out I started running with tears rolling down my eyes.
People were watching me, whispering, talking and pointing fingers.
I immediately stopped a cab and went straight home. Immediately I got to my house, I crashed on the floor and bursted into hot tears.
The most painful part of everything was that she was right.
I will always remain unloved and unchosen.
