A True Luna

Betrayal

Evee drove down the road to her house in a great mood, music playing, singing along to some 90s pop. Barely noticing the extra car in the front of the condo. She walked up the porch steps still humming to herself and unlocked the door; it was weirdly quiet. Nate worked nights so he wasn’t home but Lisa and Jason should be, and it wasn’t late the sun hadn’t started going down. She wanted to shower and take off her makeup and just relax for the rest of her night off so she didn’t bother looking around for anyone, maybe they went out with friends, Jason loved any excuse to not be around on her days off, conveniently. She made her way up the stairs and heard it, moaning and the smacking of skin against skin, and Lisa had left her door wide open, ew. She tried to duck past Lisa’s room but saw from the side of her view that it was empty, she looked down the hall to the closed door of her bedroom frozen in place. The noises were coming from hers and Jason’s room.

She had been prepared to learn that he was cheating, he had to be, it only made sense. Jason hadn’t been interested in even looking at her anymore let alone anything physical, but he had nearly demanded s*x every other night when they first got together. She tried so hard to do the things he liked, get him interested, but he was just disgusted by her anymore. She had considered he might be sleeping with other people but she never thought he’d be so cruel as to bring some random hook up to their bed, and she certainly never thought she’d have to see it happening live. She stood in the hallway, the sounds of their obnoxious love making drowned out by the anxiety in her head, when she heard a loud SMACK, followed by a voice that shattered her heart.

“What the f*** Jason, you know I hate that!” Lisa, her friend for over 10 years was in bed with her boyfriend. Evee, Lisa and Nina had been best friends since grade school, Lisa had even introduced Evee to Jason at one of her brother’s parties. This wasn’t just some random hook up, this was targeted cruelty, she had tried to confide in Lisa when things started to go badly with Jason, she had told her all the horrible things he’d done and said to her. Evee slowly pushed open the door to the bedroom about an inch, she didn’t want to look, but she had to be sure. Jason was sitting with his back against the headboard, fingers gripping Lisa’s hair shoving her head down onto his d*** while some random blonde sat to his left with her uneven t*** in his face. She watched the disturbing scene for a few moments not knowing whether to scream, cry, or kick in the door and expose them. She took out her phone and turned it on, careful to be quiet, not that they’d even notice. She opened her camera and started recording, silent tears running down her face. Jason pulled Lisa’s head off his lap and nearly dragged her up to him, kissing her roughly then positioning her in his lap. She started grinding on him while kissing the gross blonde till he forced himself inside her holding her hips making her move up and down on him. Maybe it was because of the angle or how angry and hurt she was but she swore it looked smaller than she ever remembered him being. That was more than enough evidence, she would not be made out to be hallucinating or crazy this time. She lowered her phone and silently walked back down into the kitchen where she started packing up everything that belonged to her; they were still going at it, she moved onto the living room after grabbing some boxes from the basement. She heard giggles and movement from the upstairs hall, the two girls, Lisa and the blonde came down the steps laughing amongst themselves.

“Oh hey Ev!” Lisa said as if she wasn’t just riding someone else’s’ boyfriend’s c*** like it was paying her bills; “When did you get in? Oh this is my friend Kristy”

Evee just glared at her, this b***h was just casually putting on a normal face like she hadn’t been betraying a ten-year friendship, in that friend’s bed not 20 minutes prior. Before she said anything Jason walked down the stairs and his eyes popped open briefly when he saw Evee home.

“Oh you’re back early…. What are you doing?” He had noticed the packing.

“I’m leaving, you’re both disgusting people who I will no longer allow to hurt me.” Evee stood there fighting back the urge to tear Lisa’s throat out and shove it down Jason’s.

“What are you talking about Ev, you’re not going anywhere, you can’t function without me.” Jason shrugged and started looking through a box.

Evee snatched the box from him and set it down “You might want to change your tune before this has to get ugly, I know you’ve been f***ng around behind my back, BOTH of you.” Jason started to laugh “you’re so paranoid, look at you accusing us when you’re the one who’s always ‘working’ late. Wouldn’t be surprised if you started selling your ass behind my back. Give me your phone, I bet you anything she’s got messages in there from other guys, and you wonder why I won’t touch you; you’re f***ng crazy Ev.” Jason stood there with his arms crossed, he had the audacity to turn this around on her. She was past angry at this point, the last two years he had done nothing but try to tear her down and make her feel like everything was her fault, like she deserved to be wanted and cheated on and called ugly and fat. She had proof! But he was still trying to make seem crazy, like she made everything up! Evee clenched her fists, knuckles turning white and grabbed her phone off the counter with such force the case cracked.

“YOU WANT TO SEE MY PHONE? YOU GOT IT A******.” she shoved her phone inches from his face after she linked to the TV and projected her video gallery on the big screen for the whole room. “Last chance to stop lying and trying to make me the problem.” Her finger hovered over the play button as Jason audibly scoffed at her and Lisa just shook her head and made a face like this was the stupidest thing she had ever heard.

“Ev, knock it off, this isnt cute, you’re just making yourself look unhinged” Lisa said dripping with fake concern.

“F*** you both” Evee snapped at them as she pressed play and the video of the disgusting scene played in surround sound for everyone to re-live.
