I released Michelle at the sound of the door slamming shut and stood upright, my eyes wide in fear at the sound of Sasha's voice. I wasn't scared for myself, but for Kaden. I knew Sasha wasn't a bad person and she wouldn't go to great lengths to hurt him, but I couldn't say the same for Michelle.

Something told me deep down that Michelle was going to do something. If handcuffing Kaden and his "girlfriend" to the bed wasn't enough, I was afraid of what she'd do next. "We're up here!" She screamed and I snapped my head towards her quickly.

"What the hell are you doing Michelle?" I spat. She flickered her eyes toward me and smiled, "payback." In all honesty, Michelle was being a hypocrite. She wants to go to all these lengths because Kaden cheated on Sasha and yet still she cheated on Brandon with me.

I'm not complaining, because, in the end, we're still together, but where was this energy when she did the same thing to him?

I know I should have dragged that girl out of here when I found her by the pool, but 1; I didn't want to put my hands on a girl without a very good reason and possibly get charged. 2; I knew in my heart that I would never cheat on Michelle. . .not after what happened at the lake party. And 3; I'm not Kaden's keeper.

What he does with his life is on him. I don't want to get dragged into the middle of his drama. Sasha maybe my "friend" but I don't owe her anything, yes Michelle has a point about if Sahsa were hurt she'd get hurt too but who said I wanted to be in the middle of this? I was already being accused of something I had little to no control of

And if Kaden were already cheating on Sasha, me persuading him to not do it would have gone on deaf ears. Kaden is my best friend, I know him better than anyone. When he puts his mind to something he doesn't back down and he'll reap what he sows.

In the end, you have to make mistakes to learn from them. I'm not gonna save Kaden from himself, he needs to do that for himself.

"Michelle I-" Sasha appeared in the hallway, her eyes flickered down towards Ronda and Amelia. Ronda had regained consciousness and peered up at Amelia, the colour now drained from her face. "What's going on here, who are these people?" She asked confusedly as she dragged her gaze towards Michelle.

"Oh them!? Oh the one on the floor is Ronda, she kissed Mason by the way and the other one is Ameila. . .Kaden's girlfriend." The room fell into silence and I watched as Sasha's face dropped. She dropped the plastic bag onto the floor and leaned against the wall, her eyes welling with tears.

Oh shit.

"I knew it, I knew that bastard was cheating on me." She chuckled softly, her lips pulled into a tight-lipped smile as she shook her head in disbelief. I turned towards Kaden whose gaze locked with mine. He didn't say a word but instead lowered his head, a sigh escaping his lips.

This is fucked up in ways I can't even comprehend.

"Ronda, Amelia, please leave my house. I don't have the patience anymore, it's running thin." Michelle exclaimed as she sauntered towards them. Amelia wrapped her hands under Ronda's arms and hoisted her upwards, her intense gaze flickering towards Sasha.

"I'm so sorry, I really am."

Sasha narrowed her eyes at her and clenched her fist tightly, she pushed herself off the wall and took one step forward before halting, "just, leave." She said as she stepped out of the way and motioned towards the stairs.

Both of them scrambled away quickly and I let out a breath of relief as I slumped down onto the chair. I was afraid of what Michelle might do to them. I've never seen her like this, I mean I know what she's capable of but I never saw her this. . .angry and ruthless up close. She wasn't even this angry when I kissed that girl at the lake party.

That scares the shit out of me.

"I knew something like this would happen, I'm hurt I must admit it but I knew you were shit from the time we began dating Kaden." Sasha suddenly said as she stepped into the room, her eyes focused on Kaden leaned against the headrest.

"Sash I'm sorry for lying to you today, I just wanted you to get out of the house so I could get answers for you before you came and saw this," Michelle exclaimed as she leaned against the wall, her lips downturned in a frown.

"No, it's okay. I don't want answers, he cheated and that's that, there's nothing more to know. I just wish you didn't waste my time, if you didn't want to date me you could have just said so, I wouldn't have died or anything, I could find someone better than you. And to think I did all this for you, well and myself but mostly you."

I watched as she motioned to her hair and then her nails before she burst into a fit of humourless laughter, her head shaking once again as if she still couldn't comprehend what was happening. "I thought I would have been devasted but you know what? I'm not because I was expecting this.

I mean not like this but I expected to find out you were cheating one day and honestly it's a relief to know so I can stop beating myself up about it. I just wish I could get you back for the shit you've put me through Kaden."

The room fell into silence once again and for a second no one said a word until Michelle's brows suddenly perked upwards. She clasped a hand over her mouth and giggled before flickering her eyes towards me then Kaden.

"Do you remember the story I told you about that guy named Buck who I met that time I vacationed here? The tall cute one who told me he was a-" she moved closer towards Sasha and lowered her mouth to her ears before whispering something.

Sasha's eyes widened for a second before she suddenly began to nod her head vigorously, a snort escaping her lips. "It's not worse than being cheated on," she muttered. Michelle pulled away from her and smiled. "This is gonna be fun,"

"What the hell are you two planning?" I inquired as I began to rise from the chair. Michelle rushed towards me quickly and shoved me down before grabbing my arm, twisting it behind my back and cuffing it to the chair.

I snapped my head upwards and pulled my hand back, only for it to slam right back into the chair. "What the hell are you doing, Michelle?" I growled. She sighed and lowered herself down in front of me.

There was no amusement on her face as she peered up at me, but I could clearly see the anger and hurt in her eyes as she spoke, "I haven't kissed one guy throughout our relationship and somehow you managed to kiss two girls. I don't care if you didn't instigate the second one but Mason, I hate that feeling.

You'd hate it too, hell you'd probably want to kill me if I did kiss another guy. I love you but sometimes, a girl needs a little unconventional payback." She said before she got up and planted a kiss against my cheek, "enjoy."

•••

Pyscho's. Michelle and Sasha are psychotic. Now listen, a few months ago I'd never think that my girlfriend and her best friend would hold my best friend and I hostage, but here were, handcuffed in a room against our will whilst they planned something malicious.

I get it, I can be an asshole most times, but Michelle is looking for trouble with me. She knows that I don't take things lightly as others do but here she is, holding me hostage for something I barely had control of.

"MICHELLE!" She snapped her head towards me and pursed her lips in a thin line as she leaned against the wall, "Michelle I swear on my grandmother's grave I will kill you!" She chuckled deeply and shook her head, "you won't."

"You don't know shit about fucking shit, Michelle. I-I am LOSING my patience here, I have little to none."

"And I already lost mine! Get in line, DOLLFACE!" She snapped before pivoting on her heels and storming out of the room. As soon as she left there was a loud knock on the door downstairs and I sat upright, my heart slamming in my chest wildly from the anger pulsating in my bones.

"Couldn't keep your dick in your pants huh Kaden? These bitches have tasers and we're freaking cuffed to a chair and a bed! Did you not know who you're messing with, have I not warned you about the shit this girl can do!?"

He chuckled softly and shook his head slowly as he flickered his eyes towards me, "this was long overdue, Mason. She was gonna f you up one day, but it came sooner than later. Just don't lose your shit on her, she's angry, let her release it."

I'm angry too. Angry at Kaden, at Sasha, at Michelle but mostly myself.

I hate myself.

God, I need to leave this place before I do something I'll regret.

"Boys we have a special guest for you today, his name is Buck and he came all the way from the strip club to give you guys some one on one action. I hope you enjoy the free entertainment. Here's your chance to cheat again Kaden, you wanna take it?"

These bitches are crazy.

I'm gonna kill her, I really am. "What?" I chuckled humorlessly as I narrowed my eyes at the man who stumbled into the room, clothed in nothing but a g string. Kaden leaned his head against the headrest and burst into a fit of laughter, "fucking hell, oh god!" He exclaimed.

"Buck is gonna put on a show for you guys, and if you don't watch. . .we'll tase you," Michelle exclaimed as she retrieved the taser from her pocket and turned it on. "Y-you're not serious right? This is crazy, this isn't a movie Sasha! Just-"

"Oh we're dead serious," she growled as she glared at Kaden. She motioned towards the Buck guy and smiled, "hit it, baby." He placed a boom box down onto the floor and pressed play. The song pony blared through the speakers and I leaned back in the chair, cackling softly as I tried to shove my anger down.

I could feel my body beginning to shake with rage but I kept it at bay as I glared at Michelle who was leaned against the wall, her eyes focused on me.

Okay, Mason. She's angry, she doesn't trust you, she hates you.

She hates me right? Because I'm not worth it? I knew she never forgave me for kissing that girl that night. I apologized so much, goddammit I even cried because I thought she was gonna leave me. I have to understand that she's just angry right?

She won't leave me. . .right?! If she does I won't be able to leave with myself. She can't leave me.

The entire time that Buck danced around the room, shaking his bare ass beside me or Kaden, I kept my eyes trained on him because one; I didn't want to get tased and two; because I'd get angrier if I looked at Michelle.

But after this, I'm gonna murder him for even touching me with those big veiny arms. "Why don't you climb on the bed Buck, Kaden likes it when people ride him," Michelle exclaimed, a snort escaping her lips as Buck climbed on top of Kaden.

He cried out loud and thrashed against the headrest, spurting out threats towards Buck who was hesitating to move forward in fear that Kaden would make good on his words.

"I'll murder you Buck, I'll rip your guts out slowly and make you see it before you die then I'm gonna feed it to your mom and dad and do the same to them, you understand?" I shook my head in disbelief but couldn't find it in me to laugh, because this wasn't funny. . .it was unconventional and crazy.

"You having fun Mason?"

"Speak to me again and I'll rip your throat out, Sasha," I said calmly as I tried tugging my hand out of the cuffs again. I could easily get out by breaking my thumb but I didn't feel like breaking any bones right now and if Michelle knew what was good for her she'd let me go soon.

"Michelle I'm done playing games if you don-"

"Mason likes to talk a lot, why don't you introduce your ass to his mouth, Buck?" She said through gritted teeth and I paused as our eyes interlocked. Her gaze hardened and I'm assuming mine also did as we glared at one another. "You're pushing your luck, this was funny at first, but not anymore."

She pushed herself off the wall and sauntered towards me in long strides before she lowered her head down before me. "I could say the same thing Mason! All these games that you played with me over the few months were funny at first but it's not anymore!

How would you feel knowing the person you're in love with constantly hurts you one way or the other whether that's directly or indirectly over and over again and always has an excuse for their behaviour. I know you're going through shit Mason.

I know you probably want to kill me right now, I know you may hate me right now but I took a risk to get payback today and if you think threatening me will make me unlock these cuffs then you're wrong! I'm done with the excuses and the apologies, DONE!"

"You're breaking up with me?" I muttered softly. I could feel my heart slamming against my chest rapidly to the point where I feared that I would go into cardiac arrest. I could feel the tears pushing at the back of my eyes as I gazed into hers, hopeful that she'd say no.

I can't live without her. How could I? How could I look myself in the mirror every day knowing that I don't have her in my life anymore and it's all my fault? There's no way in hell I'll ever leave her unless if it's to protect her.

She gulped and lowered her gaze down onto the floor, "Dollface. . ." I mumbled softly. She hoisted herself up and rounded the chair. I frowned in confusion and flickered my eyes towards Kaden and Sasha who were both staring at us intently, equally confused.

Then there was a click and my hand fell limp behind my back. She removed the cuffs and flew it onto the floor before pivoting on her heels and storming out of the room.
