THE ALPHA’S ADDICTION

June?

June, her closest friend with shaggy brown hair.

June, the shy girl who wore glasses.

June, with the nerdy look.

June, that dresses in clothes that resembled a mechanic’s overall, even though sometimes she had tried to stop it, but to no avail.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

June, who had advised to keep her virginity for her husband.

June, who had said that she didn’t like boys; wouldn’t date till she was 18, next year.

June, who ate Amelia’s cupcakes and pies most.

That June?? Emma thought, as a numb feeling overwhelmed her. No, perhaps it was some other June, not hers; not her closest friend. She wouldn’t betray her this way. It was most cruel.

Emma!!!

Emma jerked up to the present, as she heard Amelia’s loud voice. Refocusing on her sister who looked worried a bit, she couldn’t help but ask the question which taunted her greatly.

“Which June?” She asked.

“June Brazel. Your best friend.” Amelia stated, sighing again as she saw the hurt look that cut across her sister’s face for the second time. She knew that Emma was finding it hard to believe. Hell! It had been hard for her too. She couldn’t believe then that the girl who looked so innocent, who she had thought couldn’t hurt a fly would turn up to be so wicked and treacherous.

“But how…? How could she do that? ” Emma muttered, more to herself than to her sister; still finding it hard to believe that June could be so cruel. She had chosen her as her best friend among the girls that throng after her because she had thought that she was different. The other girls were with her either for her wealth or popularity status, or because of her male friends, but not June, or so she thought.

She had met June in her 10th grade.

June had been a new student, a transfer student actually who wore glasses and stared at the floor while she talked. Emma hadn’t taken keen notice of her, until when she had caught Rob trying to rape her at Zoe’s birthday party.

Zoe was an 11th grader, and had only invited the 10th graders because she was good. No 11th grader in their egoistic minds would invite juniors to their parties, well except Zoe and then Patrick. Patrick was a guy with autism, and so wouldn’t mind if 3rd graders attended his party. He never hosted one though, or his parents rather.

At Zoe’s party, she had been pressed after taking some shots of vodka and was looking for the restroom when she came across Rob dragging a girl with shaggy brown hair down the hall, towards one of the rooms.

She had wanted to overlook the scenario, until she noticed that the girl was the naive new girl who didn’t talk to anyone and who never smiled; or.. well she had never seen her smile then. And she had known too that the girl was either drunk or drugged. There was no way that the naive girl could be in her right senses and stay with Rob the flirt.

So she had stomped over to them, determined to stop the cruel act, not liking it one bit when a girl is abused or taken advantage of, without her knowledge. When she had gotten close to them, she had raised up her diamond studded purse and smacked the oblivious Rob on the head.

She remembered that He had turned in anger to rubuff whomever it was that had tried to stop his goal, but had calmed down when he had seen that it was just her.

She had asked for June, and he had surrendered the drugged girl whose eyes had been shut like the dead, knowing that if he hadn’t; it might cost his father his job. His father was an employee at her father’s corporation.

She had smiled a thank you to the fuming teen, before dragging the naive girl to the poolside of the mansion. She had kept on sprinkling the girl’s face with the water she had scooped from the pool with a small bowl she had snagged from one of the tables arranged outside for the party, until she opened her eyes.

Their friendship had begun then to the suprise and envy of many girls who thought she had been crazy for choosing a nerd over them, the ‘high-class bitches’.

‘How right they were then..’ Emma thought as she reminiscenced on the part of teenage life which involved June. She had included her in everything she did, shopping including; even though the brunette had protested against it then.

But now this. How the hell did things go haywire in just a few days that she left Florida? She thought, tapping her fingers on the bed.

How did she not notice the cruelty and two-facedness of her best friend? Had she been clouded with her innocent look and puppy brown eyes? Her sister claimed her ex and her closest friend had been dating for a month already; how hadn’t she notice it? She thought, her anger building up.

“Emma..” Amelia called, almost regretting why she had mentioned June. She didn’t like the look on her sister’s face now. She knows what it means. She knows Emma could act like a psycho if triggered, especially if it involves her.

“Emma..” She called again. “Just let it go. I have. I guess people change.” She said, trying to placate her younger sister, even though she was still stung by the betrayal from two people she trusted and loved. She had accepted June when Emma introduced her then, had taken her under her wings like an elder sister would even if they were in the same grade.

“Well, I can’t.” Emma huffed, her nostrils flaring in anger. “How could she do that to you? To us??” She asked, shaking her head; already plotting ways to pay back the duo that had hurt her sister.

“You said you caught the fool more than once??” She asked, wanting to get more details.

” Emma..” Amelia called, not wanting to go further; knowing it would only fuel her sister’s anger.

“Amelia, please talk..” Emma deadpanned.

“When he came back, I had confronted him about it. He had denied it at first, until I showed him the chats. He wasn’t happy that I unlocked his phone, but he had apologized, saying that she had seduced him…” Amelia was saying, when Emma cut in.

” For a month?!! That idiot is a lying freak. So June seduced him for a month, while he stayed there doing nothing?” Emma shouted.

” He must have thought I was stupid. But I let it go after he deleted the messages. When I got home, I met the witch. She said she had come to visit, and that she missed me..” Amelia stated, her face contorted with disgust as the memory replayed itself in her mind.

“The audacity..” Emma stated with a scoff. “What did you do then?” She asked.

“Well since Blaine already apologized, I smiled like nothing happened, and invited her in..” Amelia said.

” What!!! Amelia, like seriously..” Emma said, her eyes widening at the ridiculousness of the imagery playing in her head.

“I know, I know.” Amelia mentioned, already knowing what her sister thought of what she did. “But I slapped her later on, when I caught them smooching at Jared’s party on Monday. I broke up with him yesterday after I caught them having sex in his bedroom. Emma, she had been so bland, so unremorseful like she did nothing wrong.” She said, finally freeing the tears away from the prison of her eyes; allowing her emotions to flow like they wanted. She had loved him so much.

Emma watched her sister’s tears drop to her own bedsheets, and bit her lips. Her anger was threatening to spill over, and she wouldn’t want that. The last time it had happened, it had been landed her over to the other side of the world, far away from her sister. She needed to do something. She rubbed her forehead, as an idea came to her mind.

“Amelia.” She called her sister, who looked so distraught that it made her ache.

“I’m booking the next flight. I’m coming home.” She said with finality.
