"Betrayal" - A Flash Fiction
Another post woooo!!!! Hope you guys will enjoy!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have never felt so betrayed in my life. It’s January 1, the beginning of a New Year and you decide to do this to me? I don’t understand you, but then again, I never understood you from the beginning even when we were so close.
Haha…Making amends to everyone? Everyone but me? Don’t you find that heartless? I was the first person to make you feel something, the first person to comfort you and tell you that your feelings are valid, the first person to hear your problems until the end, the first person to check up on you, yet you don’t try and make amends with me? Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!
‘New Year, New Me’, you probably thought, but I don’t think you’ll ever change if you continue to act like this around me, for me, I think ‘New year, New issues!’, I can practically smell the problems I have to face later on in this year. We used to be so close but now…you act like I’m a complete stranger as if you didn’t tell me all your worries every night, as if you didn’t tell me how your day went, as if we’ve never laughed together, as if we never spent hours talking together, as if we never had something.
Good for you that you’re trying to fulfill your New Year’s resolution but I still see you the same way, the same heartless person who left me without a proper goodbye. I tried to fix that, to fix what we lost, to fix our friendship, but then you just wouldn’t let me and left me alone, again. Did you even care about me the same way I cared about you?
I probably sound jealous, bitter, or even resentful but I don’t care. I know I deserve an explanation on why you chose to act like this after everything I did for you. I deserve a proper explanation as to why you chose to act like we never had history. I deserved better.
I’m glad my friends told me all about what you did, I’ve never felt so upset before. It’s the first day of the year and you brought me this, thank you! Gee, this might just be another eventful year for me. I feel so betrayed that you did this to me. I don’t blame you if you dislike me, I admit that I have acted immaturely in the past and I’m sorry for that, but I don’t understand why you did this even when we were still on good terms, it doesn’t make any sense at all.
Are you happy with where you stand in life right now? I know I am, I have been so much better, so much happier without you but I still care about you because I still think of you as a good friend. Are you happy with a new year without me? I still remember when you were terrified of the future, terrified of what may or may not happen but look at you now, on bad terms with probably the only person who would comfort you and side with you.
Gosh, what did I do to make you treat me like this? Did I hurt you and I didn’t know? Do your friends dislike me? I don’t care what reason you may bring up, I don’t care if it will hurt me a lot, but I deserve an explanation. I deserve to know why you betrayed me like this.
I should stop thinking about this, it’s the first day of the new year and I don’t want or like this negative energy you’re giving me. I should move on and ignore you the same way you ignore me. After all, you did betray me. Who knows what you might do next.
