"That bitch!" I hurl another plate at the wall, still breathing heavily as the pieces rain down to the floor. "That man-stealing bitch!" I pick up another of my boyfriend's dishes and let it fly. He won't be needing them anymore, seeing as he won't be coming back.
I pick up a teacup she gave to me and add it to the destruction. I don't want to see it every day and be reminded of her. What she did.
Some things simply can't be forgiven between best friends. Like stealing a boyfriend.
How dare she? How dare they? I'm angry. I want them to suffer as I have suffered. But how? It can't be anything obvious. If it seems like I did anything to her it would ruin my reputation. I wouldn't want people thinking I stooped to the same level.
I finally find the answer online. I carefully open the package when it arrives. There are two identical cell phone straps inside. Each has a cat and a rabbit mascot attached to it. "They're actually kind of cute" I murmur. No one would guess that they carry a curse.
The next day I approach her at work.
"I got this for you," I say holding out one of the cell phone straps. Her eyes widen briefly and she looks surprised.
"We match!" I explain, holding up my own cell phone with the other strap attached to it. "This one's me," I said pointing to the rabbit. "And that one's you," while I pointed to the cat. "So keep them with you."
She took it. "Thank you" she said, a smile appearing on her face.
And then curses came home to roost.
