Chapter 3
Sheldon ran down the stairs to try to find Amy, but when he got to the street, he saw her car quickly pulling away. He pulled out his cellphone and texted her.
Amy. Please call me when you get this text. I am worried about you.
Sheldon put his phone back in his pocket, and headed upstairs. He needed to know why Amy ran out of Penny's apartment crying. He still didn't know exactly what happened to Amy today, he had tried texting and phoning her throughout the day, but she hadn't answered. Hopefully he could get some answers from Penny and Bernadette.
Penny's door was still open when Sheldon walked in. The guys, Penny and Bernadette were all staring at each other silently.
"Ok, what the hell happened here?" Leonard asked.
"Oh nothing…Just Penny completely destroyed Amy" Bernie said.
"I did not destroy Amy." Penny walked over to the wine bottle to top her glass back up.
"I think you've had MORE than enough for tonight", Leonard said grabbing her wine glass away.
Penny glared at Leonard and then turned to Bernadette. "Oh like you're all innocent. You were the one telling her she wasn't in a good relationship, mocking Sheldon, and telling her to up her game."
"Well that is nothing compared to what you said to her! You told her Sheldon doesn't find her physically attractive, and that if he was with you, he'd be begging for sex all the time!"
Leonard spat out the water he was drinking and looked at Penny. Sheldon went pale, taking all this information in.
"She also said, that if Sheldon wasn't such a nutcase, he'd be with someone hot and smart, not just smart, and that he was only with Amy cause he doesn't have to worry about being physical. AND…Leonard, you might want to know that Penny finds Sheldon to be the most attractive guy in our group."
"What!?" Leonard gasped.
"Bernie, you are such a …. Leonard it's not like that. All I said was that Sheldon is an attractive guy. That doesn't mean I'm attracted to him. Yuck! I see him like a brother, I don't think of him that way at all. He's the last person on earth I'd ever want to sleep with"
"Likewise to you Penny, likewise" Sheldon said coldly to her.
"Wow, with friends like you guys, who needs enemies" Howard said softly.
Sheldon turned to Penny and Bernie. "I can't believe the two of you. You call yourselves friends, but how can you be so cruel to each other. That's not what friends do. I may not have many friends, and I may not be the most gracious friend at times, but even I know that your behaviour tonight was completely reprehensible. It's also nice to know that you all think I'm such an annoying person, a nutcase and freely mock me when I'm not around."
"Sweetie, it's not like that.."
"You do not know what is in my head. You could not even fathom the thoughts that go through my head. Yes, I have issues with physical intimacy, but those issues are my own, and have nothing to do with Amy. I find my Amy extremely beautiful, and it upsets me to no end that you two made her feel like I do not."
"Well, maybe you should try telling her that a little more often" Bernadette said quietly.
"I am tired of everyone putting their two cents in about my relationship with Amy. You don't know how I feel about Amy, only I know! From now on, that topic of off the table. I'm sick of all the meddling. Amy had her car broken into, burnt her leg and something disastrous happened at work today which I didn't get the details to, then she comes to see her friends only to get mocked and belittled. I know Amy was so happy to have the both of you as friends, but now I think she is better off without you."
Sheldon turned towards Penny. "Penny, if you were ever my girlfriend, I would not be begging you for sex all the time. I think I would volunteer to go get castrated." Sheldon turned around, and slammed the door behind him.
"I need to sit down…" Penny sat on the couch and put her head between her knees. The room was starting to spin.
"I think this would be a good time for us to leave" Howard said. He grabbed Bernie's coat and started ushering her towards the door.
"You know Penny, just because you are not happy with your life, doesn't mean you need to try to destroy everybody else's happiness. Have a nice night….I hope you spend all of it throwing up." Bernadette walked out the door and slammed it behind her.
"Penny what the hell?" Leonard asked.
"Leonard, not now…" Penny jumped up and ran towards the washroom.
A/N: I know from reading all this, it sounds like I am a Penny hater. I assure you I am not. But for the purpose of this story, she is not happy where she is right now, and is taking it out on everyone. Thank-you for the reviews! I love reading them. It's the first time I've written a story, and it helps me write more!
