"Aren't you better than me at everything? Haven't you achieved whatever the fuck you wanted? Why aren't you satisfied yet? Why are you trying to take away the one thing that I have and you don't! My best friend! Why are you trying to snatch that one thing away from me?" Masen blasted at me.
I waited for the guests to leave to take him to the room and fucking beat his ass. I had no fucking idea what's wrong with him!
We're supposed to talk in a civil manner.
We're supposed to talk in a civil manner.
We're supposed to talk in a civil manner.
I repeated that in my mind and took a deep breath.
"She's not a thing that I could just snatch away as I please," I managed to say that without raising my voice, "And also, you've lost the right to call her your best friend."
"My point is, what was the need of this drama?" He asked calmly.
"Yes, that's exactly my question as well," I said.
"You could have said something to me when I said I was going to propose to her. You could have said that if you both were fucking there in San Francisco." He said.
He was being absolutely ridiculous right now!
"There was absolutely nothing between us, nothing!" I said, "If you had questions, you could have talked to me or her privately, and try to talk to us without creating this ruckus!"
"I refused to believe that you weren't fucking each other," he said.
"Then that's your fucking problem!" I snapped.
"Let's assume that you weren't fucking, but you definitely seem to have some feelings deep down there... Why didn't you say anything about that when I said I was going to propose to her? Why did you try to make a fool out of me?"
"Actually you know what? I think I know the one line answer to all your insanity." I snapped, "You aren't able to handle her rejection! That's it!"
"Oh, I can handle the rejection just fine!" He chuckled, "Bella and I had already broken up, and I handled that pretty well!"
"So if you had broken up already, why the hell did you propose to her?" I shouted.
"That's my personal decision," he said.
"Oh! So now you care about keeping something personal or private," I looked at him with disbelief.
"Anyway, so I can handle the rejection pretty well," he said, "It's you that I can't handle. I won't be able to tolerate that you are trying to take away something that belongs to just me, not to you!"
"First, Bella doesn't belong to you. She has made it pretty clear today! And second, I told you, there was absolutely nothing between us." I said.
"Well, you were spending a lot of time together there..." he said, "But let's assume that I just had a misunderstanding and there wasn't anything between the two of you," he said, "Then, can you promise me something?"
"Considering the mess we have got," he continued without waiting for my answer, "I want you to promise me that you'll stay away from Bella. That's the least you can do for me."
I looked at him with disbelief. Was he always like this or was it just the after-effects of the rejection?
"I'm not going to promise anything to you," I said.
"Isn't there a thing like a 'bro code'? Aren't you aware of that?" He said incredulously, "Even friends follow that! And you're my fucking twin brother! This is the least you should do for me!"
"I'm not going to do that," I said, "You can do whatever the fuck you want to stop me!"
