Bedding My Vampire Mate

"You both were the ones who put on a flawless act. You played me for a fool all this while. You knew I hated him but you didn't care about my feelings. Who could be a better actress than you huh?" Audrey retorted.

"You think I didn't care about your feelings huh?" Joanna questioned letting go of Amos' hand.

"Because you didn't like him, I had to pretend to dislike him too. I was practically walking on eggshells all this time because I was afraid you would get hurt if you discovered the truth…,"

"And are you trying to say it was my fault?" Audrey cut in sharply.

If only it wasn't Joanna, she wouldn't have forced herself to be so cool-headed. Her fist would have been the one which does the talking.

"Drey, that's not what…,"

"Anna, do you want me to begin telling you why I hate him? Do you need me to remind you that he is the reason why our relationship has come down to this?" Audrey questioned while glaring at Amos.

"Audrey…,"

"Don't mention my name or else I might really lose the little bit of sanity left in me," Audrey interrupted him rudely. She brought back her attention to the sad Joanna.

"Anna, we have been friends ever since childhood. And during these years we have been through a lot. We have gone through life-threatening moments and came out alive several times…," Audrey trailed. She tried so much not to show that she was hurting as she talked.

Her voice was calm but behind that calmness laid a pain so immense.

"For over a decade we have been friends never had we hid anything from each other. I had always thought our friendship will remain forever and our bond will grow stronger but I guess this was all my wishful thinking…,"

"Drey, why are you talking like this?" Joanna said with fear in her eyes. She moved a step forward, trying to close the gap between them.

"It hasn't come to this…,"

"I have told you to stay away from me," Audrey said as she moved two steps backwards to avoid Joanna's extended hands.

"The times we were friends were the happiest for me although I don't know about you. In you, I didn't only find a friend but a sister. We shared the same bed, cup, clothes… we practically shared everything hehe…,". A painful smile plastered on Audrey's face.

The smile made Joanna's chest tighten. Seeing the painful smile on her face made Joanna feel immensely hurt. Her heart felt more painful than it would have been to see Audrey in tears.

From the beginning, she knew that Audrey would be upset if she learned that she was seeing Kayden behind her back but never in her wildest imagination did she fathom that things will escalate like this.

Maybe she would have considered telling Audrey about her secret relationship with Kayden had she known that their actions would hurt her best friend this much.

"During our years of friendship, I always try my best not to make you feel inferior in any way. I did all I could to make sure that my love was enough to make up for the one your family couldn't give you…," Audrey trailed. She turned her back on them not letting them see her fallen tears.

"I did everything I could to make sure that never did my actions make you unhappy but what did you do?" Audrey asked.

"Drey, I am…,"

"With how strong our bond is I thought nothing would ever come in between us… Since it looks like our friendship and everything we shared was all in my head I guess it's better to put an end to it before we hurt each other more than we have already done," Audrey said.

She took a step forward but Joanna hurriedly held her right hand before she could take another step forward.

"Drey… are… are you trying to say that we are no longer friends?" Joanna said with a shaky tone while shaking her head.

For as long as she could remember Audrey has always been there for her. Like she said they had been through life-threatening events so many times but never did Audrey give up on her once.

They have been through thick and thin and have shared weals and foes.

She has gotten so used to having Audrey in her life and doesn't even dare to think what her life would be like without Audrey in it.

"I think it's better this way…,"

"Don't you think you are being childish by making her feel guilty?" Amos, who couldn't stand seeing Joanna in pain, intervened despite knowing that this might not be what Joanna wanted.

So what if she might not have wanted him to intervene… how could he possibly watch their friendship go south in front of him.

"Also, I know she lied to you which I am aware I am responsible for but don't you think you are going too far by breaking off your friendship?" Amos ignored Joanna's disapproving gaze and still went ahead to say what was on his mind.

"You are very aware that she won't be able to handle not being friends with you so why do you still choose to punish her this way…,"

"You think I am childish?" Audrey asked. She turned and shot a deadly glare at him.

"Is that all you have got to say after ruining our friendship and the bond we shared?" Audrey questioned with gritted teeth.

She pushed Joanna's hand away and began approaching Amos.

When Joanna lowered her gaze and saw Audrey's hands which were clenched into fists she guessed exactly what was going through the furious Audrey's mind.

[This can't be happening!]

Although she already knew what Audrey was up to by advancing toward Amos, she was lost at what to do.

One was her best friend and the other was the man she loves.
