The betrayal felt like a violation, a desecration of the sacred bond of friendship we had forged over the years. I could feel something within me, unidentifiable at first.

He laughed playfully like his words were somehow hilarious like they didn't hurt me. This is what betrayal feels like, what it feels like to have your heart completely shattered by one person, one single person. I glanced away trying to hide my pain, not only does it hurt but I'm beyond embarrassed. I felt like I couldn't breathe, my fingertips felt numb and my mouth grew dry.

It was a strange and unexpected kind of betrayal and not the kind that made me lash out in anger but the kind that settled deep in my chest like a weight pressing against my ribs and making it just a little harder to breathe. It shouldn’t be this deep but anything that is slightly betrayal hits me.

“Imagine if the soccer club didn’t conduct regular tests. Imagine if they didn’t make soccer players get screened every couple of months. I could have caught something. You yourself called him a walking gonorrhea man—you said it, Lala! So what were you thinking, huh? Were you even thinking about me? My feelings? Or were you just thinking about yourself and the free money?” Lala collapses, as if the truth’s impact had knocked the wind from her. Her sobs come loud and messy, echoing through the room.
