Prompt - "Describe what a friend is not".

Just Like the Movies

Tears spilling. Eyeliner and mascara dripping down my soft cheeks as sobs formed onto my lips.
Hyperventilation drained me of all thoughts, energy, and breath. How could she do this to me?
Pain was trapped within my body, clawing it's way out. I wanted it out. Instead, I cradled a pillow against my limp and shaking body.
Flashes of the night's events dulled my vision, tore through my brain, burrowing inside my heart. His smile. Her laugh. His hands. Her lips.
Their betrayal.
My one true love faded into the arms of my best friend, their bodies melting into each other as they made out. Thinking that the dark, loud, theater would mask their affair, shock overcame them as my eyes washed over them.
Finally, Mark made eye contact with me and his hands dropped like my heart did. His sweet lips whispered my name as my blood boiled to a crisp. Pain swallowed my heart into an abyss of pure torture.
I wanted to run. Move. Do something.
Needles pricked my nerves as Dana's eyes met mine. Water trickled down her flushed cheeks. "Trisha, you don't understand," she tried to explain, as if those four words could take back her betrayal. As if she was the victim.
"Yes, I do understand. I now understand what a best friend is," venom words foamed from my dry lips, the cracked pink flesh adding to my pain.
Steps came to my feet, so many of them. They needed to be released as quick as I could, the world fazing by as I obeyed my shoes. Thoughts of Dana's friendship pressed my conscious into further frustration.
How could she do this to me
Friends don't steal their friend's boyfriend.
Rage clouded my thoughts, pumped my veins, squeezed my organs. Squeezing my stomach so hard. Too hard.
Vomit resulted in my emotional breakdown. Well, "emotional breaking".
I can feel it.
I'm falling, down, down, and finally crashing, the sick taste of friendship lingering on my lips.

I felt blood trikle down the back of my neck. A large gash at the back of my neck where she had tried to stab me. Well she had tied to stab me but dad had walked in just in time. "Poor Erin has a terrible gash at the back of her head!" Said Sally. I didn't like Sally and Sally didn't like me. Sally was just a replacement of mum. 'Let me have a look dear." he said. "She tried to-" I was cut of by Sally who said." Please dear you shouldn't talk right now you sound hysterical!"
