"drea! drea!" someone is banging on my door like they want to break it down, i look at the clock on my bedside table and it's just 7:00 am, who could be knocking on my door this early on a saturday morning? I groggily get out of bed and head into the sitting room all while shouting

　　"who is it?" i don't hear an answer so i slowly head to the door and look through the peephole. "vee?" i see that it's veronica, we grew up together in the same estate, our mothers are friends which makes us practically sisters, i quickly remove the bolts and open the door, as soon as i do she tumbles in looking like a mess, her clothes look all scrunched up which is unlike the veronica that i know who only wears well ironed clothes, essentially she hates wrinkles, her face looks so blotchy like she's been crying for hours, and from what i can see she probably has, her face is all wet with tears and her mascara is seriously running, it's best to say she looks like an evil spirit out of a horror movie. she's now laying on the floor of my apartment sobbing uncontrollably,

　　"vee, vee, talk to me, whats wrong?"

　　"bemmy" i hear her say through her loud sobs, which can practically be described as wailing at this point, but i don't really hear what she's saying

　　"vee calm down, what are you saying?"

　　"benny!" she shouts out this time, benny is her fiancee they're getting married in two months, i hope he's alright.

　　"benny?, what happened to him? is he alright? did something happen? talk to me vee, what's wrong?"

　　she doesn't answer me, all she does is continue sobbing uncontrollably, i quickly close my apartment door and sit on the floor next to her, and i just hold her. This always worked when we were children, vee would come to me crying and would not tell me what was wrong no matter how many times i asked, but after holding her for a while she would sing like a canary.

　　After 10 minuites she appears calmer although she is still crying silently, i can't wait to hear what's wrong, at this point i'm worried beacause i've never seen vee looking this devastated.

　　"come on vee, whats wrong? what happened to benny?"

　　"nothing happened to benny" she replies between sobs

　　"then what's wrong?"

　　"he cheated!"

　　"say what now!?, what the fuck did you just say?"

　　"he cheated drea, he cheated on me...becks was right about him, about everything, i should have listened to her, it's my fault"

　　"no vee! no! don't you say that, it's not your fault that he's a he-goat who can't keep it in his pants" she's looking down at the floor as if she feels ashamed

　　"hey vee! look at me" she looks up from the floor and that's when i see it, the vulnerability in her eyes that feeling of never being good enough

　　"we're gonna show him that nobody cheats on veronica de luca and gets away with it"

　　"how?"

　　"oh just leave that to me, now get up from the floor, oh my God look at you, go get cleaned up"

　　i help her up from the floor and head in the direction of my room, when we get there i get her into the bathroom to clean up, while she's at it i devise a plan of action that goes like

　　1

get out of these pyjamas

　　2

get dressed for war

　　3

get coffee because i need a booster, and i'll probably add a little vodka in to get me pumped up for the shit i'm about to do

　　4

call becks, she's my most devious friend, she'll know what evil shit we can do to benny FYI rebecca gomez is another childhood friend.

　　I call becks first, afterall i was never good with lists, oh well. Becks picks up on the second ring

　　"drea, mi chica, what's up why you calling me this early?"

　　"sorry babe, but we've got a situation"

　　"what kind of situation?"

　　"well vee came to my apartment minuites ago crying and..."

　　"what?! tell me who i need to kill"

　　"slow down becks i don't think killing will be necessary"

　　"oooh somebody made mi chica cry, i assure you killing is necessary, tell me who it is"

　　"no becks, not over the phone just come over to my place if you can"

　　"i'm on my way" i hear the rustling of clothing through the phone, it wouldn't suprise me if she were dressed already, she's fast that way.

　　"hey drea you do know that i'm gonna have to kill somebody right?"

　　"my God becks! you don't even know what happenned, just get here"

　　i end the call and drop the phone on my bed, at this point i genuinely fear for benny's life, cause with becks involved he's gonna have a pretty bad life from now on.

　　I can hear the sound of flushing coming from the bathroom, i think vee is done, after two minuites she steps out of the bathroom looking better, she has cleaned herself up, she washed her face so her face is makeup free although her face is a little blotchy, her clothes are a little wrinkled though but nothing can be done for that.

　　she looks better now

　　"who was that on the phone?"

　　"just becks"

　　"what!!? drea!, oh God she's gonna make benny's life a living hell!"

　　"yes yes that's the plan, he deserves every second of it"

　　"now come over here" i pull her in for a hug
