#Chapter 175: Unknown Betrayal

I felt numb as James drove us away from the party. My anger and confusion had morphed into disbelief. I didn't even feel like I was living my own reality. James and I had been quiet for the last five minutes. We've been digesting our feelings in the silence. Knowing that the people closest to you could hurt you so brutally and recklessly felt dangerous. I gave Lucas parts of me that nobody had ever seen before. I'd shared things with him that meant something to me, and he just went behind my back. I think what hurt the most was that Lucas was doing it willingly, knowing that there was a possibility I would find out. My brain just couldn't process the fact that Lucas would do this to me. Glancing at James, it felt weird to see him without his normal cheerful smile. I hated that they had done that to him. He looked like he was depleted of any joy, and I missed hearing his constant annoying and obnoxious jokes. How could Lucas and Victoria betray us like this? Did they even care?
