“I saw the whole thing.” Marianna hissed. She crawled back in her bed. The sheets crumpled and shifted under her. Bella crawled closer.

“Look. I-I didn’t mean for that to happen. You know what kind of an influence Alondra and Presley have on me! Plus- she had hit Presley!” Bella placed a comforting hand on Marianna’s knee.

She smacked it off. “Don’t touch me! I don’t care what they did! I don’t care what Skye did! You have no fucking excuse to kill her!” Marianna jolted a finger in Bella’s direction.

Bella’s expression turned sour, hurt almost. “You had no reason to. She was just trying to not lose anyone else on her team. For Kameka’s sake- she was in shock, if anything!” Marianna had tried to explain.

“Look- I’m sorry.” Bella frowned. Water lined the bottoms of her eyes. She blinked slowly, a tear flowing down her cheek. Marianna scoffed angrily. “Don’t even try the crocodile tears on me, Bella!” She shook her head, looking away.

“You killed her! Some girl! You didn’t even know her..” Marianna had retracted away too, holding her knees clost to her chest. Tears had fallen out of her own eyes.

Bella wiped her eyes. “You’re being so sensitive! Marianna..” Bella grabbed Marianna’s chin. “Please. If I hadn’t killed her, Presley would be dead-“ She had begun, before Marianna grabbed her wrist, quickly loosening the grip on her chin and pulling it away.

“You listen here!” Marianna screeched, shaking Bella’s wrist. “This game is a fucking hell hole. People are dying left and right- yes I’m going to be sensitive! I’m not used to being in what feels like an active war zone!”

Marianna sucked in her breath. “Now. Get out of my bed. I’m not arguing about this anymore. Sleep with the thought of Skye in your head. Maybe when you wake up, you can continue to ride Presley’s dick!” She pushed Bella off her bed and onto the dirty tile floor.

Marianna grabbed her hard pillow, stuffing it into her face as she sobbed into it. Bella got up, scowling. “Fuck you.” She mumbled, shaking her head and walking away.
