The Back Stabbers

Hi, my name is Amber, I cannot believe it here is another birthday celebration, I’m finally 25 years old and I wish the year never moved on. I cannot believe that I have to sit here and pretend to be happy and celebrate with the people that have officially stabbed me in the back.


Here they are sitting here pretending to be my best friends when one of these people, I wish I knew but I truly have no idea who killed my fiancee the night of our wedding 6 months ago. But today will be the day that I confront them and end this once and for all, while tapping my purse to the right of me.


“Amber, cannot believe you are officially 25 years old! I heard that is the age that your brain finally matures. Is that true, tell us everything?” exclaimed Hannah. From across the table while jumping out of her seat.


“Well, Hannah. It does seem that your brain matures at 25 years old, because it is coincidentally when I decided that I can no longer pretend to be friends anymore.” pointedly stated Amber.


“Amber, what are you talking about? We have all be best friends for over 20 years. What are you meaning ‘pretending’?” concerned Brittany from 2 seat away from me.


While, Jordan holding a shared weary look with Adam next to her while having a fake concerned look toward me.


“While, it looks like Jordan and Adam have something they would like to share with the group.” Amber accused.


“Wha- What? are you talking about, Amber?” Jordan stuttered.


“Amber, are you feeling okay? If something is bothering you, you can tell us. We know it must be hard. Your first birthday without Jacob.” Adam said grabbing Amber’s hand.


Hannah bursted out of her seat, screaming, “JORDAN, ADAM WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO ON ABOUT? We all know you two have been sneaking off for the past 6 months hiding something. Spill now!”


“FUCK! How long has everyone known. Amber, Hannah, before you guys overreacted maybe we should leave.” Jordan saying weary while standing up pulling Adam with her.


Brittany blocks the exit, “No one is leaving until we all have answers. NOW!” forcefully started Brittany.


“Well, hell. Jordan and I are the reason the wedding never happened. Jordan tried to get Jacob to sleep with her to break off the engagement but it didn’t work. So we slept together, hoping to would make Amber and Jacob jealous enough to break up. So Jordan could move in on Jacob and finally me and Amber could be together.” rambled Adam.


Jordan makes a quick move for the exit followed by Adam to be stopped by everyone, a gun in Amber’s hand.


“You guys are going no where, I cannot have people in my life that is going to stab me in the back.” Amber stated, while pointing the gun at Jordan and Adam pulling the trigger.
