"Candice, can you give us a moment?" my mom, asked, her voice calm but firm. Candice nodded slowly, casting a worried glance in my direction before slipping out to the backyard. The door swung shut behind her, and suddenly the kitchen felt even more claustrophobic.
Once Candice was out of earshot, I turned my full attention to Elizabeth. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I spat, my voice low and seething. "How dare you insult Candice like that? She's done nothing to you."
Elizabeth shrugged, trying to act unfazed, but I could see the flicker of defensiveness in her eyes. "Oh please, Y/N. I didn't insult her; I just said what everyone else is thinking."
"Everyone else?" I shot back. "You think everyone feels the same way you do? Newsflash: they don't. Candice has worked hard to get where she is, and she has been NOTHING but nice to you! I didn't have anything to say to you, that's why I didn't talk! but you attacking Candice fucking did it! You want to call her names and accuse her of shit? Fine! But I get to remind you how you whored yourself out over and over again to shitty indie movie directors! You are a fucking hypocrite Elizabeth!"
"That's rich coming from you!" Elizabeth snapped, her voice rising too."You cut everyone out of your life the second you thought you could make it big. How is that any different from what I did?"
"You know damn well how it's different!" I shouted, unable to hold back my anger. "I did what I did because I was hurt. You cheated on me, remember? You broke my heart, and now you want to sit here and act like you're the victim?"
She opened her mouth to respond, but I didn't give her the chance. "You don't get to drag Candice into this. She's my fiancée, and she deserves better than to hear your pathetic attempts to undermine her. you have a fucking problem with me, yell at me, DO NOT bring my girl into this!"
Just then, my dad stepped into the room, and I could see the tension in his shoulders. "What's going on in here? Why the fuck are you two dumbasses yelling?!" he asked, his voice steady and serious.
I turned to him, my frustration spilling over. " Elizabeth just started insulting Candice out of nowhere. She thinks she can just say whatever she wants and it'll be fine!"
"Elizabeth," he said, shifting his gaze to her. "Is that true?"
"Y/N is exaggerating," Elizabeth replied, her voice defensive. "I just told her the truth."
"Truth or not, you don't get to insult my daughter's fiancée!" Dad said, his tone sharp. "You will apologize to Candice, and you will do it now."
I felt a surge of pride at Dad standing up for Candice, but Elizabeth crossed her arms defiantly. "I'm not apologizing for speaking my mind."
My dad grabbed the glass of water that was on the table and threw it at the wall that was behind Elizabeth and I, making the glass shatter. 
" I AM DONE WITH YOU TWO ACTING LIKE FUCKING CHILDREN! IM TRYING TO WATCH MY GODDAMN GAME AND YOU TWO KEEP BITCHING AND ACTING LIKE SPOILED BRATS! YOU WILL BOTH SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND TALK! YOU WILL APOLOGISE TO CANDICE, ELIZABETH AND THIS SITUATION WILL BE OVER ONCE AND FOR ALL! UNDERSTOOD?!" He yelled and Elizabeth and I nodded and we sat down.
My mother and Jarnie stepped outside to check on Candice and give Elizabeth and I some privacy and my dad grabbed another beer from the fridge. " TALK NOW!" 
I looked at Elizabeth and shook my head " You are such a petty, jealous bitch, you really can't see me be happy without you... can you Elizabeth? You fuck yo, you cheat on me, and yet for some mysterious reason you think you have the RIGHT to call my fiancee a whore"
She frowned " I never called a whore"
" But you did! You fucking did! You insulted her and you insulted me, why? What has Candice ever done to you? What have I ever done to you? You are the one that cheated Elizabeth, you were the whore who couldn't keep her legs closed!"
" BUT YOU WERE THE ONE THAT LEFT Y/N! YOU LEFT ME!"
She said alligator tears forming in her eyes
" What did you think I would do? Sit and watch as he came in you? Talk to you and reason and beg you to not do it again?! You made a choice, and I made mine, YOU CHOSE TO CHEAT ON ME, and I chose to leave because I deserve better than someone like you!" 
" SO YOU CHOSE HER?! with all the people on the world, with all the models you could have picked you picked the one person you had sworn you would never date?!"
I started laughing " so it's my fault now? It's my fault that I met Candice and fell in love with her? What the fuck do you think happened? That I went out and I decided to date her, and fall in love with her and get engaged so that one day I could throw it in your face? because I didn't! To be honest, after that night in your dorm you weren't even a fuckinf afterthought Elizabeth! I didn't give the slightest fuck about you after that night! To be honest you could drop dead right now and I wouldn't bat an eye!" I said and my dad looked at me. 
" easy Y/N..." he warned and I let out a deep breath.
" You are not the centre of the universe Olsen."
" I WAS YOUR GIRLFRIEND Y/N!" She snapped 
" and I made a mistake!" she exclaimed, her voice rising again. "And yes, I regret it! But you LEFT me and you didn't even hear me out!"
" what were you going to say? Oops we were talking and then he fell and his dick ended up inside me?"
Elizabeth's eyes flashed with anger. "You're so self-righteous, Y/N! You act like you never made a mistake! Like you never fucked up!"
" I never did! Not like that! I never mistakenly cheated on the person I was supposed to love Elizabeth! I never insulted a woman that was nothing but kind to me! Which again, what's your fucking problem with Candice?" 
" SHE MAKES ME INSECURE OKAY?! SHES A FUCKING VICTORIA SECRET MODEL! She's perfection itself! And that's all you guys talk about all the fucking time. How perfect Candice is, how amazing she is as a fiancée, how she's the best thing that ever happened to you, how you can't wait to marry her! That makes me feel like shit! Because I was supposed to be Candice, and yes! I fucked up! I cheated on you and I'm sorry! But you have no idea of how humiliating it is to sit here and hear everyone go on and on and on about how perfect your life is now that I'm not in it! In less than four years you moved on, you are dating and you are engaged! You know how shitty that feels?"
I shook my head " And that's a reason for you to insult her that way? To call her a whore? To call her a blonde bimbo? You don't get to hurt people just because you are hurt Elizabeth, and yes, I did some things too that I shouldn't, I yelled at you and I threaten you, and I'm sorry for that. But don't think for a second that you are a victim here, you attacked Candice. Not the other way around. And you can be mad all you want that I moved on, that doesn't give you the right to do what you did." 
I got up from my seat " But I'm going to be crystal clear Elizabeth, you need to grow the fuck up and get your head out of your own ass, you need to stop acting like you never do anything wrong, and you need to stop acting like the world owns you something just because you are an Olsen, you don't, I don't own you anything anymore. As far as I'm concerned this is the last time I ever want to see you, I would say that you should apologise to Candice but I genuinely don't think you are capable of remorse."
