Candy walked through the co-ed gym like she owned the place. She was Becca's best friend, so of course when she'd heard that Zecca was having trouble, she was going to do something about it. She'd caught the tail end of Zack's gym bag disappear through the door to the men's locker room. So few men were even out on the machines, so she doubted there was anyone but him in the room. Even better, she thought as she walked back towards the off limits area. Ignoring the "men only" sign, she pushed the door open just as Zack was covering up with a towel.
"Hey!" was his immediate response when he heard the door open and saw the scantly clad bestie of his girlfriend walk through the door.
"Don't hey me!" she snapped back as quickly as he'd gotten the word out. She walked up to him shamelessly and jabbed her finger into his chest. "What the hell's wrong with you? Becca's been on double shifts three times this week and you couldn't even send her a smiley face? Seriously?! You're her boyfriend!! The least you could do is text her!!"
Zack only chuckled in response to it. He caught her wrist as she tried to jab her finger into his chest again and laughed, "Candy, c'mon. Becca could have texted me too. We're both busy! It's just how things are right now. It's cool." Then he turned his back to her and stuffed his gym shirt back into the locker, pulling out his shower stuff and a towel. "Gotta put this on pause for a minute, I need a shower."

"Gotta put this on pause for a minute, I need a shower."
Candy narrowed her eyes. The way he laughed things off really struck a nerve inside her. Coldly she crossed her arms "You know she's drinking again?"
He stopped at that. She watched him as the words sunk in, then he slowly turned back and he sighed heavily. "She said she stopped that..." Candy just scoffed at him.
"Spare me. If you didn't realize something was going on you're the world's biggest idiot. And if you did and you're lying right now, you're as bad as she is. Worse even!"
But Zack cut her off before she could finish anything else she tried to say. He whipped around to face her fully and snapped, "Candy! I know! But God's sake, gimme a break! I haven't even seen her in like a week, how could I have known?!"
Candy could only sigh, "Zack, everyone knows you mean well. But honestly, if you were really that worried about her you would have made an effort. Fact is, you say you love her, but you're treating this whole relationship like she's holiday only family. Face it. She deserves better." And with that, she left. She had nothing more to say and she wasn't in the mood to hear anything else he had to say. She was done.
