When Life Gives You Lemons

"Wow! That was harsh. It's like having the best party in Equestria crashed," Pinkie Pie sat down another glass of chocolate milk in front of me.
"I mean...what did I ever do to her? I love her to death, but then she goes and does that with Scootaloo." I looked down at the table of empty milk glasses, tears running down my cheeks, "It's just not fair."
"Apple Bloom, I know it's rough, trust me. When ever me and Rainbow Dash were together, she ended up cheating on me with Fluttershy. It tore me apart, but I managed to look past it and tell myself, 'Hey, it wasn't my fault. If I'm not good enough for her, then maybe I shouldn't be with her.' Do you get what saying?"
I sat the empty milk glass on the table and waved my hoof for Pinkie Pie to pour more, "Not really."
Pinkie Pie poured the rest of the milk into the glass, "Look, drinking yourself sick isn't going to help anything. You need to go back over there and have a talk with her."
"Why should I-"
The door swung open and I turned to see who it was. It was Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They were both staring at me with fear filled eyes. They walked over to the table I was sitting at and sat down across from me.
"What do you want?"
Sweetie Belle looked down to the ground, "I-I just wanted to talk...about...you know, what happened."
I sat my empty milk glass on the table. I looked over at Sweetie Belle, "Look, Sweetie Belle, I'm sorry about hitting you. I was just really mad about what you had done."
"I'm the one who should be sorry. I went and did those things with Scootaloo that I know I shouldn't have been doing. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help myself. It was kind of a...heat of the moment situation."
Scootaloo's face flushed red and she turned away, "Sweetie Belle, you didn't have to mention that."
Inside my stomach was twisting and turning with emotions. I was still mad about what Sweetie Belle had done. But, I wasn't sure how to make it right between us. My stomach starting hurting and my face started turning green.
Sweetie Belle looked back up at me, "Apple Bloom? Are you alright?"
I got up from my seat and rushed towards the bathroom. I bent over the toilet and let loose what was killing my stomach. Pinkie Pie was right; drinking myself sick didn't help anything. I wiped a little bit of vomit off of my mouth and washed my hooves.
There was a knock at the door, "Apple Bloom?"
"I'm fine...Just a bit too much chocolate milk."
"Are you going to be alright?"
"Yeah...I think I'm-" I rushed back over to the toilet and let the flood gates open once again.
I finally came out of the bathroom and saw Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo standing outside the door waiting for me. I looked over at Sweetie Belle, my face instantly filling with guilt, "Sweetie Belle, I'm really sorry."
"Me too."
Scootaloo let out a sigh, "Me three."
I scraped my hoof against the floor a couple of times, "Sweetie Belle?"
She looked at me, concern deep in her eyes, "Yeah?"
"I think...it would be best if we...started seeing other ponies for a while."
Tears began to fill Sweetie Belle's eyes, "But-"
"It's for the best. I think we need a break for a little while right now. That doesn't mean that we can't still be friends during that time."
Tears starting rolling down Sweetie Belle's face and she raced out of Sugar Cube Corner. Scootaloo looked at me for a second and then started racing off after Sweetie Belle. I let out a long sigh and went back to my table. I sat down and looked over at Pinkie Pie, "Hit me again."
