| Scott: "What did you do to her? I yelled as I shoved J off the bus. "What?" he replied, trying to catch his balance. "What the hell did you do to Rease?!" I said angrily. "What are you talking about?" I grunted, "Don't play dumb, what did you do to make her cry?" He just looked at me, "She's crying? I..I would never..." "Did you dump her? Was she not good enough for you?" "What are you talking about I-" he stammered. I cut him off "It wasn't enough for you, was it? It wasn't enough that the girl I loved, loved you, and you broke her heart didn't you? Because you don't love her" he stared at his feet, "No...I love her...but I don't know what you mean-" "You know exactly what you mean. Drop the act, J. I know about you two, how you've been dating in secret" He gave me a confused look, "What are you talking about? Teresa and I...we haven't-" "Give it up J, I saw you two in the recording studio a while back" He began talking rapidly, "No you've got it all wrong I was just-" "I don't want to hear it, you can see just by looking at you two what's going on. I'm surprised I hadn't seen it before" I said bitterly. J: "There's nothing between Teresa and I, not like that" I said painfully. "Oh come off it! Teresa is obviously infatuated with you! Why else would she cry?" Scott yelled at me. I felt myself getting angry and I replied through gritted teeth, "Are you really that blind?" "What do you mean by that?" he shot back. "Are you that blind that you cannot see that Teresa has been in love with you this whole time!?" I yelled. He stood for a section, blank-faced then replied, "I saw you...I saw you holding her when she was crying and you-" I interupted him, "Did you ever stop to think why she needed holding?" "I didn't have to, I heard Teresa, saying that she didn't want anybody to find out and that she thought she loved you" I stared at him, amazed at his ignorance. "You weren't listening close enough." I said flatly. "What do you mean?" he asked suspiciously. "I found Teresa crying by herself that day. She was crying over you. She confided in me that she was falling in love with you" "But..but she said-" he stammered. "Well it doesn't matter much now does it? I fell for Teresa, but she still loves you and you've got a nice little money lovin' slut...it kills Teresa watching you two and it kills me to see the tears form in her eyes over a guy like you" I said the last words bitterly. "A guy like me?" he questioned. "You know, the type who lives for whores, like that Emma girl you brought" "I was drunk and..she said she'd make Teresa jealous...I was so mad you..." "You're with Emma just to make Teresa jealous?!?" I screamed at him. "If you would just open your eyes you'd see that the reason she's crying is because she wants you!" He stared into space, "what am I gonna do? I ruined it...it's over" Even though I had feelings for Teresa, I couldn't let Scott give up, "It's not over." I said quietly. "Just because I fell for her doesn't mean she fell for me." he looked at me, "What should I do?" I smiled in spite on myself, "She's been falling for you forever-go catch her" Chapter Eight... |
