Day 3 - Part 9

Cara walked trough the crowd. Doomed. It was just doomed. Guards wouldn�t let them even hang near the building. And what would have been just to be with other fans? It wasn�t something she was used to. She didn�t know that world. It wasn�t like she wanted to see even a glimpse of the guys. It was the fact that mood was desperate because of the situation. Cara had told girls that at least they would get to the concert but it didn�t seem to comfort them a lot.
-Could you be just a bit more bitch? she heard asking but didn�t turn back. So if she had to use force to get out from there? Damn Tom, wouldn�t take her to car. And she had no time to follow it either. The she saw her. There was a woman sitting on the ground, crying. Cara looked at her for a minute and tried to think what it would be like to get so hysterical over some strangers. She couldn�t. So she went to her and gave her a Kleenex. Woman seemed really desperate, so she carefully asked if she could do something for her. But woman just shook her head. And Cara went on.

-That�s how I first met Anna, she says. Pablo has served us fast, we are eating our starters. Looking strange but tasting good. -I didn�t know that then. And I guess I didn�t ever told her either.
-Isn�t it strange how you can meet someone totally by accident? Who knows what it did to her life.
-Everything affects on everything, don�t you think?
-More you tell, more I believe. But you didn�t describe Greg to me yet?
-Don�t you ever learn?
She smiles and changes the subject again.

Kevin went to his wife and kissed her. But for his amazement she backed away.
-Is there something wrong? Kevin asked. -Did you get the results? What did doctor said? Are you ok?
Kristin looked at her husband and then turned her head quickly away.
-I�m sorry, she said. -I have chlamydia.
-You have what? Kevin was stunned.
-I have chlamydia.
-But...
-It can be hidden for a long time. I know we both have been tested but...
-We used condom.
-Yeah, like five years ago, Kristin said. But then she looked at Kevin. -What are you talking about?
-Nothing.
-Kevin. What is going on?
-I�m just confused.
-Well, so am I! Doctor said that it�s almost impossible not notice this kind of disease by the tests we took. Tests I take every six months. Tests you take every six months. And I know I have been nothing but loyal to you. So is there something you need to tell me?
Kristin�s face warped because of tears and she could barely finish her sentence. Kevin�s face was like a rock. And longer Kristin stared him, more she was scared.
-Kevin?
His eyes met hers.
-I�m sorry.
Slowly Kevin turned and walked out of the room. Kristin looked where he had disappeared and then fell to the floor crying her mouth open but without a sound.

-Kevin? Kevin where are you going? Billy ran after Kevin in the hotel. -You have to stop right now and wait for me to call more people over here. Do you listen to me? Kevin! You can�t just walk away from me like this! It�s too dangerous! Damn you.
Kevin just kept going. With his long feet he took long, calm steps. He just wanted to get away. He wanted to get away from his nightmare. He never meant to hurt Kristin. Never. She didn�t need to know. Because he was still in love with her. His wife, not some groupie.
Girls heard Billy�s voice. They couldn�t keep them away from the hotel, not as long as they had a room there. They were two floors down from Boys, who always took elevators straight up and down. So it was useless to be there under those circumstances. But they had already paid the room so they stayed there even if it was way too expensive to them at that time.
Peach looked at Pie. Cara looked at Pie. In seconds they were in the hall. Just in time to see Kevin coming around the corner.
-Kevin! Stop! Just stop! Billy yelled behind him. And when Kevin saw girls, he stopped.

She stares out of the window. I�m just about to ask her to continue when Pablo brings our lunch.
-Bon appetit! he says and she smiles to him gratefully.
-Merci.
-That was French, I remark when Pablo has gone back to kitchen.
-So what?
-Nothing. How was Kevin when you saw him?
-It was awful, she says quietly. -He was outrageous, like gone mad or something. He came to us, closer and closer. We backed so much we were against the wall. Billy had came and he was standing next to Kevin, telling him not to touch us or hurt us.
-Why didn�t he just take him away? I ask.
-Because we weren�t only one there. He didn�t want to use force. He did everything not to make it into scene.
-Wasn�t it already?
-Maybe. I can�t think clearly about it.
-Just tell me what you remember.

Cara looked to her side and saw horror in Pie�s eyes. And anger in Kevin�s.
-Please, do not hurt her, Peach asked quietly as it was clear that Kevin was after Pie. He pushed his finger to her shoulder, so that she couldn�t move. Kevin put his another hand against the wall. His face was just inches from Pie�s. In other situation it would have looked romantic. Then it was just scary.
-You, Kevin whispered. -You...
-Don�t hurt her, Peach begged.
-Do you have any idea what you did? Kevin asked from Pie who considered best not to answer.
-I don�t want to see you ever again!
Kevin�s words were so strong he almost spitted on her face.
-Not ever. Not in here, not anywhere. I don�t care how dedicated fan you are, but I don�t want to see you EVER again. I suggest you fuck off as far as you can.
-Kevin, let it go, Billy said and put his hand on Kevin�s shoulder. But he waved it off. Billy took his phone and called for help.
-You go, and take you friends with you. You are nothing but bitch. And what happened to the one... It was justice. Just pure justice.
Pie couldn�t control herself. She knew she deserved every word coming from Kevin. He didn�t need to be reminded that he hadn�t rejected her as he should have. But when he mentioned Ophelia. When he insinuated that Ophelia had deserved to be raped, anger grew inside her.
-Shut the fuck up! Shut up! she screamed and started to punch Kevin. -You have no right to say that! It wasn�t any fucking justice! It was wrong and you know it. What happened between us could have been wrong, oh bad me for seducing you, but she didn�t deserve it! She was raped! Raped! You understand?!?
Kevin tried to hold scratching Pie away from him. Billy couldn�t help because he was holding Peach who tried to rescue Pie. Cara leaned to the wall, stood there quiet, doing nothing as others fought. Then Louis and JK were there.
-What is going on? Louis asked.
-Just take her, Billy said. -And you take Kevin away, he continued to JK. Guys tried to separate them but it was hard. After few minutes they managed to do that.
-Just go upstairs, we�ll handle this, Billy said and Kevin was taken away. -Calm down.
Peach struggled to get away.
-Calm down and I�ll let go of you.
Peach gave up and Billy released her as Louis had already done to Pie. She had flown down the floor, crouched, leaning her head to her hands, crying. Peach kneeled next to her.
-Pie... Pie. Listen to me. It�s allright. Everything is fine. It�s gonna be just fine.
Billy, Louis and Cara stood there watching down on them.
-How is it going to be allright? Cara asked. -How do you think it�s ever gonna be allright?
-Don�t say so! Peach ordered. -You can�t say so! It�s going to be fine. It�s going to work out. At least we�ll stay together.

-What I didn�t understand then was that she meant just two of those. I guess it was hard for Peach. Then, trough all that horrible that just happened, she knew that she could keep her. That she didn�t have to worry about Kevin one day just calling her to him and see her going.
-This was first time you questioned something in your story, I point out.
-You�re right. Because it was different Be-Bob saying that we couldn�t hang out with them than Kevin saying he didn�t want to see us ever again.
-But you did.
-Yeah, we didn�t believe anything easily.
-And Kevin and Kristin stayed together?
-Not really. Their divorce started from that day.
-But you stayed together?
-For a while. Just for a while.
