light the corners of our minds

misty water colored memories

of the way we were

She poured herself and Eve a cup of coffee and sat down she sipped the coffee to test if it was too hot to gulp.

'Maria, I don't know what to say...' Eve told her placing her coffee on the crystal clean coffee table.

'Then please... say nothing at all. It's hard for me.'

'I'm sorry,' Eve said 'It's just I'm speechless I don't know how you've kept it in for so long.'

Maria sat there looking into what seemed like space, life seemed so worthless, so, different.

'He was a nasty guy,' Eve reassured her placing her hand on Maria's shoulder 'Stop feeling down!'

Maria shook her head and shrugged off Eve's hand from of her shoulder.

'I'm not feeling "down" as you like to put it, but I'm not feeling up either, I don't know WHAT to feel."

Eve looked down to her feet and noticed a picture underneath the sofa she went down to pick it up but Maria stopped her, Eve still carried on picking it up. It was a picture of Maria and Randy. Eve looked shocked, Randy was her ex. She was hurt, even though they may have not been together anymore she still loved him, she still had feelings for him. She still thought about him. She still had to see him in the locker room and pretend everything was fine.

'What's going on?' Eve asked her quite hurt.

'It's me and Randy...' Maria said with a mysterious voice.

'What's it doing here? What's going on? Are you two in a relation..'

Maria stopped her and interrupted 'I wanted to tell you, I really, really did! He made me promise not too though! He MADE me promise!' Maria pleaded.

'NO! You knew my feelings for Randy.. I told you, I told you and I told you - I thought you where my TRUE friend...'

She picked up her coat and picked up her bag and left. Maria buried her head in her hands. Her mobile phone rang and she ran to it hoping it was Eve. It was Randy.

'Hey baby,' He said.

'Hi.' Maria said her voice was flat.

'Maria, baby, what's up?'

'Me and Eve, she was just round and she found a picture of us under the sofa.. I tried to hide it,' She said 'I tried to stop her.'

'But, I thought she didn't care for me anymore...'

'Well it seems she did,' She told him.

'I'm coming home,' He said quite stern 'I don't care about this stupid bachelor party - I need to know what's happened word... by... word!'

'But what about John, I thought you'd want to be there for him he is your best friend.'

The phone cut off. She sat they're wondering, wondering why she'd done it why she could've been so stupid - why she had done it. She picked up her magazine and read trying to take her mind off things...

They key turned in the lock. Maria quickly got up and went to greet him. She threw her hands round his neck. He hugged his arms around her hips and kissed her cheek.

'So tell me, what happened, what did she do, is she OK!?'

'Why do you CARE so much about her? You're with me now, forget about her just like she should've forgotten about you... I'm her friend but, I think it's time for you both to move on!'

'Of course I still have feelings for her...' He said 'OK fine, we will, how should we go about making me "move on"'

'Easy, we'll move.'
