I sit alone in the corner watching the hustle and bustle going on around me. Never knowing what to expect. Hopefully everyone will just leave me alone. When he entered the room, I knew that wasn't going to happen. Sure enough, hs heads towards me. I sat there thinking, "Why does he insist on torturing me? Can't he just leave me alone?" Never the less, he parks his carcass next to me. I look over and said, "What do you want Paul?" He said, "Look I don't want to upset you, but John's looking for you. Sad he wants to apologize. " I said, "I guess that's my cue to leave!" Paul said, "Why don't you just talk to him?" I said, "Paul, you know why. You of all people should understand. You're in the same situation I'm in, They slept together. How can I talk to him after that. He hurt me and Steph was my best friend. That's unforgiveable." He said, "I agree what they did was wrong, but you need to talk to him. If youre angry you need to tell him. Let him know how you feel." I looked at Paul, "Well, Mr. Levesque, have you actually talked to Steph about how bad your hurting and not wanting to let anyone know. I know how you feel Paul, but I can't put myself through that pain right now. John doesn't deserve my understanding, or for me to eve listen to him. And, I don't even want to think about talking to Steph. I know you lvoe her, but I'm telling you right now, if she comes up to me, Paul, I swear, I will hurt her." Paul said, "Yeah Am, it hurts and I completely understand where your coming from. She has ripped my heart out and stomped on it. I will never be with her
again, but I have talked to her. She knows we're over." I walked over and hugged him and told him that if he needed me to call me and that's I was going to the hotel. On my way out who do I run into but none other than Steph. She tried to talk to me, but I just give her a go to hell look and keep walking. Once in my car, I lvet the tears that have threatened to fall go. John doesn't realize how bad he's hurt me, and if I have my way, he never will. All of a sudden there is a knock on lmy window. I look over and there stands Paul. I roll my window down and ask him whats was up? He said, "I just wanted to see if you were alright, and from the looks of it, you're not. Do you want me to go with you to the hotel, sor you're not alone." I looked at him, and said,"Paul, do you want to go with me?" He said, "Am, I just want you to be ok." I said, "I will be ok Paul, its just gonna take some time. He did the unthinkable and right now the hurt is still fresh." He said," I know what you mean. Steph and I were together for 3 years, and then she sleeps with John. I was even thinging about proposing. Thank god I didn't." By that time we had reached my hotel and were in the elevator. I said, "Paul, what am I gonna do? It hurts so bad, and I still love him, but I'm so angry. I don't think I will ever be able to look at him the same way!" Paul pulled me into his arms and let me cry. He said, " I unserstand how you feel. If you need me, you know where I'm at. I will always be there for you." "I will always be there for you too Paul." I said. He hugged me again and the elevator door opened and who would be
there but none other than John and Steph together, in each others arms. Paul just kept his arm around me and we walked out of the elevator together. John and Steph just looked at us with hurt expressions on their faces. We know they thought we were together, but we didn't care. They hurt us so turn abouts fair play. When we got to my door, he hugged me and kissed my foreheadand told me he would see me the next day.
