"Darien, I love you."
"May,"
"Yes Darien?"
"Please don't say what you don't mean."
"…uh…" sighs
10:56pm. Mays bedroom – on the bed – Forks, Washington
"…uh…What did I do?"
"Just please don't."
He leans up and kisses May on the forehead. "Goodnight my love."
"Goodnight?"
"I have to go."
May gets up and walks to her window with tears in her eyes.
"May? What's wrong?"
"Nothing just please go."
He walks out of the room.
For several days she doesn't see him until Tuesday.
3:12pm. Outside of Mays home – In the yard.
Darien drives up and gets out of his car.
"Hey May."
"Darien, YOU'RE HERE!"
May runs up to him and kisses him three times then she jumps into his arms and he holds her there for several minutes. He stares into her eyes for a while.
"Where have you been?" She whispers.
"I…I…had to go do some thinking. I am so sorry to keep you waiting."
"Oh…"
"May, we need to talk."
"Why, about what?"
"Cole… but before you say anything just trust me."
"Ok…when?"
"We just do, now."
Darien walks to his car and May follows. He opens the passenger door for her, she gets in and so does he then they drive off towards Seattle.
In the car
"Well Darien, what is it?"
"I went to his house, May."
"What did you do?!"
"Calm down May, we just had a manly talk."
"Oh no." sighs
She leans her head back on the seat.
"We just talked honey, we actually apologized to each other."
"Sure. What did you do, chop his head off?"
"No, no. I wish." grunts
"Darien!"
"Not really."
May looks out the window in total silence for several minutes.
"May?"
"Yes Darien?"
"I just don't like what he did to you. You know I could kill him, right?"
"I know. I'm not mad. Where are we going?"
Darien grabs her hand. They star at each other for moments. He stops the car and pulls over and kisses her for a long moment. A tear rolles down her cheek. Darien leans back and wipes her cheek with his thumb. He stares at her and sees all the confusion and hurt in her eyes. Then he kisses her again. With his other hand he grabs her neck. His hand slowl went up to her head and plays with her hair. He slowly pulls away from her face.
"May, I love you." He whispers.
She grabs his face and kisses him and pulls away again.
"Darien, please don't say what you don't mean." She says with a sarcastic tone.
He pulls back on th ehighway and from then untill they get to Seattle was total silence.
