The sun peeked through the blinds, hitting his face as he began to yawn. His eyes fluttered open and he looked up at the white ceiling. It was times like this he wished he had work so he wouldn't have to think about the events that occurred last night. Randy rolled out of his bed and fell onto the hardwood floor. He grabbed his pants and towel before he entered his bathroom. He turned on the steam control in his shower and stood there with a towel wrapped around his waist. What can he say? He was more depressed than ever. Michelle told Randy she was getting married to Christian. That news hit him hard and he felt like shit afterwards. He brought his hands down his face almost regretting what he did afterwards. Yell at her. Randy turned off the steam and stepped out of the shower. He grabbed his sweats and slipped them on before exiting his bathroom. He lived in a small beach house by the water, which was just 4 houses down from Michelle and Christian's huge one. Randy grabbed his phone and stepped out onto his deck. He looked out to the water where people were laying on towels in their bikinis and swim shorts. Suddenly he found himself staring at Michelle as she walked towards his house. He wanted to just go back inside and slam the door, hoping she'd get the hint but he didn't want to make it a bigger problem than it already was.
"Hey!" Michelle shouted, squinting to prevent the sun from hitting her eyes. When Randy didn't reply and merely stared at her she continued to walk faster. Finally climbing the steps she walked to where Randy was standing. "Can we talk?" she asked him.
"About?" he asked her back, looking away.
She sighed and leaned against the railings of the deck, looking over at him. "You need to stop getting mad at everything and everyone. Look Randy, you and I can never work out. Remember how we tried to be together for a year and it ended horribly? You need to get over me, already" she told him. Her medium length blonde hair hit her face as the wind blew. Randy peered over at her and scoffed. He was about to walk inside his house again when she mentioned something to him. "Kelly's coming tomorrow. A month earlier for my wedding…" she trailed off.
Randy froze where he was. His back was to Michelle and he took time to register what he heard. Kelly was coming back? He wasn't sure if he was able to handle that. How did Kelly look? Last time he saw her she was 18, with braces, and dirty blonde hair. Was he really going to see the girl he cheated on? He shook his head and walked into his house, leaving Michelle alone on the deck.
Kelly sat by the window side on the train with Eve sitting next to her. She decided to bring her best friend to her other best friend's wedding since Eve was still trying to look for a job. Kelly got the summer months off because she was a middle school teacher. She watched as trees, trees, and more trees pass by before looking over at Eve. "What are you reading?" Kelly asked.
Eve tore her brown eyes away from the book and smiled at Kelly, "Safe Haven. I'm dying to watch the movie after this" she said. Kelly smiled at her best friend and rested her head against the seat. She didn't want to go back there. No way. In fact she wished to turn this train around. Eve stared at Kelly and finally she asked the question Kelly was waiting for her to ask. "Why don't you want to go back? I mean it's your best friend's wedding. Your seeing your parents after 7 years, isn't this wonderful?" she asked.
Kelly smoothed out the little wrinkles on her short white and black polka dot strapless dress. She smiled to herself and shook her head. "It's not the same Eve. I left that place for the wrong reasons" she whispered.
"Like what?" Eve asked raising her eyebrows.
Kelly pulled her hand through her long curly blonde hair. She looked outside before speaking, "I guess I should let you know before you come there clueless," she started. She watched as Eve moved to sit across from Kelly, pulling her brown hair to one side of her head. Kelly sighed, "I dated this guy name Randy for 2 years. We even went into college together. But here's the plot twist Randy was never interested in me. I was head over heels for him. He liked partying nonstop, getting into street fights, and of course he hit on plenty of girls when we were together" she said softly.
Eve's mouth dropped and she placed a hand on her chest. "Oh god, he sounds like a jackass" she said genuinely.
Kelly nodded and looked down. "But I ignored everything he did because that's how crazy I was for him… until" she paused and took a deep breath before looking straight at Eve, "Until he cheated on me with Michelle" she said.
It took Eve awhile before she realized Michelle was the girl they were going to the wedding for. Her eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Are you kidding me? We're going to her wedding? You told me she was your best friend!" Eve practically yelled at Kelly.
Kelly gestured Eve to lower her voice as people began to stare at them. Eve crossed her arms against her chest and pulled in her eyebrows. Kelly licked her lips before she spoke again, "I forgot about it. Plus, Michelle's marrying Christian so I'm sure Randy's not even a part of her life. Let's just drop this okay? Don't mention any of this to Michelle. We're going to be staying at her guest house anyways" Kelly told Eve.
Eve shrugged and looked away angrily. If it was one thing she remembered about Kelly, it was the day Kelly became her roommate in college. After Kelly transferred, Eve never asked her why she came, instead she asked her about everything else. Hearing this new information threw her off and killed her mood.
I'm pretty excited for this story. REVIEW :)
