Chapter 1

"What was that with you and Dov?' Chris asked with a trembling voice, not sure whether he wanted to hear the answer. All he knows is that she and Dov looked way more than just friends in that police car. The bright lights from the lampposts of the 15th division parking lot where shining on Gail's blonde hair, almost white blonde hair.

"I haven't betrayed you Chris, Dov told me that he wished he was you" Gail said frustrated that Dov had put her relationship in jeopardy.

Chris had a hard time believing it, sure Dov and Gail were getting more close but it seemed so innocent. They were only playing video games together and Dov has a girlfriend so why would he? Chris was not sure of anything anymore, his girlfriend and his close friend (or so he thought) had more chemistry than he liked.

"Then why did you let him get so close to you?" Chris asked. Wondering if Gail liked Dov's attention.

"You wanted us to get along, so I tried to be friends with him. Now he declared his love to me , I do not love him or anything. Chris, I never asked for any of this"

"Is my attention not enough for you Gail? Will my affection ever satisfy you?" Chris asked, nothing seemed relevant anymore.

Gail was getting sick of Chris not trusting her and questioning everything. Funny, she thought. In the beginning of their relationship she was the one who had a hard time trusting anyone, including Chris and know the tables have turned. Against her wishes. "Don't you see it Chris? It is not about your affection it is about you not trusting me around Dov, and I do not understand that you are only questioning me and not Dov. You're treating me like I'm the bad guy here. If you never trusted me then why are we together?" Gail started to have teary eyes. Why did this relationship had to go down like this.

It was hurting Chris to see Gail like this, crying and maybe ready for a break down. But he could not forget what he felt when he saw them two in the police car. They looked so close together like there was something between them two in which he could not be part of. That made him jealous and angry. "You're right Gail, I'm not sure if I trust you around Dov" Chris took a deep breath "I need time to think about this and about us" was the last thing Chris said before he turned around and walked away with tears in his eyes. He did not want her to see him crying, he felt betrayed by two people who were closest to him and that is a very stingy wound.

Gail rang the doorbell of her parents house. She did not want to go to her apartment she shared with Chris and Dov. That was the last place she wanted to be right now. Gail's mother Elaine opened the door in her evening gown.

"Gail, darling what is going on?" Elaine asked letting Gail in.

"I guess, me and Chris have broken up" Gail said looking to the ceiling to stop herself from crying. She did not want to cry in front of her mother.

"Oh sweety" Elaine said and hugging her daughter tightly "Your'e better without him anyway" Great, Gail thought. That's definitely what I wanted to hear right now. "You can use the guest room upstairs to get your rest." Elaine told Gail. As Gail took her bag and went upstairs, she wasn't sure if she was getting any sleep tonight.

After a long drive around Toronto Chris finally came home. He had been driving for 4 hours, he did not want to see Dov, but that was a difficult since they live under the same roof. When Chris walked to the kitchen to get something to drink Dov came out of his room and walked to the kitchen towards Chris. "Dude, where have you ..." Dov got cut off by Chris. "Don't talk to me, I do not have to say anything to you right now" Chris said very serious as he looked Dov straight in the eye. Dov understood and gave a nod towards Chris and turned around to go back to his room. Chris took a long breath again, it was going to be long night.

Chris was laying in his bed, his eyes were closed but he wasn't sleeping. He couldn't because the conversation with Gail was repeating in his mind and also the sight of Gail and Dov in that police car. It made him bitter, angry and sad.
