Darren was walking through a hallway, when he saw Destiny about to enter a room.

"Destiny?"
"Darren. Hey."

"What are you doing here, are you okay?"
"No no I was just, I was feeling a little sick so... It's probably nothing. What are you doing here?"

"I was trying to find a vending machine. My aunt just had a baby." Destiny walked into the room. Darren followed behind her.
"Oh really? Congratulations."

Darren half-smiled and nodded to thank her. But as he looked at the breatfeeding tips poster on the right, and watched Destiny's hands cover her flat stomach, the smile slowly faded into the opposite.

With a hesitant frown on her stomach he asked,
"It's Matthew's isn't it?"

"What?"
He looked her in the eyes. "You're pregnant. It's Matthew's right?" The question had more edge the second time around. Destiny exhaled hard, and turned away from him.

"Never mind. It's none of my business"
"No, it's not." Destiny turned her head to answer sharply.

Darren paced for a few seconds, then froze.
"But I have to wonder how fast you ran to him after we broke up."
"Excuse me?" Destiny scoffed. "I didn't run anywhere."

"Right. He was waiting for you because you'd been hooking up the whole time then?"
"Oh my God!" She spun, facing him again, arms crossed.

"Then what? What is it?"
"You are the one that broke up with me, remember? We don't talk for ages, and the moment we see each other again you start throwing accusations in my face! What the hell, Darren?"

"I just want to know!"
"Know what?"

"What does he do for you that I can't?" Darren's voice grew quiet, as he sat on the hospital bed. "And why does he get to do it?"

Silence. Not only was Destiny unsure of how to answer, but she was thrown off guard by his glossy eyes.

"Destiny, you could've asked me for anything, and I would've done everything to give it to you. And we were all good, except whenever Matthew came around. Then it was like I stopped existing, and I wasn't the boyfriend anymore. How was I supposed to deal with that?"

Suddenly all her anger was replaced with a painful kind of empathy. She sat next to Darren.

"You're a great guy. No Darren look at me, you are. But, I love Matthew. I think I always have." Darren shifted in his seat.

"I know we didn't last, and I'm sorry, but I think you'll find someone. Everyone has a soul mate." Destiny tried to smile at him.

Darren looked down at the hand in her lap and took it.
"Does he love you?" He asked, still fiddling with her hand.
"I know he does."

"Well if he ever stops acting like it, call. Me and Shaun will sort him out for you."
Destiny laughed at the thought of Darren and her brother working together. "Right. Will do."

After they hugged, Darren figured his family would be wondering where he was by then. "I should probably get back. I'll see you around."

"Yeah."
Destiny stared at the shut door until it's swaying blinds came to a still. She sighed to herself. "Matthew" was all she could think.
