Chapter One
Cheater
New York City
Karen
I busted out of the rehearsal room, tears in my eyes. They did it. They both did. Why couldn't they just admit their feelings for each other, instead I had to hear it from the stupid chorus! I waved for the next taxi to come up. It took nearly seven seconds, rehearsal wasn't even over yet. But, I had to speak to Dev, make sure it wasn't true.
I trudged up the long steps to our apartment. Only to find Ivy and Dev on the couch, talking. "What are you two doing?" I demanded, coming into the room. "Karen, this is not what you think." Dev said. "Not what I think?" I asked.
"Ivy, is it true?" I asked her.
"Is what true?" She repeated, playing dumb. Typical of her.
"The rumors I heard at rehearsal! Are you two seeing each other behind my back?" I asked.
No one said a word. Nervous on how I would react. "Dev…" I couldn't finish my sentence. The tears choked my throat, and I ran out of the room. Nearly knocking a young man over. "Watch yourself," He warned. I looked up into his ivy green eyes.
"Karen, can't we talk about this?" Dev asked.
"No, Dev. How long?" I asked.
"How long what?" Dev asked. "How long have you two been going out?" I demanded. I stepped out of the man's grasp. Dev sighed, his eyes were full of tears also.
"A month." Dev said. "It's just that, you've been so busy."
"That's no excuse, Dev. I never cheated on you." I said. My chest was heaving with fury. "I loved you." I whispered, coming close to him to touch his soft cheek.
"I love you, too." He whispered. "No. No you don't." I said.
"Do you love her?" I asked. Dev stared at me with those chocolate brown eyes that I had once loved. No answer came from him lips. "That's what I thought." I said, running away from him. "Karen!" Dev said, trying to come to me. But, didn't.
I didn't care, I needed to get away from him. I took the stairs down two at a time. "Hey," a deep voice called. I turned my head up. To see the other man, with the same eyes coming down.
"Are you alright?" He asked. I smiled, trying to be brave. "Yes, thank you." I said. "I apologize for what happened up there. My boyfriend and I just broke up." I said. He smiled. "I'm Sam…Sam Winchester, the guy that caught you up there is my brother, Dean." Sam said.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Karen Cartwright, I wish we could've met in better circumstances." I said. "Me, too." Sam said.
After I shook Sam's hand, I walked out. Back to face rehearsal, and the scary world.
