All week, Diana avoided Megan. The mere thought of the betrayal that occurred was enough to break Diana's heart all over again. She did not want to believe her own best friend had met up with her ex-and-supposed-to-be-dead boyfriend and did not even think about mentioning it to her.

The fact that she didn't got Diana thinking. What were they talking about? Were they planning something together? Did Megan know all this time that Dino wasn't dead? Why didn't she tell Diana then? Were they together? Was her best friend the reason why her boyfriend hid from her all these years?

But, she knew Megan wouldn't do that. There was no way. But, there's no other explanation for their secret meet-up.

Friday, after work, Diana decided not to go straight home. She went for a walk around the neighbourhood, and tried to clear her thoughts. She walked to the water front and stood by herself, looking out to the water.

The continuous lapping of the water kind of calmed down her mind, but soon the thoughts of everything that has happened rushed back into her mind as the waves rushed onto shore. And as the skies turned gray and the storm clouds moved in, Diana's tears fell in sync with the rain from the skies.

Standing there alone, Diana cried her heart out. Cried for the past. Cried for the last three years. Cried for the last few days. Cried for everything.

With Dino coming back from the dead to Megan keeping secrets from her to Derek's small kiss, Diana's felt like her brain might just explode from all her thoughts. She was very confused and just wanted everything to go away for a few moments, so she could regroup.

Suddenly, the rain around Diana stopped. But, as she looked out to the water, the storm kept raging on. Surprised, Diana looked up to find an umbrella above her head. She spun around to find the owner of the umbrella to see Derek holding it for the both of them.

"What happened?" Worry filled his voice and he wrinkled up his eyebrows. Diana was taken aback and was speechless. The two of them stood staring at each other, until Diana finally found her voice.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was just walking back home, and I saw you standing here yourself in the rain. So, I came up to say hi. What are you doing here? You okay?"

"Uh, yeah. I'm okay." Diana turned to face back the water and wiped her tears away. Derek could tell she wasn't in the mood to be questioned and to talk. And last time, he had already pushed her too far. So he took a step forward to stand next to her.

"Okay. But, if you need a shoulder to lean on, I'll be here."

And as the storm raged around them, the two of them stood in silence and watched the water together. Diana looked up at him, and expected to see him staring out at the water. But, to her surprise, he was looking down at her. She didn't know why, but it made her stomach flutter a little and she looked away immediately.

"Thanks."

"For what?"

"For being such an understanding, considerate and overall good friend." She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed, hoping that comment would push away all her confused feelings for him. That saying it aloud would help convince herself that that was all he was to her. A good friend.

He laughed. Little did she know how much that had hurt him.
