I laid in bed, depressed, upset, and heartbroken. I had trusted John, fallen in love with him, and lied to my brother, the one person who never let me down or lied to me.
"Rain," I heard Randy say "I got you some more chocolate."
"Thanks" I said softly.
He sat down next to me and put his arm around me.
"I really wish I would've listened to you Randy" I told him.
"Don't worry about it" he said.
'I was stupid to fall for a guy who was just using me to get to you."
"It's okay Rain. He can't hurt us anymore."
There was a knock at the door, so Randy went to answer it. He opened the door and there stood Stephanie.
"Come in Steph" said Randy.
She came in and hurried over to me.
"Oh honey," she said "I'm so sorry about what happened. I can't believe John would be such an asshole."
"It's okay Steph," I said "It's no ones fault but his."
"And Candice's," said Randy "It's her fault too."
"That's right," I said "This is her fault too."
I got out of bed and began to pace.
"She threw herself at him and he took the bait."
"That he did" said Randy.
I stopped pacing and said "Steph, can you ask your dad to make a match between me and Candice?"
"I can ask," she replied "But I don't know if he'll make it."
"You asking is enough for me."
"All right."
She got up to leave. As she reached the door she said "My dad said you have the next two weeks off for an emotional recovery."
"Tell him I said thank you" I told her.
She smiled and left.
"Randy promise me one thing."
"Anything" he told me.
"That over the next two weeks you'll give him hell from me."
"No problem" he said smiling.
