Chapter Fourteen: It Can't Be

Sasha ran into the kitchen and saw Lily about to take a dish of lobster outside. But she stopped her just in time.

"Hey, what's going on? Why do you have the freaked-out look on your face?" Lily asked her.

"Umm, if I were you… I wouldn't go out there." Sasha shook her head very quickly. "Nope, nope, nope."

"Why, why, why?" Lily asked.

"Because…it might get ugly." Sasha warned her.

"I can handle it." Lily told her.

She shooed Sasha out of the way and exited out of the kitchen. Sasha stayed inside to avoid the drama and bickering that lied ahead in the quick future.

"Please don't look left, please don't look left, please don't look left…." Sasha repeated to herself, hoping Lily would do as she wished.

She heard a plate drop. That was her signal that Lily saw.

"Oh crap." Sasha panicked. She peaked out and eyed Lily storming off out of the cafeteria toward Michael. She decided to follow her so she wouldn't do anything stupid… and violent.

As soon as Lily went out into the halls, Sasha heard Michael greet Lily with a friendly "Hey Lily."

Lily growled. "Ohhh. YOU'RE DISPICABLE!"

Kelly-Kelly turned around to see who it was. From her eyes to her cheeks were mascara tears that stained her face.

Michael shook his head and sighed. He looked at Kelly and told her that he'd have to talk to her later. The Louisville native nodded her blonde locks and walked away.

Lily then got up close and personal in Michael's face. "What the hell is going on?"

Brown eyes narrowed to her; Michael scoffed. "Are you kidding me? You're jealous AGAIN? After I told you that I had no interest in her?"

"Then why did we see you kissing her forehead and cradling her?" Sasha asked.

"Because I was being a good FRIEND to her." Michael answered the cousins. "Miz is trying to break her and Mahoney up and she was upset. I wasn't flirting with her."

"Right, do you honestly think we're stupid?" Lily questioned him harshly. "Every fucking time you're with her, you have SOME lame excuse. Is that why you wouldn't have sex with me last night Michael? Because you had BARBRA on your mind?"

Michael couldn't believe what she had just said. But instead of letting out his anger, he just said. "You know what. I don't need this. I don't need you and your fucking immaturity and jealousy. I was really starting to like you a lot Lily. I was thinking may be I was in love, but I wasn't sure. Now I know what I'm feeling. I'm fed up with you. We're done."

She didn't show it, but Lily was broken up inside. She felt like she just made one huge mistake. She wanted to break down and cry but then he'd think she was weak. Lily merely just said. "Fine with me."

Michael just took one last look at her with a blank expression on his face and then walked away with his back to her.
