Kiss of Death

-He completely dreams of her...and she completes him.-

"Mrs. Forman, what am I gonna do?" I moaned as she put a PB&J sandwich in front of me. "I still have to pay rent here! How am I gonna get another job?"

"Well, honey, did you try just talking to David? Maybe he'll understand," she suggested and I sighed.

"I don't know. Maybe. I just can't believe he did that!"

"He was upset! And what you did was no better."

"I know. It just makes me so mad that..." I trailed off. I didn't wanna say all the words I had in mind in front of Mrs. Forman. It would be awkward.

"I know, Sarah," she said, sighing. "But I still think you should just talk to him."

"OK. I'll try it. Thanks, Mrs. Forman."

I walked into the hospital and saw David sitting at the receptionist desk that used to be mine. Asshole.. I took a deep breath and walked up to him at the desk.

"Hey, uh David?" he looked up.

"Oh. It's you."

"Can we talk?" David glowered at me.

"I'm working."

"I know, but-"

"I said I'm working!" he snapped, and I frowned.

"David, I know it was a really bitchy thing for me to go out on a date with you and then start going out with Hyde, but I really don't think it was fair for you to get your dad to fire me! I know what I did was awful, but I really, really need this job! And I also think it was really babyish of you to get your dad to do your dirty work for you!" I blurted out, shocked by how fast that came out. It sounded like one big sentence.

For a second, David was quiet. Then he said, "What's done is done, Sarah. Maybe-when you're done being a bitch, or you break up with your stoner boyfriend-we can talk." I glared at him.

"You know what? FINE!" I yelled, and stomped out of the hospital. Well, that didn't work.

Donna, Jackie, and I were all sitting on Donna's bed, filling each other in on what was happening in our lives.

"...so I asked Mrs. Forman what I should do, and she said that I should just go over there and talk to David, so I did..." I trailed off.

"...and then Mr. Bonkers never came home last night! So I went out to ask Eric if he had seen him..." Donna explained.

"...and then...and then...I saw Michael and Laurie in the kitchen...and then he kissed her!" Jackie moaned through her tears.

"...I went down to the hospital, right? And that fucker was at my old desk, so I did the mature thing and went up to talk to him..."

"...and I even asked Eric if he knew where Mr. Bonkers was and he said no!"

"...and so now me and Michael are over! Forever! How awful is that?"

"...so then that tool David basically said that he wouldn't give me my job back unless I dumped Hyde! Now what am I supposed to do? What a tool!"

"...Eric ran over Mr. Bonkers and then tried to smooth it over by giving me a kitten! What a tool!"

"...Michael just expects me to get back together with him...after all he's put me through...oh God, I still love him! What a tool!"

And then we all just stared at each other, after all of our rantings, me and Donna trembling with fury and Jackie shaking with tears. We just sat there and stared at each other, each completely convinced that our situation was worse than the other two's.
