Molly couldn't bring herself to talk to either Hurricane or Shannon that night. Her worries and doubts were festering and increasing, making her more and more anxious. She felt she was losing something that she was only just discovering. She spent as little time with Hurricane as possible, hoping the space from him would help clear her head of al l confusing thoughts. She knew she was hurting him by refusing to go out with him or spend time with him, she hoped she wasn't driving him into the arms of Nidia.
Then there was Shannon, he really was everything Hurricane had told her he was. He was the only one who seemed to be able to make her laugh all this time, it used to be Hurricane who did that. Shannon understood her moods and left her alone when she needed it. She couldn't deny that through all this, she found herself attracted to him, he was hot and was so sweet to her. But at the same time, she felt torn apart by guilt, he was Hurricane's best friend; it was an unwritten rule that you didn't do things like that. But she was strongly attracted to him.
"Molly, can I talk to you?" a voice brought her out of her thoughts
Shannon stood smiling over her, sweating having just finished a match. She smiled back, trying to stop her heart beating so fast
"Sure, what about?"
"It's kinda private, come over here" he motioned for her to follow
He led her into a small room at the end of the corridor, bare except for a few old boxes. She leant against the wall, arms crossed and looked expectantly at him
"Hurricane's hurting you know that? You're really hurting him by blowing him off and not giving any reasons, why you doing that to him?" he asked
"Shannon, I..." she stopped, feeling stupid "I can't tell you, it'll sound pathetic"
"So tell me, I won't laugh I promise" he crossed his heart solemnly
Molly giggled and nodded
"Ok, well you know Nidia? Hurricane's ex-girlfriend?"
"Oh yeah" Shannon grimaced "she'd been asking me to sleep with her since I've known her in the developmentals"
"She told me a few weeks ago to stay away from Hurricane because he wasn't what he seemed, she told me that the reason she and Hurricane broke up was that he cheated on her and broke her heart and that that was what made her the way she is, Jamie was there to pick up the pieces"
"What?!!" Shannon exploded "She was the one who cheated on him, I was there so I know, she cheated on him with Noble and trust me, she's been that way for a long time"
Molly looked stunned, she felt she could breathe a lot easier now, Nidia had been lying! Maybe everything else was a lie too, she began to feel a little light-headed.
"Then she said that he was still in love with her and had been pestering her for ages about getting back together, she said he wasn't in love with me at all" Molly's voice cracked, she'd reached the part that hurt the most
"Molly, listen to me" Shannon said softly "he stopped loving Nidia a long time ago, you're the one he cares about, believe me because I've known him a long time, he really does love you"
"I wanted to believe it but I wouldn't let myself believe that after Spike someone would still love me, I let myself believe Nidia because he wouldn't hurt her in the ring" she said barely audible
"That's because he never has, an old habit from the developmentals," said Shannon
There was a pause as Molly gathered her courage to address the other thing that was bothering her
"Then there's you" she began
"Me?" Shannon seemed surprised and amused at this
"When I met you, I was so attracted to you and because I was shunning Hurricane, my feelings grew for you" she trailed off embarrassed
Before she could finish, Shannon cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. It was a brief but deep kiss, Molly looked mystified at him as he pulled away.
"Well did you feel anything?" he asked
"No" she said frowning "nothing inside at all"
"See, it's not me you want, it's Hurricane" he explained triumphantly "just go and find him and tell him everything you've told me"
Molly suddenly smiled, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders and hugged Shannon briefly
"Thanks Shannon"
"Hey, it's ok, if you ever need to talk than I'm the man, don't bottle it up" he said sternly
"Got it" she answered, laughing as she ran out of the room
*
As she searched the corridors for Hurricane, she began feeling more and more nervous and excited. Shannon had helped her realise that she was just holding back because she was afraid of getting hurt, allowing herself to believe that it was all going wrong. She looked down a corridor, he wasn't there. Suddenly, her super-senses shot off, tingles travelling down her spine. She tried to work out what was happening, it was connected to Hurricane but she couldn't work out why. With increasing desperation, she began running, trying to find him.
She saw him, standing just inside his locker room, the door open as he listened to the person who stood outside the door. That person had thick curly hair and shining brown legs. Molly scowled, it was Nidia. She strained to hear what Nidia was saying
"Anyhow, all I know is that I went to this room to find a box for Jamie's stuff and he's grabbed her and kissing her and she is not putting up a fight, let me tell you, could all be innocent of course" she smirked
Molly gasped and narrowed her eyes; Nidia had spied on her and Shannon! She knew that her plan was backfiring so was going for all or nothing to get revenge, she was trying to break them up. Molly waited until Nidia had walked away and Hurricane had gone back inside his room before walking swiftly over to the door and knocking.
"Come in" the voice said sharply
She did so quickly, shutting the door behind her. Hurricane sat on the bench, his mask beside him and his head in his hands. She gently placed a hand on his shoulder
"Are you OK?" she asked
He flinched at her voice and threw her hand off
"Yeah just fine, where've you been?" his voice was biting
"Talking with Shannon, he was helping me sort all my feelings out so I knew what to do," she said
"I bet that wasn't all you were doing" he snorted
"Hurricane! What are you saying?" she said, shocked
"I'm saying that someone told me that you two were kissing which explains a lot"
"It does?"
"Why you've been avoiding me without having the guts to tell me that you aren't interested anymore"
Before she could retort back, her super-senses went off again. Hurricane looked at her with those eyes, full of hurt and anger now.
"We have a building collapse to deal with" he said curtly "there we're The Hurricane and Mighty Molly, there we have no problems"
"If you'll just listen to me and give me a chance" she tried
"Why should I Molly? After you've lied, refused to talk to me, not given any reason for not going out with me and kissed my best friend, why?" he demanded
"Because I love you" she yelled back
She'd said it, she'd finally admitted it. She hoped it would be enough, for him to just listen so she could explain everything and just try to erase all the pain. She hoped she'd be given the chance
