Cry Me A River

Chapter 2

Miguel's POV

Miguel left Charity crying and went to find Kay. No matter what Kay had done in the past, that didn't mean that she deserved to be treated badly. And, boy had he ever treated her bad since Charity came along. It must have been so hard on Kay. No, Miguel knew it was hard on Kay. Wincing he remembered the scene that had unfolded at the Bennett's house only weeks ago.

Miguel had gone to see Charity, to beg her to take him back. To work things out. But it was a bad idea from the start because Sam, Kay's dad, had slammed him into the wall and was about to knock his lights out for hurting his baby when Kay came to his rescue.

~Flashback~

"Daddy, stop it 's not his fault!" Kay screamed running down the stairs.

"What do you mean Kay, then whose fault is it?" Sam inquired, releasing Miguel to stare at his oldest daughter. "Did you seduce Miguel?"

"NO daddy. It was just that Miguel and Charity were broken up..."

"That was zombie Charity!" Miguel protested.

"Oh yeah like I knew that! Anyway daddy Miguel and Charity had broken up and Miguel said that if she had never cane along he would have loved me. So when they broke up, and Miguel made love to me, I thought it was because he loved me. Now I am just hurt and confused."

Then the brunette beauty had run crying into Sam's arms, and he immediately tried to comfort her. Miguel had felt terrible at the time. Yes he had said it. And he had meant it. But he loved Charity and still wanted her back so he promised Kay he would do right by her and the baby, but he wouldn't marry her because he loved Charity.

~End flashback~

Sighing Miguel went to the cafe hoping that Kay might be there. Unfortunately she wasn't. But he did see Reese, sitting at a table with Jessica.

"Reese, Jessica, hi."

Jessica glared at him and Reese failed to meet his eyes. What was this all about? His friends had never treated him this way before. "OK what gives?"

"What gives?" Jessica screeched. "Charity gave you a second chance and you broke her heart again."

"Jessica you don't understand..." Miguel began, "and anyway it is none of your business. Have you seen Kay?"

"Yeah Kay left with Simone and she was crying..." Reese began but stopped abruptly when his girlfriend gave him a dirty look.

Seeing they would be no help Miguel stomped out of the cafe. He would go to Simone's to look for her. It was really shitty of his friends to turn their backs on him when they didn't even know why that he and Charity had broken up. Sighing, he wrapped his coat around his body trying to warm up in the cold. How did his life get so screwed up?

Kay's POV

"Kay would you please tell me what is wrong?" Simone demanded. "I have to go meet Chad soon. And you have been crying for like ten minutes now."

Kay wiped her eyes and took a deep breath. "Well its just...Miguel broke up with Charity and she blamed me."

"And why shouldn't she Kay?"

"Because for once I had nothing to do with it Simone," Kay snapped angrily. "And Charity said such horrible things to me. She called me a bitch and...

"Kay get real, Charity would not do that!" Simone said putting her hands on her hips. "Unlike some of us, Charity is a good person."

"Oh so you are saying I am not?" Kay exploded; "after all I have done for you? Charity did call me a bitch. You ask Miguel! And you know what else...I think you should be Charity's best friend. I obviously am too evil for you!"

Simone gasped. Kay was...was she ending their friendship. "Oh Kay I am sorry, you know what I meant. It is just hard to believe that Charity..."

But Kay slamming the door on her way out interrupted her. Now she was crying even harder. Did she really have to lose everything and everyone to get the man she loved? Is it her fault she loved Miguel with all her being and had for years? Theresa's friends never turned their backs on her no matter what. Theresa's best friend, Whitney, would never turn her back on her true blue. So why did Simone have to turn her back on me? Kay wondered.

It was too cold to go to the park and she didn't want to face Charity either. But where could Kay go if she couldn't go home? She couldn't go to Miguel's house, not since Charity. They had lost some of their closeness since then. Not since Charity came into the picture. Reese was out of the question.

"I know!" Kay said softly. "I'll go visit Tabitha. "She is always ready to listen and she understands me like no one else does." Kay said aloud. "My own mother hates me. Hell, if someone said either Kay or Charity had to die and it is your choice grace then I would be six feet under!" And a lot like me."

Charity's POV

Charity walked into the cafe and ordered a vanilla latte and waited. She had asked Reese and Jessica to meet her here at 4:00 and it was five til now. They were going to help her get Miguel back once and for all. She too could plot! First she would feed Jess and Reese a sob story about Miguel dumping her and make everyone think Kay was to blame. Then Kay would be the outcast and Miguel would come running back to her, begging her to take him back.

It would work. She would figure out a way to get Miguel to forget the Fox incident. Somehow she would do it/ She would say that it was because of evil and she had no control over her body. That someone, most likely Kay had put a spell on her!

At that moment Jessica and Reese came in. Kay followed, crying, Simone at her heels. But seeing Charity the brunette turned and ran.

"So what is up Charity?" Reese asking pulling out a chair for Jessica.

"Is that lipstick on your collar Reese?" Charity asked, ignoring his question..

Reese blushed. "Um no that's...a stain."

"Well, Ok like Reese said, what is up Charity?" Jessica said quickly.

"Time to turn on the water works." Charity thought before beginning. "This ought to be good.' Blinking She forced herself to "cry."

"Oh Jessica, it is so horrible!" Charity sobbed. "Miguel broke up with me. He said he would never go back out with me."

"Why would he do that?"

"I don't know." The blond sniveled, "I was supposed to meet him here and when I got here Kay was leaving and then Miguel dumped me."

"So you think that Kay had something to do with it?" Reese asked, suspecting the same thing. Kay had been his girl at one point but then he had over heard her confessing her love for Miguel and well...eventually they broke up. And Reese did love Kay, but he couldn't compare to Miguel.

"I will tell mom. " Jessica spat. "then Kay will really be sorry!"

"NO don't tell aunt Grace!" Charity panicked. She didn't want anyone else to know the real reason Miguel dumped her like a bad habit, especially not aunt Grace.

"Why Not?"

"Because, " Charity said biting back a smile. "I can handle this on my own."

"Well If Miguel dumped you and didn't tell you why then we won't speak to him. Will we Reese?"

Reese shook his head no. But he didn't want to go with what Jessica said. Miguel was one of his best friends and he was sure that Miguel had a reason, and it had to be a good one, to break up with Charity.

'yes,' Charity thought "I will make you pay Kay Bennett. I can handle this, and you;ll be sorry you were ever born!"
