Back with chapter 12--so who was the person that saw Cristina and John together? Well, heres your answer! Read and find out ...but first:
Important notice: I really really hate to do this but I have no choice, I start school Tuesday and it's going to be a very busy year for me and I won't have much time to be writing so as a result I will be putting my whole account on hiatus until further notice starting Tuesday (I will be putting up another chapter of Inevitable Love by this weekend first) . That's why I have been updating more often lately, I'm trying to get all my stories to a point where I feel like I can cut them off. I am terribly sorry and I hope all of you (especially the ones in highschool) can understand why I'm doing this. I really do appreciate everyone who's been reviewing/reading my stories and I promise that I will try hard to update. Thanks guys--you are the best!!!!!
Chapter 12:
The blond bombshell wore a big smile on her face as she left the lounge and headed down the hall to look for someone when she heard voices a little way down the hall:
"If you really wanted to tell her you would've already done it Cristina!"
"It's not that easy John!.............. Look I don't know what the hell you're trying to do but I'm telling her today--I can't do this anymore."
The woman stopped dead in her tracks as she recognized the two voices as John and Cristina's, she moved behind the pile of boxes so that she was right around the corner from the other two people in the hallway, but also made sure the boxes fully hid her from site. She searched for a crack in the stacked boxes to make sure it was really them, it was.
"What about us? You're just gonna turn your back on everything we have?"
Her eyes widened in shock as she heard the conversation, it couldn't be....right? She listened on;
"There is no us! We don't have anything John--all we have is something between the sheets, that's all!"
"So I guess you were lying when you told me you loved me then huh?"
The blonde's jaw dropped to the floor, Cristina and John were sleeping together! How could they? Never in a million years would she ever had expected this from either one of them, she placed her hand over her chest and carefully snuck around the pile of boxes. When she did, however, she received an even bigger shock when John pulled Cristina into a very passionate kiss. The woman's face scrunched into one of pure anger as she tried her hardest not to march right over there and slap the taste out of both their mouths.
Why could they so such a horrible thing? She never took them as people that would go behind their friend's back just for a quick fuck--when she heard footsteps the blonde quickly moved right back behind the boxes. She saw as Cristina went stomping off while John watched her leave, she held her breath as she saw John hit the wall in anger as he yelled out some obscene sentences before walking off in the opposite direction Cristina went in.
Torrie took a few minutes to recover from everything that had just happened before she moved from behind the boxes, what should she do? Should she confront them or tell Laura? Torrie shook her head at the second option, Laura was by far the sweetest person she'd ever known and she just knew that if she found out from someone else that her best friend and now fiance were secretly together she'd be just heartbroken. And Torrie didn't even want to think about the girl she had made close friends with in such a short amount of time, hurt so much. But then again Laura had to find out, Torrie sighed and ran a hand through her shiny hair, Why did she have to find this out? Why couldn't someone else be in her place?
It was then Torrie knew what she had to do, she had to get Cristina and John to tell Laura. She figured that it would be better if they told Laura instead of herself, now all that needed to be done was paying a certain curly brunette a little visit.
Meanwhile:
Cristina furiously wiped the tears from her eyes as she sat down on one of the trunks in an empty part of the arena, she didn't want to be around anyone at the moment. She leaned against the cold wall and closed her eyes, she felt like the world was beating down on her chest and she had no way of getting it off. Why her? Why did she have to be the one to sleep with someone else's boyfriend? Why couldn't it be some other person? She didn't think she could handle any more of this, all Cristina wanted to do was to just run away from everything that's happened and make it all go away.
Cristina sniffed and realized that her cheeks were wet from silent tears, she quickly wiped them away with the back of her hand. She's cried more times in the past month than in her entire life.
"Cristina?"
At the sound of her name Cristina looked in front of her and came in contact with a pair of soft brown eyes, without thinking Cristina flung her arms around his neck and cried onto his shoulder.
Charlie wrapped his arms around her waist as he stood in front of her, between her legs. "Shhh--it's gonna be okay Cristy," he whispered softly into her ear.
Cristina shook her head as she said, "N-no iit's not--okay! I should've listened to you, I should've told Laura the truth!" Charlie pulled away from Cristina and wiped her tears away, "Cristina you gotta calm down sweetie! Look were gonna figure something out okay? You're not in this alone."
"I thought you hated me because of what I've done," Cristina said teary eyed as she looked at Charlie.
"No, Cristina I don't hate you--nothing you can do could change how I feel about you," Charlie said softly as he tucked a stray piece of hair behind Cristina's ear. Cristina smiled slightly as she took his hand, "Thank you," she whispered.
"For what?" Charlie asked confused.
"For being my friend--I don't deserve someone like you Charlie, you're so good to me," Cristina answered as she looked down.
"Hey don't say that, if anything I don't deserve you," Charlie said as he used his other hand to lift up her chin to meet his gaze. "I heard about the engagement--you okay?" He asked.
Cristina nodded, "I don't know why he did that--it's just gonna make things worst. The part I have yet to get is that he expects to marry her but still be with me--Gosh he is such a jerk."
"Hey Cristina!"
Charlie and Cristina turned and saw Torrie standing about 5 feet from them with her arms crossed, Charlie stepped away from Cristina allowing her to hop off the trunk as they saw Torrie approached them. "Hey Torrie," Cristina said.
Torrie smiled as she said, "I'm sorry to interrupt but can I talk you?" Charlie looked at Cristina before saying, "I gotta go get something to eat anyway--I'll see you later okay Cristy?" Cristina nodded and said, "Bye Charlie."
Torrie watched as Charlie headed down the hall, once he was out of sight she turned her attention back to Cristina. She sighed and said, "We need to talk about something."
Cristina crossed her arms over her chest as she asked curiously, "About what?"
"I know about you and John," Torrie said, cutting straight to the point. Torrie wasn't about to jump around the issue, especially when it involved her friends.
Cristina's eyes widened as she felt her heart pounding in her chest and her throat tighten, Torrie knew!? How? Her and John were always so careful....Cristina gasped, she must have seen them together in the hall! What should she do now? Cristina took a couple of breaths to calm herself as she stuttered, "L-look Torrie I-"
"No," Torrie cut off sternly. "How long has this been going on?" Cristina closed her eyes and whispered very softly, "almost 2 months."
Torrie's eyes widened in shock, she immediately grabbed Cristina by the arm and led her down the hall into the women's locker room. She locked the door behind them and turned to Cristina, disappointment and disgust filled her eyes as she said, "How could you do this Cristina? How could you do this to Laura?"
Cristina stood there in silence as she looked down at her feet, Torrie took this as a sign to continue, "You know never in a million years would I have ever thought you'd do something like this Cristy--what are you thinking? You have some pleasure in screwing around with your best friends fiance?
Cristina glanced up as Torrie as she asked softly, "You're not going to tell her...are you?"
Torrie crossed her arms and looked at Cristina for a few moments before responding, "No--that's your job but lets get one thing straight, I'll be damned if I have stand off to the side and watch her getting hurt more, I don't want to tell her because I feel like it would be better coming from you. But, if you don't tell her real soon Cristina....I will tell Laura myself ".
"Torrie look," Cristina said as she rubbed her temples, "I didn't ask for this okay!? I didn't want to be the person that screws with other people's boyfriends--it just happened! I kept telling myself that I would stop and tell Laura but I just kept putting it off, I don't know why maybe it was because I was scared of her reaction, or maybe because I thought John really loved me, or because I thought I loved him--but I don't know! I didn't want this Torrie, if I could turn back time and change this then I would, but I can't."
"Well, you have a change to make things right Cristina--don't continue this with John. He loves Laura and Laura loves him, don't screw things up," Torrie gave her another look before opening the door and leaving.
Cristina closed her eyes and felt the tears run down her face, she knew that she would get blamed in the end. She knew that there was only one thing to do.
Well well....It was Torrie that found out, I didn't think so many people would say it was Laura but if I did make it out to be Laura then the other thing I had planned wouldn't be as dramatic ya know? You know what to do now....yep review and fortunately for you guys I have already started to write chapter 13 so there shouldn't be much wait :)
