Chapter Three
"That's a very pretty ring Mel," Sunny said, setting down her fork. She sighed, "I hope I get married sometime in my life."
"Thanks Sunny, and don't worry, I'm sure you will," I patted the top of her hand.
We were sitting down across from each other at a table in the middle of the room, eating our dinner. The room was still pretty empty, as everyone was still washing up or getting their food.
"I don't know. Kyle just doesn't seem like the type." She sounded disappointed.
"Have you guys talked about it?" I asked as I took a bite of my sandwich. Turkey. My favorite.
"Well no, not exactly. But that's the thing, we don't really talk much anymore. I think he is losing interest in me," She replied. I could tell she was upset, but I wasn't going to let her bring me down.
"Sunny don't say that. I'm sure he just needs a break, he'll come around," I smiled at her. "But I can talk to Jared and see if Kyle has said anything. That is, if you want me to."
"Oh could you? Please?" She put on a big smile and picked up her fork again, shoving a pile of macaroni and cheese into her mouth.
"Of cour-" I started to say as someone started yelling behind me. I turned around to face the noise.
"How could you do this to me? I thought you loved me?" Ian was two inches from Wanda's face, yelling. His fist was shaking. "I'll kill him. I swear I will."
I got up and ran over to where they were standing.
"Ian, please. Don't do this here. You'll make a scene. Please," Wanda whispered as tears started to leak from her eyes.
"You think I give a shit who sees or hears?" Ian screamed.
Wanda started to back up slowly, tears still falling down her cheeks.
"Whoa, Ian calm down. What's going on?" I asked, trying to get him to look at me. He wouldn't take his eyes off Wanda. I slipped in between them, put my arms on his shoulders and pushed him back with all my might.
"Ask her," Ian yelled as he pulled away from my grasp, stomping away.
I turned back to face Wanda, who was now crying hysterically. "Wanda, are you okay? Did he hurt you?" I had to make sure she was safe.
She put her hands to her face to wipe the tears away. "No," Wanda whispered through sobs. "He didn't hurt me."
I put my arms around Wanda and hugged her, letting her cry on my shoulder.
I had walked her back to her room and we were now sitting on her bed, the room almost dark.
I waited till I heard no more sobs, "You wanna talk about it?" I asked.
"I.. I... hurt him. Mel I hurt him. I don't even know why I did it. It all happened so fast. I was standing there looking at the puppies and the next thing I know he was kissing me." She talked so fast that I barely understood what she was saying.
"Wait, Wanda what do you mean you kissed him?" I shifted my body sideways, putting my left leg on the bed, while leaving the right one dangling off. "Who did you kiss?"
She started to cry again. I grabbed both of her hands, holding them in mine.
"It's okay Wanda, you can tell me, I won't judge you," I said sympathetically. I was never very good at trying to make people feel better, but I could tell Wanda really needed me to.
"Blue. Water. Lightning." She sniffled between each word.
"...Who?" I was so shocked. Wanda kissed someone other than Ian? But that was so unlike her.
"Blue Water Lightning. He was at the pet shop looking for a puppy too. He asked me my name and what I was looking for. We started talking about why we each wanted a puppy," She paused to look at my reaction. I was just staring at her, with my jaw slightly open. "Then he asked if I would like to go get some coffee with him. I agreed. I don't know what it was about him, but he was... cute. So anyway after we got our coffee we went outside and I told him I should get back. That's when he kissed me."
I didn't know what to say. I never in a million years expected this from Wanda. Wanda of all people. If she would do this, then what's to stop Kyle? Or Jared? Or me? That's what scared me the most. But I knew I had to act strong, for Wanda's sake.
"Wow," I said. Of course that's all I could come up with, I wanted to smack my head. "Wanda that's... wow."
"Oh Mel, what am I going to do?" Wanda said as she got up and put her hands to her head, scrunching up her hair. "I totally screwed up. Ian will never forgive me for this."
"You don't know that. Ian is a very forgiving person Wanda. You just have to give him time to let him get his anger out."
"He's probably punching a wall out right now. I don't know how I let this happen. We aren't supposed to behave like that. It was so out of character for both of us. We don't have one night stands like you humans do."
"Yes, because we humans are so flawed," I said through clenched teeth.
"Mel, that's not what I meant. Please don't be mad at me! I can't have the two most important people in my life mad at me!" She dropped to the floor and put her face in her hands.
"No, it's fine. I'm not mad. I overreacted. Sorry, Wanda."
"Don't be sorry, I should be the one that's sorry."
"So, if you don't mind me asking, how did Ian find out?" I knew I shouldn't bring it up, but I was curious. Why was he mad now? The last raid was a week ago.
"Well, we were just talking an-" Wanda was cut out by none other than Sunny, running in the room, her eyes red.
"Sunny, what's wrong?" I asked. Why is everyone crying today? Today of all days. Today should be one of the happiest days of my life. I'm engaged. But here I am, with my two best friends, both of which are crying.
"He.. he dumped me!" Sunny screamed and she fell onto the bed.
"What?!" Me and Wanda both said at the same time.
"Kyle... he dumped me!"
Wanda and I looked at each other, both of our eyes were wide open. Why would Kyle break up with Sunny? They were fine yesterday!
Oh my God. What does this mean for me? We were the three perfect couples, meant to be together forever. Now two of the three were going downhill. Wanda cheated on Ian. Kyle broke up with Sunny. Is something going to happen with me and Jared? No, it can't. But that's what I always thought about Wanda and Ian. Is there any hope? How can I possibly get married with all of this? Maybe it's true, nothing lasts forever...
(A/N: I decided my story was in need of some drama, so let me know what you think =] )
