#324 (Relationship) Ex's
"So this is your new flavor of the week?" A harsh voice spoke to the right.
You tightened up and you felt her hand stiffen in yours. You begged her not to leave you. She tightened her gripe. You move a little closer into her side. "I'm sorry." You whisper in her ear before you turn to glare at one of your ex's. "Don't." You hiss out.
A thin hard line lifted her right upper lip. "Don't want Lodge. Don't warn your newest flavor in what is in store for her in a matter of days. To warn her that once you fuck her then you are going to kick her to the curb." Taking a firm step forward. Her eyes lifted to glare hard into Betty's blue green eyes. "Honey; she's not worth the pain."
Your body had stiffen at the words that had been coming from your ex's lips. You couldn't deny any single one of them. You had treated her like that ... you had treated countless of other people like that. But Betty was different. But will Betty believe that she's the exception. That she truly is the one that fate always had in store for you.
"I'm sorry that you got hurt by Veronica." Betty's calm soft voice spoke. "Veronica herself truly regrets what she did to you and others." She gently pulled Veronica into her side. "But she's not the same person she was then. She's changing. She's better." Fire entered her eyes. "She's mine."
"Come find me after she breaks your soul after you give her your innocence." Her eyes looked back into your own. "Do you even remember my name?"
Taking a deep breath. "No. I'm sorry but I don't."
Her smile turned sad. Then hard once more. Her eyes turned back towards Betty. "Remember I said. As soon as she is done using you ... come find me. I'll get you in touch of every other person she has hurt." With that she turned and walked down the main street.
You look tearfully up into her blue green eyes; "B." You shake your head; "I'm not that person any longer. I regret it."
Betty placed a finger against your lips. "Veronica. You can't undo the past. The past is the past. But today is today. This moment is this moment. That is all that matters."
You rest your head against her neck as you allowed her to comfort you as you thought about your past yet again.
