Megan: ok? Weird.*they walk*
Caleb: she’s trying to date guys.
Megan: what?
Caleb: um, she used to be a *makes clicking sound*
Megan: oh. I see.
Caleb: yeah, I found out, told her off, and she decided to get over girls I guess, but eversince then, she was never nice to any of the girls I hung out with.
Megan: why are you telling me all this?
Caleb: well, cause you look like a girl I can trust. I can trust you right?
Megan: yeah, you can. *smiles*
Caleb: hey, you’re finally smiling. *smiles*
Megan: *laughs*whatever. Lemme tell you about my life then.
Caleb: sure. Go ahead. I’m listening. *buys coffee*
*they sit on a bench*
Megan: I moved here from military school in el-Paso when I heard about my sister, when she died, but that wasn’t the actual reason I wanted to move here, not to replace my sister, but to find a new lifestyle. Live in different air. I told this to my bestfriend and he insisted on going to school with me. And we did, then I met Adia’s friends. And things started to unravel.
Caleb: Adia is your sister’s name? Adia Beckett?
Megan: yeah?
Caleb: whoa. No wonder you looked so familiar. You’re her twin right?
Megan: yeah. Obviously.
Caleb: well, I knew her.
Megan: yeah?
Caleb: yeah. Her nick here is CDD right? I met her a long time ago, she was beautiful, but so, full of herself, if she wasn’t grinding all over guys, I would’ve dated her. She’s not independent. She was a friend for awhile, then she told me she didn’t wanna see me anymore. And, our friendship was over.
Megan: so you hate me?
Caleb: *laughs* what? No, I don’t hate you. I just don’t like what your sister became. I kinda had feelings for her, but she didn’t care, she doesn’t date nerds nor geeks. She prefers the jocks and the preps. It kinda hurt watching her change like that.
Megan: whoa, I didn’t know you were kinda close to my sister.
Caleb: I didn’t know either. So, enough of that. Now it’s you and me.
Megan: *laughs* me and you.
Caleb: and you know her friend Jacy right?
Megan: yeah, what about her?
Caleb: she was my ex, I dated her after Adia told me she didn’t wanna see me anymore.
Megan: wow.
Caleb: *Smiles* so your boyfriend, is he uh, doing well?
Megan: um, he’s actually in a coma.. it’s been 3 years.
Caleb: wow. Must’ve been hard, you know, taking care of him? How’d he, slip into the coma?
Megan: he tried to.. kill himself.. cuz of me.. *getting teary*
Caleb: hey. *puts coffee down* Megan.. *holds her shoulders* hey, things happen, usually for a reason.. but it’s not your fault.
Megan: *voice breaks* it is so my fault.
Caleb: it’s not if you don’t believe it is. Look, people are like this, sometimes, they need someone, but sometimes they need to be alone, it’s a natural feeling, and you’re not alone now..
Megan: why are you so nice to me?
Caleb: because you remind of someone I loved so much that I would kill myself for her. But you know, things fade, And I feel, attracted to you. *smiles*
Megan: *laughs then hugs him*
Caleb: *hugs her back* so now you trust me?
Megan: yeah.. I trust you.. for now..
Caleb: *laughs*
*with Edson*
Edson: *walks into the Sushi bar*
Dallas: Chris, I think we should break up.
Chris: what? You’re breaking up with me?
Dallas: well yeah, I kinda need some space to think for awhile.. I’m sorry.
Chris: is this because of your dumb-twat brother? Or some other GIRL?
Dallas: no, it’s not, and I’m not lesbian anymore Chris. I just wanna be alone. I’m sorry.
Chris: *scoffs* fine. Whatever. I didn’t need you anyway.
Dallas: *whispers* sorry. *walks off*
Chris: *feels hurt but doesn’t show it* another bites the dust.
Edson: *laughs and claps his hands* another one, perfect timing dude.
Chris: what do you want Rafferty?
Edson: I need to talk.
Chris: with me? *laughs* what? Do you want a ride or something? Money maybe?
Edson: no dude, I’m fcuking richer than you, I don’t need your fcuking money, and I have nicer car than you man, so shut up, sit down and listen.
Chris: alright. Chillax dude.
Edson: *laughs sarcastically* ok, so, do you remember Zeela? You know, Zeela Crawford?
Chris: yeah, the girl who broke my heart. What about her? Does she need anything? She wants me back doesn’t she? *laughs*
Edson: *grabs him* THIS IS SERIOUS MAN! ACT SERIOUS!
Chris: *scared* whoa! ok man! I will! Let go!
Edson: *lets him go and takes a deep breath* ok, do you know the kid that has been hanging out with her for I don’t know maybe, 3 freaking years?
Chris: a kid? What is she? Babysitting?
Edson: are you that blind? Why would she babysit the same little boy for three years?
Chris: is it hers?
Edson: of course dipshit, it’s hers.
Chris: so what do you want me to do about it?
Edson: *laughs sarcastically* oh god, you are blind, who has she had sex with 3 years ago? Huh? Who did she date 3 years ago?
Chris: *starting to get it* but.. no, it cant be mine.
Edson: well wake up bastard, it’s your kid.
Chris: wha? It can’t be.. I mean.
Edson: DUDE! Why are you so stupid?! Are you THAT blind? I mean, he has your friggin last name dude. Liam Lanter. LANTER. Does it even ring the smallest of bells?
Chris: seriously dude? I have a kid?
Edson: yeah dumbshit, you have a kid, I took care of him for you, and I was just waiting for the right moment for you to come and pick him up and tell him you love him, but you never showed, because you were being the dipshit you are, and dating some other chick.
Chris: that’s non of your business man, and I never knew, she never told me.
Edson: OH! SHE NEVER TOLD YOU! What about that time, you brought her to dinner? And you never believed her..
Chris: *gulps*
Edson: yeah.. that’s right. Feel it now, the pain she has been feeling when you weren’t there. And the feeling Liam has never felt because he doesn’t even know.
Chris: alright man, I’ll talk to her.
Edson: you better. Because loosing Zeela is like loosing the most precious thing in your life, I had to sacrifice myself for you. Cuz I know Zeela will be happier this way. So you better not mess this up. Zeela is just too special to mess up. Nobody else is like her, you’ll never find another Zeela on this planet.
Chris: well thanks man.
Edson:*points* don’t say shit. *grabs his car keys and walks out*
Chris: *sits there thinking hard**looking down and puts his face in his hands*
