Valentine Blues - Season 1 - Episode 42

She covers her mouth, her hand shock , tears fills her eyes ” Luce, i am sorry”
Lucy touches her face, the first tear drops , it takes a minute before she could find her voice ”I was the one who watched you break over and over and over again for him. I was the one who gave you a shoulder to cry on when he did the unthinkable, i was the one who was there for you when a year ago you found him in bed with some bimbo and he claimed he was drunk and he didn’t have sex with her. I was the one who stayed by the hospital when you had a nervous breakdown because of him. yes you both had some good times, but you forget that there was a lot of bad times too..those times i saw your eyes swollen with overnight tears, those nights i saw you try to pretend all was rosy, those times you lied to my face just so i do not take it up with him of how he was a lying and cheating a-----e. Daniel is right, i never liked him because i saw right through him and i knew you deserved better, but you were my best friend, and you happiness came first even though it was killing me the pain you went through when he hurt you, but i stood by you even till the day he left you for good…i stood by you. So forgive me if i want the best for you, forgive me if i have gone about it wrongly. forgive me..but i would not stand idle by and watch you ruin your life, that’s what best friends do..and maybe i was rooting for Darren because he came just when you needed peace, happiness and for a few weeks i saw the light return back into yours, i saw you glow, i saw you happy and ready to sail to the sea..maybe i am wrong, maybe, maybe Darren is not so awesome, maybe…but i would take a Darren, a hundred bad Darren over a pig like Daniel” she says, another tear falls ”You hit your best friend from trying to protect you? yet you let a man who causes you so much pain to cling to you like that, forgetting that he is also causing another woman pain right now..his wife, who may love him. I get it Anna, first cut is the deepest, i get it, but this..this is way out of line, this is morally wrong, you can date any other guy, maybe not even Darren if you do not like him that much, but i beg you..do not let Daniel confuse you..you are glittering baby, you are beautiful and you deserve more than he can ever offer, but the fact that you choose to lash out at me instead of at him sows that there is something seriously flawed with you…you want me to leave you alone, you want me to let you do you? Fine, but don’t come crying to me when he becomes a bastard that he is, i only pity Darren, who seems genuinely taken with you” She says blinking away tears.


The door bursts up, Adam walks in ”Girls, we have been looking all over for you, guys, they are in here” he says over his shoulders as he comes to hug Lucy from behind, Tonia, Tom and the Darren walks in.
Anna turns away and then wipes her eyes, Lucy quicken flicks the tears away as Adam hugs her.

”What’s going on here?”Tonia says walking into the room and going to them
”Nothing, just talking” Lucy turns around with a smile
”Hey baby, what’s wrong with your eyes and..are you okay?” Adam, Lucy’s date says peering into her face ”Is my date having a bad day?”
She smiles ”Nah, something got into my eyes that’s all”
”Ann, can we talk, please” Darren says from the door
”I can’t!!” she says walking away, leaving them staring after her as she exits the room, Lucy shakes her head
”What was that about?” Tom turns to Lucy
”I- i..” she shakes her head ”It’s nothing, she just needs a bit of space”
”You know what, i am not having it” Darren blurts out and then tries to follows her.
”Darren, dude let her!” Tom stops him
”No Tom, i mean, why is she avoiding me, and being upset with me? I didn’t do anything, really lets analysis it. I really didn’t do anything. Is it my fault my ex is here and then Bella? Did i invite them, and even at that, am i confused as to what i want? No! I want her, i want to date her and i am very honest about it but all she is doing is getting angry and then avoiding me, i mean she wouldn’t even give me a chance to explain things to her and even to apologize for something i had no control over..i didn’t sleep with my ex and neither did i have any romantic activities with Bella. Hell, the only woman i have been with since my ex has been with her,…so what if i omitted that my ex was around, wasn’t i supposed to prioritize who matters to me over who doesn’t!!?”
”Baby, came down” Tonia comes to him, trying to hug him, he stops her.

”No, now i am upset, it doesn’t make sense, i am here am i not, i am worried about her am i not..but she being like that wouldn’t help us at all. Damnit!!”
”Dude, relax, she would come around” Tom touches his shoulders
”Look, i know my friend isn’t being herself right now but…give her a little time okay Darren?”
He sighs seating down ”It’s just that this was supposed to be our first trip together as a couple and i was looking forward to spend time with her and all..now this happens and i expect that ..since we both want this, we fight to ensure it but..she is letting two girls get to her, girls i have no feelings for..and i stated it, you are my girl Anna, what else does she want?”
”Look man, lets go grab a drink okay, later, i am sure she would be alright and you both can talk okay, come” Tom turns him around and then leaves with Adam.
Tonia turns to Lucy ”You want to tell me what happened to your face?” she points at her inflamed chicks after she observed her rubbing it.
”Nothing Tonia, i think i would take a drink too” she says leaving the room.
Tonia sighs following her.

Anna wipes her tears and then seats on the bed.
She didn’t mean to hit her, but she had no right to talk to her like that. She was sorry.
She wipes her nose. She lays on the bed, closing her eyes.
This was a disaster, why did he show up and ruin her weekend like this, why did he show up and cause her to feel weak, why did he kiss her, the way he used to kiss her. why? Din’t she push him away, why did she savour his lips back.
She turns to her side.
Oh God, she can’t still have feelings for Daniel right? It can’t be the reason. But Lucy was right, she cannot have anything to do with Daniel, he was a married man.
But, she can’t stop her body from going weak being close to him. He knew how much she love him, and how he affected her so, and she thought all that was gone. It wasn’t. She still has feelings for Daniel.
But what about Darren?.
She turns to the other side of the bed.
He has been nothing but sweet, and caring, charming and really really nice to her. Yes, she likes Darren, alot infact but..with both of them standing there..there was no doubt she still had feelings for her ex.
But he was married, and Darren was her boyfriend and yet she could not publicly claim in infront of those girls .
Then she seats up.
But he lied to her about his ex, he didn’t tell her, what if he was some player, and then the girl..the other girl was all over him. He was probably some ladies man about to toil with her emotions and then leave her.
At least with Daniel, she knows his flaws and was used to his shortcomings. but how much does she know about Darren..really?
She drops her face into her hands.
”Oh God!” she mutters
This was supposed to be an amazing trip, between she and her boyfriend Darren, but she lets her ex, kiss her and now she hits her best-friend and now she is thinking of her ex instead of Darren. She cannot even bear to look at him in the eyes or even have a conversation with him .
