MAKING HIM MINE

Broken

chapter 8

After drinking throughout the night Lana excused herself to visit the washroom. It was empty when she entered, when she came out after peeing she saw the woman who had been staring at her Soo much s he e was washing her hand , Lana decided to ignore her and just wash her hand and leave but, it seemed the woman had other plans.

"I'm Britney" she introduced herself.

"Okay I'm Lana, Lana Preston, have we met before" Lana answered.

"No we haven't but I know Derrick "

Britney went on.

It was the first time Lana had heard someone mention Derrick's name like that so she wondered what relationship they had.

"Are you business partners" she asked.

"No,I went to business school with Derrick, he was my first boyfriend" Britney said staring directly at Lana.

"Okay" Lana responded already heading to the door, she was scared of what she would hear if she stayed longer and besides Derrick's school days were over a long time ago it didn't mean anything but Britney wasn't done even though Lana was walking away she continued to speak

"After many years I met Derrick again a few months ago in Miami, it seemed he wanted some alone time to think and he didn't look happy so I wanted to help him relax, I didn't mean for us to end up that way"

"What way" Lana turned around sharply.

"One weekend we drank too much and we made out and ended in my hotel room".

Lana was shocked, she felt like her heart was being squeezed, her breathing became faster as she tried to prevent her tears from falling but Britney wasn't done.

"Look Lana I know you don't love Derrick and he doesn't love you, so why don't you leave him Soo that people who truly love him can come into his life......"

That was it Lana couldn't listen to her anymore she left , she walked as fast as she could she wanted to be away from Britney and away from Derrick because she didn't want them to see her cry, to see her weak.

She felt stupid for thinking things could work out, Derrick had probably been with other women because the old Lana hated him Soo much. She soon left the building and was now walking on the streets, she didn't know where she was going but at least she was away from him. The tears she had been trying to hold back poured without any limit and now she didn't want to hold back.

After pouring her heart out in the streets she called Mel to come pick her up, when she came Lana was sitting by the road her tears had all dried up and she was just there staring into space.

"Lana, when did you leave?, what's wrong is everything okay why are you sitting there"

Lana just got up and sat in the car, it seemed she wasn't ready to talk.

"Fine if you won't talk I'll just take you home..."

"No, I'll crash in your car tonight "

"You can't sleep in the car, Lana don't be like that, it's dangerous" when she looked at Lana it clear she wasn't even Listening to her, she sighed and drove, when she got close to the building where the party was being held she stopped and just sat in silence with her.

..........

Back at the party, Derrick was looking for Lana because she hadn't been back since she went to the washroom, he even asked some women to find out if she was there but she wasn't.

He thought maybe she had left but how could she do that without informing him, even though they hadn't come together she could at least be considerate.

He almost stopped searching when Britney walked up to him "Hey"

Derrick didn't respond he began to walk away when she said "I told her"

Derrick stopped walking "What did you tell her"

"All about Miami and our past" she said looking at him.

Derrick eyes became cold " You crossed the line Britney, nothing happened that night and you know it"

Britney let out a flat laugh, "I crossed the line? I am helping you out of this bondage you have with her, can't you see that if you go on staying with her you will never be happy. I love you Derrick, and you love......"

Derrick didn't wait for her to finish, he left angrily, his relationship with Lana wasn't that strong and that's why he didn't tell her about happened in Miami, he thought she wouldn't mind but after tonight she had proved that she really wanted to change and he planned on telling her himself but Britney had to ruin things.

He asked some people if they had seen her and a few confirmed that they had seen her go out in a rush.

Just as he was stepping out to search for her his personal assistant came to him

"Sir, I got a call from Miss Lana's secretary...."

"Where is she" Derrick asked in haste.
