FRIENDS TO LOVER

DANCE

***ALENA’S P.O.V***

I wiped my tears to make myself look presentable and then went out. I saw Liam and then I changed my gaze and saw Drew. I smiled at him and I went to him.

“Hope you are enjoying this party,” he asked. I smiled at him and said,

“Yeah, I never came to places like this.”

“It was pretty clear by the way you were looking at the people. It seems exhausting to you, right?”

“It’s not like that, it’s just that sometimes you don’t get what you want or maybe you deserve,” I said. I am still upset that he did that to me. I never thought that he would do something like that.

“Talking about your credits that she took away,” he said. I looked at him with a question in my face.

“How do you know about that?” I asked him. I mean no one knew about it. How come he knew about this?

“When I came to your house I saw the designs, then Chris told me that you were working on it day and night to get Mr.William’s offer for your company and you got them.”

He knows it and he understands what it means for me, but why not him? We have been friends since school. We grew up together and now, just like that, he is not my Liam.

“Thanks, but still I don’t know how come he gave her the credit.”

“When someone is giving you what you want completely, then it’s obvious she is giving Liam some good time. In the end, she is only getting these perks.”

No, this can’t happen. I know my Liam. This can never be the scene. He could never do such a thing just for s*x.

“I don’t think I have known him for a long time. He is not like that.”

I said because I just know how Liam is. He is just not different. People think he is just completely different, he is not like that.

“Then you tell me why he did something like that to his best friend? Do you have any reason not?”

What did he do because of that? No, I still don’t think that that can be the reason could “Foregt it now, stop thinking about it. come let’s have a dance.”

Drew asks me if I was not in a mood for dancing. First he chose to bring her there and then all credit to her.

“I am not in a mood, sorry.”

“Comon don’t act like this, let’s have a dance in common.” He said, then I looked at him with questions in my face.

“OK.” I said, then you took his hand. We both made our way to the dance floor and started to dance. I felt a spark as he touched my waist. I never felt anything like that.

“You are a nice dancer.” While looking into his eyes at that moment, I just wanted to let all my anger go because it’s just of no use at all, even if I am shouting or being angry. It will not be worth it.

“Now someone has all her focus here good going.”

“Sometimes you have to do that.” I said, then we both laughed at it as they both had fun and then made our way off of the dance floor. I was just laughing at him. He is fun to talk to.

“You are nice.” He looked at me with a smile as I said what I did. I said something wrong. No, I didn’t.

“You are great. I had a great dance until you stood on my feet and never had such a great dance.”

“Ohh you just got lucky today.” I said as we both made our way to the parking lot. We were both just talking and laughing when I stopped on my track as I saw them in the car.

“What happened, Alena?” He asked as I was not moving, it's like I am frozen now and it hurts to see that he is with that one. He looked in the direction I was looking.

“Alena, I think we should go.” Tears were flowing from my eyes. Liam He can. I don’t want her now.

I didn’t say anything, just made my way to the car and settled down there.

He gave me his handkerchief. I didn’t take it. I was just crying. Even if I tried not to, I was not able to help with it at all.

He came and then wiped it himself. “I am fine.”

I said while crying, no I am not seeing him with her" doesn’t make me feel fine at all. “" Is it just the reason that he gave her the credit or is it also that the one you loved is now with someone else?”

I looked at him with anger. “And what made you think that?”

I said in anger, it’s just not a good idea that people think that I am in love with him. Yes, I am, but he can’t even see it at all.

“It’s in your tears that say all everything, your tears are saying it all and, for your well being, let me just tell you that hurting yourself like this is not a great option at all.”

He said while wiping my tears, I held his hand. Then he took the handkerchief from him. “I can do it myself, Chris told you to bring me here. That’s it. If you can’t drop me, then I will go myself.”

I said in anger," I am just not in a mood to do any sort of bullshit just not even a bit at all. This is just not something that I want right now at all.

“Yeah.” started to drive the car. I looked out of the window with tears. Why is this happening to me at all? Why is he just someone else now?

I couldn’t stop thinking about it all the way back home. The car stopped, the car stopped. I opened the door and went out. I went back to my room. On my way, Chris came.

“So how was the party?” Chris asked me, then he made me look at him.

“Good.” He got angry as he saw tears in my eyes.

“What happened to you, did Drew, how dare you?” He shouted, saying when Drew walked in he went to him and punched him. I went there and stopped him.

“What is this behaviour, Chris? He has not done anything and, even if he did, you can’t punch someone like that.” I said while I was still holding his hand.

“I think you are my responsibility and I can’t see you in pain.”

“I am an adult now, Chris, I know what I want and what I want. I am not a kid anymore, so please stop treating me as one.” I said while I looked at Drew and Mummer sorry, then made my way to my room.

I closed the door and sat on the floor. I saw him with someone else. He had just had casualties before and he only told me about each and every one I have had affected like that. Why now am I just constantly asking this?

Why do I now feel that it’s not just a friendship, it’s more than that? I am scared. I am scared that I will lose him. I don’t want that at all. I want him to be with me. He can’t be with someone else?

I lay down in the bed while still thinking about him. I woke up as my alarm rang. I got up from bed and got ready.

I looked at myself in the mirror. Great, I should go now. I said as I went down the stairs. Thank god no one was there.

I made my way to the office, and called Lily inside. I had the letter in my hand. Now this is what’s gonna happen. It’s clear I am not gonna wait any more.

“Yes mom you called me.” She said with a smile on her face. I hate even looking at her. I just hate her a lot. I don’t like her at all.

“This is for you,” I said, and gave her the letter. She took it from me and then read it.

“Mam, but why, what have I done to that mam? Why are you doing this to me?’’ I looked at him with anger in my eyes.

“Because I don’t want a w***e like you in my office, this is a work place not making out place go and find some other place for that stuff.”

“Mam, please, mark, I do need this job please mam.” She was begging me.

“Go or I will try the guards to throw you out. Do you want me to do that?” I said to her clearly.

She turned and then left. She was not gonna be there.
