Cell Block Tango(D.N)

It's Complicated

Summer
I sit on the kitchen counter in the Nolan's home eating some cake. To be honest I only came for the food. I see David looking lost. "Hey Lost Boy!" He looks at me. "Hey...Summer. How's your injury?" "Numb. She's at the diner. She closes on Tuesday's and Thursdays." I inform. "Uh who?" He says confused. "Don't play dumb with me. Kiara." He chuckles nervously.

"That obvious huh?" "No. I totally just guessed you were looking for her and you proved it." I say sarcastically. "Go." "What?" "Go to her. I'll cover for you. Won't be that hard. This party sucks balls." I take a sip on my punch. "Language young lady." "Whatever, dad." I jump down and walk out the kitchen.

Kiara

I take silverware and cups off a table. I knock one off the table and as it's about to hit the ground someone catches it. I look up and see David. Oh god kill me.

"Did you not get the invite?" He asks. He stands up to his natural height. "David!" "Here." I take the cup back. "Thanks..." I walk around to the back and place them in the sink. He tries to follow me. "Employees only." I say pointing to the sign. He goes to the bars. "So I heard you resigned from the hospital. Was it me?" "Yes." I say a with zero hesitation. "Because of what I told you." I rinse the dishes off.

Then I grab a rag and walk around to the tables. "Yes." "About how I felt. About you." I turn around to go to another table when I see him infront of me. "Ye-" "Come on, don't tell me it's one sided." He states. "You're married. There should be no sides." I state. "What it should be doesn't matter. Whoever married Kathryn it's not me. I didn't choose her. I'm choosing you." He takes a step closer. "I know you felt it. I can tell." I huff.

"Look I know you think that we have a connection but a lot of people feel that way about someone who saved their life. So why not just leave it at that?" I suggest. I head to the back and wait for the door to chime.

I throw the rag in the water. I cup my face and let out a groan. "Maybe I should stop watching Vampire Diaries." I suggest. I start laughing. "What am I saying?"

I sit on the couch trying to get the remote to work. "COME ON!" "Ease up. Or that remotes gonna press charges." Emma states. "Stupid batteries."  It works and I click on Disney Junior. Specifically Imagination movers. Don't ask.

"This have anything to do with David stopping by?" I look at her as she sits next to me. "I saw him sulking away as I drove home." "We- he..." I sigh. "I know what your both just. And you did the right thing." "I know. No matter how bad I wanted to give in to those ocean blue eyes." I state. "He's still married. I know. I was just at the party." "What do I do?" I ask. "You need to turn off the cartoons and have a drink." She stands up and goes to my kitchen. I turn off my TV.

She comes back with two glasses and a bottle. "Here's the thing I don't get about relationships other than many that failed." She pours the liquid into the glass. "But generally speaking if you think something you wanna do is wrong..." She hands the glass to me. "It is." I down it. "Ah No shit. I'm not acting on it. I don't like lovey dovey. It never works out for me." I state. "Good. You gotta stay strong and he has to figure out his life." I nod.

"Wait how'd he know I was at the diner?" The door closes and I look and see Summer. "Night." She goes upstairs. Me and Emma glance at each other and laugh.

I work the counter at grannies when Dr Whale walks over to me. "I'm a hell of a doctor huh?" I look up at him and roll my eyes. "All you did was tend to a head injury that caused a coma and put him on life support for a few odd years and...then you lost him." I state. "No way he wakes up on someone else's watch." "Most coma patients do tend to wake up. Hello Whale." I say disinterested.

"So I heard the you resigned for the hospital." I inhale sharply and drop the plate on the table. "Does everyone seem to know what's going on in my life? Lemme guess and you think it was because of you?" He nods. "No. Whale, it was not because of you. I just got tired of being in that depressing environment. My mom's dead you know? She died in that hospital. Or did you just so happen to hear that too?" I ask annoyed.

"Another question why the hell would it be because of you?" "Well our date. I never called you after." He states. "Seriously? Bitch I didn't even wanna go out with you. I just wanted you to stop botherin me. Which is kind of what you're doing now." I say coldly. He stares at me in shock. "Have a good day." He leaves the cafe.

"Damn. That was cold." I look at Ruby. "Fuck him." I state. "Kiara. May I have a word?" "Son of a-" I see Regina. "No because the only time you ever talk to me is to say some thing mean hateful and a little racist." She sits anyway. "Sweet dear god help me now." I mutter.

"I wanted to talk to you about my friend Kathryn." "Kill me." I say dragging a hand down my face. "But more specifically I wanted to talk to you about her husband, David." She states. "God what?" I ask. "You don't belong together. He's not yours. He's taken. Find somebody else." "Maybe if I just close my eyes you'll go away." I close my eyes. I open one and groan when she's still there. "I didn't do anything." "Really? So he just up and left his wife on a whim?" My face changes to shock.

"He- he what?" I ask. "You don't know..." I shake my head. "Well I suspect you soon will. So listen carefully dear because it's in your best interest. Stay away. He's in a fragile state. He doesn't know who he is or what he's doing. And you're this close to wrecking multiple lives." I blink. "Are- are you- are you done?" I ask not caring. "Yes." "Good. I have work to do." I move away from the counter and walk away.

I look through my purse to find my phone realizing I left it inside. "Fuck!" "Potty mouth." I look over and see David. "You need to go." I state. "I needed to see you." I turn to my bike. "Please tell me you didn't leave Kathryn because of the stupid crush you have on me?" I ask. He doesn't say anything. "I am not a homewrecker." "You're not. It's me. I don't want to hurt her either."

"But the most hurtful thing to Kathryn would be me pretending. She needs someone to feel about her...the way I feel about you." I inhale sharply. I turn towards the door of the diner he grabs my wrist stopping me. "I am trying so hard to ignore you and do the right thing. Which is kinda big for me because if you knew the shit I've done you would not be standing here right now." I ramble.

"Why is that the right thing?" "Because you have a life. A wife. A house. A future." I answer. "With someone I didn't choose." "But you did. You just don't remember." I state. I walk back inside with him following me and I grab my phone off the counter.

"The man who chose that life whoever married Kathryn is gone. The man who wants someone else." I inhale sharply. I start shoving him out the diner not so subtly. "You need to leave me the hell alone." I say as we get outside. I take out my keys.

"Is that truly what you want?" I get on my bike and he stands infront of it with his hands on the steering gears. "Meet me tonight. Atleast think about it. I'll be at the bridge where you found me at 8:00. Think about it until then and then decide. If you don't show I'll know. And I'll never bother you again." "One can dream." He chuckles.

"But if you choose this if you choose us..." I hate how convincing this sounds. And how cute his eyes are and how hot his face is. He smiles at me. "You know where I'll be." He let's go of my bike and walks away.
