Will broken hearts find their way back to each other?

14

(Lucy's POV):

I had a sleepless night. Tossing and turning. Keira was on my mind. Ona was on my mind. And football was on my mind. I can't catch a break. I've woken up especially early as I have to complete something. I have to talk to Ona and get everything off my chest. Then it's just one less thing off of my plate.

I told Ona to meet me in a park because if things get heated, I don't want to be arguing in a cafe or restaurant. Obviously we won't go in the public bit, as such, instead we will try find somewhere private.

She was late. Late to something that was so important to me.

She just doesn't know it yet.

"What took you so long?" I question.

"Are you not even going to say hi to me darling?" She says, leaning in for a hug.

I back away, trying to avoid it. No hug from me.

I don't know if we will ever share one again.

"So...why am I here?" Ona asks, now folding her arms.

"I need to talk to you Ona. No silly business. Just me and you." I reply.

"Okay. So a bit off topic.. but what happened to your arm? Are you okay mi amor?"

"Just an accident in the gym. Let's not get off track here." I'm not in the mood. I want to do this and get out. Short and sweet.

"Now I want you to answer me honestly. Don't make any stupid excuses. Just tell me." I say.

She looks to the floor. I think she knows what's coming.

"Did you hit Keira?"

"Yes..but..." Ona stutters.

"Don't give me any stupid fucking excuses Ona. Be straight with me. Tell me the truth. Don't lie to me."

"Okay, I did. But I was only protecting you." She says.

I just roll my eyes. I don't have time for this.

"Please trust me baby." She pleads.

"Don't fucking call me that."

"Just hear me out. Georgia told me to." She mentions shyly.

"She what??"

"She said that you guys were having a few drinks, things got heated, and..well.. she told me about it. But trust me, she was only trying to help you."

"If she was trying to help me.. why the fuck are you here? And why did you hit her? Did Georgia tell you to do that or something..."

"No. It was all on my terms."

"You have made such a fucking mess Ona."

I just look to the floor. I don't think I can look at her really.

"I just wanted to protect you. I knew  you both were angry and I didn't want anything to happen to you. I just hit her because I was angry. It wasn't my intention to hit her."

My eyes instantly dart up from off of the floor. Why did she hit her then??

"Lucy... I'm not like that. I would never hit anyone. I would never hit you..baby." She says.

"I-I... I just don't understand...forget me, why did you hit her Ona? You say you don't hit anyone, but why would you hit her?"

I'm confused. I'm hurt. I just want answers. I want a reason.

I want the truth.

"Well..she brought..erm..us into the conversation."

She looks to the floor. I can't help but stare at her and to just think what I did wrong to deserve this.

"Spit it out Ona. Fucking hell."

She walks closer to me, our bodies inches apart.

"STOP FUCKING TELLING ME TO HURRY UP. I'm trying Lucy. Don't you think this is hard for me too? I can see it in your fucking eyes. It's the same eyes you came to me with, after Keira kicked you out. I can fucking see it Lucy. You are tied between us both. You don't know who to choose."

"And so what if I am? You make it fucking impossible for me. You travel god knows how many hours just to... what, protect me? Don't give me that fucking bullshit then turn it on me. Just tell me Ona. What did she say to make you so angry?"

"She called you names. So.. I hit her. It was just a warning. I never wanted it to go that far."

"What did she call me?"

"She said you were a cheating piece of shit, who should never be allowed to love again. Also, that you had broken her heart, all for some worthless sex."

"She said that?" I reply.

I don't really know how to feel.

"Yeah and Leah agreed with her. She said 'Lucy is nothing to me.' So it wasn't just Keira."

Oh.

"Leah said that as well?"

She just nods.

Leah has been there for me. She's been so kind to me. Can this be true?

"Okay. I've got my answer now. I am going to leave now. Thank you for your time." I say. I'm trying not to cry right now.

I think I've just lost my two best friends.

"Wait..." she grabs my wrist and turns me around.

"Me or her Lucy?" She says hesitantly waiting for an answer.

"You." I say. No emotion. No smile. I can't go back to Keira now. She hates me. Leah hates me.

She pulls me in and kisses me. I don't want to, but I need it. I need to escape my pain.

"I'm glad you came around mi amor." She kisses me again and begins to walk away.

Great. What am I going to do now??

———

Time for the match I guess. I'm not playing as well so that's great!!

I trudge back to the hotel. I'm going to be met by at least one of them, so I have no room to express my feelings.

"Hey Lucy! Where have you been? We have the match soon." Leah says whilst smiling.

"Just went for a walk." I reply.

I walk into the bathroom and get into the shower. I need space.

As I'm lying under the water, I just take a moment to think about Leah and Keira.

Firstly, me and keira practically had sex in the changing room and she came back for more the next day. And yes, I know she isn't speaking to me now, but we were close again. We were just like the old days. So.. did she like me in that moment... or was I being used for something she needed, in this case being sex.

And then Leah. Shes been there for me with my recovery, she's been so nice to me. An amazing friend to be honest. Was it all fake? Was she just trying to be nice to shut me up?

Fuck. I don't know. This is all a mess.
