To Be Torn Between Two

Chapter 6: The Truth

It was a staring contest, that was the best way to describe it. Kelly was staring at Eve with a pain filled expression upon her face while Eve wore an evil smirk. Randy was glaring at John, annoyed that he had Kelly in his embrace. John glared back. Layla was just staring between the four of them with concern, she was cottoning onto the situation though, it didn't take a rocket scientist to work this out.

"Randy, how about we go and spend some quality time by the pool?" Eve suggested her smirk turning into a smile. Layla stared at Eve in disbelief, what kind of dirty game was she playing? Randy looked away from John to stare at Eve. Before anything else could happen, John, surprisingly turned his back and left the scene completely. Kelly stared after him with sad eyes but she did not follow him instead she walked in the completely opposite direction. Randy had to follow her because he was so worried, Kelly was on the brink of tears when he had hugged her. Was it something I said? Was it something I did? Randy thought to himself.

"I'll meet you by the pool in a second Eve" he said softly as he decided to follow Kelly into the house. Eve was about to follow Randy suspicion getting the better of her but Layla grabbed her arm.

"We need to talk" Layla stated as Eve turned around and waited for Layla to speak.

"What do you want to talk about?" Eve asked becoming a little impatient.

"Listen here Eve, I don't know what you're up to..." Layla said with a deadly glare as Eve chuckled slightly.

"I'm not up to anything Layla I'm just being me" Eve countered as Layla scoffed to herself.

"Don't give me that crap, whatever you're up to I will figure it out" Layla said with serious expression appearing upon her face.

"Is that supposed to be a threat?" Eve asked with an arrogant laugh. Layla's face was serious.

"I'm just saying that someone might cotton onto the situation faster than you think" Layla answered with a small smirk. Eve stared at Layla and then gave her a nod with that smirk of hers still evident on her face. "Just watch yourself Torres."

"I will" Eve replied smugly before wandering off to go and find Randy.

Randy finally caught up with Kelly and found her sitting inside on the couch, her head was buried in her hands. He crouched down before her placing a hand on her knee. "Kelly-" before he could finish his sentence Kelly stared at him, tears still welling up in her eyes.

"Randy, why are you here? Why did you follow me? Can't you see I want to be alone?" Kelly snapped at him. Randy sighed and placed his hand on top of hers. What was he doing? He knew this was wrong. He was with Eve and he shouldn't be alone with Kelly, it felt so wrong but at the same time he felt as if he was doing the right thing.

"I am worried about you. You have this grief stricken look on your face and-" Kelly interrupted him again.

"I'm fine Randy." A silence fell between the two. Randy could tell she wasn't fine.

"You're never fine..." Randy mumbled to himself. Kelly stared at him, wishing he would just leave before Eve found them, then all hell would break loose. "The reason, why I followed you here was because, I wanted to apologize for ignoring you earlier today" he stated looking down at the floor. "I just…" he sighed deciding to finally look up at Kelly. "I just have a lot of thinking to do. There's a lot on my mind, you know?" Randy asked, staring into Kelly's ocean blue eyes.

"That's ok Randy, I forgive you" Kelly answered quickly. Randy felt some sort of relief, thankfully Kelly wasn't mad at him for his behaviour earlier. Kelly stared back down at the floor but Randy lifted her chin and gently cupped her face with his left hand.
