To Be Torn Between Two

Chapter 8: Revelations

She didn't know whether following Randy up the stairs was the smartest idea but she needed to finally confront him about everything that happened between them. She needed to know whether or not Randy had feelings for her. Knowing Eve wasn't around, she knew this was her chance to talk to Randy. She opened the door and found Randy lying down, his hands covering his face. Shutting the door behind her, she stared at Randy for brief moment.

"Randy" she began as he froze completely aware of who was in the room with him.

"What are you doing here? Why did you follow me?" he asked her coldly, keeping the conversation short but certainly not sweet.

"Randy we have to talk about a lot of things" Kelly answered as she moved towards him but Randy stood up and backed away from her.

"Talk about what? There's nothing to talk about Kelly" he added as Kelly ran a hand through her hair.

"There's nothing to talk about? Let's talk about this" Kelly choked out. "Why did you kiss me earlier?" Kelly's voice cracked slightly."I don't understand your actions, one minute you are kind and caring and the next you treat me as if I don't exist" Kelly answered, tears becoming evident in her eyes. She seemed so upset by the situation and Randy just wanted to end the conversation before it became too emotional for the both of them.

"I don't know why, ok? Can't you just leave me alone?" he snapped back at her. He didn't even understand his own actions so how could he possibly answer the question? Kelly blinked away her tears as Randy sighed. "You and Eve are going to be the death of me" he grumbled as Kelly shot him a glare. "I care about you Kelly, I care about Eve I don't want to hurt either of you."

"You care about me? Is that why you sit around and flirt with Eve, 24/7?" Kelly asked, hurt evident in her voice "It pains me to see you every day with..." Kelly trailed off, wiping away her tears. She couldn't even bring herself to say Eve's name.

"With Eve?" he finished for her. "Eve's my girlfriend Kelly what do you expect me to do? Flush my two year relationship down the toliet?" Randy asked sadness becoming evident in his eyes. "I need to think things through" he said pursing his lips together. A silence fell between the two of them. "I just need some time to work out my feelings."

"Your feelings? What about my feelings? Kelly asked, staring into his icy blue eyes.

"What about your feelings?" Randy answered a little too harshly. He regretted his words the minute they had slipped out of his mouth.

"This was never meant to happen. I was never supposed to fall in love with you" Kelly cried as Randy met her tear filled gaze. "I never wanted to admit that I liked you because I knew you were off limits, I knew you had a girlfriend. I tried so hard to stop myself from falling for you but I couldn't" Kelly stated tears welling up in her eyes. He saw every single emotion that crossed her face and her eyes were full of anguish and sadness. He felt his heart sink at her revelation. He had just had a fight with his girlfriend, so many different things were running through his mind, the last thing he wanted was to have a fight with Kelly.

"Kelly, I want you to know that I really, truly, do care about you but I need time to think through everything. I need to work out my feelings towards you...towards Eve." I need to work out who I'm going to fight for he added silently. Kelly pinched the bridge her nose.

"Do you want to know something about Eve, Randy?" Randy looked at her, wondering what she was on about. "She's been giving me such a hard time because she knows I like you. She flirts with you because she enjoys watching me suffer. I'm sick of her mind games. I'm sick of her threatening me. I just... I just hate her" Kelly finally just cracked. Randy was completely taken aback by her revelation. Endless amount of tears escaped her blue eyes as a silence fell between the two of them again. The stray tears flowed down Kelly's cheeks and it broke Randy's heart to see his friend in such a distressed manner. He stepped towards her and pulled her into a tight hug.
