To Be Torn Between Two

Chapter 9: Was It Worth It?

A knock sounded at the door and Randy wearily got up to answer it. He was expecting Eve but when he opened the door he felt slightly crestfallen. There stood Cody, with his bag fully packed and ready to get on the road. "Oh it's you..." Randy muttered.

"Were you expecting someone else?" Cody asked with a smirk causing Randy to roll his eyes in annoyance.

"I thought you were Eve" Randy sighed slumping back down on the bed as he buried his head in his hands. "Who am I kidding she will never want to talk to me."

"Randy, you're in love with her. I'm sure she will forgive you" Cody reassured.

"You don't understand Cody. I think I'm in love with someone else" Randy met his shocked expression.

"Someone else? Like...like...Kelly?" Cody answered as Randy nodded.

"I don't want to hurt Eve, that was never on my agenda. I love her but I...I'm in love with two people" Randy explained.

"If you love two people at the same time, choose the second one. Because if you truly loved the first one, you wouldn't love another."

"Are you seriously using that quote on me?" Randy asked with a smirk of his own now. Cody chuckled to himself as he nodded his head reluctantly.

"Randy if you're in love with Kelly you're going to have to prove it to her because if you don't you will lose her" Cody stated seriously.

"I know..." Randy replied standing up with an unreadable expression on his face.

"Where are you going?" Cody asked as he watched Randy make his way to the door. "I'm doing something, I should have done a long time ago...this is going to be one of the hardest things I've ever done"As Randy said his goodbyes to Cody, he grabbed his packed suitcase and wheeled it out to the corridor. Cody had told him that he was travelling with Kelly, Layla and Eve, which he thought would be interesting, considering the hatred between Kelly and Eve. Randy began to make his way to the elevator but a familiar voice caused him to turn around.

"You seem happy" Eve stated causing Randy to stop dead in his tracks. It just had to be her didn't it. He turned around to face her.

"Eve...hey..." he mumbled causing Eve to frown at him.

"You seem to be over our fight" Eve managed to say as she held back her tears.

"Some of the things you said last night were right. I am in love with someone else" Randy sighed and took her hands in his own. "Eve, listen to me... I never wanted to hurt you but I truly believe I have to be honest to you and to myself" Randy finished as Eve shoved him away.

"So you admit it? You're in love with that...that skank!" Eve yelled completely incredulous.

"Eve, I didn't say that!" Randy fired back, as he brought a hand to his mouth.

"You didn't have to!" Eve snapped back at him.

"Eve, if you love two people at the same time, choose the second one. Because if you truly loved the first one, you wouldn't love another" Randy repeated Cody's words from earlier.

"You're unbelievable! We've been together for two years and you're basically breaking up with me by using some Johnny Depp quote!" Eve yelled at Randy who was pinching the bridge of his nose. "So you're just going to throw two years away?"

"Yes...I'm sorry Eve" Randy replied with a solemn expression upon his face.

"I can't believe you! I love you and you...you come out here and tell me you're in love with Kelly..." Eve choked out.
