Make You Believe

47. How Could You?

Later on, Darlyn finds Alfonso at the grocery store by himself. After he paid his groceries, she walked up to him and instantly slapped him. "How could you?" She stood before him, with her eyebrows down, her eyes narrowed, and her arms crossed, breathing somewhat heavy.

"Ow! What was that for?"

"You know why." He squinted his eyes trying to figure out what she meant. "I know you and Courtney took my wallet."

"What makes you say that?" He wiped his cheek in pain as he looked back at her.

"I heard you two speaking about it the other day..." Alfonso wasn't the brightest guy so he kept on wondering where she saw them. Darlyn rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "At the sushi place."

"Oh, that place, ha ha ha." He ended it with a weird laugh. She stood there in the same position waiting for an answer. "Look it was all Courtney's idea, I had no intention on going through your stuff." Darlyn's face lit up a bit after hearing that. "I'm really sorry for not stopping her." He still had those adorable puppy dog eyes that caused her to forgive him.

"Are you sure it was all Courtney?"

"I'm positive," he held his hand up as he said that, kind of like if he was confessing his sins to the church.

"Fine!" They both stared at each other for a bit. Darlyn still wondered what it is that she saw in him back then.

"Wanna grab some dinner? My treat." He smiled, showing off his shiny, green eyes.

"No thanks! In fact, I don't trust you or your sister..."

Alfonso hesitates, "But she's not..."

"Did I make myself clear?" Darlyn had her right pointer finger up, in between both of them.

"Yes mam..." He sighs while holding the grocery bags.

"Okay then, I gotta go. Bye Alfonso."

"Bye Darlyn." After she was a few feet from him, he whispers 'I miss you', as she got further away from him.

Darlyn ends up trying to process what she just heard. She then sees Courtney outdoors with some shopping bags. She knew that they were on tight budget, so there was no way that she would randomly have money to buy clothes and stuff.

She confronts her, "Courtney!"

"Oh, hey Darlyn. How's your day so..."

"Far? It's been just great." Darlyn was being sarcastic. "Why did you steal my wallet?"

"What? I didn't..."

"Don't play dumb with me... You know, unless that's how you really are," Darlyn started to laugh a bit.

"Hey, that's not nice!"

"Neither is stealing a wallet!"

"Fine, fine, I did take it."

She stayed quiet and gave her an ugly, nasty, mad face. "There is no way that I am getting near you guys again. I just told Alfonso that I cannot trust him or you either. Especially with you being his sister!" She was about to walk away.

But Courtney couldn't take it anymore so she said out loud, "I am not his sister!" Darlyn turns back around with a concerned face.

"What      do       you      mean?" She left a gap space in between each word.

"I mean, I'm not his sister. I'm actually his... friend." She tries to say it as casual as possible.

"So, you guys lied to me?"

"I was going to tell you, but Alfonso refused to let you know."

"Why is that?" She lifted her eyebrows as she stared at Courtney's annoyed face.

"That's for Alfonso to tell you and for you to find out." Courtney pointed at Darlyn's face. Darlyn slapped that manicured finger out of her face.

"Ugh! I'm so sick of you and Alfonso." She turned around and was going to walk away, until...

"Good, cuz he never wanted you anyway!" Courtney laughed a bit.

Instead of being the smart girl, Darlyn turned and replied, "Yes he did! He wanted me everyday that we were together. Even while I rehearsed for my audition, daily!" She kept on raising her voice on every line.

"Yeah, so." Courtney walked towards her and then around her back as she said, "He got so lonely that he actually found someone else." She smiled so big that it was almost a laugh.

"What?" Now Darlyn was even more furious. "How would you know anyways?"

"Because..."

"Because why? Did you go to the same school as us?"

"Yes I did. That's why I know..."

"Who was it? TELL ME?!!!"

"Na-ah-ah, why do you need to know? Aren't you happy with your Logan?"

"Yes! But still I..."

"Look, you want to know who? Ask him yourself!" She walks away and leaves Darlyn on the sidewalk extremely furious...
