Who Knew

Chapter 7

Dianna was upstairs furiously packing her things into her suitcase. Matt was here. He was here. He was here and kissing Lea. Dianna buried her face in her hands trying to get the image of the two out of her mind. Jonathan who was still outside on the front steps watched his friend closely. Lea had pushed Matthew back and appeared to start arguing with him. Jonathan could tell by his friends demeanor she wasn't happy. He headed back inside hoping to find Dianna.

"Matt, what the hell?"

"What? It's New Years Eve. I wanted my midnight kiss."

Lea shook her head, "Matt. Why are you here?"

Matthew sighed and shrugged, "I don't know...I guess I just wanted to give us one last push. See if we have a chance."

Lea looked down at the ground gently kicking the snow around, "Matt.."

"It's over isn't it..we are officially done?"

Lea met his eyes, "Yes. Yes we are. I'm really sorry."

He held his hand to stop her, "No it's okay. I think we both knew this was coming."

"Yeah I guess so."

He looked back at the cab then at Lea, "I guess I should get going then."

Lea took his hand and smiled softly, "Don't. Stay the night. You came all this way. Just drive back in the morning. We are having a fun party and you shouldn't miss out."

"You sure? It's not gonna bother you seeing me around?"

Lea shook her head, "We were friends before we became official. I still care about you and I can be civil, you know that."

He smiled and took her hand, "Then let's go enjoy the party. Thank you Lea." She smiled back at him and the two entered the cabin to get back to the fun. Neither noticed Dianna had glanced out the window seeing the two hand in hand entering the cabin. There was a soft knock on her door, Dianna sighed and hoped if she stayed quiet the person, whoever it was, would just go away.

"Dianna? Babe, can I come in?"

She bit her bottom lip and walked over opening the door to be greeted by Jonathan. "Yeah come on in."

"How you doing?"

"How do you think?"

He nodded, "Right, stupid question. Well I wanted to tell you that there's nothing to worry about. Lea and Matt are still over."

Dianna chuckled, "I'm sorry were we looking at the same two people kissing?"

"Yes...I saw it but! You didn't see what happened when you left."

"No, you didn't see them walking hand in hand back into the party and the cab driver dropping off his stuff."

"Wait what?" Jonathan was surprised, when he went to look for Dianna he thought Lea was just going to send Matthew packing.

"Yeah, he's staying the night. And I'm not sticking around for it."

"What do you mean?" Jonathan glanced down and at the bed and saw her suitcases. "You're leaving?"

Dianna sighed looking down at the ground, "Yeah...I can't deal with seeing them together. I can't deal with all these mixed emotions she keeps throwing me. I just sucks."

"But we still have one more day out here. Come on Di, you can't leave yet."

She sat on the bed contemplating what she should do, she knew leaving with a suitcase in her hand won't go unnoticed and she didn't want to deal with all the attention. "Look I'll leave in the morning but I'm not up for a party right now. Think I'll just stay up here for the remainder of the night."
