Love Hurts (Urban Fiction) Part 3

Chapter 28 Dria

When I opened the door and noticed Kaidyn on the other side, I tensed up. Honestly, I was tired of explaining the same story over and over, because it never helped. We were too old to be bickering over something from the past. Either we were going to find move on and be women about it, or leave our friendship in the past, along with the incident.

"Kaidyn I-"

"I'm not here to badger you."

"Well, what is it?"

She invited herself in, moving past me. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You said you weren't here to badger me."

"Dandria, we've been best friends since grade school and you kept something like that from me? If I would have known about you two, I never would have had sex with him. You don't even understand how bad I wish I could just erase him."

I stood there, listening as she continued. Her expression revealed frustration and hurt, even while she tried speaking calmly.

"Why did you do it?"

"Cam and I had broken up, I was vulnerable, Jah was there.."

"And you got pregnant?"

"It was a mistake. One of the worst mistakes of my life. Kaidyn, you know I would never do anything to hurt you intentionally."

"Well you did... and I want you to know that I would never do anything like that to you!"

"That's the difference between you and I." I signed, plopping down on the cushioned couch. "I'm not like you. I don't have a big heart and I'm selfish. Kaidyn, the only thing I ever wanted was love, real love. Other than you, Chantel, and Danielle, I've never had it. All through school, you had your grandmother, Chantel had her parents, and who did I have? A horrible ass excuse for a mother. When I got with Cameron, I felt like he actually loved me, and I did everything I could to keep him. When he broke up with me, I was crushed, looking for any guy to help me over him. The love I couldn't get from my mom, I tried to find it in men. That's why I had sex with Jah, to ease my hurt. I'm no different than her, letting all of these men use me and leave me. Having sex with him was selfish and a huge mistake. I'll never hurt you like that again."

She crossed her arms and took a seat beside me, expressing the same emotion as I was.

"I have been little difficult about the situation. Dria, I only put up with Jah because I didn't want Daniel rubbing Jelly in my face. I want to move on from all of this. No more secrets." She sighed heavily. "Just don't fuck Daniel, or I'll kill you."

I laughed with relief and embarrassment all in one, happy to have my friend back.

"No, I'm serious." She spoke eyeing me and speaking sternly.

I nodded while holding back my laugh. "I won't!"

The next night, I rolled over and pulled the sheets away from my body, when waking up in sweat. Rising from the bed, I went to adjust the temperature and noticed Danielle's door slightly ajar. My eyebrows furrowed as I peeped in her room, she was gone.

It was one in the morning and Danielle was no where to be found. I grabbed my keys and headed out of the door to find her. It seemed like was burning gallons of gas, but I had only been out a few minutes. The entire situation had me on edge. Passing by a few rural areas, I noticed a group of teenaged boys. I kept driving until I realized Danielle was hinding behind a guy to avoid being caught. Turning onto the next street, I came back to the familiar destination and parked my car in front of the crowd. I didn't want to embarrass her in front of her peers, but I figured her reputation was already tarnished. "Danielle, get in the fucking car!" I barked, piercing through the intoxicated teens.
