Just Let Go

Darcy

Darcy

I shut the door and listened to Hudson rumble off down the road. Still in something of a state of shock over tonight I turn to head into the kitchen and grab a cold drink..scrap that, a strong drink when Caras voice bellows from upstairs..

"Nope forget the kitchen D...you better have your bum on my fucking bed in thirty seconds or less and tell me what the fuck got into you tonight, and more importantly, what happened with the honey puff monster" I rolled my eyes knowing I wasn't getting out of this one. I did a complete one eighty tonight I know that, with no explanation I knew it would bother her more than she would let on. I could make it easier though,

"I was grabbing a bottle of wine if you must know my beady eyed friend up there..now am I grabbing a second glass or not?" Her four second pause showed me I had won the battle, but I knew I was gonna lose the war like a bitch,

"I will give you a ten second kitchen detour head-start for wine. But hurry the fuck up!"

Yep definitely not won the war. I grabbed the rose out of the fridge and two glasses rom the cupboard and made my way up to the dragons fucking lair.

I walked into Caras room to find her sitting against her headboard texting someone..who the fuck would she be texting at 3am?

"Who's that?" I asked genuinely curious as I pour two glasses,

"Erm, I think you'll find I'm asking the fucking questions he- you look different Darcy?" Shit..how the fuck does this girl know me so well. I bite down on my smile..

"What do you mean different?" Caras chocolate brown eye were scanning my face in rapid time, I know my eyes are always my give away so I look down at my glass that's become sure interesting. Her gasp brought me back into the land of the living,

"You slept with him, didn't you Darcy?" I looked up to find worry stricken on my friends face.

"I thought you'd be something of fucking pleased for me Cara, you know it's a big step for me?" I was confused by her expression, but as it turned from worry to rage, I knew id crossed a line.

"Don't you fucking dare Darcy. Yes I'm worried, yes I'm nervous. You know why? Because I was the one who got called by the hospital that day, that fucking day. I was the one who wiped the dried blood from around your face. I was the one who got told of your condition by the doctors. I had to listen to them run through a list, a fucking list that went on for two pages of all your injuries. Broken ribs, broken jaw, internal bruising..I remember every single one. So excuse me for being a tad on the concerned side now you've finally let someone other then me and the W's in." Well shit..Caras eyes are glaring at me from where she's sat making me feel like a scolded child, and so I should. She continues as she stands in front of me,

"So don't you dare question my hesitancy with this guy. I won't stop you from moving on, I want to help and that's all I've ever wanted. But I will NOT watch you be broken down again, my heart couldn't bare it and neither could yours. So start talking and tell me why I can let my guard down.." I only had one answer,

"Because I have." I sink my head down between my knees and let the tears fall. I hear Cara sigh and see her bend to her knees to catch my line of vision,

"I'm glad your mascara has already run from the evident steamy session with Hudson as this rug is fucking new you know..." I giggle and launch myself into my best friends arms and we fall into a mess on the floor.

"Cara I'm sor-" She covers my mouth before I can finish..

"Don't apologise D, just talk to me about what your feeling so I'm not running around like a mad woman worrying about you when you're quite happy getting banged god knows where. You know you have my moral support always..even though I have questionable morals!" Which reminded me, I poured us both another glass,

"Speaking of questionable morals...how did your night go with Blake?" Shit..Cara was blushing, I knew it didn't take much but she was full on red, so clearly she had a good night.

"Darcy he was fucking amazing. He took me to some new bar down Main Street and we just danced and laughed and talked. I'm glad we chased him off that time as he said he wouldn't have come back otherwise!!" We both sighed and lugged down our wine. Crawling into bed together we drifted off quietly, things were on the up for us both, and for the first time in forever I fell asleep with a smile plastered on my face.
