OH MY GOD. She's in college for all I know. Just 18 maybe. But he's kissing her like she's a grown woman. How could he do this? Why does he not feel guilty?
How can he just smash his lips onto hers without thinking of his family?
I don't want to see anymore. I've invaded a very personal matter that isn't mine to notice or check out. I start the car and spot Toni walking towards where I was parked with her arms crossed and shoulder bent.
Oh dear God. She saw me, I have to drive away but I can't she's already heading this way. Standing in front of me, she angrily motions me to roll down my window. So I obey.
She snaps out, "What the hell are you doing here?"
I feel guilty that I've done this. I really am. Even if Toni is full of anger and treats everyone as her servants, she really is more than just a mean girl.
Weekly I answer, without looking at her straight in the eye. "No...I didn't."
She knows I'm lying. Toni's face is going red. I could visualize the smoke coming out of her ears with full anger.
"Go ahead. Tell everyone what you saw."
If I was that type of person to do that; I would've. But I'm not and I won't.
She runs to her car and I drive away.
I understand now. Toni was too depressed and afraid to face the dangers in her life. And I guess Louis is the only one who saw that. And because he is, she seeks comfort from a person that understands her. That's why she couldn't let go of Louis. That's why Louis couldn't let her go too.
Toni wanted to reach out to a person she knows would never turn her away, and that's Louis. How could I barge in the middle of two friends just comforting each other?
