15: Surprises

Kylie:

I hated myself for getting this upset over Dave. I knew I shouldn’t hate myself. If anyone was deserving of my hatred in this moment it was Dave for doing this to me in the first place, but this was a night when a little self-loathing seemed like just the ticket.

I didn’t know how I was going to go back out there and face them. As soon as I got to my room the crying started, and I was having a hell of a time trying to get it under control. No matter how hard I tried the tears kept coming. I was overwhelmed. Dave being his usual dickhead self. Lisa sitting there watching Dave yelling at me. Everything that was going on with Lisa.

It was all too much and every time I thought I was close to getting over the sobs I thought about everything and it hit me again.

Damn it.

At least I managed to make it back to my room before the crying really got going. I’d lose all my credibility with those guys if they saw me letting Dave get to me like this. I tried not to let it show, but it was hard sometimes. It would prove every snide remark Dave had just made about girls not being able to handle a game.

I was really glad Lisa wasn’t here to see this. Talk about embarrassing.

I heard someone behind me. I let out a little scream that stopped the crying for a moment and wheeled around. And I immediately regretted that decision, because of course there was Lisa looking at me with my face all puffy from crying and my makeup probably running.

Damn it!

“I came in to see if you were okay and then I heard crying and I thought…”

Lisa seemed hesitant. Almost like she was worried about something. Did she think I’d be mad at her for coming in here? Then again I had just screamed and jumped when I heard her. I probably looked terrible on top of all that. I needed to reassure her. I patted the bed next to me without really thinking about it.

“It’s okay,” I said, trying to keep the crying under control. “I was just trying to regroup after… all that.”

Lisa sat down and I was suddenly painfully aware of her presence next to me. I could smell her perfume, something I almost recognized. I thought I could feel the warmth radiating off her body. I looked over and she was smiling, but she still seemed unsure. Hardly surprising since I was sitting next to her blubbering.

“Sorry,” I said. “I guess I shouldn’t let Dave get to me that much. You think I’d be used to it after dealing with him for so many years.”

“Hey, don’t worry about it,” Lisa said. “The jerk tried hitting on me all the way over here tonight. I don’t know how you’ve dealt with it for the past few years.”

“Yeah, well, as much as I hate to say this, you sort of get used to it after awhile.
