EXCERPT
Once at
the mall, Van picked up some last minute gifts for Nikki. After trying on a few
dresses,
she
found a knee-length, strapless coral dress. She purchased it and was off in
search of a pair
of
shoes. When she found the perfect pair of coral and silver heels, Van concluded
the trip to the
mall a
complete success.
Her
cellphone rang as she was leaving the shoe store. She dug around in her bag to
find it. With
her head
down and her steps brisk, she ran right into someone.
"I'm so sorry. I'm such a klutz," she said as she
looked up into the brown eyes of her first love.
She
gasped and took a step back, surveying him. His light brown hair was a little
shorter and
he was
built like a man now, not the boy she used to know. She stood frozen in place,
staring
at him.
This can't be happening. A tidal wave of emotions rushed through her at once.
Anger,
resentment, hatred, but mainly pain…so much
pain.
"Van."
"Lance? Oh my God!" She took another step back.
"How?"
"I-I talked to Nikki. She told me you would be here. I
needed to see you. When I heard what
happened…" He paused. "I knew I couldn't stay away
any longer. I'm so sorry."
The more
he talked, the more Van's anger flared. Who does he think he is? He left me!
Turned
his back
on me when he cut all ties!
"What exactly are you sorry for, Lance? That my husband
died or that you broke my heart all
those
years ago?" The words she spoke were full of acid. "You have a lot of
nerve just showing
up here
like nothing ever happened. Go away." She turned to
leave.
"Please, Van, just talk to me. Give me a chance to
explain," he begged as he reached for her
hand.
"Don't you dare touch me," she said through gritted
teeth, yanking her hand away. "What do you
want
from me?" She stared at him while plotting all the ways she was going to
torture Nikki for
her
betrayal.
She
seethed as he looked around. "Calm down, Van. People are starting to
stare. Please, can we
go
somewhere more private and talk? There is so much I need to tell
you."
"What could you possibly have to say to me that would
make up for what you did? I mean, I
know you
had to move, but you cut all ties with me. Like the three years we spent
together meant
nothing
to you, like I meant nothing to you. Damn you, Lance, you didn't even try to
make it
work."
"Please, Savannah. Give me a chance to
explain."
"Give me one reason why I
should."
"Because I still love you. I. Never. Stopped. I cut all
ties with you because I had to. Long
distance
relationships never work out. I was afraid you would wake up one day and resent
me.
Being
apart from you was killing me. I thought this way we would both be able to move
on. But
I was
wrong, I never was able to move on. I let the love I have for you consume me. I
wanted to
come
back sooner, but then I heard you'd gotten married. When I found out what had
happened, I
wanted
to rush here and be by your side, but I figured you would need some
time."
His
words shocked and confused her. After she took a few moments to process
everything,
she
shook her head. "I can't do this." She turned and walked away, then
stopped. "Go back to
wherever
it was you came from and leave me alone."
"Just go away, Lance. You're good at that," she
snarled before she walked away. She didn't dare
turn
around because looking at him as he begged her to give him a chance to explain
would
certainly
weaken her. Van needed to focus on how she was going to kill her so-called best
friend.
