Someday (A.K.A. Today)

Ch. 2: Cheaters Can’t Be Choosers

I slowly walked to Todd’s house. It wasn’t that that was my original destination, or that I even came up with the idea on the way. No, I just walked to try to get away from my father and the impending doom ahead of me.

I mean, I’ve known Prince William my whole life, and we’ve been mortal enemies since forever. We’d always been trying to best the other in whatever we were doing, whether it be a race to who could get to bed first, or a complex poker game. Whatever the bet, we’d race to be the first in every challenge, always wanting to show the other who was the best, always striving to throw it in each other’s faces when we won.

Yep, this walk down memory lane isn’t making me feel any better about my impending nuptials.

Hmm, I wonder what William thinks of it?

I suddenly smiled, the idea of his misery making me blissfully happy for a moment. Until, that is, I remembered that he would be making my life miserable, too.

This is when I finally looked up and noticed where I was. Todd’s house was right in front of me, sitting there perfectly. A little haven for me to hide. I smiled to myself and made my way to the front door.

I didn’t notice the red convertible across the street.

I kept walking up the walk, studying the house in front of me, trying to distract myself. Todd wasn’t rich. But he was upper middle class. His house was nice, three-story, with a six-bedroom, and four-bathroom layout.

I knocked on the door. Almost instantly, Todd’s mother answered the door. Her smiling, perfect, Stepford wife face looking down at me happily.

“Hello, Raven! It’s…great to see you. Well, my son is upstairs right now with his study partner. You can go on up if you want.”

She was smirking at me slightly. Mrs.Grahams never had liked me. She didn’t think I was good enough, rich enough for her son. Of course, she didn’t know I was beyond rich, not to mention an English Lady. But Mrs. Grahams was hoping that Christina and Todd got back together. She thought that they were meant for each other.

I smiled at her, then went up the stairs, heading towards Todd’s room. Yeah, I knew which one it was, not that I had ever done anything with him in it, but I had been in there a few times.

I came up and knocked briefly on the door, then opened it up.

“Excuse me, I hate to bother you, but…”

I trailed off. For there, right in front of me, were Christina Lambert and Todd Grahams, pants down and having out-and-out sex right there in front of me. Although, when Todd heard my voice, he froze and jerked around.

I stared at him, shocked, disgusted, angry. I didn’t know what to say, what to do. All I knew was that this was the perfect ending to a perfect day.

“What are you doing?!”

Todd got up real quick, pulling up his pants and zipping them as fast as he could. He was panting, I could hear, panting! I felt punching his lights out. Instead, I just shook my head and laughed a little condescendingly.

“You went back to that whore? How many times has she proven that she just wants to screw around. That she wants to sleep with every guy in school, and having you at her beckon call is just another way she can feel good about herself. A boost to her already flying ego.”

“Raven, she’s not like that! She means it this time. She’s going to stay true to me. She promised! I know this must hurt, but I really love her! Don’t you see? I got to give her another chance!”

I laughed, this time contemptuously.

“Yeah, and another chance, and another chance, and another chance, and ten million more chances. But, no matter how many chances you give her, she’ll always be who she is, a dirty, little slut. That’s it. And you just keep blowing your chances with people who just might make your life better. Instead of worse. All because you have to give her another chance. And, do you wanna know the real funny part. I came here tonight to tell you I had to break up with you, anyway, because of this stupid Prince thing, but it looks like you’ll be able to survive without me. I know I’ll survive without you.”

I turned around to walk away. I felt a hand suddenly grasp my arm, holding me back, and I turned around. I looked into Todd’s confused, sorry face.

“Look I’m sorry you had to see this, but I don’t understand what you’re talking about. What Prince thing?!”

“I have to marry Prince William of Wales, second in line to the throne of England. It’s been a match set up by my father and Her Royal Majesty, the Queen of England. So, we couldn’t be going together anyway, honey. So, have fun with your slut.

With that said, I wrenched away from his gaping persona and walked away. I passed by Mrs. Grahams smirking, obviously on cloud-nine, face, and then just walked away. As soon as I got out of the house, I started to run as fast as I could. Running away from everything that was chasing me.

Everything was going wrong. My whole life was falling to pieces in front of my very eyes. And I was left struggling to catch them and put them all back together again. To try to piece together what was left of my life.

I reached the park, and suddenly broke down crying, falling to the ground, and rocking back and forth in a desperate attempt to feel better.

I was officially miserable.

A/N: Ah. Poor, poor, girl. I hope she feels better soon, don’t you!

And, to all my lovely reviewers:
