*That Night*

Christina was walking through the house, taking in her new surroundings. Her mind was wondering from one thing to another, hardly concentrating on one thing. She missed Matthew, but knew she couldn't go back to him, no matter how much she wanted to. The asshole had to cheat on her. It woul dhave been better if it was someone she didn't know, but she funckin' best friend! How low could the two stoop. The thought made her sick!

'Ring Ring.... Ring Ring'

Although the phone was ringing, she could barely hear it. It was bring back memories, painful memories of when she found out about Matthew and Jessica.
One of her best friends, Erica, had called her and asked her if she wanted to go to the moview for a girls night out. After must persuasion from Erica, Christina agreed to go. Erica picked her up in her Navy Blue Mustnag. They went downtown to the Central Moview Theatre where they grabbed their tickets, popcorn, sodas, a quick candy fix, and found their seats in the very back of the theatre.
The beginng of the movie was great, but towards the middle a couple in front of them started making out.
"Gosh, why don't they get a room. They're nearly sucking each others' face off." Erica whispered, making Christina laugh.
"Oh Erica leave them alone. It's obvious they like each other a lot. We can move up infront of them if you want,"
Erica was silenced when she saw the guy's face. "Uh oh." She said out loud, but quickly covered her mouth with her hand, praying Christina hadn't heard her.
"Uh Oh what." The girl to her left questioned, wondering what Erica had done now, she probably spilled her popcore knowing how clutzy she could be at times. She turned towards Erica expecting to see a turned over bowl, but instead something caught her eyes.
It was the same couple making out but now she was able to see the guy's face. The guy made eye contact with her about the same time realization dawned on her. His expression changed to one of complete shock and terror. Christina's mouth was wide open in disbelief, and her eyes were all ready starting to get misty.
"Christina, maybe we should leave." Erica said in a sympathetic tone.
All Christina could do was nod her head. They got up and slowly walked out into the middle of the theatre lobby.
"Christina wiat! Let me explain!" The familar voice was racing towards her.
Christina whipped around and saw Matthew running towards her and Jessica close behind.
"Explain! You want to explain! Wha... How could you?!? Why?!? And with all people, with my best friend!?!? How can you explain that.... huh?!?"
"I couldn't tell you, I didn't want you to get hurt. I didn't know how to tell you."
"How could you, was eleven months nothing to you... nothing! How could you."
"I don't know.... I'm sorry."
"Sorry won't work with me!... And you!" She trned around to Jessica, pointing her finger at her. "You're supposed to be my best friend. How could you do this to me?"
Jessica opened her mouth to speak, but was silenced when Christina started yelling again. "I can't believe either of you! Come on Erica let's go, I can't stand to see these two anymore." She stormed out of there in a raging fit. The small crowd in the lobby dared not make a sound as they watched her retreating form.
Erica obdediently followed, but occasionally looked back to give Matthew and Jessica an evil look. The nerve of those two.
