     Darry began to walk in slow circles around me.  He wiped the blood from his nose with the back of his hand.  He leered at me as if he were a wolf and I his prey.  

     "Pay backs are a bitch, aren't they?"  He sneered.

     "Pay backs?  You have got to be kidding me!  You killed someone!  Someone who had nothing to do with any of this.  My god!  What is wrong with you?  Besides, I never did anything wrong and you and I both know it.  What on earth did Mike do to deserve this?"  I screamed at him, breathing hard.

     Darry glared at me.  "We all know that you are sleeping with his band mate.  I'm not stupid you know."  He paused for a moment.  "How long?  Hmmmm?  How long were the two of you going at it while we were together?  Maybe you even took a turn with Mike too, huh Mila?"

     "God Darry, you are disgusting.  You are a heartless creep!  Mike is my friend!  A good friend at that.  We don't all go sleeping around with every friend we have.  You cheated on me, remember?  I never cheated on you, not even once!  Whatever I do now is NONE OF YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!"  I felt my emotions beginning to take over once again.  Tears welled up in my eyes and spilled over onto my cheeks.  "Mike was one of the sweetest people that I had ever known.  He was an amazing friend.  In fact, he was ten times the man that you will ever be."  I looked up at him with disgust.  "I can't believe that I ever fell for someone like you.  What happened to you Darry?  You never used to be this way."  I placed my hands over my face and fell apart, sobbing.  My heart was broken.

     Darry walked over to where I was standing and placed his arm around my shoulders.

     "If it makes you feel any better, Mike wasn't the one I was after."  His lips softly touched my ear.  "You were."
