Valerie's POV
That idiot is with Brenda.
He lied to me. He told me they weren't dating. He told me he had stopped talking to her, yet I just saw them together in a club, holding hands.
What am I supposed to think? Am I supposed to think that they bumped into each other in the club coincidentally?
I guess I am at fault here.
Brenda, Fred, and I go to different clubs every week to have fun, and Cart's Club is one such club. I never gave it any thought that we would meet there. We only went to Cart's Club once. We have a regular club downtown, and we frequent there more. I guess that is why I never thought I was going to run into them there.
I was only making an effort to cheer Ryan up and make him stop brooding over his mother's sickness.
I even thought he was going to act lovey-dovey with me when I called out their names, but he didn't, yet I am always making an effort to make us look real in front of everyone.
