Happy Valley -Part 18-Pete and Colby
Colby and Peter’s apartment
Kira is waiting in Colby and Pete’s bed
“Colby where are you sweetheart I’m home!’Pete says as he comes in the apartment door not finding Colby he walks through the living room opens his bedroom door and sees Kira in his bed
“Kira what are you doing here?’Pete asks
“I had to come and see you my love she was keeping you from me!’ Kira says
“Who was keeping you from me?’ asks Pete humouring Kira
“Why that witch Colby Chandler of course. She always knew you were my true love that we were soul mates.’ Kira says
“I don’t understand Kira we only met a couple of days ago!’ Pete says trying to make sense out of what Kira is saying he thinks ”I hope she didn’t do something to Colby!’
“Well that explains it .’Kira says ‘That explains why you didn’t recognize me and call me by my real name.’
“Recognize you?’Pete says puzzled
‘Silly you don’t have to pretend anymore she can’t hurt you!’Kira says
“Who can’t hurt me?’ Pete asks and then as the thought occurs to him he says ”Colby? What have you done to Colby?’
“Nothing not compared to what she and her gang did to me in high school. Do you know they shut my locker and I was there until the janitor came in the next day? Colby and her cronies tortured me day and night. They texted horrible things about me they said horrible things to my face. They called me fat they made fun of my clothes. Do you know how I lost my virginity? I snuck into Colby’s sweet sixteen party on the yacht and some awful boy cornered me and he was nice to me and he gave me a drink .The drink was spiked and when I was unconscious he raped me! He told me afterward that I was lucky that he did I was so fat and gross no one else was going to touch me! Then he laughed and told me that he had won a bet with one of Colby’s friends who had bet him $50 that he couldn’t bed me! I went home and told my mom and she said it was my own fault that I was fat and that I allowed myself to be bullied! She told me you can be bullied or be the bully. She took me for an abortion. And then she said don’t let this happen again! Like it was all my fault! Time and time again she said that it wasn’t fair that she had a daughter like me instead of Colby! Colby this Colby that always Colby but I saw you at school and you were so sweet you told them to get lost and leave me alone! I think I fell in love with you then especially after you told him to get lost or you were going to send him into tomorrow! You were the only one who could see past my weight!’ Kira says with hero worship written on her face
“Katrina is that you?’ asks Pete realizing who she was
“I knew you’d know me it’s just like Beauty and the Beast. I was under a horrible spell that made me fat and ugly but you came along and made me feel beautiful just the way I was!’Kira says wiping tears from her eyes. I lost weight when Mommy died. I couldn’t believe that she would choose Colby for her daughter or me! She pretended she was Liza Colby –Chandler. She abandoned me and went to play Colby’s mother! Colby takes everyone who is mine but she couldn’t keep you could she Pete because you love me! you proved it when you made love to me!’
“Oh Katrina I’m so sorry people have been so cruel to you sweetie!’Pete says with heartfelt sadness for the young girl Katrina was and the heart ache she went through ”but you have to tell me what you did with Colby !
“See I knew you love me! But this ,this really proves it!’ says Katrina holding up a pregnancy test
“Katrina are you saying you’re pregnant?’ asks Pete
“Yes isn’t it wonderful! Our love made a baby!’ Katrina says
‘Katrina I’m married I will look after my child but I’m married to Colby!’Pete says gently
‘Don’t say her name again!’Katrina says “putting her hands over her ears
‘ Katrina where is Colby?’Pete asks trying to pacify her “if she’s in danger how can we be together?’
“Oh she’s okay!’Kira says then seeing his face “you’re so sweet Peter you worry about everyone! Colby in the closet .We should leave her there and go to my apartment. I promise if you come with me I’ll call someone to let her out.’ Katrina says now brandishing a gun she pulls out of the coat she's putting on!
“Why are you holding a gun Katrina? You don’t need a gun you said we were soul mates remember?’Pete says
“You’ll want to rescue Colby! Because you’re a nice guy Peter but our baby needs her daddy!’Katrina says “we’ll go to my apartment collect my things and then it’s off to Europe on our honeymoon! I have some money from mother and my nursing salary!’
“Please Katrina allow me to untie Colby she’s unconscious anyway!’Pete says seeing Colby trussed up in the closet.
“I suppose since you’re coming with me I could let you do that!’ says Colby ‘Please be okay Colby!’Pete whispers as Colby stirs
“Come on you untied her now let’s go! I’ll call as soon as we have my stuff so she can get help for her headache!’Katrina says waving the gun threatening like “You wouldn’t want me to short her now would you?’
“Of course not I’m coming now. Will go to your apartment.’ Pete says pacifying Katrina
“I’m so happy you and I will have a wonderful Honeymoon Pete!See I have the tickets right here!’Katrina(Kira) says holding up plane tickets and see my passport it says Katrina Cortlandt. And I have you passport right here she says holding up Pete’s that she found in a drawer. Then when he doesn’t move she says “ I really could shoot her it would solve everything!’
“No please Katrina she’s not worth it you know I love you!’Pete lies
But Colby just waking up hears it as they leave the apartment!
