Cheater It was a Friday night andwas out drinking with some friends. They were having a blast when the subject “cheating” came up… _Ok, I’ve cheated before but I don’t know if I’d accept to be cheated. – one of his mates said. _Are you kidding? I don’t even have to think twice, if my girl cheats on me she’ll get the boots! – another one said laughing. _And I’d never want to talk or see my girl again. – other one said – What o you think? _I think you’re all wrong. _What?! _You never know what might happen to you. I’m saying that ‘cause I saw a thing like that from close. Do you remember my mate? Happened something like that to him years ago when Blue was starting… ~*~FLASHBACK~*~ …it was 2001 and we were releasing our first single “All Rise”. We had to be out of town a lot to “sell” our work.had a girlfriend,, a beautiful girl, really sweet. Anyway, I don’t remember the day but we got back from a showcase in Bristol andwanted to surpriseno telling her he was back but once he stepped in their house he noticed his girl wasn’t there. He waited for her for hours and at 3am she finally showed up drunk with a guy.was watching by the window when the first stab came, stopped in front of the house and actually started to make out with the guy. My mate didn’t know what to do; he opened the front door to let her know he was seeing what she was doing… _! _Ooops! _What the hell are you doing?! The guy who was withobviously ran away. The girl got in the house stumbling and threw herself on the couch… _You didn’t answer me! _Didn’t you see? I was having fun! _You were making out with a guy! _So what? _You’re my girlfriend! _Yeah…right…I’m sorry babe I was drunk. I mean; I’m drunk. _For sure you are! _And you’re pissed. _For sure I am! What were you thinking about? _I needed some fun, ok? Is it a crime? _Having fun is one thing; cheat on me is a completely different one! _As if you never thought about it with those girls all over you. _No, I haven’t thought about that ‘cause I love you! _Yeah right! stood up and went to their room laughing what let worst ‘cause she was making fun of the situation. _How can you doubt about it? _Isn’t that clear? Since you started with this Blue bullshit you don’t even know that I exist! All I hear is “said this,wrote that,did those” I’m sick of it! _So you went out and decided to cheat on me? _Only on my free time. _How could you… you know? My mom used to say that an erected penis has no conscience. You don’t have a penisso what happened? _Your penis was never around so I decided to look for another one! With thatlost his sight and slapped her on the face. He opened the closed took her clothes and threw them out of the window. I don’t know what was going on in ’s mind but she seemed to be angry, what was not an excuse to cheat on. She grabbed the things he didn’t throw through the window and before she left she said something that hurt him even more… _You know what? You were wasting you life away being with me so don’t worry, you’ll move on. I know that ‘cause I’ve already did. slammed the door behind her ascried watching her picking her stuff at the front yard. Those were rough times for, you know? Blue was going big and he was really heart broken. Sometimes I thought he’d collapse and would leave all he fought to have behind but I was wrong; his love for music made him “survive” after that deception. never saw or heard fromagain ‘till last month. We went to Liverpool to a concert and we were hanging at the hotel bar whensaw some girls on a table near us. We introduced ourselves to them and started to make our moves, we decided whom got who, chatted about lots of things and the girls said they were waiting for a friend and as soon as she got there we could go out to have some fun. We waited for 10 minutes and we all got shocked when their friend showed up… _Sorry guys, I’m late! _! –said standing up. _You two know each other? – one of the girls asked. _Yes…was my boyfriend. Her friends got shocked. Apparentlydidn’t tell anything about their relationship.and were pale not knowing what to say to each other but my mate broke the silence between them… _How have you been? _Good and you? _Fine… The situation was awkward so we decided to go to a club to break that tension but 10 minutes later seemed to be fed up with that and went back to the hotel. didn’t feel good either and left 5 minutes afterbut what we didn’t know was thatwas at the same hotel as us.got something to drink at the bar and when he went to get the elevator to his roomwas in there. The tension was back, they badly looked at each other and when the elevator got to’s floorremembered everything that happened that night and when she was about to leave he couldn’t hold anymore and decided to face her sober this time… _Why? _Why what? _Why did it happen? _Look, here’s not the right place to talk about it. _Fine, let’s go to my room then. pulledback inside the elevator and they went to his room. I guess they got quite for good 20 minutes ‘till he was ready to speak again… _Tell me why. _I don’t know what you wanna hear. _I wanna hear the truth. I mean; did you love me? _Yes. _So why? _I don’t know… everything I did was with anger. We’ve been together for 2 years; we were living under the same roof for 4 months then suddenly BAM! You started to be out of town, always talking about your big projects for the band, always tired when we had the chance to be alone. I realized I was getting behind in your life… _What do you mean? You were never behind in my life. _Yes I was. Do you remember what were our plans when we moved in together? Music would be a hobby for you as you went to Administration school and I would study Literature, become a teacher and after 2 years from our graduation we’d get married and live happily ever after with our 3 beautiful kids. _… _You didn’t include me in you plans. Where are our kids? Where are our diplomas? I know it wasn’t the right thing to do; I shouldn’t have cheated on you and never say what I said. I loved you and I still do… got touched by her “speech” and I don’t classify him as an idiot ‘cause when you don’t forget a love you can really tell if it’s telling the truth. Of coursedidn’t forgiveright the way; he was too hurt with what she had done… _Why didn’t you say anything? _I’ve tried but you were always busy with something and too happy for me to ruin everything. _Did you think that cheating was an easy way? _No… my anger did and I’m paying now ‘cause I didn’t move on, I got stuck on you and every time I open a magazine and see you with a girl I die inside ‘cause that’s my punishment. See how happy you are makes me feel guilty for not have supported you. felt happy inside; he could see thatreally regretted everything she had done. They didn’t say anything else; the girl kept staring at the floor and he staring at her. After 5 minutes the silence was broken again… _Look, I’m glad to see you again but I better go now. went towards the door but when she touched the doorknob freaked ‘cause he didn’t want her to go… _Stay! _What? _I still love you toobut I’m afraid of being with you again. _I don’t blame you. I’ve been a bitch to you. _You were mean but I never forgot about you. _What are you trying to say? _Can you promise never hurt me if we give another try? smiled. Clearly she didn’t believe in what was happening… _Yes, I promise never hurt you. got really happy for giving them another try that they started right the way spending the whole day at his room… ~*~ END OF FLASH BACK ~*~ _Are they still together? _Yes. _Ishappy? _Like I’ve never seen before. You see, we always think, “if my girl cheats on me there’s no way back” but sometimes it’s a hell of a lie.andare together again and he’s learning to trust her again. What I’m trying to say is that if you have a true love by your side it’s ok to give it a second chance and don’t you ever say never ‘cause you never know what can happen in your future.
