Dramaz!!!!!



They dimmed the lights, turned up the music and over 300 people began to converge on the dance floor. The perfect time for her to slip away. She was trying to make her way through the mass of writhing bodies when, an arm snaked out of the crowd and pulled her in a different direction. Someone leaned into her ear and said,
  “I’m taking you out of here. We need to talk!”

She recognized his voice.

  “Mark? Wha, Wha… What are you doing here? Stop I’m no-not going anywhere with you. Mark stop!”

Her cries went unheard over the music as he kept moving her towards the closest door. She tried to pull away but he purposefully pushed them through the crowd. The door slammed shut behind them and then there was silence.

  “Why are you doing this? Why today?” she whispered brokenly.

   “I couldn’t stay away Chloe... Not today... Today should have been our day. This should have been our wedding reception. I love you and I want to be with YOU, so please don’t throw that away. Don’t give up on us.”

Her eyes widened as she stepped forward shaking

   “Throw it away? YOU GOT SUSAN PREGNANT WHILE WE WERE ENGAGED! YOU betrayed me. You BETRAYED US! YOU BROKE US! You threw us away. There is no more us…”

Mark looked at her with disbelief…
