A/N: OK It took me forever but I am now glad to give you chapter Five! wow really I couldn't believe it when I finished I skipped from Fred to shaggy lol I normally don't like using flashbacks but I thought it would help with the story line ^_^

Chapter Five: Le chemin qui n'aurait pas dû être prises

Fred kept looking at me, Scooby had told me I was having a nightmare last night but I didn't remember having a nightmare, good thing too, I hated having nightmares.

"Hey, Shaggy are you alright?"

I nodded;

"Tired out man."

He nodded a faraway look in his eyes;

"Who's Marquis?"

I flinched, well that told me what nightmare I'd had last night;

"Marquis Lavergne."

He still looked confused, he hadn't met the man. I had made sure of that, after all I hadn't wanted the gang to know I was dating a man, Didn't want them to see how broken he had made me.

"But who is he?"

I bit my lip, I could tell him and give myself up or I could not tell him...maybe a bit of both?

"He was someone who hurt me bad, I really looked up to him and he did something that he shouldn't have. He's the reason I don't trust too easily."

Fred seemed a little lost;

"You never mentioned him before..."

I looked down and took a deep and calming breath, well it was supposed to be a calming breath. It never really seemed that way at least not for me.

"I wouldn't have, it's not every day that one walks up to their friends and introduces their boyfriend."

He froze;

"Your boyfriend?"

I snorted;

"Ex-boyfriend. But yes, once he was my boyfriend…But like he didn't treat me good the whole time."

Fred scoffed; I knew that telling him wasn't the greatest Idea. I mean in this day and age it wasn't bad to be gay, but so many people still had issues with it. I wasn't very forthcoming about it either; I didn't want people to know when I wasn't sure of how they would act after all.

"Why were you with him then?"

I rolled my eyes at him;

"Like he was nice in the beginning."
