A/N: Here's the next one guys! Thanks for the reviews, I didn't think anyone would read this one but I'm glad you liked it! Kind of a short chapter but I needed to set some things up. Next one should be up soon, keep reviewing!
It had been a couple of weeks and everyone was finally settling into their senior year. It was finally Friday and Lily was frustratingly texting Connor as she walked to her next class when she bumped into someone.
"Oh crap!" She said, dropping all her books. She looked up and smiled when she saw it was just Kevin. "Sorry, Kevin," she laughed and they both knelt down to pick up her things.
"It's okay, I got it," he said and she stood up watching him. He stood up as well and handed her books over. "Are you okay? You seemed pretty upset a minute ago."
"Oh, um," she bit her lip. She knew discussing her problems about Connor with Kevin was definitely not an option. "This phone is just driving me nuts; I think it has a glitch or something."
"Oh, really?" He said. "Why don't you let me take a look?" He asked, taking her phone out of her hands, she tried to protest but it was too late. He looked down as the phone vibrated and a text message from Connor popped up. "Fighting with Connor, huh?"
She looked at him. "It's complicated," she shook her head.
"Well, talk to me," he said and she looked at him. "Maybe I can help."
"Oh, Kevin, I don't know," she shook her head, skeptically. "Like I said, it's complicated."
"I get it," he nodded. "You don't want me to help because you think I'm in love with you," he said and she looked at him, wide-eyed. "Well, I'm not, okay? So you can talk to me."
She went to talk but the bell rang and she sighed, relieved. "Maybe at lunch, okay?" She said, walking off.
Kevin sighed and walked in the other direction.
There was a party that night and though the foursome would usually rather be spending their night together at one of their houses, they had decided to go at Lily's request.
"Okay, so I don't get it," Lucy said as she and Lily were talking in her car on their way to pick up Kevin and Zach. "He said he wants space?" Lily nodded. "From what?"
"I don't know," Lily shook her head. "I mean, I thought everything was going well but I mean I haven't seen him since the end of summer and then there were all those rumors," she sighed. "I don't know what to do, I just think maybe taking space is the right thing to do, you know?"
"Maybe," Lucy shrugged. "But maybe not."
"I guess we'll never know if we don't try," she said and Lucy nodded. "I'll call him when I get home; I just want to have fun tonight."
"Well, we will," Lucy smiled. "Our first senior party!"
Lily giggled and they arrived and Zach's. He and Kevin climbed into the car and they headed to the party, held by one of the members of the Varsity hockey team.
A few drinks later, Lily was engaging in a game of beer pong when Kevin approached her.
"Hey, so I was thinking we could talk now?" He asked and she looked at him.
"Not right now," she shook he her head. "We're still playing and I'm smoking everyone's butts!"
Everyone cheered and Lily laughed.
"I know but," she looked at him. "I just want to make sure you're okay."
"Don't I look okay?" She asked, taking a drink and he shrugged. "It's a party Kevin, have some fun! Go chat up a girl or something," she said and he looked at her. "Have fun."
He nodded and turned around but stopped when he saw Connor walk into the room.
"Uh, Lily…" He trailed and she turned around.
"Oh my God," she whispered. "Um, I'll be right back okay guys?" She said and walked off.
Kevin watched as she and Connor argued for a bit. She then she pulled him upstairs into one of the rooms. He sighed and took another sip of his drink; this was going to be a long night.
"Why are you here?" Lily asked, as she and Connor walked into one of the many rooms in the mansion they were in. "I thought you were going to break up with me."
He looked at her. "Lily, we've been together for three years, if I wanted to break up with you, I wouldn't do it over a text message," he said and she nodded. They sat on the bed. "Are you drunk?"
"Only a little," she shrugged and he laughed. She hit him. "Don't laugh at me!"
"Okay, I'm sorry," he said, still laughing and she pouted. He moved a piece of hair out of her face. "Why are you drunk, Lil?"
She looked at him. "I asked you a question first!" She said and he sighed. "Why are you here?"
"I don't like that we've been fighting lately," he said and she lowered her eyes. "And I don't like that I haven't seen my girlfriend in weeks."
"Well, you're going to have to get used to it for now," she told him. "You live a gazzilion miles away."
"He laughed. "New York isn't that far," he said and she shrugged. "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine, it's just, Kevin was being weird," she shook her head. "He kept being so serious and I'm like 'Kevin, it's a party, have some fun!' but he wouldn't listen to me," she said and Connor laughed. "You're laughing at me again."
"Because you're so unbelievably adorable," he said and she held back a blush. "Come on," he stood up. "Let's go back to the party."
"Mm, no," she shook her head, pulling him back now. "I think we should stay right here," she whispered, kissing him. She reached for his belt buckle and he pulled away.
"Are you sure?" He asked and she nodded.
"We haven't seen each other in weeks, remember?" She said. "And besides, I know you want to," she said and he laughed. "Come on," she whispered, kissing him again.
They fell back on the bed and made love for the first time in weeks.
