Leo walks down the street to his house with his hands in his sweat shirt pockets. Wayne was his friend, but how could he do this to him? He recaps what just happened. He walked to Aeris' house to give her some flowers for her birthday. When he went to knock on the door, but before he did he looks in the window. Only to find his to best friends, Wayne and Aeris, kissing in her living room. It was no secret that Leo liked her, and the only person he ever told was Wayne. How could he betray Leo like that? Leo walks into his house and slams the door behind him. He walks past his mother and father on the way to the kitchen.

"Who are the flowers for?" his mother asks playfully. "You're girlfriend?" Leo slams the flowers into the trash can and walks up to his room. His mother looks to her husband and then continues reading her book.

Leo slams his bedroom door. He tears off his sweat shirt and flops on to his bed. He closes his eyes and lets out a long sigh. He had been Wayne's friend since Wayne had moved to Toronto from Italy during their 8th grade year. He thought he could trust Wayne when he told him that he liked Aeris. He remembers asking Wayne what he thought of her after he told him. "She's a nice girl, I would date her if she asked me to, but I think you should be with her." Wayne's voice echoes in Leo's head. He turns to his night stand and grabs the picture of Wayne, Aeris and himself. He looks at it for a moment then hurls it a crossed the room. After what he had seen, he was glad that Wayne was leaving.

Wayne knocks on his friends' door. After a few moments of waiting the door opens to larger black and grey cat, Aeris' father. "Ah, Wayne. It's good to see you. You looking for Aeris?" he asks, clapping his hand on Wayne's shoulder.

"Yeah." He says pulling a small black box from his pocket and handing it to Aeris' father. "I wanted to give her this necklace for her birthday." He opens the box revealing a small gold triforce shaped pendant on a gold chain. "I wanted to get her something special." Wayne says taking the box back.

Aeris' father smiles and pats Wayne on the back. "She's upstairs in her room." He says with a chuckle.

"Thanks Mr. Scott." Wayne says as he turns and walks to the stairs. "Wayne." He turns and looks at Mr. Scott. "Call me Mike." Wayne smiles and heads up the stairs. Wayne knocks on his friends' bedroom door. He hears the unmistakable tune of I write sins not tragedies by Panic! At The Disco. Aeris opens the door and pulls him inside. Wayne hugs her. "Happy birthday bud." He tells Aeris as he pulls away from her.

"Thanks Wayne." She sits on her bed. "Wayne, I need to talk to you about something." She starts.

"I need to talk to you about something, too." He says, ears drooping. "Ok, you go first." Aeris says as she slides back on her bed and crosses her legs. Wayne sits on the end of the bed. "Aeris, you and Leo have been the best friends a guy could have." He starts. "What do you mean by have been?" Aeris asks. "It's not easy to tell you this, Aeris but my parents decided that we're moving back to Italy." Wayne says while lowering his head into his hands.

Aeris looks at Wayne with her mouth slightly open and a tear rolling down her face. She leans into Wayne and starts crying a bit more heavily. Wayne wraps his arm around her. "Please don't cry. You know I can't stand you crying, remember when Jake Brighton broke up with you?" She looks at him and smiles. "You went to his house and beat the shit out of him." She says. Wayne wipes a tear from her face. "It won't be for a couple of months." He smiles at her. She returns the smile and wipes the remaining tears from her face. Wayne stands up and grabs Aeris' hand. They go down stairs and sit on the living room couch.

Aeris turns to Wayne. "Now I need to tell you something." She says as Wayne go's for the box in his pocket. "Just wait a minute bud, I got one more thing I got to do." He stands up to get a better grip on the box. "Fuck this." She says before wrapping her arms around Wayne and kissing him. Wayne's eyes widen then close as he slowly wraps his arms around Aeris' waist. Aeris lets go of Wayne and pushes him onto the couch, only to throw herself on to him and continue kissing him.

"I'm going to hell." Wayne thinks to himself he lowers his hands from Aeris' waist to her hips. Then he realizes what he is doing. He knows that he broke a promise to his best friend, but he had never felt better. He had feelings towards Aeris but he hadn't told her because of his promise to Leo. He knew that Leo had never forgiven him for this if he found out. But honestly, he didn't care. He opens his eyes and all he can see is Aeris' beautiful blue eyes. And that's the last thing he sees until Aeris lets him up.
