This chapter took me longer than the other one, surprisingly because I didn't want it to be too repetitive. I was actually debating whether to have Ian like Amy at first or not; I wanted to have him hate her at first, and then fall in love with her, but I decided that wouldn't suit the story

AND THANKS TO ALL MY REVIEWERS, FAVE STORIES/AUTHOR ADDERS, AUTHOR/STORY ALERT PEOPLE SO FAR

XxLuckystar57: Thanks!!! I thought Ian seemed jerkier than in the book and I had a serious debate on whether Ian liked Amy with my friends. He did seem a bit mean, but I decided to go through with the story anyway and make him like Amy :) PS, love your *squeal* lol and thanks for being my first reviewer and adding me to your favorite stories and author list

End of Chapter 1:

"Y-you…recorded this. Are you a monster? You are cruel, Ian…so, so cruel". At this point, she lost confidence and she could feel a terrible ache growing in her chest, that filled her up and left her gasping for breath. Whenever she thought of him, this ache occurred. And it was back. All the tears Amy had been holding in while seeing Ian on TV threatened to pour out. Amy bit her lip harshly. You can't cry in front of him. At least she was wearing the best complete waterproof makeup so her tears could no longer make her look bad in any possible way. The ache got bigger. She knew the tears were about to break loose, so mumbled something, and ran to the bathroom. Inside, she sat down on the floor, hugging her knees to herself and rocking back and forth. Why did I have to fall in love with him? Why, why?? Her sobs now racked her body and she turned the tap on so Ian couldn't hear her. Slowly, she got up, made sure nothing was wrong with her makeup, and walked back outside.

"I'm in", she said emotionless, looking down.

IAN

He actually hadn't seen the DVD before this. He thought Amy wouldn't be sad by him leaving, just annoyed. Did she actually love him? Then this was a mistake. He left because of Natalie and because he knew she would just hurt him. He could see the pure pain in her eyes and it tore him apart inside, knowing he had to carry out his plan to get back at Natalie. "I'm in", Amy said, emotionless. He could see she was trying to mask the hurt inside and felt a sudden ache building up inside of him. Great. Now he was going to sympathize with her. NO. Never. She'll just use it against you. You will carry out your plan; without failure.

Chapter 2:

"OK. You will listen to me and me only. Pretty much, if you ever want that DVD back, you will obey everything I say so the plan can be carried out".

Amy looked up at him with a hurt look in her eyes. Great. Now what have I done; I'm only trying to keep from her the fact that I actually might sort of care for her. Wow, she is beautiful. Her shining red hair went down to her back and her green eyes sparkled with tears. Ian cursed himself bitterly for causing those tears.

AMY

"OK. You will listen to me and me only. Pretty much, if you ever want that DVD back, you will obey everything I say so the plan can be carried out".

The monster. How could he be so cruel? What did I do to him to deserve this? What? Nothing. That's what.

"What did I do Ian?" she said in a broken voice, trying not to let the pain crack through. "What? Nothing. I-I-I trusted you. I made an alliance with you during the hunt. For Pete's sake, who even cares about the hunt for the clues. That's over. You've already hurt me so m-much. Stupid stuttering, she thought inwardly to herself. It just makes you seem weaker. Ian smirked.

IAN

She's lying. I didn't do anything. She was the one who was going to betray me…Natalie told me. Now she's just pretending to be hurt. He smirked.

"Silly. Little. Amy"; his mouth had a hard time forming the last word. It hurt too much. "Do you think I actually…" he took a deep breath. This would be the biggest lie ever told. "Do you think I actually…cared about you? Cared that you got hurt? You're just a wimpy Cahill. Who no one cares about". Inside, his heart was breaking, saying those lies. He knew how much he hurt her in truth. But he couldn't let her take advantage of him.

AMY

"Silly. Little. Amy". She felt a deep pain inside her chest as he formed the last word. He hadn't heard her name in that English accent in so long. It's my fault isn't it, she thought to herself. I had to go and fall in love with the one boy who never cares for anyone. "Do you think I actually cared about you? Cared that you got hurt? You're just a wimpy Cahill. Who now one cares about". That was it. "What do you want from me? You l-l-loser. I don't care about you at all", Amy yelled, still stammering, tears threatening to spill again. That's a really big lie, she thought to herself. Unfortunately. I wish it was true. Because then there would be nothing of use on the DVD. Because I wouldn't have cried over him. "J-j-just leave. I don't care about the stupid DVD", she yelled. "Okay, Amy. All your coworkers and friends would really love to see the weak Amy, wouldn't they". She could hear his voice cracking, for some reason. He turned to leave, knowing she would call him back.

"W-wait. Don't go. I'll do it". She sighed, knowing she had gotten herself into a mess again. He smiled painstakingly. "I'll be in the red Porsche outside. LM299X is the license plate. You can have time to – er, clean yourself up. Also bring changes of clothes for five days. You'll be staying at my house for the plan". She scowled at him, trying to hide her nervousness at staying in Ian's house for a week. Why did he always have this effect on her? He stalked out of the room, glad she agreed to the plan.

IAN

I am a sinner. I just told the biggest lie on earth. And now my heart is broken. I deserved it. "You l-l-loser. I don't care about you at all", she yelled. Ian's fists clenched as he tried to keep sadness in. No tears from you, Ian, he scolded himself. "I'll be in the red Porsche outside. LM299X is the license plate. You can have time to – er, clean yourself up. Also bring changes of clothes for five days. You'll be staying at my house for the plan". He tried to smile, but knew it didn't look believable. She scowled at him. Well, he did deserve it. He left the room, hurrying so he had time to wipe away any tears that might spill. He ran to his car, two steps at a time from Amy and Dan's second floor apartment. His red Porsche gleamed in the sunlight, inviting him in from the cold wintry air of January in New Jersey. There was snow on the ground, sparkling in the faint sunlight and bare trees crowded the streets. Wow, it was even colder here than in England. He thought about Amy staying at his house for five days and he felt feelings grow inside him that he hadn't felt in a long time. Excitement. Happiness.

AMY

Amy stood there in the kitchen, thinking about what to tell her little brother. 'Dan, I was called on an out of business trip for work. I have to go for a week so you should be able to manage. I left some food in the refrigerator and my second credit card in case you need to buy more food. Remember to take Saladin out and get him some red snapper as a treat". She bit her lip. She hated lying to her little brother, yet she knew it would be annoying to try to break up the inevitable fight that would occur between Dan and Ian if she told him the truth. .
