"Things have to change, Troy. If they don't, I'm gone." She had quieted down by now and look upset.

"They will, Em. I promise." He reached out and pulled her in for a hug.

He rubbed her back as he thought about what he just promised. Could he really change that fact that he didn't like Derek? He didn't know. But, if lying is what he had to do to keep Emily. Then that's exactly what he would do.

The next 2 weeks went by well. Derek hadn't called Emily while she was with Troy, which Emily was glad about. She didn't want to have another argument about Derek. Although, Troy had promised to change. But, she didn't know if he really could.

The team had just gotten back from a case and they went out for a drink after. Emily wasn't exactly drunk, but she was slightly tipsy.

She didn't want to risk driving so Derek offered her a ride home. He hadn't drank much that night because he didn't feel well.

When Derek dropped Emily off they said goodbye and she entered her apartment.

When she opened the door she saw Troy sitting on the couch. He got up and gave her a hug and kiss. He smelt the alcohol on her breath.

"Have you been drinking?" He asked.

"Yeah. The team went out for a drink when we got back." She smiled and walked over to the couch. She slightly stumbled before sitting down.

"You didn't drive yourself home, I hope?" He said as he sat down beside her.

"No." She looked at him.

"Well I'm pretty sure I know who did." He said grumpily.

"WHAT THE HELL TROY? REALLY? AGAIN? YOU TOLD ME YOU'D STOP THIS!" She screamed. "YOU PROMISED ME YOU'D STOP TALKING SHIT ABOUT DEREK AND BEING SO JEALOUS OF HIM! I KNEW YOU COULDN'T CHANGE! WHY DIDN'T I JUST END THIS THAT NIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE RESTAURANT?"

By now she had stood up and was pacing the room. Obviously the alcohol had upped her anger a notch, and this time she was at her breaking point.

"NO, EMILY. YOU'RE RIGHT. I CAN'T CHANGE. I CAN'T PRETEND THAT IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME THAT HE IS ALWAYS AROUND. HOW OFTEN DOES HE CALL YOU WHEN I'M NOT AROUND? HOW OFTEN DO YOU TWO HANG OUT TOGETHER WITHOUT ME KNOWING?"

"I KNEW IT! YOU LIED TO ME! YOU PROMISED ME THAT YOU WOULD CHANGE, THAT THIS ARGUING ABOUT DEREK WOULD BE OVER!"

"Emily." Troy started, but was cut off.

"No, Troy. NO!" Her phone vibrated. She picked it up and went to exit the room. "Don't follow me. I'll be back." Then she was gone. He knew exactly who was calling too.

He walked to the door she had exited and listened.

"Hello." She said. He voice cracked slightly, like she was upset.

The phone was on speaker, so he could her the conversation slightly.

"Hey, Em. What's wrong?" The man's voice said. Troy automatically recognized it.

"It's nothing. Just Troy as usual." Troy got angry. Did she really tell Derek all of the things she and Troy fought about?

"Do you need anything? I can come down there if you want me to." Derek's voice said.

"No. That would just make him madder." She stated.

"Oh. He's there still." Derek realized.

"Yeah. But, hey. Why'd you call? Did you need something?"

"I was just making sure you were alright." He seemed concerned.

"Oh, well yes. I'm fine. I should probably get back to him, though. Thanks for calling." Troy could tell by the change in her voice that she was smiling.

"Anytime, Princess. You know I love you. Be safe." Derek said.

She laughed. "When aren't I? Bye."

When Emily opened the door she came face-to-face with a furious looking Troy.

"Did I not tell you not to follow me?" She stated, annoyed.

"It was him. But I mean why wouldn't it be? It's always fucking him! And do you actually tell him every time we fight? Or just when we fight about him? Because obviously he knows that we do! And he offered to come over here? How often does that happen?"

She gave him a look she saved especially for the worst serial killers she had to face. "DAMNIT! SHUT UP!" She yelled before calming her voice again. "I told you that there was nothing but friendship between me and Derek. Why can't you believe me? Do you really not trust me enough to believe that I wouldn't cheat on you?"

"He said he loved you, Emily. Did you miss that part of the conversation you two just had on the phone?" He closed his eyes and looked down "Because I didn't." The last comment came out so quietly that she wasn't even sure he'd said it. He was obviously hurt.

She was quiet for a minute. That's when she realized it. Troy had been right all along.

"No. I didn't miss it." she stated while looking at the ground.

"Troy." She looked up and met his eyes. "I'm so sorry."

Apparently he had also made a realization of his own, because he just looked at her and said "For what? The fact that your best friend is in love with you? You can't help that. I shouldn't have been so pissed at you."

"No." She said quietly. "Not for that." She didn't want to hurt him, but lying would hurt even worse. She knew that from experience.

He looked confused. "For what then?"

She took a deep breath and looked him straight in the eyes. God this was going to be hard. After a few seconds of silence, she began. "For -"
