Don't own Private……

_____________________________________________________________________________________

It's Friday, I think. As I wake up, I scan the room. A dresser, a TV, a closet, and a bathroom. How in the hell did I get here? I could have sworn I was last in Noelle's living room, but whatever. I go to the bathroom to try to make myself look presentable. Literally I look like, well, like I almost drowned. I take what was supposed to be a quick shower, then get dressed. I have the worst headache ever. As I go downstairs, I hear Noelle and Dash arguing over something, and the faint sound of the TV. When I enter the room they immediately stop everything.

"Hey Glass-Licker. Guess you decided to join the rest of the world again."

"Noelle, as you can see I feel like shit. So if you could just shut the hell up, I'd appreciate it." Dang Reed. You're getting more like her every day.

"Okay, Okay. Just calm yourself." Says Noelle. "Just a warning. Upton called and he'll be here any minute"

"UPTON?? Why would you let him come here?"

"Whoa, Whoa. Last I checked, you two were getting pretty hot and heavy"

Huh. Noelle doesn't know everything. "Well, Poppy's mother walked in on us. Then she basically called me a slut. Then that little dick went after Poppy. So yeah, you could say we are pretty much over."

Knock knock

Damn. He's probably ganna be all whiny and who wants to deal with that? I could just slip out. No. He knows I'm here. And he'll know I'm awake because Dash is the worst liar. I should just---he's right there, acting as if nothing happened.

"Reed! Oh Reed, I was so worried"

I'm sure you were. Prick.

He comes to me and wraps me in his arms and before I know what is happening he grabs my face and kisses me way to rough. He's crushing me. I shove him as hard as I can, and right now that's not real hard. But he doesn't get it. He just grabs me tighter. Noelle can see my struggle.

"Upton!"

Dash pushes him off of me. Thank God.

"Upton" I say as calmly as I can. "When you left me, I moved on right then and there. There is no more 'us'. Obviously you don't love me like you claimed."

"No. Reed, God. No. I do love you! How could you say that?"

"You left me! For freakin Poppy! If you wouldn't have left me, I wouldn't have been pushed off the damn boat! Then I wouldn't have had my third near death experience in two years! So Upton, get the hell out of Noelle's house, hopefully St. Bart's, and most defiantly my life. Because for all I care, you can go fuck yourself."

He storms out. Finally, I stood up for myself. I've never felt so empowering, so free. So this is how Noelle feels all the time.

"Damn Reed. I really am rubbing off on you." She smiles. "Now after that episode you must be starving. Let's head out. I'm starting to feel cramped in this house."

And with that, we left. All is forgotten. For now.

So?? What did you think? Seriously people, I need reviews. Even if they are bad, criticism is good. It might be a little while before I update because I broke my nose and the pain pills knock me out. But don't give up on me. I still am ganna finish the cliffy from the last chapter. I just thought this was a good place to stop because I had my meds and am about to pass out. So please give me feedback……
