Later that night….

Chris POV

I'm walking down the hall towards Mel and Steph's room. I really need Steph to cover for me so I can sneak out and meet Bianca. But I don't want Steph to know that I'm going there to break up with her. I've been thinking about this for a while and especially after what I felt with Steph earlier I have to do it now. Plus Steph doesn't even like Bianca and vice versa, I'm not even sure that I do. To be honest I only went out with Bianca because it's what my family expected of me. I'd much rather go out with Steph; I've been in love with her for the last four years. She's so easy to be around, it's just natural.

I stop at Steph's door and knock. No answer. I knock again. Still no answer. So, I try the handle, it's locked! I'm starting to panic, what if something happened to her? So, I orb in.

Steph POV

Lying on your bed at twelve o'clock in the morning listening to an old Colbie Caillat called 'Fallin' for you' in a black bra and black soccer shorts would relax most people. But for me it just makes me think even more. Especially this song it reminds me so much of my relationship with Chris. I wish I could tell him how I feel but with Bianca around it's not a good idea. I close my eyes and get lost in the lyrics.

Then from behind my eyelids I see faint white lights. I open my eyes in time to see them for into Chris.

Oh My God!

"Oh my God, Chris," I screech as I hurry to cover myself up. I pause my music as my cheeks start getting red.

And to top it all off he's just standing there. Staring. With his mouth hanging open.

"Turn around, you idiot!" I yell at him.

Chris POV

I can't believe I just orbed into Steph's room. And there she was. Just lying there. Half naked. On her bed! I saw her for a split second before she covered herself up. She looks….amazing. Oh crap she's saying something... And I'm standing here gaping at her like an idiot!

"Uh, huh?" I say brilliantly.

"Turn around!"

"Oh right, sorry!" I hear her open up her drawer to get out a shirt. I remember back to the night before we both started high school. She dragged me in here so I could give her my opinion on what she should where the next day to school. Now that I think about it she blushed every time I said I liked the outfit, which was practically every single one. My cheeks are burning plus I'm getting damn butterflies in my stomach. Great.

"Okay, you can turn around now." She says quietly. I slowly turn to face her wondering idly how pissed she'll be.

Steph POV

"I'm not mad," I say when I hear his thoughts.

"You know it's not fair when you read people's minds," he says smirking a little.

"I just wanted to know what you saw." His face gets redder.

"Umm…a lot….actually."

"What?" I nearly scream but I would wake up everybody in the house if I did.

"I'm sorry! You didn't answer when I knocked and I was starting to worry a demon had gotten you or something."

"…Sorry. I was listening to some music." I gesture to my ear buds on my bed, And before I can stop we walks over and picks it up. Oh crap!

"'Fallin' for you'? Really? That's like what ten years old?"

"So what? I like the song!" He always teases me about my taste in music. Well, sorry if I don't like all that techno and rap crap!

Chris POV

Uh oh, she's getting mad. If I want her to cover for me, I need to be a little nicer. But something about this particular song is bugging me. "Didn't you say that every song you like has a significance to you?" I wonder what this song's is.

"Yes," she answers. She starts fidgeting with her fingers.

"Well, what's so special about this song?"

I don't have to tell you!" She has tears in her eyes. I don't want her to cry.

"I'm sorry, I was just curious."

"It's alright. So what do you need?"

"Um, I need you to cover for me so I can….uh…go meet Bianca."

Steph POV

Great, so not only did he see me half-naked, but he wants me to cover for him so he can go meet his girlfriend! And knowing Bianca, he probably won't be back until tomorrow morning.

"Yeah, fine I'll cover for you. Say hi to Bianca for me," I say sarcastically. A sharp pain ran through my chest.

Chris POV

As soon as she says those words I feel a blunt blow in my chest. It feels so horrible, so painful. It came from Steph. Stupid empathy, I just got it a week ago and it's ruining my life.

But why is Steph upset? And feeling things like this? She's my best friend and she's viewed me that way. Hasn't she?

"Thanks, bye," I barely manage to say as I orb out.
