RPOV

What was I thinking? I should never have just kissed her like that. I had no right to do it, especially as she's with Mike.

It's not like I'm in love with her, It's just... well, yeah I suppose I am. But that still didn't give me the right just to go around kissing her.

Why do I always do everything wrong? I'm such a waste of time. Why would she even want to be with someone like me, who goes around kissing other peoples girlfriends?

I passed Nikki and Jackson their drinks, and then slumped myself down onto the couch next to Catherine. She was chatting to Peter and Billy casually.

'You okay Rob?' Peter asked.

'Fine thanks Peter,' I lied smoothly.

'Well, it's been a long day. But we've more premieres to come!'

'Oh god, don't remind me.'

I rubbed my hands up and down my face, and yawned widely.

At that moment, Kristen entered the Living room. I couldn't face her; I was too embarrassed with myself. Instead I rested my head back on the couch and closed my eyes.

'Finally babe, come sit back down with me,' I heard Michael say to Kristen.

'In a minute, I'm just going to go and get changed into something more comfortable.'

'I'll miss you,' he said, in a sickly tone.

Kristen didn't reply. I opened my eyes, and saw her walking daintily out of the room.

Barely a minute later, Kristen was back, still in the same dress she had been in all night. She looked like she had just seen a ghost.

I got up and walked over to where she was standing. I put my hands on her shoulders, and asked, 'Kristen what's wrong.'

'I-'

But her answer was interrupted. Ashley half ran into the room, wrapping a dressing gown around her as she did so. She was closely followed by Kellan, doing exactly the same thing.

'Kristen, I'm so sorry,' Ashley began, 'I - I mean we- didn't mean to scare you like that. I mean, it kinda just happened.' She looked over to Kellan, her cheeks blushing a scarlet red.

'No, Ashley, don't apologize. I was just a little shocked is all.' Kristen paused, shook her head and then continued, 'I mean, it's great! So what does this mean?'

'Well, we're just taking it one step at a time.' Ashley replied, a cheeky smile on her face.

'Come here you!' Kristen said, and gave Ashley a hug. 'I'm just glad it was in my bloody guest bedroom,' she added with a laugh, and everyone joined in.

I walked a few steps to Kellan, and punched him playfully on the arm with a smile. He did the same thing back.

'Well, I was going to get changed, but i think you two had better do the honors,' Kristen remarked, smiling still.

Everyone laughed melodically and Kellan took Ashley's hand as they left the room.

'Aw, I feel so happy for them. Kellan's been flirting with Ash for ages!' Nikki told the room.

'I think everyone's happy for them,' I added.

Minutes later, Ashley and Kellan were back downstairs, hand in hand.

'Wait a minute, I think I have champagne. We can make a toast,' Kristen told everyone. Soon enough she was back with a tray of just about a million glasses of champagne.

She lay the tray down on a table, and everyone took one.

'So I'd like to make a toast,' Kristen started, 'First, to all of us, for working so hard on Twilight. Everyone did such a good job. To the future, and whatever it brings, whether it be in work or life in general. And last but not least, to love. Because when we have love, nothing else has to matter, because we have someone who will be there for you no matter what.' I looked over to Kristen. She looked back at me and smiled, and I couldn't help but smile back.

'Us, the future, and Love,' everyone chorused, and then we took turns clinking glasses with one another.

Michael put his arm around Kristen and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled up at him, and then looked over at me. Our eyes locked, and she looked as if she wanted to tell me she was sorry for something. I didn't want her to be sorry for anything. I only wanted her to be happy, and if it wasn't me that made her that way, then so be it.

Kristen took Michael's hand and led him out of the room. I could only guess what was going to happen next, and it hurt me to think about it. But I just kept telling myself that as long as she was happy, nothing else in the world mattered more.

KPOV

I knew it was the right thing to do. Ever since Rob had kissed me in the kitchen, and subsequently I had kissed him back, my mind hadn't stopped to rest, even for a second. I thought through my options, time and time again. What would be the consequences of my actions? Who's heart would I have to break? Was I definitely making the right decision?

And I definitely knew I was.

I would just make the toast, I thought to myself, and then I'd do it.

'So I'd like to make a toast,' I began, 'First, to all of us, for working so hard on Twilight. Everyone did such a good job. To the future, and whatever it brings, whether it be in work or life in general. And last but not least, to love. Because when we have love, nothing else has to matter, because we have someone who will be there for you no matter what.' I looked over to Rob. He looked back at me and smiled, and I realized I was smiling too. Not good Kristen, not good! I shook my head and stopped smiling at Rob.

Oh god, I hope I wasn't going to hurt him too bad, was all that was going though my head now. I hate hurting anyone, it's not what I do. Oh, god, oh god, oh god. Okay Kristen, calm down.

I felt Michael slip his arm around my waist and delicately kiss my cheek. I turned to look up at him and beamed him my best smile. I glanced over at Rob, and he looked at me too. Our eyes locked. I felt as if I needed to say sorry to him, and he must have seen the look in my eyes that was trying to do that very thing.

I took Mike's hand and led him out of the door. I stopped when we reached the bottom of the stair.

'Lets sit down here for a minute,' I said, gesturing to the bottom stair.

'Sure thing babe,' Mike replied and pulled me down to sit next to him on the stair.

He lent in to kiss me, so I closed my eyes and let him do so. After a few minutes he pulled away. He could sense that something was wrong.

'Hey, what's the matter?'

'Nothing...it's...nothing,' I really had no idea what to say.

'Oh, c'mon, what is it. You an tell me anything, you know that.'

'Right,' I started to say with a sigh. Mike rubbed my arm, encouraging me to continue, 'Mike, I'm having such a hard time at the moment. I have a million thoughts running through my head and I just...' I paused to take a deep breath, 'Its just, I can't hurt anyone anymore. Go on living a lie. I have to start telling myself what's the right thing to do, the way I want my life to be.'

'What are you on about babe?' He questioned, a bemused look on his face.

'Oh mike, I'm so sorry,' I couldn't say anymore. I just let the tears spring from my eyes, cried into his shoulder.

'Sorry for what? Why are you crying? Aww baby, it's okay. Whatever it is, we can sort it out.'

I exhaled deeply. sat up straight and wiped my eyes. I took a deep breath, before i spoke again.

'Mike, I guess what I'm trying to say, is that, well, I'm not sure I'm in love with you any more. I'm so sorry.'

'What? Are you serious? Kristen, why?'

'I don't know mike. Things haven't seemed right between us lately, and i can't go on misleading people. I'm sorry. I think its best that you know rather than living a lie, don't you? I do care about you, a lot. I hope we can still be friends?' I tried to smile, but it all seemed too false.

'I'd better go Kristen, I can't be here anymore.'

'Please Mike, I don't want things to end this way between us.'

'Well, I think you made it pretty clear what you want, so I'm not going to ruin your life for you any more.' He pushed himself up from the stair and walked over to the front door. He turned around, took one last look at me and went out the door, slamming it behind him.

For the second time that night, I burst into loud sobs.

Seconds later, I was joined in the hallway by Rob.

'Kristen what's the matter? Where's Mike? Did he hurt you? God I'm gonna-'

'No, Rob, calm down he didn't do anything to me,' I told him, trying to fight back the tears. 'He didn't do anything. I made him angry and he just left.'

'Why? What did you say to him?' Rob questioned.

'I err...I told him that I didn't love him any more.'

Rob's jaw looked like it was about to hit the floor. The emotions rushing through me were overwhelming, and suddenly I began to cry louder again.

Rob pulled me in close to his chest and hugged me tightly.

'Don't worry Kris, everything will be fine. Shhh, it's fine, I'm here for you,' he consoled, gently stroking my hair.

Actions speak louder than words, I thought to myself. I took in another breath and looked up at Rob; his eyes were sparkling wonderfully down at me. I couldn't regret the decision I was about to make, so I inhaled deeply and lent up on my tip toes. Gently, I pressed my lips to Robs.

'Kris, wha-'

'No Rob, don't say anything.'

Softly, I pressed my lips to his again and we continued from where we had left off in the Kitchen.


What will happen now that Kristen has broken up with Mike? Will she tell anyone about the break up and getting together with Rob? Or will she keep it to herself. Will rob let the secret out of the bag?
