Alriiight, so I couldn't write this weekend, cause I was doing a 30 hour famine with my youth group. (Sooo much fun. :D) Anyways enjoy. Disclaimer: ... I'm not MOA.

"Whoever it is go away." I growled

"It's me." The sweetest voice in the world said quietly.

I slid out from under my car. I stared up at Gwen.

"Hey," Gwen said softly. She was staring down at the ground.

"Hey." I replied gruffly. I sat up and rested my arms on my knees.

Gwen looked at me. "Can we talk?"

I calmly motioned for her to come sit beside me. "Sure."

Gwen slowly walked over to me. She bent down and sat beside me.

I wanted to reach over and put my arm around Gwen, but I just couldn't. What if Gwen wanted to tell me she was going back to Ricky? If that happened I don't know what I would do. We just sat there in silence for several long minutes.

Finally Gwen moved closer and leaned on me. I immediately put my arm around her and pulled her close. "You aren't mad at me, are you?" She as slowly.

I took a deep breath, than slowly exhaled. "No, confused, a little hurt maybe, but not mad."

Gwen looked up at me, her eyes full of pain. "I'm so sorry Kevin. I never meant to hurt you. I was just in shock."

I slowly moved my thumb in small circles on her shoulder.

"I didn't want you to hurt him. Ricky and I," Gwen paused. She seemed to be searching for the right words. "We were close as kids. He's had a lot of health problems."

"I know."

Gwen looked at me in surprise. "You know?" She asked wide-eyed.

I nodded slowly. "Ben told me."

Gwen looked down. She began to run her finger over my arm, making invisible patterns. It was something Gwen did when she was confused or nervous. "Did Ben tell you we use to go out last year?" Gwen asked slowly.

"Yeah, he said you were heart broken."

Gwen kept her eyes on my arm. "I was, I thought Ricky was the one." She whispered.

My muscles became tensed. I pulled Gwen closer.

"About a month after he moved away guys started asking me out, but I always said no. I told myself Ricky was going to come back, and when he did we would get back together." Gwen paused. She was quiet for a long time. "I never even considered going out with another guy until you came back into my life." She finally said.

"What are you going to do now that he's back?" I asked. On the outside I appeared calm, cool, and collective, but on the inside I was anxious.

"He wanted to go back out with me."

"What did you tell him?" I asked. I held my breath, waiting for her answer.

Gwen's emerald eyes looked straight to my heart. "I admit, I would have struggled with the decision but," Gwen paused.

My heartbeat quickened. Was Gwen going to dump me? "But what?" I asked gruffly.

"He talked bad about you. Apparently you were cruel to his cousin. Ricky thinks you'll hurt me, but I told him he was the one who had hurt me. I trust you, I no longer trust Ricky."

My heart soared. Gwen had defended me, she trusted me. I leaned over and kissed her cheek. "So I have nothing to worry about?" I asked.

A small smile appeared. Gwen snuggled closer to me. "No, you have nothing to worry about. Because you have one thing Ricky never truly had."

"What, roguish charm?" I teased.

Gwen laughed. "Fine, you have two things he never truly had."

"What's the other thing?" I asked softly.

Gwen pulled away from me slightly. Her eyes were shining as she looked into my dark eyes. "You have my heart." Gwen whispered softly.

Yay! I could end this here, but then I wouldn't even get to the part that gave me this idea. :D R&R please. I hoped y'all like this little story of mine so far. :D
