Part 4: Suspension: day 1

A/n! Thanks for the reviews, I love you all. Mostly M.M. cause she loves JTHM just as much, if not more as me. JTHM forever! Ah, but I can't forget about

TheCrazyOneInTheCorner, for she loves fluff, just like me. Can't forget about CompYES though. Very nice. I didn't think I could be romantic, but apparently I can. Go me. I 3 you guys. Well on with the story..

(Pandora's P.O.V.)

I woke up the next morning to find that Warren had left. I got out of bed and walked into the kitchen, which was like, 2 feet away from the couch. I saw a note left on the coffee table.

Hey, sorry to leave before saying bye, but I didn't want to wake you up. You looked so, dare I say it...cute. I'll stop by after school. See ya later. Love you? Warren.

I smiled. At least I had something to look forward to today. Sure, I didn't have to go to school, but I didn't have anything else to do either. So I just made myself breakfast and went back to sleep. Here's how the rest of my day went:

12:00pm: woke up, made breakfast

2:00pm: Woke up again, cleaned a little, went back to sleep.

3:30: Got dressed and waited for Warren to show up.

4:00: Warren showed up.

Once my favorite super hero showed up, I was outrageously happy, which was odd. Since when did a GUY get me so happy. Apparently, he was happy too. Go us happy people. Well, anyhoo, we talked for a bit, then sat down to watch our cartoons.

"Hi ya boys!" The Canker Sisters yelled from tv. The Ed boys screamed and ran for the hills. Ed yelled something incredibly stupid, probably about a chicken, causing Warren and I to burst into a fit of laughter.

"Okay, instead of this, who's up for a little Invader Zim?" I asked.

"You like Invader Zim?" Warren asked, raising a newly pierced eyebrow.

"Yes I do, and nice eyebrow ring." I said. He grinned.

"Thanks." I got up, and put in my Invader Zim DVD. I headed over to the other end of the couch, but I was pulled into Warren's lap.

"Hello to you too!" I said, trying to get up. He pulled me closer. He shook his head. Giving up, I relaxed and leaned against his chest, waiting for the first episode to start. He wrapped his arms tighter around me. I smiled. Just as we were getting comfy, and it was about to start, the doorbell rang. Yes, I had a doorbell, in fact, I had just installed it earlier that day. HA! I sighed and reluctantly got up and walked to the door.

"Who is it?" I yelled, my irritation clearly shown through my voice.

"Layla, Will, Zack, Ethan, and Magenta." I heard someone say. I raised an eyebrow, then looked back at Warren.

"You know them?" I asked him. To be quite honest, I had no idea who they were.

"Yeah. They're friends of mine." I opened the door.

"What a lovely surprise." I said. Notice the sarcasm? I do.Warren walked up behind me.

"What are you guys doing here?" He asked. He sounded kinda angry.

"We were looking for you, so we stopped by The Paper Lantern. You're mom told us you would be here." Layla ( I think) said.

"Any particular reason you're looking for me?"

"Just wanted to see what you were doing tonight." Zack (?) said.

"Uh..." Warren said. He looked at me. I looked at him with eyes that said 'stay here with me pplllleeeaaassseeeee!'

"I'm stayin' here for a while." He said. "What did you guys want to do?"

"We're having a sleep over at Magenta's and we wanted you to come." Will said. Warren sighed.

"You guys know I DESPISE sleep overs."

"Yeah, but you always come!" Layla whined.

"That's 'cause I generally have nothing better to do."

"And what? You do now?" Will said. He looked at me in disgust. I glared at him.

"Yeah, I do." Warren looked pissed. "And don't you EVER look at her like that again."

"Look at her? She doesn't matter ,Warren, she's a lowly little orphan that no one loves."

"You know what Will, I happen to love her, so FUCK OFF!" Warren yelled. His gang of friends looked shocked.

"Whatever, man. Come on lets go guys." They turned and left with out a word.

(The gang had gotten pretty conceited since the Homecoming incident. They only hung out with certain people, with well known and respected parents. They didn't want to associate with people like...Pandora.)

"Warren, you didn't have to defend me. And you should go with your friends. They're right you know. I am just a lowly little orphan. The only reason I live alone and don't have to pay rent or anything is because my so called parents pay for it so they don't have to deal with me." I whispered as Warren shut the door. I walked to the couch, sat at one end and brought me knees up to my chest. "You didn't have to lie..."

"Lie about what?" he asked me as he sat down next to me.

"Loving me..." I said quietly.

"I wasn't lying Pandora, I love you." I smiled. A tear rolled down my cheek.

"Thank you." We laid down, wrapped in each other's arms as we watched INVADER ZIM! ( I love that show.)

He loves me? No. He can't possibly love ME. I don't deserve anyone like him. He's way too good for me...not to mention, I don't love him. I can't. I'm incapable of love, remember? I'm just using him for attention...right? Oh god...I'm not in love with him, I'm not in love with him, I AM NOT in love with him. DAMN my heart if it's in love. Damn it...I am NOT in love, I am NOT in love...Maybe if I keep thinking that...I'll believe it...DAMN YOU HEART! DAMN YOU ! I thought.
