A/N: Hey! I'm rewarding you with the next chapter because of the confusion I had with editing the last chapter. You don't have to read it, nothing changed except for a name, I promise! Thank you for all the reviews and story alerts and favorites! You guys are seriously the best! Especially FilinoFang you made my day!
Disclaimer: I do not own these wonderful people, just the story line, which is entirely fictional. Oh yeah, and I also have a quote in there from OMG, Jaime says it.
The Way I Loved You
by
Selena Gomez
"Everything's cool, yeah
It's all gonna be ok, yeah
And I know, maybe I'll even laugh about it someday,
But not today, no
Cause I don't feel so good,
I'm tangled up inside
And my heart is on my sleeve,
Tomorrow is a mystery to me.
Brian ran after Jaime, still yelling her name, "Jaime! Jaime! Jaime! I need you to stop! Jaime! Jaime! Jaaaaiiiimeee!" Finally, he finished going down the stairs and saw her, "Jaime! Stop! Come here!"
Jaime turned, and yelled back at him tearfully, "What else could you want from me Brian?"
"To know why you changed my fucking relationship status on Facebook!" he yelled back angrily, still running to get to her.
"What? I did not!" she replied, aghast that he would say that.
"Then what the hell is this?" he demanded, shoving the phone into her hand.
"You deleted it," she said slowly, not quite understanding what the issue was.
Brian sighed, "Yeah, but not before people saw it! Meredith saw it! And now she thinks we're together!"
Jaime's eyes widened, finally understanding the gravity of what she had done, "Brian! I'm so sorry!" she gasped.
"You sure as hell better be!" he yelled, still frustrated.
"Look, I'll try to fix this!" she said desperately.
"And how are you going to do that?" he said, defeated.
"I don't know! I can go talk to Meredith?"
"Like that'll work. She already wouldn't answer any of my texts before this mess started, and now you're involved, she really won't answer texts."
"I don't know, but I'll fix this, I promise!" she said, and started running off towards Meredith's apartment.

Julia didn't know what to do, she had never seen Meredith this heartbroken. Sure, Lauren had been in this position plenty of times, as well as Jaime, hell, even some of the guys came to her when they were heartbroken, but nothing compared to this. Meredith was sobbing uncontrollably, not even caring that Julia and Lauren where there.
Lauren had seen the status update, and come straight up; knowing Meredith wouldn't take it well. "Juls, what do we do? This is like the worst case of heartbreak I've ever seen!"
"I don't know," Julia sighed, "Even your worst breakup wasn't this bad, and this isn't even a breakup!"
Lauren looked at Meredith, very concerned, "She's normally so happy! Is this what happens when she gets sad?"
"I guess so, I've never seen her not happy," Julia said.
"I don't think anyone has," Lauren mumbled.
Suddenly, they heard frantic knocking on the door, "Let me in!"
"Jaime?" Julia asked, her eyes wide.
Meredith looked up, and said forcefully, with hatred dripping from her voice, "Don't let that bitch in!"
Lauren and Julia looked at each other, shocked, "Uh, Jaimes, I think we're gonna meet you out there," Lauren said. The two left the apartment, and saw Jaime leaned up against the wall and looked at her expectantly.
"I'm sure you two wanna know why I'm here," she sighed.
"No, we wanted to invite you in for tea," Lauren said sarcastically.
"Yeah, I get it, what I did was stupid, I already had Brian to tell me that!" Jaime said, the volume of her voice escalating at an alarming rate.
"Woah, woah, woah, woah, what do you mean, Brian told you what you did was stupid? He's the one who updated his status!" Julia said.
"No, he didn't, I did, on accident! I swear to Dead God I didn't mean to!"
"Why did you do it, though?" Lauren said testily.
Jaime shifted from foot to foot uncomfortably, "Well, um, we kinda did it," she mumbled, "and you know I still like him, right? So, I just wanted to see how it looked, but I guess I must have accidentally pressed the button."
Lauren's eyes widened, "You did it?" she shrieked.
"Yes!" Jaime said miserably, "I know we shouldn't have, but he was just feeling so many emotions, and I dunno, it just sort of happened. And then Brian made me leave, and I did, because he knew what we did was wrong, and he feels really bad about it, and I do too, now."
"Do you mean you didn't feel bad about it before?"
"Yeah, it felt really good to me, I wasn't really thinking about Meredith, just me, I guess. That sounds really selfish, I know, but I kinda wanted to be Brian's again," Jaime admitted. It felt good to finally get that off of her chest, even though now was a really bad time for it to happen.
"Jaime, that is the most selfish thing I have ever heard you say!" Lauren told her, "Now, I'm going in to check on Meredith."
Julia waited for Lauren to shut the door to continue, "Jaime, I know how it feels, believe me, I know, but you really need to get over Brian. It's going to be hard, I know, but he loves Meredith, I know it hurts you, but you are a strong girl."
"I know," she said softly, "It's just hard, you know? To love someone so much, but to not have them love you back, it hurts, you know?"
"I know Jaimes," she said, enveloping her in a hug.

Meredith heard Lauren yell that they did it, and couldn't take anymore, so she opened the window and escaped the building using the fire escape. She started running down the street, to where, she didn't know, but as far away from Jaime and Brian as possible. Unfortunately, Brian was who she normally went to when she needed comforting, so her feet automatically took her to his apartment building.
He was sitting on the curb outside of the building when she ran up, and stood up, "Mere?"
Meredith saw Brian stand up, "Fuck," she said, knowing that she couldn't turn around now, it would make her look like she was afraid of the truth.
"Mere, I know you saw the status-" he began.
"You're right I did!" she yelled, "How could you do that to me? You were my best fucking friend! First you go off and date everyone who's not me! And then as soon as we are both single, you go off and start dating Jaime! You had fucking sex with her, Brian! I thought maybe at last I could have a chance with you! But no! Of course not! I have to go and have my heart shattered all over my fucking floor when I find out you and Jaime are going out! And then she had the nerve to come to my home! Do you not know how much that hurt me, Bri?"
Brian finally found a place to cut in, "Yes! I do know how much that hurts Mere! You know why I was with Denise? To see if I could date a girl who wasn't you! It didn't work out, though! Every fucking time I saw you with Dylan, it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest! I've had to go through you dating everyone who wasn't me as well! And then the show, every time you and Dyl had to kiss in front of me, and then you would come backstage and continue! How do you think that made me feel?"
"You and Denise were just as bad! Making out backstage like you did! I'm surprised the audience didn't hear!"
"Well the audience did see you and Dylan!"
"You had sex with Jaime!"
"Denise was using me! She was only with me because she felt bad for me! I needed to let off some steam!"
"You could have come to my place!"
"I thought you hated me!"
"Why the hell would I hate you?"
"Because I tried to kiss you when you were with Denise!"
"I was trying to kiss you! I thought you hated me!"
The voices that had risen to screaming level were slowly quieting when they realized the other one didn't hate them. Then they realized their faces were mere millimeters apart.
"Dylan broke up with me," Meredith said simply.
"Denise broke up with me," Brian answered.
The two leaned forward and kissed each other finally, feeling the sparks that they had been yearning for. They shared their first kiss in the rain, never wanting to let go of the other.
There will be more! I promise! More drama, I'm sure! I'm going to be honest with you, I have no idea what is going to happen, but I am always up for ideas! Please review!
