Part IV: What you gonna do about it?

Juliet says hey it's Romeo, you nearly gimme me a heart attack
He's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
You shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
Anyway what you gonna do about it?

Adam walked down to the boys floor and knocked on the door.

"Something I can help you with Banks?" Portman leaned against the doorframe a smug look of triumph on his face. He'd won. Julie must have dumped the preppy. Adam stepped in and pushed him against the wall. "I wouldn't if I were you," Portman shook him off.

"What do you think you're gonna prove?" Adam stared him down. Dean looked at him. "I'm gonna marry her. We both know it."

"Isn't that up to Julie?" Dean said. Adam exhaled through his nostrils. He knew he'd lose in a fight to Dean Portman. It might make Julie change her mind about things though.

"I waited four years," Adam shrugged, "I can wait longer. Whenever she's ready."

"Maybe if you'd been man enough for her she'd have an easier time making up her mind," Dean stepped up. "I have to admit I was a little surprised it took two years for her to come back around."

"Look, I'll deal with that it happened once," Adam said, "Because Julie's been in a really weird place lately."

"She's only there because for some reason you think it's OK to force her into a life she never wanted!" Dean snarled. "I don't know why I ever let her go."

"You don't know her anymore," Adam said.

"I know she wants more than being some society housewife," Dean said, "And I know how to make her moan, that's something that you never forget." Adam lost it and punched him.

"If I hear that you ever touched her again," Adam said shaking his head.

"Again," Dean nodded calmly, wiping his lip, "That's up to Julie. You try that again and I'll kill you, get the hell out." Adam turned quietly and walked out. He'd proven his point.

Julie lay on her bed curled in a ball crying. She'd lost them both and she knew it. The night before had been a mistake, the nail in the coffin of her and Dean's relationship, and now Adam would probably never speak to her again.

"I hope those tears aren't for me babe," She looked up.

"Dean!" She whispered and sat up, he sat down and kissed her. She slid her arms around his neck. "I thought you'd hate me."

"I couldn't if I tried," He said laying her down under him gently.

"I told Adam about us," She said.

"I know," He smiled, "Your boyfriend has a hell of a left hook, especially for such a skinny guy." She looked at him and blinked.

"He hit you?" She sat them up and then noticed the slight bruise forming near his mouth. "Adam?" He nodded. "Adam Banks?"

"Unless it was some other little blond preppy kid who's girlfriend I slept with," He laughed. "Hey," He whispered and kissed her. "I'm OK."

"Yeah, I'd put my money on you in that fight," She sighed, "But what did you say?" He looked at her.

"You think I provoked him?" He said. She shrugged. "Julie, I didn't say anything that wasn't true!"

"What did you say to him?" She repeated. He sighed.

"That you don't want his life," He said. She closed her eyes and exhaled, "And that you deserved more than what he was offering."

"Dean, you didn't!" She stood up.

"What's wrong with you?" He took her hands, "I thought this was what you wanted. I thought you wanted us." He kissed her palms and pulled her close to him

"I do want us," She sighed, as he kissed her neck, "But that's not true."

"What's not true?" He looked at her.

"That I don't want what he's offering me," She looked at him, "I do want it. But I want you too."

"You don't know what you want," He said. They looked at each other. He shook his head. "Baby," He touched her face, "I can't wait around for you to figure it out." She closed her eyes and hugged close to him. "You want me, or you want him." She shuddered. "Now tell me," He kissed her, "What do you want?"

"You," She groaned, "I want you." They kissed tenderly for a few minutes as he lay her down and began undressing her. "Oh Dean," She sighed, his hand running up her bare side.

"Tell me you love me," He commanded and kissed her.

"You know how I love you," She whispered, sliding his shirt over his head.

"Were you really planning to marry him?" He asked. She sighed and pulled away.

"We'd talked about it," She said, "I got the feeling he was going to propose this summer."

"You're kind of young for it," He said.

"We wouldn't get married until after college," She shrugged, "It's not a factor anymore." She kissed him. "I'm with you." They kissed gently and made love for the rest of the night.

"Hey," Adam walked over to Julie the next morning, "So, um, have you thought about Paris?" She looked at him.

"Adam," She said, "Last night, I thought, I mean, after what I told you," She looked at him, "You still want to take me to Paris?"

"I forgive you," He said softly, "I love you, Julie." She sighed.

"But I don't," She looked at him and brushed his hair out of his eyes. He was so sweet, so good to her. Could she break his heart? "I don't about Paris."

"Julie, I don't want to push you," He said. "But I do want you to understand how I feel about you. Come on." He took her hand and pulled her outside, away from the . "I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and I, um," He kneeled down.

"Adam stand up," She said pulling him to his feet. "We're 17 don't be crazy, thank God no one saw!" He looked at her.

"I need to know that you choose me," He whispered desperately, "Julie, please." She swallowed. Standing here, she had no way to say no to him, to tell him that things had changed. He kissed her. "Choose me, please."

"Oh Adam," She sighed, "Couldn't you just be normal and get mad at me and break up with me? You're the only person on this planet who would react to me sleeping with my exboyfriend by trying to propose to me." He touched her face.

"You want to be with him don't you?" He sighed. She closed her eyes.

"I really don't know what I want," She whispered.

I can't do the talk like they talk on tv
And I can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
I can't do everything but I'd do anything for you
I can't do anything except be in love with you
