Chapter 7

Joey's POV

I was still stressing the fact that Mary found someone else. She kissed the guy right in front of me. I would never kiss Natalia in front of Mary. It's like she doesn't care about my feelings at all. When she said she would never want to me my friend I didn't know what to do. I tried to hold back my tears, but they just came flowing. I went out with her for 3 months. Could this really be how she felt about me. It was a mistake to break up with her. I had to win her back, but how?

"I had an amazing time at that five star restaurant," Natalia said while we were in front of the red light.

"I'm glad you had a good time," I said.

"Don't you want to say you had a good time too?" she asked.

"Natalia, I'm not going to lie, I didn't. I think I would have a much better time with Mary." I stopped in the front of her house.

"What do you mean by that!"

"I'm not trying to be mean, but I don't think were a good couple," I said.

"Joey are you breaking up with me!"

"Yes, I thought it was obvious. We could still be friends." Just as she was about to say no way, she said,

"I would love to be your friend, thanks for all the good times." I was overjoyed. With out Natalia in the way I had a chance to win Mary. When I was on my way to my house I saw something really disturbing. James was kissing a girl, and the girl wasn't Mary. I took a picture of it. I couldn't believe he would cheat on Mary. I turned around and was on my way to Mary's house. I had to show her this.

When Mary opened he door, I lost myself in the moment of seeing her and kissed her. I was scared of what she would say so I didn't let my lips escape from hers. Weirdly, she didn't fight with me. She didn't kiss me back, but she didn't pull away. It felt amazing. When you kiss someone you truly love it is like your in heaven. I fell in love with her when I first danced with her. She danced like an angel with her beautiful red dress. I missed doing this. Kissing her, dancing with her, laughing with her. I made the hugest mistake. I finally pulled away.

"Well," I asked. She was glowing. She was happy that I kissed her. I had a chance. But knowing Mary, she would lie and say that she didn't want me to do that.

"Joey, I'm going out with James now. You can't do this. Your with Natalia. You broke up with me, remember. You need to forget me," she said. I ignored all the words she said.

"Mary you love me. You know you do. I broke up with Natalia to win you back. You didn't pull away."

"I didn't want to be rude," she said.

"Yeah right," I said. "I went out with you for 3 months, I could tell when your lying." I keeled in and gave her another kiss. This time she kissed me back. I was going to win her back. She eventually pulled away.

"Joey, I love kissing you," she said. She started crying. "But I can't do this to James. He was there for me when you weren't. I can't do this."

"Come here," I said pulling her into a hug. I didn't want to make her feel upset. I just wanted to show her that I loved her. "Do you love James?" I asked. She pulled her head off my chest not pulling out of my hug and looked up at me.

"Yes, I do," she said.

"Your lying Mary, I could tell when you lie." she became quiet and pulled out of the hug. She wiped her tears. "Even if you do love James, trust me he doesn't love you." I said.

"What makes you think that Joey?" I pulled out my phone and showed her the picture.

"Wow," she said. "I thought he would always be there for me."

"I'm really sorry Mary, you don't deserve this. I will always love you no matter what. You could pretend you don't love me back, but I now you do." She started to cry again.

"I do love you, but I can't go out with you. You broke my heart once, and you would do it again if you had to. Just get out. I've been trying to forget you, and you always coming back in my life won't help. James kissing that girl was probably a mis-understanding. I don't love James because I haven't really gotten to know him. You broke up with me because I didn't want to go public. James would never do that."

"Mary, it was a mistake. I should have never broken up with you, I love you and you know that. Would you really want to marry that James gug. Grow old with this James guy. You love me and you know it."

"Get out," Mary said under her breath.

"What?"

"Get out."

"Why?" I asked. "Don't you see what James did to you. You don't love him." I ended up crying. "You love me." Someone started knocking on the door. Mary opened it. It was James.

"What's going on here?" he asked.

"I was just asking Joey to leave. Sorry I couldn't call, I lost my phone privileges. I know that you kissed that girl but I'm sure it's just because I wasn't there," said Mary.

"Oh. Mary I'm sorry. I thought you stood me up. I feel horrible now. I was just mad and upset. I should have never done that," James said.

"It's okay. I thought Brit called you but it ended up being a trick. She wanted to break us up."

"Mary, you don't love him," I started. "You love me. Stop pretending you hate me and love him. Take me back. I love you please."

"She's going out with me!" James yelled.

"I am?" Mary asked.

"Yes, I wanted to ask you out in front of your house when I brought you back home but plans changed. Mary Santiago, will you go out with me?" Was James really going to ask Mary out in front of me. Before Mary got a chance to answer, I kissed her to remind her that she loved me. Not shocking at all, she didn't pull away.

"Mary?" James said. Mary pulled away when she heard James's voice. She was speechless.

"Mary you love me. What I did to you is wrong and it won't happen again. I love you," I told her.

"I...I don't know what to say."

"Mary I was there for you, you laid on my chest we had a connection," James said. He kissed her.

"James...I would love to go out with you. Joey please leave," she said. I couldn't believe it. Did she really do this.

"Fine, I'll leave, but I'm fighting for you Mary Santiago. You just met James on a blind date. You met me on the dance floor. We didn't even know what each other looked like but we still fell in love. I will win you back Mary. I will.
