"We can't. I want to, you have to know that but, look it's not right." Our eyes met and I could see it in his eyes. "I don't want this to tear our friendship apart." Why did I have to get caught up in his brown eyes every time we got close. "And don't think its you. I'm more worried about me. I can screw this all-" I kissed him. His endless battle had to be stopped sometime. "Emily that wasn't…" He leaned in again. His lips, so warm and soft. But before I could get to into it, he cut the moment short. Again.

"Christian…" I glanced at the clock that read 10:24 three minutes ago. Three minutes of that? Did, no could we have actually spent that long kissing? I wouldn't go to as far as saying making out but he was really into it. "we should probably go to bed. It was a big day today." He agreed and we said goodnight.


4:01 AM an hour past the witching hour or whatever that is in scary movies. Lucky me! I had to go to the restroom, which involved passing Chris. So I did my business. He looked quite uncomfortable on the small couch but it was his size. When he's asleep its so sweet and peaceful. Occasionaly he'll smile or laugh in his sleep. After the kiss we shared 6 hours ago I couldn't stop myself from wanting to lay with him. After all isn't that why he stayed the night? To be with me, near me. Why not make it closer? Hormones are a bitch for teenagers. He doesn't have it as bad. Yet. But anyways, enough arguing with myself. I will just go back to bed. With Christian. I tiptoed over and layed down against his chest and the warmth flowed through my body as I was sucked into a deep sleep.


I awoke with tiny arms wrapped around my waist pulling me tight and a head resting on my shoulder. It was only 7:45 which meant my mom would be here soon. Christian kissed my shoulder and neck thinking I was still asleep and he snuggled closer to me. "Hey, I should get in my bed." He made getting up a struggle. 30 minutes later the last person I would expect walked in the door and Chris walked out. "What do you want? Just going to rub it in or something?"

"I told him we couldn't be together because it'd hurt to much to see you in pain. Emily I am so unbelievable sorry. I never meant for that to happen. Justin and I won't be involved for as long as it takes for me to know that you won't be hurt. I can't risk losing you. We tell each other everything. Like that one time when you snuck into to Lukas Hendricks party?" We both laughed. Okay, Caitlin did hurt me but losing her is too much to bare. She's my best friend(that's a girl anyways). "Could you ever forgive me?"

"I can't be mad at you forever" I smiled and hugged her. "Caitlin, I know I can trust you. Don't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you. Please don't get mad."

It kind of appears this is moving fast but I didn't know when else to tell Caitlin. Chapter 8 might take a bit of time. I need to think of new conflicts and all that. Thanks :)
