I didn't sleep. Although it was late, I wasn't tired. In the literal sense, anyway. You see, I was tired; tired of being cheated on, tired of being hated, tired of being uncared for, tired of being ignored, and tired of being alone. Once again, not in the literal sense. I didn't want to be around people, but I was completely empty inside. I was alone. What made me want to kill myself, was the fact that I had felt this feeling before. Honestly, I had been feeling that my whole life… until I met Noah. Then I felt like I could rely on someone. I thought he'd always be there for me. I though he would always care. But I was so wrong it's not even funny. He dropped me for a cheap slut like Courtney. Poor Duncan… maybe he felt the same way as me. Just the way he looked at her made me feel so…. Jealous. I always thought someone like her wouldn't give him away so easily… but once more, I was wrong. She doesn't care that she's all he ever talks about. She doesn't care that he loves her more than anything in the world. The same way Noah doesn't care. I could die out here, and all he'd care about was how much publicity he'd get for dating me. But whatever, at that point, I wanted to die.

I sat there. Five and a half hours, just by myself. I kept telling myself I didn't miss him, but I knew how hard it was to lie to myself. I was heart broken. After a while, my heart hurt so bad, I threw up. I didn't even know that was possible. It is absolutely impossible to explain what a broken heart is like. The pain is unforgettable. My sides and throat had hurt from crying too much, and my stomach felt like someone set it on fire. My head ached, and my arms and legs were horribly sore.

I pushed my back up against a rock, then closed my eyes. I actually fell asleep. And I knew I fell asleep, because when I opened my eyes, I saw Noah. He looked like he was about to cry. My eyes were teary enough as it was. Unfortunately, I soon found out it was not a dream, and he was actually standing in front of me. This was horrible because I didn't want to have to deal with him. All I wanted was for him to hold me. That was it. But I knew he was going to want to talk to me, and I knew I would have to listen to whatever he had to say, because I was in too much pain to move.

But, I was wrong. All he did was sit next to me. He held my hand, and put my head on his chest. I fell asleep in about and instant.

When I woke up, Noah was still there. He hadn't moved, yet I could tell from his eyes he'd gone to sleep. Not for very long, though. He glanced down at me and smiled softly. I loved it when he smiled like he did. It mended some of my broken heart. Isn't that pathetic? He could cure my broken heart with a smile.

I wanted to lean up and kiss him. I wanted to tell him I was sorry. But I couldn't. I couldn't let him off that easy.

"Noah…?" I choked out.

"Yeah?" He replied sullenly.

"Did you kiss her on purpose?" I whimpered, "Tell the truth. I want to know."

He stared out into the distance. "No."

"Then why'd you do it?" I asked, although this time I sounded pissed off.

"Courtney told me… stuff." He said quietly.

"What?" I asked.

"She told me you and Duncan…" He stopped.

"Never." I spat immediately. "I would never do that. You know I wouldn't. And…. You… You believed that stupid bitch?" I fell off his shoulder and I was now standing up. My eyes were completely open and I felt like snapping Courtney and Noah's necks.

He wasn't shocked by my reaction. He just looked at me, "Yeah… I did believe her. I don't know why… but I did, because Duncan and I hate each other. I wouldn't be surprised if he took advantage of you just to smite me."

"You're so blind." I spat.

This time he looked surprised. "What? Why?"

"You think Duncan is the type of person that would take advantage of me? Have you even been paying attention to Courtney?" Suddenly, I put the pieces together. I knew why Courtney did what she did. "I wasn't the one who got taken advantage of… it was you."

His face was full of doubt. "Mmhmm."

I frowned, "Courtney got jealous. Me and Duncan have been hanging out a lot lately. She probably got pissed off and decided to make me suffer. It's obvious."

Noah knew I was right. "She is really protective…"

"Ya think?" I sneered.

He sighed softly, "Whatever… I couldn't care less about Courtney… not after she did that to you."

I flashed him a smile, then I just stood there.

"Are you just gonna stand there?" He asked, his eyes flickering to the spot next to him.

"I still haven't forgiven you yet."

He looked confused, so before he could ask why, I said, "You can't even begin imagine what I went through. And it still hurts." The last sentence was really weak, but true.

He looked upset. "We should go back to camp." He stated suddenly.

What? No argument? No buts? He didn't even fight back… I thought in shock. Quickly, I choked out, "Oh, yeah. We should."

He smirked, "We're gonna have to sneak back; students aren't allowed to go into the woods without an adult escort."

I giggled silently, he sounded so professional.

"But first," he began, "Help me up?" Typical Noah, too lazy to even stand up.

I let my hand fall down and then he grabbed it and I pulled up. He moved forward quickly, then pretended to trip on a rock. He fell on top of me, and I swear I saw him smile. "I'm so sorry," He snickered.

I tried to frown, but it was more of a really crooked smile.

Suddenly, out of no where, no warning whatsoever, he kissed me. He didn't stop, and neither did I. I kissed him back, hardcore. I gripped onto his hair, and he pushed his tongue into my mouth. His lips moved from my mouth to my jaw, then to my neck.

I shuddered, then quickly whined, "Stop it…"

He stopped immediately. "Why?"

"I'm going to just let you back into my life…" I whimpered.

He looked at me again, realizing his attempt hadn't worked.

"Aw, what the hell." I smiled, pulling him into another kiss.
