A/N: Sorry it took so long to update! Thanks for the reviews! Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend :)
Livvie and Connie were on their way to Chemistry class when the rumor that Anna had started the previous night had spread. Everyone was whispering and looking at Livvie.
"What the hell is going on?" Connie asked, looking at Livvie but she just shrugged as she nervously wondered what they were talking about and why everyone was looking at her.
Connie spotted Julie at her locker and pulled Livvie towards her as they walked to Julie. "Hey Jules," Connie greeted.
"Hey, Cons," Julie said with a smile, and then looked over at Livvie. "Whore." She said, as she walked past her.
Livvie gasped and walked over to Julie. "What did you just call me?"
Julie rolled her eyes. "I'm pretty sure you heard me." She said, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Jules!" Connie shouted. "What's your deal?"
Julie raised an eyebrow and sighed loudly. "Well, I'm not usually one to listen to gossip, but with all the shit that Dean's been pulling lately, this latest rumor did not surprise me." Livvie raised an eyebrow, not knowing what Julie was even talking about. "Oh, come on. Don't play dumb with me."
"Julie," Livvie started. "I really have no idea what you're talking about."
"You slept with Dean!" Julie blurted out.
Livvie's mouth fell open. "What?"
"Like I said," Julie started. "Don't play dumb with me."
"Julie… I swear, I didn't-"
"Save it, please." Julie said, as she walked away from the two girls.
Livvie looked over at Connie, who appeared to be in the middle of a deep thought. She snapped out of it and looked at Livvie. "I know who started the rumor."
"Anna!" Charlie shouted, spotting his half-sister from across the hall. He ran over to her, and folded his arms over his chest.
"Hey, Charlie," She greeted, with a smile that turned into a frown when she saw Charlie's expression. "Why are you so angry?" She asked. "Have another fight with Linda?"
Charlie shook his head. "Have you heard what people are talking about this morning?" He questioned her, as she played with the ends of her blond hair.
She shrugged. "The disgusting meatloaf for lunch?" She suggested, closing her locker.
He shook his head. "Their talking about how Livvie slept with Dean."
She nodded. "Okay… and this concerns me how?"
"Because I know you're the only one evil and dare I say jealous enough to start a rumor like that."
She gasped. "Wow, thanks!" She said, as she walked away, but he pulled her back towards him. "What Charlie? What do you want?"
"Did you start the rumor or not?" He questioned, staring into her eyes, but she didn't answer. "Anna." He said, raising an eyebrow.
"Fine! I did!" She confessed. "But only because Julie was trying to steal Adam from me!" She told him.
"I highly doubt that," He said. "Since I'm pretty sure Julie's in love with Dean." He continued. "Why did you throw Livvie's name into the mix, huh? Was it because you're jealous that she's dating Luis now?" He questioned. She shook her head. "Come on, Anna. Stop playing these stupid games… You know their only going to get you into trouble."
She rolled her eyes. "I don't really care." She said, folding her arms over her chest. He sighed loudly and was about to speak again but was interrupted.
"Anna! God dammit!" She heard a familiar voice yell from behind her. She spun around and cringed when she saw Luis approaching her.
"Have fun." Charlie whispered, teasingly, as he walked away from his sister. She sighed as Luis came before her.
"What the hell is your problem?" He questioned, angrily.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." She said, as she tried to continue walking, but he stopped her. "Let go of me!" She demanded.
"Not until you admit it."
"Admit what?"
"Admit that you didn't like that I wasn't chasing after you anymore, and you couldn't accept that I was actually happy with Livvie. Admit it, Anna; please just admit it so you can stop making a fool of yourself."
She frowned. "You're the one talking crazy, not me." She told him, wriggling free out of his tight grasp. "I am not jealous of you and Livvie, that's for sure!" She informed him. "I'm very happy with Adam, as a matter of fact!"
He shook his head. "Then why did tell everyone that Livvie and Dean slept together, huh? To make everyone else's life miserable?"
"No. I didn't start any rumor." She told him.
"Anna, its bad enough that you actually started this stupid rumor, denying it is even worse." He told her, angrily.
"Luis, listen to me," She started. "I have no reason to be jealous of you and what's her face, because I really don't care if you're happy, as long as you're out of my life, I'm very happy." She said, coldly.
He shook his head. "Guess you're still the same old bitch from last year." He said, angrily walking past her.
"Hey," Livvie said, sliding her tray onto the table as she sat across from Luis.
He looked up at her. "Hi, baby." He greeted, pecking her gently on the lips. "Listen, I talked to Anna-"
"I know she's the one who started the rumor, Luis." She told him. "But I just don't understand why… I don't remember doing anything to offend her." She said, as she began eating her food.
"It really has nothing to do with you; it's all about her and her jealousy." He informed her. "If I was dating anyone else, they'd be in the same position as you right now."
She nodded. "But why would she be jealous? I thought she was dating Adam?"
"She is," He told her. "But she can't stand the fact that I'm happy with someone else," He continued. "She doesn't like that I'm not chasing her around anymore, that I'm not giving her any attention… you understand?" She nodded. He smiled sweetly at her. "Just forget about it for now, it'll all blow over soon."
She shrugged. "How am I supposed to deal with all these people talking about me? I've never been in this situation before."
"Just ignore them, and they'll stop. I promise, okay?"
She nodded, and smiled at him. "Why didn't you ask me if it was true or not? The rumor, I mean."
He shrugged and looked up at her. "Look, whether it's true or not, I don't really care… It's your past to tell, not hers." She nodded. "I trust you, and if you slept with Dean, I'm okay with it."
"I didn't sleep with Dean." She assured him.
"Good," He said, with a smile. "But even if you had, it wouldn't matter to me. All that matters to me is us, right here, right now." She blushed at his words, and he smirked, kissing her hand. "Okay?"
"Okay." She said, with a smile.
"Adam! I'm sorry. Julie was trying to make a move on you, and I needed to get her back somehow." Anna said, as she followed Adam into his dorm.
"Anna," He said, turning towards her. "Julie was not trying to make a move on me," He told her. "She was upset about Dean and needed a friend, that's IT!"
She crossed her arms over her chest. "How am I supposed to believe that when she calls you at midnight to go over to her dorm? And the girls! They all said they saw you kiss her cheek." She argued.
Adam shook his head and sighed. "And you actually believed them, Anna?" He questioned. "You know the only thing those stupid girls care about is gossip, so they obviously over exaggerated!" He said. "Why don't you trust me, Anna?"
"I do trust you!" She told him. "It's Julie I don't trust. Ever since her break up with Scooter she's been all over you! And don't say she hasn't! You wouldn't even understand, you're a guy, you don't know how girls are when their heartbroken and vulnerable."
Adam sighed loudly. "Whatever, Anna." He said, walking over to his desk. "I'm just really tired of your stupid games and all this childish behavior of yours. You're fifteen, not twelve." He said.
"I'm sorry…" She whispered. "I was just… really angry, and jealous! You did ditch me for Julie, and you know I had when you do that." He didn't answer. "I love you, Adam. Please forgive me, you have to."
He looked at her, her eyes were pleading for him to say something. "I love you too," He started. "Just… not when you're like this." She looked at the ground as he approached her. He placed both hands on her shoulders, and then brought one to cup her cheek. "You're so much better than that, Anna, and you know it."
She shook her head. "You're probably the only one who thinks that." She said. "No one believes in me like you do. I really don't know what I would do without you." She told him. "Don't give up on me yet."
"I'm not, honey, I promise." He said, bringing her into a tight hug.
Connie sat on her bed as she attempted to do her homework. She hadn't seen or spoken to Guy in three days, which had been the longest they had gone without seeing each other, and she was starting to really miss him despite her anger with him.
She heard a knock at the door, but didn't feel like getting up from her bed, so she shouted "Come in!"
The door swung open, and there was her Guy. His hair was a mess, and she had never seen him look so terrified in his life.
"Are you pregnant?" He questioned, approaching her, worriedly.
She folded her arms over her chest and waited to give him her answer. Why did he even care if she was pregnant or not? He was the one who had run out of her room like a scared little baby, so why would he care?
"Connie, answer me, please." He breathed.
"No," She said, shaking her head. "I'm not pregnant."
He sighed, relieved. "That's great, baby!" He said, walking over to kiss her, but she pushed him away. "What's wrong?"
"Let's say I was pregnant, Guy," She started. "What would you say?"
He shrugged. "It doesn't really matter because you're not pregnant…"
She frowned. "Guy! Do you not understand what you did?" He shook his head. "You were going to abandon me and leave me alone to raise our baby! Do you think I can just forgive you for that?"
"Cons…" He started. "I'm sorry, I was just scared." He told her.
"So was I!" She shouted. "But I couldn't run from it like you could. I was alone, and terrified without you! How could you do that to me? How could you make me deal with this alone?"
He shook his head. "I'm sorry, Connie." He said. "I wasn't thinking clearly, I was scared to death! I just needed some time to think about things."
She shrugged. "Well, now I'm the one who wants to think about things," She said. "So, I think you should leave, now, please."
"Connie!"
"No, Guy, please just leave." She told him. "We're not breaking up, but I just need some space."
He sighed and nodded, walking towards the door. "If it makes you feel any better," He started, keeping his back towards her. "I haven't slept since you told me you were pregnant."
And with that, he was gone.
