A/N: Hello all.
I hope that this chapter makes up for the last. Also, a little upset that I lost the original version of this chapter. It was so much better. *sigh*
Also... The next chapter will be the last. The epilogue.
Please be kind and let me know what you think. Thanks to those of you who did leave a review.
Happy Reading!

Knocking At Your Door
:
Lita could not believe that she was the one to break her friend. That was not her intention at all. To know that she was the one that put that devastated look on on such a beautiful face... that she shattered such a wondrous soul... it broke her own heart.
While it was true that she could not say that she was in love with Amy, Lita knew that she held her in high regard and that what she felt for her was more rooted then anything she felt for all of the boys she fell for in the past. Nothing compared to the comfort and rightness she felt when around the bluenette. It was just too new of a concept for her to want to rush this. Lita refused to ruin what could be. The brunette would make this right.
She just wished she would have realized sooner what her heart must have been screaming at her all this time.
Being as distracted by the distraught look on the little genius' face, Amy almost did not realize that she was talking.
"I... understand..." Amy took a deep breath to try and hold back her tears. She then slowly let it out as she turned her back on her tall friend. "I just believe..." She took another deep breath and let it out. "that we should spend some time away from each other."
As Amy moved to run out the door, much like earlier, she felt strong arms wrap around her before she could even take that first step. She could feel Lita press close to her back, her breath hot on her neck as her friend nuzzled the sensitive skin and the wet tears that made her mind reel with confusion.
"Please." Whispered Lita. "Please, don't leave me." Soft lips placed a quick kissed Amy's should as strong arms tightened even more. "You can't go. I wont let you."
Did she hear right? The desperation in Lita's voice? No. She was being foolish and trying to give herself unattainable hope. "I'm still your friend, Lita. I just need time. Let me go. I'm come back one day soon." Another deep breath as she felt the wetness on her cheeks now as well as her shoulder. "I promise."
"NO!" The brunette's voice was louder and her grip became almost painful. "Listen!" She realized her mistake when Amy let out a whimper. Her grip loosened just slightly and her voice softened. She had no desire to scare her friend. "Just because I can't say that I'm in love with you at this very moment... it does not mean that I care for you deeply and want to explore these new feelings. If you will give me the time..." Lita shook with emotion as she turned her little genius to face her, arms quickly returning so that Amy could not even think about getting away. "I know that soon I can honestly say that I'm in love with you."
Amy's eyes shined from her tears and the joy that spread throughout her entire being.
Lita smiled sweetly as she lowered her lips to capture Amy's in a short and chaste kiss. "For now, you will have to settle for just 'I love you.'"
:
There is a big difference between loving someone and being in love with them.
For one girl who was in love with her best friend... she was happy at the moment that said friend loved her with the hope of more some day.
There was a fine line between the love one held for a friend and that of a lover. One girl knew that it would not be long before she crossed that line and never looked back.
Neither could wait for that moment to come.
