It has been way too long since I've updated; small case of writers block, I guess. I know where I'm going with this story and I now have a basic idea of how I plan to get there, but some areas are still sketchy, so please just be patient with me and I promise I'll get there eventually. Anyways, thanks to everyone who reviewed; it's what makes me keep writing. And I do not own anything from The Covenant or Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, but oh how I wish I did.

Chapter Ten: All That Matters

"Are you taking me away to kill me?" I asked while we drove down the road. We're going towards Boston and that's all I know.

"No," Reid said chancing a quick glance in my direction before focusing back on the road.

"Because if you are, could you try and make it as painless as possible?" I continued. He just laughs. Driving off into the dark with a guy that I have hated for most of my life does not make me feel all that great about my current situation. We may be friends now, but on some level I still think this is all part of the Reid Garwin master plan to completely obliterate what is left of Leslie Tucker's social life. Making me the laughing stock of the entire school would probably be fair punishment in his eyes for my deep, unwarranted hatred of him for so many years. I am most definitely lacking trust in this boy, faith too. This boy who happens to be driving way too fast; I should have brought a helmet.

"I'm not killing you tonight; I might later on though," he joked, or I think he was joking. He was laughing.

"Now why would you want to go and do something like that?"

"I don't know yet, but I'm sure you'll do something to piss me off later on though." Is he forgetting that it's him that usually pisses me off, or have I always made him angry too? Now that's a thought. I stared at him for a minute before answering, thinking about that last thing he said. Maybe I'm not the only one in this love/hate relationship who did all the hating. I'll just let it go for now though.

"Yeah, probably. So, where are we going?" He just laughed.

"That was amazing," I said as I walked into my dorm room that night around three in the morning with Reid right behind me. He shut the door. And the room suddenly becomes extremely uncomfortable. I don't think there's enough air in here for the both of us.

"Thank you; I had a really great time," I said. He had taken me to a Red Jumpsuit Apparatus concert in Boston. I was surprised he remembered me telling Kate they were my favorite band. I didn't think he was listening.

"You've said that a couple times already. Once is plenty, although I do love the adoration." He was moving closer to me. This is not good.

"Yeah well," and then he cut me off. He kissed me and this time it was more what I always thought a Reid Garwin kiss should be like. It was a lot rougher than the sweet kiss he gave me outside the dorm door the other night; it had a lot more tongue too. Yet somehow, it still made me go weak in the knees, and I definitely think I would have hit the floor right then and there if he hadn't of had his arms wrapped so tightly around me.

He started moving towards my bed and I was more than willing to follow him until it dawned on me what in the hell I was doing. It hit me when we hit the bed.

"Stop, I can't," I said while pushing on his chest.

"Why not?" He looked a little ticked off.

"Because…"

"Because why?" He was not giving up on this so easily.

"Because if we do then Andy would be right." That doesn't even make sense to me.

"You're going to have to explain that a little more," he said sitting up a leaning back against the headboard. He was not getting off the bed.

"You're the reason we're not friends anymore."

"Yeah, I kind of figured that much out, but you're not friends anymore, so what in the hell does it matter what she thinks?" He said looking exceptionally handsome in the dim light.

"You're right, but I'm still not sleeping with you." He had a valid point, but it still didn't feel right. And I'm not that girl. I'm still a virgin and I really don't plan on becoming Garwin's newest conquest. It just doesn't really sound like a good title to have. We sat there for a few more minutes in an akward silence before I got up and went to the bathroom to change into my pajamas. When I came back out Garwin was in my bed, presumably in his underwear seeing as I could tell he had no shirt on and his jeans were in the floor. I hope he's got underwear on; I'm tired and I don't feel like changing the sheets.

"I said no sex."

"Okay, but I'm still sleeping here." He just stared at me and I walked over to my now empty roommate's bed.

"No, you're sleeping over here," he said. I just looked at him and was about to tell him that I sleeping in the other empty bed, but I didn't. I just walked over and laid down beside him.

"Night Leslie," He said reaching across me and turning off the bedside lamp. He gave me another small kiss on the lips and pulled me next to him, wrapping an arm securely around my waist. He had on his boxers, much to my relief.

"Night Reid," I said before falling into a peaceful sleep.
