AUTHOR'S NOTE: So here's the next chapter in the story. Hope you love it! And if you do, please review :)

SILVER POV:

Silver stepped off the elevator into the hallway of the hotel's 17th floor. As she walked down the corridor she thought about what had happened over the last hour. Silver knew she had to talk to someone and that someone couldn't be Teddy. The hour drive back to Beverly Hills had really made Silver's emotions settle. It had given her time to think which is exactly what she thought she needed.

Room 1721. Here we are.

She stood there looking down at the floor before reaching up and knocking on the door. The door swung open seconds later.

"Hey."

"Hi" she said as a smile spread across her face. "I missed you."

"Come here." Ethan returned the smile while he pulled her into a tight hug. "I missed you too." He released her from the hug and continued. "I'm just glad you called." He finished with a smile.

"Me too. I'm happy you're in town."

"Well you know the only reason I visit my parents is so I can see you."

"Oh, I know." Silver said, feeling her worries start to dissipate.

"So what's up? When you called on the phone, you kind of freaked me out."

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to wake you or anything. I just really needed to talk to someone."

"Don't be sorry. Come in." he said, removing himself from the doorway, motioning her to follow. "Sit down." He said moving towards the table "So what's up? What's wrong? Because the Silver I know would not be visiting me at 1 in the morning for nothing."

"It's embarrassing really. I don't really want to talk about it now." She said as she sat down across from him.

Ethan shot her a curious look before she felt pressured to continue.

"It's about this guy actually." She said, feeling even more embarrassed hearing the words coming out of her mouth.

"So that's why my best friend calls me up. Not to be like, 'Hey Ethan. What's up? I haven't seen you in almost a year' but to call me about boy trouble?"

"I know. It's pathetic right?" she asked, placing her head in her hands.

"No." he laughed. Silver peaked through her fingers and then lifted up her head. "I completely understand. I am the sage word of advice when it comes to relationships. I mean, look at me and Annie, or better yet, Naomi and me. People call me the Love Doctor. It's kind of embarrassing but when you've got the skill, you've got the skill." He said straight-faced.

"I thought it was the Love Guru." Silver teased. "God, you really do suck at relationships don't you? I should get myself a new best friend."

"Oh, really? I thought I was special."

"Not so much, no."

"So who's the lucky guy this time? Is it that Topher guy or whatever his name is?"

"No." she responded, knowing exactly who he meant. Ethan raised his eyebrows in skepticism. "Ok, yes. But his name is Teddy." She confessed.

"I was close. So, what happened? I thought you said you were done with him after the Winter Dance. At least that's what you said when you called and were like 'Ethan, you're my smartest friend in the whole world. Tommy just stomped on my heart. I think I'm going to kill myself' " he teased. Silver couldn't help but laugh at the sound of him miserably trying to mimic her voice and his melodramatics.

"I did not say that." She said laughing.

"Close enough."

"And stop messing up his name. I know you remember it's Teddy."

"Whatever." He responded.

"Tonight he just said some things. I found out that Dixon is a complete–"

"What? Jackass? Because, I hate to tell you this but I've known that for a long time."

"Shut up." She said with a smile "Teddy kissed me though. He completely bombarded me with all this stuff about how he thinks he could love me. Whatever that means. I'm just confused. So what if I think I'm in love with him? It doesn't matter. I don't know how I'd ever trust him. I have no idea what–"

"Silver?" Silver stopped talking and looked over at Ethan.

"Guys normally are pretty uncomplicated so, word of advice. And you should listen to me because I'm the Guru." Silver saw Ethan crack a smile. "If this guy says he wants to be with you, then he wants to be with you."

"He's never been that type of guy. There's no reason why he would change. I just don't think I can do it. I can't have him break my heart."

"He changed for you"

"Yeah, ok. Where did you get that line from? Dear John? Because it sounds like complete crap."

"I know but it's not. You're just going to have to trust me on this. Maybe he's just finally realized what I've known for a long time. You're one of those girls who are irreplaceable. I'm just lucky you decided to stay friends with me after that crap I pulled on you last year." Ethan paused. Silver was glad he didn't divulge any further into what had happened at prom the previous year; it was still a sort of uncomfortable topic.

"And hell, if this guy is crazy enough to fall in love with you then Thank God because everybody knows you're impossible."

"Whatever" she said, rolling her eyes, knowing that Ethan wasn't completely off base.

NOTE: To answer HongKonger's question about the upcoming suicide attempt on 90210…No, I doubt it'd be Teddy. It seems way out of character for him. I would think it's more likely to be Ade, Annie or possibly Jasper. I'm putting my money on Jasper personally.

What do you guys think???
