I didn't get three reviews, I got one. I hope this chapter is good regardless.

Lex's Point of View:

I had just gotten out of the shower and dressed when Caroline walked into the bathroom with me. She sat me down in front of the mirror and started to French braid my wet hair. When she was finished she straightened the fly-aways and started doing my makeup.

"You're glowing, Lexi. What did Matt do this morning that was so exceptional?" Caroline asked, smiling as she did my mascara.

I knew my cheeks were turning pink as I bit my bottom lip. I self-consciously pulled my shorts down lower over the mark that Matt had left on my right thigh. Her eyes flashed down at my movements and she started to laugh.

"Matt went down on you, didn't he?" she asked, perching on the ledge of the sink. "I was just like this the first time Tyler went down on me."

I laughed and hid my face in my hands; I really didn't want to talk about it. "It's mine and Matt's sex life; I don't really want to talk about it. Or yours and Tyler's for that matter."

She just shrugged and finished my makeup before we both went out to her car. We sang and danced goofily to the radio and I could tell that this was going to be a good day. With the way it started, something awful had to happen to ruin it.

Matt's Point of View:

"What's got you so happy this morning?" Jeremy asked as we leaned against the bar. "You're happy glow is blinding."

I knew better than to tell him about what happened between me and Lex that was just for us to know. I ended up saying, "It's just Lexi. She's perfect."

He looked at me and I could feel the heat from his glare. He was the one who told me that he was falling for my girlfriend. He was my best friend and he was falling in love with my girlfriend, the girl that I loved more than anything.

"Can I talk to you outside?" he asked, his shoulders tensing.

I nodded and walked out with him, hoping that nothing went too far. As soon as the door shut Jeremy turned around and held out his arms. I looked at him with a raised brow and waited for him to start explaining why he was acting like such a lunatic.

"You're in love with Lex, I get that and I respect it. Just don't rub it in my face all the time, Matt!" he said, clenching his fists by his sides.

"I don't know what you're talking about. Lexi's my girlfriend and I'll talk about her all I want to," I shrugged. "Don't even get me started on 'respect' when you openly admit that you're in love with your best friend's girl."

"I had feelings for Lex long before you two were a thing. She's been my best friend for pretty much our entire lives and then you came into the picture. She never talks to me anymore unless you're busy. Do you know how awful that feels? To be replaced?" he asked.

"I didn't get with her to make her forget about you, Jeremy! I got with her because I'm in love with her and I need her," I said, trying to calm myself down before I did something stupid. "I don't have anyone but her, Jer. Why can't you let me have this?"

"It's not like I have a ton of people there for me either. I have Elena who's a vampire and shoved so far up Damon's ass it's almost comical. I'm just as alone as you seem to think you are except I don't even get my best friends because they're always together," Jeremy said, turning around and punching the wall.

"We're not always together to spite you, you're allowed to come hang out with us but you don't," I said, shrugging my shoulders.

"Would you want to watch me be all over Lex all the time and not be able to do anything?" he roared as he whirled around to face me.

I don't know what came over me, but I threw my arm out to Jeremy. My fist connected with his face and it reared back. He dove at me and pinned me to the ground, getting in a few punches of his own. I was too far gone to feel any pain as I rolled us over and hit him some more.

"Oh my God, stop it!" someone shouted from the end of the alleyway. "Why are you all fighting?"

I couldn't place the voice and the moment I got distracted Jeremy started pulling his knee up and into my ribs. I groaned as hand wrapped around me and threw me to the wall, holding me there. I looked down and saw Caroline was holding me back as Lex and Bonny had Jeremy against the other wall.

"What the hell are you two doing? You're best friends and you're beating the shit out of each other! That's not what you're supposed to do!" Lex shouted.

I could see hysterical tears pooling in her eyes and all the adrenaline left my body. All I wanted to do was take her in my arms and kiss them away. I saw Jeremy relax too and knew that he was seeing the exact same thing I was. He truly did love Lexi.

Lex's Point of View:

The pure fear that had welled up inside of me diminished when the guys relaxed and was replaced with anger. More anger than I had ever felt in my entire life. I wanted to scream at them but I wouldn't with Bonny and Caroline out here with us.

"Bonny, Care, can you guys go inside and leave us alone for a minute? I need to talk to them," I said, moving away from Jeremy. I saw that they were both skittish to leave me alone with them so I said, "They're not going to hurt me, I can promise you that."

The nodded before disappearing around the corner where I knew they were eavesdropping on the conversation. I took a deep breath and placed my hands on my hips as they each spat out a mouthful of blood they'd been holding because of Caroline.

"Do you two Neanderthals want to tell me why you were fighting?" I asked, tapping my foot impatiently against the concrete.

"It wasn't anything, Lex. We were just being stupid like always," Jeremy said, trying to smile but wincing when it hurt his face.

"That's not true and I don't appreciate you lying to me. Tell me the truth right now," I said, not backing down.

"Go for it, Jeremy. You were all gung-ho for telling me what was wrong, why not tell Lex?" Matt asked, spitting more blood on the ground.

"I don't care who tells me but one of you better start talking before I start throwing punches!" I shouted, ignoring the snickering coming from Matt. "And I'll start with you, Matt Donovan."

"I don't even care anymore about keeping it a secret," Jeremy said. Then he walked up to me and stood right in front of me, "Alexandria Forbes, I'm completely in love with you."

I felt my heart start racing as his words sank in. He was in love with me and I had feelings for him but then there was Matt. I loved Matt with everything in me but I had a slight crush on Jeremy. Fuck shit dammit.

Yeah, I'm not even going to put anything here.
