Part 10- All Their Good For?

(Ana)

I came back into consciousness slowly; I groaned at the throbbing my head was doing. I rolled over and kept my eyes shut; not wanting to wake up yet. I sighed and tried to remember what happened last night. I had an itch on my thigh and I reached down. What the hell? I lifted up the blanket to reveal nothing but my bra and panties.

"Oh my god! Oh my god!" I kept repeating in my head.

My head flew to the right and spotted Sawyer sleeping soundly. I quickly threw the covers back and crawled out of bed; trying to be quiet so I don't wake him up. I walk to his closet and grabbed a shirt and threw it over my head. I walked quickly to the pile of clothes sitting next to the bed. I put on my jeans. As I was walking out of the room I kicked Sawyer's dresser.

"Ouch! Son of a bitch!" I yelped in pain.

Looking over, I see Sawyer waking up. Just 'effin great. I turn the knob slowly and pull it open. Just as I was about to make my escape; the door squeaks and Sawyer speaks.

"Where you running off too Chica?" he said with a sleep filled voice.

"I was getting something to drink." I lied, hoping he was buying it.

"You look ready for school." He said sitting up.

He quickly lay back down and his hand went to his forehead.

"Oh god…" He groaned. "I need aspirin."

"I'll get it!" I said quickly and left the room.

I took a deep breath full of relief. Even though I have to come back with some aspirin for him. At least I got a small escape; just for a minute. I walked into the bathroom and splashed my face with water. I looked at myself in the mirror while trying to figure out what the hell happened last night.

I sighed and walked back into the bedroom. Sawyer was now sitting up with some water in his hands. I sat next to him while tension filled the air.

(No One)

"What happened last night?" Ana asked quietly looking at her hands.

"I don't really know…" Sawyer said not making any attempt at eye contact.

They stayed quiet for another ten minutes. Both of them are racking their brains trying to figure out what happened and why. The only sound in the room was the ice in Sawyer's water hitting the glass cup.

"Did...we…" She said slowly trying to find better words. "…have…sex?"

"I don't think so." He said drinking the rest of his water.

(Sawyer)

I finally did it! I pulled something so stupid; stupid enough that our friendship is most likely over now. I told her I didn't know what happened last night but, in all truth… I remember all of it. That was and always will be something I'll remember. Just sitting here thinking about it is making me more uncomfortable about it. Obviously she doesn't remember what happened last night and I feel bad about that but, I will not be the one telling her. I hear her sigh and I want to just hug her and tell her everything is cool but, I know that she knows it's not cool. I closed my eyes and tried to fight the memories of Ana.

"I think I'm gonna be sick!" She said frantically running out of the room.

What a way to kill an awesome memory; I think as I open my eyes and search for some clothes.

(No One)

After Ana-Lucia emptied out her stomach contents, she groaned and brushed her teeth. Leaving the bathroom she closed the door and walked into Sawyer's room once again. This time she found him by the window… wearing clothes. She quickly turned her head when she saw him look at her. Sawyer recognized this and groaned silently; and so it begins. If they can't make eye contact now and solve this dilemma then it will probably never get fixed; which means no friendship.

"I think I'm going to go home." Ana said quietly.

"Are you sure?" He asked, Ana nodded. "Want me to drive you?"

Ana shook her head no and silently left the house.

"Damn it!" Sawyer whispered loudly. "Shit, shit, shit!!"

Ana walked quickly towards her house; right now she just wanted to get as far as possible from this block. She was almost to her house when she took a detour; she walked down a couple blocks and stopped in front of Libby's house. She hesitated for a second but, then walked up the front walk and onto her porch. After ringing the door bell she waited.

"Hey Ana…" Libby smiled as she opened the door.

Ana continued to stare at her feet; barely letting Libby's presence be known.

"Everything okay?" Libby asked. Ana shook her head no and Libby ushered her into the house.

She told her the whole story about last night while Libby sat in silence comprehending the words being thrown at her.

"Wow…" Libby said. "Ok so are you guys together?"

"No! That's the problem." Ana said with a large sigh.

"Maybe, you both wanted it but never wanted to jeopardize the friendship." Libby reasoned with her.

"No I never wanted that." She said shaking her head.

"Ana, I've seen the way you guys have been looking at each other lately. There's a spark there whether you see it or want to believe it." Libby smiled slightly.

"What do you mean?" Ana asked confused.

"For instance, last night at the party when you were making out with Connelly, Sawyer stared at you too with so much jealousy. Or, when Jenna would giggle at him and you would glare."

"That's because I hate that tramp!" Ana snapped.

"I know but this wasn't that kind of glare." Libby grinned.

There was a long silent pause before Libby spoke again.

"Ana do you love Sawyer?" She asked quietly.

Ana stayed silent thinking about what Libby just asked her. Of course there will always be that friendship love between them but, last night was different. There was so much lust and passion between them that no one else could ever have. Ana swallowed hard and stared at her hands.

"Yeah… I do." She finally said; barely audible.

"Well you need to talk to him and tell him that." Libby said with encouragement.

Ana nodded and stood up; she slowly walked to the front door and opened it. She stopped and turned out.

"Thanks Libby." She said as she walked out of the house.

Ana sighed and tried not to shake from the nervousness that had come over her; she was now walking back to Sawyer's house in hopes of telling him that she has feelings for him and hopefully he'll have them back.

She finally reached his street and had to keep breathing fast so she did have a panic attack. How was she going to say this? Especially after what happened last night; as wonderful as it was, they were friends and never let it go any further than that and last night was… was… much further.

Ana climbed up the back stairs and entered the house quietly. She could hear Sawyer talking to someone and she hoped it wasn't to himself. She stopped at the doorway as saw Hurley sitting there listening to Sawyer rant on.

"…chicks are just so confusing sometimes and after last night…with all the shit that went on…girls are only good for one thing." Sawyer said with a frustrated sigh.

Ana had to keep herself from crying at what he just said.

Sawyer was sitting on the couch in silence with a drink in his hand. He knew he drank to much last night but today was worse so he decided to drink and make it better. Only when he saw Ana standing in the doorway with tears in her eyes; he knew that he just made it worse.

"Ana wait!" He said.

He quickly got up and followed her outside. She never stopped; just kept walking as fast as her short legs would carry her.

"Ana wait!" He yelled again.

"Screw you Sawyer!" She yelled.

They were now in front of his house and he was following her down the street.

"Ana, I'm sorry about what I said. I wasn't thinking." Sawyer said; his voice filled with desperation.

"Yeah I know you weren't." She snapped. "Is that all I was Sawyer? Just a piece of ass?" She said angrily; still walking.

"What?!" He yelled. "No Ana not even close."

"Well you could've fooled me." She said.

Ana turned the corner quickly; she was almost close to making her escape. She could see her house coming up and couldn't wait for that chance to get away from this; from Sawyer. Neither one of them noticed Rose sitting on her porch watching.

"Ana, will you stop and talk to me?" He yelled.

"You've said enough." Ana said wiping her face quickly so he couldn't see her crying.

Sawyer finally had enough; he quickly grabbed her arm and swung her around. He wasn't ready to take what she was giving. Sawyer frowned at the sight of her tears. He sighed and put his hand on her cheek and used his thumb to wipe them away.

"I'm sorry Ana." He whispered.

"Save it Sawyer I don't want to hear it." She sobbed quickly.

"Please, just listen to me." He pleaded.

"Do you know why I was coming back?" She asked. Sawyer shook his head.

"I was coming back to talk about last night. How good it felt to be in your arms… how much I would give to be in them all the time. How much I love you, how much-"

"I love you too." Sawyer interrupted. Ana stopped and looked at him.

"Wh-what?" She asked.

"I said I love you too." Sawyer said; his lips curling up into a cocky smile.

Ana stared into his eyes for a moment trying to figure out if all this was happening. Finally not caring about anything but him right now; she broke into a grin. Sawyer grabbed her shoulders and pulled her into a massive hug; pulling away he grabbed her chin and brought it to his lips.

Rose watched on from her porch. After hearing them confess their love for each other and share this passionate kiss. She couldn't help but get teary eyed. Those two were just as cute as can be.

I toned down some of the swearing, I got a little carried away there. Sorry about that. Please Review!!!
