A/N: So, hopefully you guys are enjoying the story, cause I plan on making it last for a while yet. But I also hope that I won't get any more writers block, like I did earlier on. Sorry for those of you who wanted this to go a different way, but I got an idea and went with it. This is the result. By the way, if her hair isn't black, sorry. She dyed it then . . .

Can you guys check out my songs and poems on FictionPress please? They all have either one or no reviews, and I wanna know what people think, even if you hate them.

Also, there is a One Direction reference in here. PM me if you find it!

I decided to reply to some reviews on here, as to make it a bit easier. I probably already replied to a lot of you, but my brain is like dead as of late, so you just get two replies.

amulet black rose : Thanks for the idea, but I have one of my own. Keep reading my story if you want to know more. I actually got a couple reviews with this idea. Again, sorry!

( ): sorry, but I have no name to reply. Chapter 13 hadn't been posted yet, that's why.

Mn): are you the same person as above? And what did you mean by 'mn:j'?

Estelle1286: Thanks, but I really didn't want to repeat myself too much. I've done it before, but I also got a review from someone else that reminded me that sometimes, its better to keep people wondering what characters are thinking rather than telling them.

11 (): I originally didn't either, but . . . you'll see! ;) thanks for the idea though!

Chakara1winxclub: I like your reviews. They're all long. And hey, this chapter is longer! Just for you! But thanks for the words of encouragement. They help. But, yeah, I do use FictionPress.

eab29: I know you don't. no one really does. And thanks for all the ideas. But, sadly, I used none of them.

DellyO: thanks, and I want to someday. Either that or a teacher. But I've got a while left yet. I know, I know he isn't. But oh well, it's my story. And another good idea. You're very attentive. No one else has realized that they are missing yet. But trust me on this: you will hear from them later (hint hint).

Risata4eva: thanks. And a quick update!

.Full: it just does. I love leaving you guys in suspense; it means more reviews and a quicker update then. See my point? I left it like that, and I'm already updating! Thanks for understanding!

By the way, the question is . . . who broke up with who? Lilly or Kenny?

"Why did you kiss her?"

I didn't look up, I was too afraid. Too afraid of his response. But he didn't say anything. So eventually, I looked up. He had a strange expression on his face. Almost a mix between proudness and confusion. What, he was proud that he cheated? And confused as to how I found out, because he thought he was just that good? A wave of annoyance came over me. He broke my heart, and was just confused as to how I found out? I shook my head, and backed up. That small movement seemed to jolt him out of his daze. His eyes widened, and he reached out to me. But I continued to walk backwards, away from my love.

"Wait, what?" he asked, confusion winning over. I just continued to take tiny steps. "Kiss who?"

This caused a tear to roll down my face. After all of this, he still played games, as if he had no idea what I meant? Well, if he wants to play dumb, I'll clear things up for him. "You know who. On our last night, I came out of the bathroom, and you were kissing-no, making out with- some girl. Why did you kiss her? Was I not pretty enough? Not smart enough? Did you not love me enough? I just wanna know: why?" I asked desperately.

"Mia, don't you ever think of yourself as not good enough, in any way. You are the prettiest, smartest, loveliest girl I have ever met. But I still don't under . . . stand . . ."

He trailed off, and I could tell he was remembering something. And I would bet that he was remembering that day.

Suddenly, he snapped back to today. But his face had paled. "Mia, I am so sorry," he said miserably. My heart broke because I could tell, by the look on his face, that my worst fears were true. I had already known it, but his confirmations just made the wounds burn more intensely.

"I wasn't thinking. It had been so long since I had seen her. I just was greeting her, and we got carried away-" he tried to explain.

"You think?" I ask, my face showing my broken state.

"I'm sorry." he says again, reaching out for me, but I shrink away. No matter how much I crave his touch, I don't want him to touch me right now.

"It meant nothing. She meant nothing. We never even really went out."

"Who was it?" I ask. I need to know, who was so good that my boyfriend cheated on me with her?

"No one." He tells me, but I know it's a lie.

"Please, just tell me." I ask again. I just need to know.

"It was Midori. She came back to America to work on a research project for a possible cancer cure. But I swear, it meant nothing! I only love you! I haven't even spoken to her since."

"Oh great, so you cheat on me with someone you don't even like? Thanks a lot. You were such an amazing boyfriend." I say sarcastically, ignoring the acrid pain inside my chest.

"Mia, what can I do to get you to forgive me? I'll do anything, I just want you back."

Ignoring his question, I ask one of my own. "Did you honestly not know I came out?" No matter the pain I go through with his answers, I need to know these things.

"No, I didn't. I thought so, because I thought that I saw you outside, running away from the restaurant. I even called your name. But I pushed it away, deciding that it was just my guilt, making me think that I had lost you. Only for my foolish heart to find out that it was the truth."

"Then why didn't you ever find me? Or even call?"

He looked at the ground sheepishly before replying. "I was ashamed of myself. Here I was, with this amazing girl who was in love with me, one that I had loved for years before I got up the nerve to do something about it. The one that I had come so close to losing before, and then I did something as foolish as that. I was embarrassed. You have guys constantly flirting with you. Princes who flirt with you, and you stay faithful to me, but I just see someone from my past, and I can't. I was afraid. Calling you would make it final, we were through. I had made a big mistake, the biggest one I had made since the Japan thing and Judith. It would mean that I had lost the most important thing to me. You."

I was speechless. He couldn't honesty mean all of that, could he? Not after cheating on me, I couldn't mean that much to him. Without even realizing it, I was crying. I only realized when I felt something moist hit my neck. I looked down from his face, a shocked look still dominating my face. After confirming that yes, it was a tear, I looked back at him, now with a questioning look on my face. I didn't know how he could love me, I'm no one special. Not like Midori, a genius who helped save lives, or Judith, who knew how to clone fruit flies. Or even like him. Before he was even twenty, he had invented something that would save millions of lives. What had I done? I was a freak princess. But I hadn't done anything to deserve that. I was born. And I had no choice in that either.

"How?" I finally managed to force through my vocal cords and out my mouth.

A confused look immediately took over his face. But he still looked concerned, as he had since I had begun crying.

"How what?" he replied.

"How could you love me?"

The look that was on his face now could only be described as, well, loving. But that just made me wonder more. And then he looked deep into my eyes and started talking.

"I love you because you're beautiful. But you don't even realize it. You think of yourself as anything but. You don't see the true beauty in you, and how you shine."

"I love you because you love me. You, no matter what happens, always loved me. And, let's ignore the mistake I made for a moment, you always knew I loved you."

"I love you because you care. You care about the whales. You care about people who are treated misjustly. You care about everyone in Genovia, and you got them a democracy. You care about other people, who treat you badly. You care about animals, so you became a vegetarian. You care for everyone and everything, and expect nothing back."

"I love you because you're amazing. You are so talented, whether you see it or not. You have a beautiful voice, and you are an amazing writer. You're the only person I know who was getting a book published before you graduated high school."

"I love you because you're modest. You get embarrassed easily, and you don't see how amazing you truly are."

"I love you because you always see the good in people. You saw the good person in Josh and Lana, even if, in Josh's case, it was a mistake."

"I love you because you're forgiving, you forgave Lilly for treating you badly, and you forgave Lana for being rude to you for so long. And hopefully, someday you can forgive me for my greatest mistake."

"I love you because you stand up for yourself. Even if you don't do anything at the beginning, if need be, you will speak out against unfair treatment. And you will do it without violence. You will be fair. And you stand up for others too."

"But most of all, I love you because you're you. You're Mia. The only one I have ever, and will ever love. You are all of these things and more. But you don't think you are great at all. If only you saw what I can see; you'd understand why I want you so desperately. But yeah, that's why I love you."
