The last Chapter, go me!

Chapter 14- "I give up"

The days passed and everyday Lena felt more depressed. She didn't want to fight with Bee and Carma. She just wanted to be friends. She had probably lost more body fluids this week crying, than she had in her whole life. Today was the day that Steve came back. Tibby had said that he came back once during the week to go on a date with her, but other than that, no Steve. Lena was happy that Steve was coming back, but still sad that he was choosing tonight. She didn't want to have Steve as a boyfriend anymore. It just wasn't fair. She had to call Tibby. The phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Tib."

"Lena?"

"Yeah, I was just calling to say that we don't have to share Steve, you can have him."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, but you have to beat Bee and Carmen to get him."

Tibby stared at the ring Brian gave her. She wondered how much money he had spent on it. He must've really liked her to buy such a spectacular ring for her. "No," Tibby said, "I've got Brian, and I just realized how much he loves me."

"Wow, Tibby, that's great."

"You know what you're right; I have something that I don't want to lose. Bye, bye Steve, hello Brian."

"You are absolutely right Tibby, go with Brian. He really loves you."

"Thanks Lena for calling. I need to call Brian. Can you call Bridget and Carmen and tell them we're out?"

"Sure can; bye Tibby."

"Bye."

They hung up and Lena called Bridget first.

"Hello?"

"Hey Bee, Tibby and I just wanted to say, that we're sorry and we don't want Steve. We're over him."

"Really? That is so nice of you Lena."

"I didn't do it to be nice, I did it to get my friends back, all three of them. I want it to be just the way it was. Boyfriend or no boyfriend."

"You know what, Lena? You're absolutely right. We should all go back tom normal. Besides, I have Eric, and that's all I need."

"Yep. So you give up too?"

"Of course."

"Great, now Carmen gets Steve, and it's fair."

"Yay."

"I'll call her."

"Okay bye."

"Bye."

Lena hung up and called Carmen.

"Hello?" Carmen answered her phone.

"Hey Carmen, it's Lena. I'm calling to say that the three of us have given up. We are all surrendering Steve to you. He's not worth it. I just want our friendship back Carmen, I don't want to suffer a lifetime friendship for a guy." At that, Lena started crying.

"Lenny, don't cry. We're friends again. I'm sorry I got mad at you. You made me realize, it's not worth it. If all of us can't have him, then no one can. I also give up. I love you Lena, like a sister, and you can't lose a sister. I have Win, I remembered. I don't need Steve; he is a waste of time."

After goodbyes, the two girls hung up, glad that that was over.

It was 5'o'clock and all 4 of the sisters were together at the park, and Steve soon joined them. "Girls, I'd like to say I thought long and hard, but if I had to choose one of you I would choose—"

"Save it Steve." Tibby blurted.

"Yeah, we don't want to hear it, no one cares. We're mad at you for what you did and how you split us apart, and then just taking off like that—" Bee started.

"You should be ashamed!" Lena shouted to finish her sentence.

"Yeah, because we're sisters and we stand together through thick and thin, weak and strong… Point is, we're gonna stick together with or without you." Carmen said. With that all the sisters left. Steve was left dumbfounded.

It was a day later at Lena's house that all the sisters met. They were awaiting the arrival of the "brothers" as they decided to call them. All four of them walked in at the same time. Each brother grabbed their sister and squeezed them tight. Lena and Paul were left standing, feeling very awkward. Lena, feeling very brave, walked to Paul. "I am sorry we didn't get to talk much before," she said.

"That's okay. I am not a big conversation guy."

"And I am not a big conversation girl."

"I just am shy. That is how I am."

"Me too."

Paul laughed. "Would you like to go out sometime?"

"I sure would."

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No, why do you think I hang out with them?"

Paul and Lena laughed together this time. They hugged just as the others stopped, and suddenly there was a wolf whistle coming from Eric. They all laughed and decided to go out for lunch. They all had a great time and couldn't wait to spend the rest of the summer with each other.

Yay- Author's notes!

Some questions you may ask:

Why do I start from the end?

Because it is easier for me to do it that way.

Why was Lena so brave?

Because she had been so depressed feeling lonely, that she chose to stand up and take Paul.

Who did Steve chose?

Steve was going to say Lena, because she was the one that really drew him. He was astounded when she said he should be ashamed.

Why do so many stupid things happen to Tibby?

I, as a writer, just go along with a story and try to make it as funny as possible. Tibby is just someone that stuff like that happens to. That makes it hilariously funny, and it makes the tense part smooth.

Did Effie ever do any work?

Of course not, but Carmen and Bridget were too stupid to realize that.

Why are there 18 chapters?

Because I like to express myself by writing and I am a loser who likes to type a lot.

If there are any other questions you would like to ask, please review it.

I am kind of making a sequel. It is a work in progress though. I have two other Sisterhood stories right now, When Paul met Carmen, and Stuck with Her! Stay in touch!
