Me and Noah's "perfect" moment was interrupted when my phone rang. I was really pissed off, only because I wanted that moment to last. But, my anger faded once I saw the call was from Erin . I flipped open the phone and ignored Noah's annoyed face.

"Yeah?"

"Where are you? I got worried." He whimpered.

"I'm with… at Noah's. I couldn't find, one of my… shirts." I hated lying to him, because I'd been so honest with him before that.

"Oh, well, do you want me to come pick you up?" He asked.

"Naw, I'll walk back." I glanced at Noah, and he looked confused. "Yeah, yeah, bye." I hung up the phone, then looked at him.

"You're leaving?" He asked.

"Just because you kissed me doesn't mean we're together again or anything. I just didn't have the strength to fight back because I'm so madly in love with you." I said the last sentence all in one breath.

He made a face, and he looked even more confused than before. "But I love you too, so why can't we just—"

"Because I'm not the only person you love." It hurt like hell having to say that, and it hurt even worse having to know it was true. "You love Courtney, too."

"N-no!" He stuttered. "Not like that! She has Duncan . Besides, I don't want her, I want you…" He tried to grab my hand but I pulled away.

"I'm sorry, but I just don't know what to do. I don't like to 'forgive and forget.'" I probably was crying by then.

"Please, just think about it." He pleaded.

I sighed softly. Am I being stupid? I love him more than anything or anyone. I'm deeply in love with him. He says he loves me too… So am I just setting myself up for another heart-break? If I do forgive him, and we're together again, what happens if he just hurts me more? But if I don't forgive him, how will I be able to live? I love him too much to just let him go…

"I'll think about it." His face got brighter, "But," I continued, "that doesn't mean I'm staying. I'm going back to Geoff's." I thought it was a little better to use Geoff's name instead of Erin 's. "And then I'll talk to you tomorrow."

Noah nodded, then stopped. "Wait, you stayed at Geoff's last night?"

"Mmhmm." I mumbled. "They found me," I swallowed hard, "in the alley and he invited me over. Him, Bridgette, Trent, and Gwen all crashed in front of his huge T.V. so I got up to leave and ran into his brother Erin. He told me he didn't want me walking home that late so I went up to his room with him."

"Oh." Noah grumbled bitterly.

"Don't you 'oh' me. Nothing happened." I reassured angrily.

"Alright…" He replied quietly.

"Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow." And on complete accident, I gave him a kiss, then quickly left before he could say anything.

I broke into a run once I was about halfway down my block. I started to cry, only because I was sick of having to deal with all this shit.

Erin was waiting impatiently in his front yard when I got back. He looked really worried, especially when I came up crying. He simply hugged me and told me it was going to be okay. He didn't ask me what happened or anything. All he cared about was making sure I was okay. It reminded me of someone.

After about five minutes of non-stop hugging, I stopped crying. I pulled away from him a little bit and gave Erin a soft smile.

"Thanks." I whimpered.

"No problem." He smiled back.

He took my hand in his, and opened the door. Just as we stepped through, I stopped him.

"Erin, can I talk to you?" I asked.

"Sure," He gave me this concerned look.

"Well, I just wanted to tell you something." I paused, "When I was at Noah's, he kissed me and told me he loved me..." I felt Erin's grip on my hand start to loosen, "But I told him that I didn't exactly trust him," It tightened again. "I don't think that was why I didn't want to stay there, and you know, forgive him and stuff, though. I think it was because I'm in love with someone else, too."

Erin raised his eyebrow, "Who?"

I brushed my lips softly against his, "You."
