A/N: I know it's been a while…and I am so sorry, but here is an update for you all.

Enjoy!

"What do you want?" Tom asked me. We were standing at the counter at a Starbucks close to my house.

"Oh…just a Peppermint Mocha, please" I said to Tom. He nodded and looked back at the woman behind the counter.

"Two Venti Peppermint Mochas" He said to her.

"Okay, those will be right up!" she said cheerfully as Tom paid her.

"Thanks," he said to her, as we walked over to wait for our drinks. Tom looked at me, "Want to go sit down, and I'll wait for the drinks?"

I nodded, "Sure." He smiled at me as I walked over to a table by the window. I sat down and looked outside. I smiled slightly as Tom sat in the chair in front of me. He handed me my drink, "Thanks" I whispered.

"You're very welcome," He whispered, taking a sip of his coffee as I did the same. He set his drink in front of him and looked directly at me, "Cam, how are you?" he asked softly.

I looked at him for a second, "I'm fine, thanks, and how are you?" I replied.

He shook his head slightly, "No…I mean, how are you, really?" he said, his voice growing quieter.

I ran my hand through my hair and took another sip of my coffee, "I don't know Tom," I whispered, wiping some tears from my eyes and shaking my head, "I don't know."

He nodded, "I know Cam," He whispered, "I know that things with you and Dougie aren't going that well. Do you want to talk about it?"

I looked up at him, "I don't know what it is," I said, "I don't know what happened to him. He isn't the same guy that I knew. It's like he doesn't care anymore. About our friendship. About me…"

"He cares about you," Tom whispered to me, "He cares about you a lot"

I shook my head, "He doesn't Tom, if he did he would have treat me better then he has been…"

"Listen Cam," Tom said, scratching the back of his head, "Just because he treated you badly doesn't mean he doesn't care about you."

"As far as I know you don't blow off someone you care about to shag someone." I snapped.

"I'm not saying that what Dougie did was okay," He said, reaching across the table and stroking my arm, "I'm just saying that he does care about you, he cares about you a hell of a lot."

I looked him deep in the eyes, "How do you know?" I questioned.

"Listen, I know that I don't know you as well as Dougie does," he started and I nodded, "And I know that I don't know Dougie as well as you do."

"Yeah…" I whispered.

"But there is one thing about Dougie that I know and you don't." he said, sipping his coffee.

"What's that?" I asked, my heartbeat speeding up.

"He's in love with you." I looked at him, and tried to blink back tears that were forming in my eyes. Tom noticed, and reached over and grabbed my hand, "No, no, no, don't cry…please don't cry…" he whispered, stroking my hand with his thumb.

I shook my head, "I'm in love with him too Tom" I whispered, choking on my tears.

"Then what's the problem?" he asked.

I looked at him, as tears fell from my eyes, "I don't want to be."

A/N: Okay…I know it was short. But, I think it was pretty good. So, now I am not exactly sure how many chapters I will have left…

Review, please, your reviews give me the encouragement to update.
