Listen to Her Heart

It's been a year since Marco and Dylan got married and Tim and Ellie moved in together. Tim is finally getting ready to enter his senior year of high school. He loves Ellie, and has reconciled with his father, but refuses to move back into his parent's house. They like Ellie and trust them both. They have no problem with them living together. Marco and Dylan are happy that they made it one year of marriage, and are still capable of going to school as well as have decent jobs. Dylan is in his senior year at University. Excited for it to be done, so that he and Marco will be able to adopt children soon. That is one of their goals for their life together. Of course to be able to do that they are going to have to get better jobs and prove to the straight world that they really want children.

OoOoO

One day while Tim is at school Ellie decides to go into The-Dot for a bite to eat. As she enters someone calls her name. She looks around as she hears it again, closer this time. Before she knows what to do Sean is standing in front of her with his arms wrapped tightly around her, and pulls her lips close to his knocking the wind right out of Ellie with a very deep passion filled kiss. Ellie's knees buckle, and she is glad she is in Sean's embrace otherwise she would be on the floor.

"Sean, I've missed you." Ellie says forgetting all about Tim and the fact that this was the first time in over two years that she has seen Sean. They find a place to sit down.

"I know I've missed you too. I'm so sorry I left you. I just I had to get away from this place. You know what I mean?" Sean says unsure of his own words.

"It's fine. You're back now, and we can let the past be the past. So did you graduate?" Ellie asks trying to change the subject of how he had left her when she needed him most.

"Yeah. It was pretty easy to get through school. Going back to Wasaga actually turned out good. How are you doing? Are you in University?" Sean asks trying to get all his questions answered quickly.

"I'm doing good. I skipped out of the first year of University, but am enrolled in the same one as Marco now as a freshman. Are you going to University?" Ellie asks avoiding the fact that she was currently in a relationship with Tim.

"Yeah, well kind of more like school for aeromechanics. Are you going for journalism?" Sean asks trying to keep up a good conversation with out having to ask the dreaded question.

"Yeah I am" Ellie says. They then sit in awkward silence for a while.

"Yeah so…are you…are you…you know seeing anyone?" Sean asks dreading the response he is about to receive.

"I…I…yeah I am." Ellie says fearing how Sean is going to take the news.

Tim walks into The-Dot after school and sees Ellie sitting at a table with a guy. Tim gets his coffee and walks towards the table. Ellie hadn't notice Tim even walked inside.

"Oh…um…I didn't…I mean we never actually broke up…did we?" Sean asks oblivious to Ellie's boyfriend approaching the table.

"Um...well…no" Ellie says nervously.

Tim stops in his tracks. He isn't sure who the guy is, but hearing Ellie admit to have never actually breaking up with him was enough to make Tim worry. He decides to just go home and wait to talk to Ellie until she got there. Because he didn't want to make a scene at The-Dot.

OoOoO

Three hours later Ellie still isn't home and Tim is worried. He isn't sure what to do so he calls Marco.

"Hey" Marco says answering the phone.

"Hi, um are you busy?" Tim asks knowing that it's going to take awhile to figure out what he should do.

"Uh no really. Just watching some TV. Why what's wrong?" Marco asks knowing how Tim's voice gets when he is upset.

"I need your help. Can you come over?" Tim asks not wanting to talk about it on the phone.

"Yeah, I'll be there in like 10 minutes." Marco says quickly.

"Okay…thank you." Tim says before hanging up. He begins to pace back and forth.

Marco puts down the phone, and gets up to leave. Dylan grabs his hand before he gets completely out of reach.

"Where are you going?" Dylan says kind of confused.

"Tim said he needed me, and he was upset. He didn't tell me what's wrong. I'll be back in awhile." Marco says before kissing Dylan quickly.

"Oh well I guess." Dylan says kind of hurt that Marco is ditching him to go help Tim again.

"I'll be back later." Marco says annoyed at how Dylan is acting about this. Marco leaves and Dylan just glares after him.

Ugh sometimes I wonder if he knows that we are the ones that got married instead of him and Tim. Tim has Ellie now, so why does he keep trying to get with Marco?

OoOoO

Marco reaches Ellie and Tim's apartment and lets himself in. He sees Tim pacing back and forth.

"Tim, what's wrong?" Marco asks trying to get him to stop pacing.

"It's El…I…I…she's cheating!" Tim says losing it and falling into Marco's arms.

"Shh…calm down. Are you sure?" Marco asks really confused.

"Yeah…they were at The-Dot, she admitted to never breaking up with him and that was over 3 hours ago. She has no idea I over heard it, what do I do?" Tim says beginning to cry harder as Marco helped him to the couch.

"Calm down, I'm sure that its just a misunderstanding. I'm going to call El." Marco says reaching in his pocket for his cell phone.

"No…then she'll know I over heard." Tim says pulling away from Marco and reaching out for his cell phone.

"Tim chill, it'll be ok!" Marco says pulling his cell out of Tim's reach and using speed dial to call Ellie.

"Hey!" Ellie exclaims sounding a little out of breath or something.

"Hey um…where are you? We've been worried about you." Marco says.

" Oh shit, I just lost track of time. I was catching up with Sean. Oh my god! Is Tim freaking out?" Ellie asks.

" Yeah kind of!" Marco exclaims sarcastically.

"Okay…calm down tell him I'll be home in 15 minutes." Ellie says right before hanging up the phone.

"She'll be here in 15 minutes she said she lost track of time while catching up with Sean." As Marco says this he realizes what is going on. "Call me later if you feel like you need too" Marco says quickly. He went downstairs and waited for Ellie to get home. As soon as she got there she got there she kissed Sean, not realizing Marco was watching. Sean pulled away and that's when Ellie noticed Marco. Marco stands up from the steps and walks over to her.

"El, what was that? What are you doing screwing around with Sean? You know how he is. He'll end up screwing you over like he always does. He'll get what he wants from you, and then leave."

Marco says all of this with his hand on Ellie's shoulder so she couldn't get away from him.

"It was nothing Marco we just talked." Ellie was cut off by Marco.

"El, you kissed him. I saw it. Tim heard you admit to never breaking up with him. We're not going to let you get hurt!" Marco says bribing Ellie's shoulders tighter.

"Then leave me alone. Let me sort things out on my own. I really do love Tim, but Sean is still a part of my life. Maybe he waited to long to come back, but I still love him, and I can make my own decisions. Good night," Ellie says pulling Marco into a hug and kissing his cheek she whispers, "I love you!"

"I love you too El," Marco whispers kissing her cheek.

OoOoO

Marco walks into the apartment to find Dylan asleep on the couch. Marco smiles as he thinks.

He is so perfect, and cute. I'm so lucky to have him. He gets so jealous, but he has no reason to. I mean I love him more than anyone else could ever even imagine.

Marco walks over to the couch and sits down on the floor next to it. He kisses Dylan to wake him up. Dylan opens his eyes, and pushes Marco away.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Marco asks as he watches Dylan turn to the other side facing away from Marco.

"You spend more time with Tim and Ellie than you spend with me. I'm sick of always falling third in your priorities." Dylan says still not looking at him.

"Dylan, you know that isn't true. Why are you so jealous of them? I love you. I care more about you than either of them. You aren't third you are first. You will always be first." Marco says putting his hand on Dylan's shoulder.

"Just leave me alone right now." Dylan says still not really responding or looking at him.

"Fine, I love you more than anything else though." Marco says squeezing Dylan's shoulder and kissing the back of his neck before walking into the bedroom.

OoOoO

A/N: Sorry it took so long. Life very crazy! New job, senior year of high school it's all starting out crazy. Plus trying to find time for everything and everyone! Ugh! I hope you like it. I'll try to get the next one up in a week or two.
