I stood there, shocked. The green eyed boy, Daniel, just stared at me weirdly. But I couldn't say or do anything, I was in deep utter shock. When he introduced himself just seconds ago, my heart felt like it had come to a halt. But now, it was as fast as the flutter of a hummingbird's wings.

I couldn't believe it. It's Victoria's real boyfriend. Well, the word 'real' is an understatement, but whatever. The guy she chose first, the guy she decided to cheat on was standing face to face with me. After all those tears and heartbreaks I've gotten from Alvin, all that feeling or hurt and disbelief of being called a liar...

But it felt so surreal, almost impossible in a way. The one guy who stood between me, Victoria and Alvin, was standing right in front of me. It was all the proof I had wanted, proving that I was telling the truth all along, and not Victoria. It was never Victoria.

"Her boyfriend?" I asked, as if I was unsure.

"Uh, yeah." He said.

I don't know why I was feeling this, but I was feeling somewhat happy and...relieved? What the hell? Why? After a whole month of leaving every feeling I've felt for Alvin, why is it suddenly coming back? Why am I feeling like my old insecure self again? I thought I made it clear to myself when I said that Alvin was nothing to me anymore. Just an old distant memory of what should have been, and could have been, something else...

We were best friends since we were 5, we spent out whole lives together, grew up together and at one point, fell in love with each other without the other one knowing. But now, after he fell in love with another girl, he's proven to me that everything we've been through was pointless and that it had meant absolutely nothing.

And after sticking up for his lying two timing cheat of a girlfriend and calling me a liar, it told me that the friendship we've had for the past 15 years of knowing each other was gone forever. He chose his girfriend over me - the gril who would do anything to protect him, the girl who knows him and trusts him.

The girl who loves him...

Do I still love Alvin? After a month of being with Anthony, and being happy and feeling like myself again, do I still feel something for the boy who murdered my heart and feelings? Just like my sisters said, is being with Anthony just a way to forget about Alvin?

Did I even forget about him at all?

But before I could answer my own question, Daniel cleared his throat. I snapped back into reality and looked at him. He was still looking at me, as if expecting me to say something. I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment. I must have spaced out - again.

"Uh, sorry." I said. "You were saying?"

Daniel shook his head. "Nothing. Um, you mentioned that Victoria already left for class, right?"

"Yeah." I said.

"Okay then, nevermind. Sorry for disturbing you. I guess I'll just come back when she returns from class." Daniel said abruptly.

"Wait." I blurted out without knowing. Then I gulped, asking myself what the hell did I just do? Dammit, what do I do next? He's waiting for me to say something!

"Yeah?" Asked Daniel.

I sighed before saying the first and only thing that popped into my mind. "Why don't you come in for a while." I said. "If you want, I'll take you to Victoria's class afterwards."

Daniel smiled. "Really?"

I smiled back. But to me, it was more of an evil, sinister-like smile. "Of course. I bet she's gonna be so surprised to see you." I said as sweetly as I could possibly make my voice sound.

"Thanks." He said.

"No problem." I said, stepping to the side to let him enter. "Come in. I'm Brittany, by the way. Victoria's my roommate."

But trust me, it took all of my inner strength to try and sound nice when I spoke about Victoria. When I listened to myself talk, I found it weird, since I have never spoken about Victoria this way before. Yeah, even though I know I'm faking it, it still sounded weird to say Victoria's name without adding an insult or something.

"Really? Cool. Nice to meet you, Brittany." Said Daniel.

I closed the door behind him and followed him into the living room, where he sat on one of the couches, and where I sat on the sofa across from it. There was pure silence for a moment. It was getting pretty awkward, and I didn't know how to start.

"Can I get you anything?" I asked.

"No thanks." He said, then he looked at me. "Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't you be in class?"

I froze. I began to swear multiple times in my head. How the hell did I forget? I mean, I was getting ready for class just moments ago. But I guess when it got interrupted by Daniel's sudden appearance, it completely left my mind. But should I go to class? My mind made itself up before I could answer myself - no. Skipping one day of class won't kill me. And besides, I was feeling a bit on the revengeful side today. I can't afford to miss the look on Victoria's face when she sees her two 'boyfriends' face to face with each other.

The bitch has a LOT of explaining to do.

I shook my head. "Not today." I lied.

"Oh." He said, and he sat back. "So, how is Victoria?"

I bit my tongue to prevent myself from saying anything rude. But I told myself to just hang on because it'll all be worth it at the end when Victoria's secret is finally exposed. So I just had to fake talk about how I thought about Victoria, just for today. I didn't want Daniel to see me as rude. I didn't need to see another person pick Victoria's side again.

I sighed to myself. "Oh, she's fine." I said.

Daniel smiled. "What do you think about her?" He asked.

I found that question to be a bit weird, but I figured it was just a 'boyfriend' thing. It was clear that he missed Victoria, and he wanted to know how she was doing. Poor guy...

"Umm..." I couldn't tell him what I really thought of Victoria, but I didn't want to lie either. "Well, she likes...pink."

Oh god, I'm such an idiot.

Daniel laughed and nodded. "Yeah. She can be a bit of a girly girl sometimes."

I said nothing at first. I mean, pink is my favorite color, and I also like to wear pink clothes, and people have called me 'girly' before. But now, realizing how a few simple things can make two people seem so alike, made me not wanna own anything pink anymore. The last thing I needed was to be compared with Victoria.

When I didn't say anything, Daniel continued. "Man, I miss her so much. I haven't seen her since August. But I guess it's not that bad, since I talk to her on the phone almost every night."

I froze. "Wait, what?"

"Victoria calls me almost every day. I just spoke to her 2 days ago." Said Daniel.

And that's when it hit me. Ever since that whole feud between me and Victoria started, we were hardly in the same room together. The only times we were is when we went to sleep. I mean, we're roommates. We have no choice. But sometimes, when she was in our room, and I was out in the living room, I would hear her on the phone. I always figured she was talking to Alvin, and that time, it never bothered me. But now, after hearing what Daniel said, could it be possible that she was talking to him, and not Alvin?

"She does?" I asked.

Daniel nodded. "Yeah. I bet you would know, since you two are roommates. Her phone calls always last more than 2 hours."

I said nothing at that. THAT SCHEMEING BITCH! After all the shit she saw me go through, trying my hardest to tell Alvin about her lie, she has the nerve to act like it had never happened, and just continues to cheat behind Alvin's back? I couldn't believe it. I knew how schemeful Victoria was, but this is getting way too unacceptable.

Wait, why do I care though? It's not like I care if she hurts Alvin. Alvin deserves getting his heart broken. And I wasn't afraid to admit it, but I hope it would happen soon.

But I smiled. The smile I wore on my face was so fake, it hurt. "Aww, that's so cute. Victoria must miss you a lot."

"Has she ever mentioned me?" Asked Daniel.

I continued to smile fakely. "Oh, a few times." I said truthfully.

Daniel seemed to beam at that. Okay, to tell you the truth, I did feel bad or him. He seems pretty nice and very genuine. But I felt even worse for him for having Victoria as a girlfriend. The poor guy has no idea what's coming for him.

"So, are you good friends with Tori?" Daniel asked.

I wanted to laugh out loud. Me and Victoria as friends? Pretty hilarious stuff, considering how impossible it was. But I shrugged casually and said, "We're not that close."

"Oh. Well, Victoria is a pretty shy girl." He said.

I raised my eyebrows, trying so hard not to say anything insulting. "Really." I stated, my voice full of doubt.

Daniel didn't seem to notice the tone of my voice. He nodded and said, "But she's the sweetest girl I know."

"Oh yeah. She's a sweetheart." I said, hiding the sarcasm in my voice. Yet, I felt the acidity in my tongue as I said it.

It was interesting to hear someone else's perspective on Victoria. It was just plain stupid and extremely pathetic, knowing that people thought of her as this perfect, innocent girl. I mean, she has the cold-heartedness to make two different boys fall in love with her, and tell them that she loves them both, then stand there and deny the fact that she's a two timer!

"She is." Said Daniel.

I cleared my throat, wanting to change the subject. "Anyway, how long have you known Victoria?" I asked curiously.

"I met her 3 years ago at a party. We started dating a month after that. In fact, next Friday is our 3rd year anniversary." Said Daniel.

"Is that why you wanted to visit her?" I asked.

"That's half the reason." Said Daniel. "I just wanted to see her in general. It's been way too long since I last saw her."

I sighed to myself. I began to feel bad for Daniel. Just like Anthony, he seemed so sweet. I just can't believe what Victoria has done. Not only to Daniel, but to me, Alvin and herself.

"Well then. She's gonna be extremely surprised to see you." I said.

"I hope." He said. "I told her I wasn't going to visit her until later in the summer when she returns back home. But I just said that so she wouldn't be expecting me any time soon."

"Seeing you is gonna be pretty unexpected." I said, secretly meaning it another way, of course.

"Yeah, I know." Said Daniel, clearly showing his happiness. "I can't wait to see her face when she sees me."

I laughed lightly to myself, but said nothing. I couldn't wait to see her face either. Her shocked, Crap-I-Am-So-Dead face.

After another awkward moment of silence, I asked, "So, how long did it take you to drive up here?"

"About 7 hours." Answered Daniel.

"So you go to a different college?" I asked.

"Yeah. I applied to the one closest to where I live. Victoria wanted to apply there too, but her mom wanted her to go to this place. She said that this place has a good Veterinary course." Said Daniel. "And Victoria couldn't turn that down."

I sighed to myself, wondering what my life would be like if Victoria hadn't applied in this college. All because of the good Vets courses...

"Wow. You must be really eager to see her again." I said.

He nodded. "Of course I am." Said Daniel.

I couldn't help but smile. "Sounds like you love her." I said, feeling even more terrible for him.

He nodded again. "I do. You would know what it feels like, right?"

I looked at him in confusion. "What?"

"Well, you sound like a hopeless romatic." He said in a slight joking matter. "So you must have a boyfriend, right?"

I gulped. When Daniel said the word 'Boyfriend', I thought of the word 'Love'. But I didn't think about Anthony. I automatically thought about Alvin. Why did my mind dart to Alvin? Despite how badly my heart just twisted right now, I tried my best to think about Anthony - the boy I really loved...right? But why did I think about Alvin? I'm in love with Anthony. I KNOW I'm in love with Anthony, so what the hell is wrong with me?

I nodded. "Yeah, I do." I said, trying to sound as calm as possible. "How'd you know?"

Daniel shrugged. "I took a course on Human Personalities and Traits." He said.

"Oh, no wonder." I said.

After a few seconds of utter silence, Daniel changed the subject. "You know, Tori has never mentioned anything about having a roommate."

I had the strong urge to roll my eyes. But I shrugged. "Like I said, Victoria and I aren't exactly that close." I said.

"Hm. That's weird. She loves meeting new people." Said Daniel.

She 'loves meeting new boys' is more like it. But I wanted to laugh insultingly again. I sighed to myself as I thought back to the first day I met Victoria. She seemed so sweet and innocent, I knew there was a reason to why I hated her from the beginning. I knew it was impossible for someone to be THAT nice. It proves that I was right about her once again.

"I dunno. Victoria and I aren't really...friends." I said.

Daniel raised his eyebrows. "Weird." He said again. "She's always pretty friendly."

I seriously wanted to yell that being friends with her isn't the problem, but that her being a two timing bitch, and managing to act so innocent, is the real problem. But I held myself back from saying it, no matter how badly I wanted to.

"We have two other roommates living here." I said, changing the subject again. "My two sisters."

He raised his eybrows again. "You have your two sisters as roommates? Wow, if I were you, I'd be going insane."

I laughed lightly. "Why?"

"If I had to share a dorm room with my two brothers and my sister, I'd want to kill myself." Said Daniel.

I laughed again. "You guys aren't close to each other or something?" I asked.

"We are, trust me. My two older brothers and my little sister are my best friends. But that's the thing. We're so close to each other, we drive each other insane." Daniel said, sighing.

I felt myself freeze. His words reminded me of something that made the inside of my chest shatter. Now where did I hear that before? Best friends that were so extremely close to each other, that they drive the other one crazy? Yes, I know what it reminded me of, and I wasn't afraid to say it - to scream it - in my mind.

Me and Alvin.

But I sighed, trying to erase my thoughts. "My sisters are my best friends too. And I guess we do drive each other crazy sometimes, but I understand what you're trying to say."

When I listened to myself, I sounded so bored and uninterested. But after hearing what Daniel had to say about him and his siblings, and how it excruciatingly reminded me of myself and Alvin when we were still best friends, it just put me down.

Then Daniel sighed again. "But I haven't spoken to my sister in almost 2 years."

I looked at him, again reminding me of the past events that took place in my life here in college. This time, reminding me of how Jeanette and Eleanor refused to talk to me for a month. But for Daniel, 2 whole years?

"What? Why?" I asked.

Daniel sighed once more, as if this memory was mentally slicing him. But he shrugged. "My sister said she hates Victoria."

I looked at Daniel, secretly amused. "What?" I asked.

He shrugged. "My sister, Stephanie, said she doesn't like Tori because she has a 'bad feeling' about her." He said, making air quotes with his fingers.

And again, I wanted to laugh. But I kept a straight face. "Wow. Your own sister doesn't like your girlfriend?"

"That's why we got into a fight. She told me to break up with her because she doesn't like Tori." Said Daniel.

I was actually interested to hear more. "Why do you think your sister thinks that?"

"No idea. I just thought she was being really unreasonable. To hear that my own sister doesn't like her, makes you feel pretty annoyed." Said Daniel.

I listened to him. I don't know what I'm feeling right now. I guess it felt somewhat good to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't trust Victoria. But I felt somewhat annoyed with Daniel, knowing that he decided to listen to Victoria, resulting in a fight with his sister. Like with me and Alvin. He decided it pick Victoria's side, rather than me, resulting in a fight between us. What is it about Victoria that made all the boys listen to her, rather than the truth?

"Why didn't you believe your sister, though?" I asked, hoping that his answer would help answer my other questions.

"I don't know." He said quietly. He paused for a moment, then said, "I guess I was just afraid of losing Victoria."

I froze, feeling my heart jump inside of me. Could that be the same reason to why Alvin decided to listen to Victoria, instead of me? Because he was afraid of losing her? But he wasn't afraid of losing me?

Silence fell among us. We were both deep in our own thoughts. But the silence was finally broken a few minutes later.

"Sorry for telling you all this." Daniel said, laughing lightly. "I have a bad habit of talking too much and going overboard with my stories, even to people I just met."

I smiled. "Oh it's fine. Don't worry about it." I said truthfully.

And it was true. Listening to Daniel made me realize so much things. But the one thing that stood out from all the rest that it made me realize that my feelings for Alvin Seville never left. And as much as it hurt me to know that I have never stopped loving him, I had to accept it because I, myself, know that it's true.

Daniel smiled then looked at his watch. "Wow. Not even 10AM yet. What time does Victoria get off class?"

I pitied him. He was so excited to see her, but he has no idea what Victoria has been doing behind his back. And as much as I hated myself for giving in, I had to. Victoria needs to have her two timing self revealed. Daniel needs to see the real her. And Alvin needs to see the true Victoria, and to know that I was telling the truth all along, and that I was never the liar.

I was actually eager to expose Victoria's true self to both Daniel AND Alvin. I knew I was being a total bitch for wanting to do this, but after all the pain and tears I've been through, Alvin and Victoria deserve it.

I looked at the time on my cell phone. It was 9:40AM. "She usually doesn't come home until 2PM."

"Damn. 4 hours." Sighed Daniel. "What's a good way to pass 4 hours?"

I shrugged. "I dunno. I can show you around campus, I guess. And I can bring you to Victoria's class afterward."

He shrugged and smiled. "Okay then, can't wait. This college seems way bigger than mine anyway." He said.

I know that Alvin waits by Victoria's classroom door after her class is over. And just thinking about what might happen when Daniel sees them, made me feel anxious and somewhat nauseous. But we decided to pass the time by walking around. I took Daniel around the entire college campus, showing him almost every inch of the place. And to my surprise, he seemed impressed.

"Maybe I should move here." He said, laughing lightly. I wasn't sure if he was joking or not.

"Victoria would love that." I said, obviously being sarcastic. But my voice sounded sincere.

The clock hit 1PM, and Daniel and I decided to grab a bite to eat at the nearest McDonalds. HELL NO it wasn't a date. It was just something to pass the time before he sees his girlfriend again - in the arms of another guy. After lunch, we walked back to campus. But before that, Daniel made a stop at a florist and bought a bouquet of pink and red roses. I wanted to stop him and tell him not to buy it because he's gonna regret it once he sees Victoria with another guy, but I didn't have the guts to. He looked so happy, I just couldn't bring myself up to stop him.

By the time we returned, the final bell had rung and people started to make their way out their classrooms. I led Daniel into the 'Health Studies' wing. He followed me, with the bouquet of flowers in his right hand. We finally got to her classroom, but we stood a few feet away from it because a bunch of people were coming and going through the doors.

And just like I had feared, yet wanted, Alvin stood there. I instantly recognized his messy and tousled brown hair. But he had his head down, he eyes focused on his cell phone. I turned away, pretending I didn't see him. If it was possible, my heart would be crying. It was the first time seeing him in a month. And one vague glimpse of him made me ache inside. Why were all the old insecurities and pain returning to me? It was hard to accept that fact that I still love Alvin, even though I'm with Anthony. But it was even harder to see him again. After all he's done to me, I still missed him. I felt the need to run to him and forgive him, to love him and to never let go of my feelings again.

Even though I'm with Anthony, I wanted Alvin back. But I had Anthony, someone who has made me happy, someone who treats me right and someone who loves me. So what's wrong with me? After everything Alvin has put me through, after how hard I've told myself that I'm in love with Anthony, a large part of me still wanted to choose Alvin. But I didn't want to allow it. I just can't...

I took a deep breath, and mentally shook it off as I turned to Daniel. "Do you see her?"

He shook his head and peered through the thinning crowd. And then, when his eyes widened and a smile spread across his face, that's when I knew he had spotted her. Daniel smiled even bigger. "I see her." He said. "I-"

The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. My heart began to race as I turned around to follow Daniel's gaze. There stood Victoria, with her arms wrapped around Alvin, as if she hadn't seen him in a whole year. And there stood Alvin, who had just given her a kiss on the cheek.

And it hurt to watch.

But then I heard 'thud' behind me. I turned around and looked to the ground. There, laid the bouquet of roses, now scattered on the floor. I looked up at Daniel, who was looking confused, yet extremely furious and hurt.

"What the hell?" He exclaimed slowly.

And without wasting another second, he stormed over to where Victoria and Alvin stood, purposely stepping on the bouquet he threw on the floor out of anger, resulting in crushed and ripped flower petals. I closed my eyes for a moment before opening them again. I sighed as I picked the bouquet off the floor. I don't know what was wrong with me, but I felt like I was going to burst into tears.

I touched one of the now-ruined roses. Once a full bloomed rose, now a pile of broken and ruined petals. These broken roses represented something of mine I hadn't thought of for a whole month...

My heart.

Aww, DAMMIT! Another cliffhanger! Sorry guys! x)

So, Alvin and Daniel will FINALLY find out! What will Victoria say, now that she's about to be exposed (YAY). And what will Alvin say to Brittany once he finds out the truth?
