I took a deep breath, wishing I had the power to make my heartbeat go slower. But I didn't. As each nerve wracking second passed by, the beat of my heart would increase. I gulped, still staring at the bouquet of roses in my hands. Just seconds ago, they were in gorgeous bloom. But now, after getting thrown on the floor by Daniel, it was just a tearful sight of ripped love.

Just like my heart. After taking one small glimpse of him, of Alvin, it tore my heart apart. I haven't seen him for over a month now. The last time I saw him, he hurt me for good. I tried my best telling him that Victoria was cheating on him, but he didn't listen. And in the end, he picked her instead of me. But the worst part of it was when he called me a liar. It was as if everyone was against me. I knew I wasn't the liar, but of course, Alvin didn't listen to me. He never does.

And it just kills me.

But now, all of that was about to change.

I took one more deep breath, and looked up. Daniel was walking towards Victoria and Alvin. I wanted to follow him, but I was too scared to face Alvin again. After spending one whole month away from him, I thought I had let him out of my life for good. But after everything that has happened today, I realized that the love I felt for Alvin had never left.

I decided to keep my distance from the three of them. But I knew I couldn't run away. I mean, I was the one who dragged Daniel here, and I just couldn't afford missing the reaction Victoria will show when she sees him again. But I didn't want to be seen. As people walked by, exiting their classrooms, the hallway started to get empty. And in a matter of seconds, the only people who stood in this isolated part of the school was me, Daniel, Alvin and Victoria.

I clutched onto the bouquet, and quickly hid behind a corner of the wall. I was still within hearing distance, but like I said, I didn't want Alvin or Victoria to see me. I had my back pressed against the wall. I closed my eyes, feeling dizzy from the rate of my heartbeat. But I finally opened my eyes, and peered around the wall, where Daniel finally stood about 2 feet away from them.

I looked at Daniel's face. He was showing clear confusion, but it was mixed in with a great amount of rage. Poor guy. Who can blame him? He drove 7 hours up here to visit the girl he was in love with, and now, seeing her for the first time in months, she has her arms wrapped around some other guy. Just thinking about how much damage Victoria has done to everyone, made my cheeks flush red.

It just occured to me now how much Victoria has influenced everything. Because of her, I realized that I love Alvin, got emotionally hurt by him, broke Anthony's heart yet, fell in love with him, ran away, almost getting raped and kidnapped, almost lost my two little sisters, and now, I was about to face my worse fear - seeing Alvin get hurt.

I knew I've said this more than a trillion times, but there was no way to stop myself. Yes, I know how much pain Alvin has caused me. I know how badly he has hurt my feelings, and I know he deserves getting his heart broken for not believing me. But in the end, I could never wish for that. No matter how badly he has hurt me in the past, I could never ever do the same to him.

Ever since the day he called me a liar, I would always tell myself that I hate Alvin Seville. I hate him, I want nothing to do with him, I want him gone and out of my mind, he means nothing to me, he is dead to me...

But my heart would always ache when I replayed those words in my mind, and I would break down in tears.

I would never wish that. Despite how I wanted to hate Alvin, I just couldn't. My hatred towards him came and went as quickly as a breath of air. And it hurts to know that after I've tried telling myself about leaving Alvin behind, it was no use. I have never stopped loving him. I am still heart-wrenchingly in love with him.

I suddenly snapped back into reality when I saw Daniel stop in his tracks. I looked at his face, feeling sorry for him, yet eager at the same time. Victoria was just seconds away from being exposed.

Daniel just stood there with his eyes fixed on Alvin and Victoria. The two of them didn't even seem aware that Daniel was standing there. But finally, after a few more seconds of disbelieving looks, Daniel opened his mouth.

"Victoria." He said.

My eyes darted to Victoria, and I saw her body freeze as if it had just turned into ice. She knew that voice. She knew who it belonged to. Then Alvin's head snapped up to look at the voice who has just said his 'girlfriend's' name. I could only see the back of Alvin's head, but I knew he was looking at Daniel in a confused matter.

"Victoria." Daniel said again, ignoring Alvin's glares. The way he said her name sounded like he was trying to hold himself back from yelling.

Slowly, Victoria unwrapped her arms from Alvin, and looked into the face of her other 'boyfriend'. There was pure silence between her. I looked back at Victoria's face, and once I saw her reaction, I felt evilly satisfied. Victoria looked scared. No, more than scared. She looked terrified.

"Remember me?" Daniel asked bitterly.

Victoria took a step away from the two boys who were staring at her. "D-Daniel..." She whispered.

Alvin looked at Daniel, then back at Victoria. "Tori, who's this?"

Victoria gulped, still looking at Daniel through mortified eyes. She just shook her head. "I-I-I..."

Daniel cut her off. He turned to Alvin. "Who the hell are you?"

"Better question is, who the hell are you?" Alvin fired.

Daniel scoffed and turned to Victoria. It was hard to believe that this was the Daniel I was talking to, moments ago. He was so nice and calm. But now, it was as if a trigger had been set off inside of him. "Victoria, who is this?" He asked.

Victoria shifted uncomfortably. "Daniel, w-what are you doing here?" She whispered.

"That doesn't matter." Shot Daniel. "What the hell are you doing, wrapping your arms around some other guy?"

"D-Daniel, I-"

"Who the hell is this?" Fired Daniel again.

Victoria gulped. "Daniel, please. I'll expla-"

"I'm her boyfriend." Alvin cut in, angry that some random guy was yelling at his 'girlfriend'.

Victoria darted her eyes to Alvin, looking even more scared than before.

Daniel looked at Victoria, hurt, but it was clear that he was more furious inside. "BOYFRIEND?" He exclaimed.

Victoria said nothing and just stood there, looking hopeless and defeated.

Then Alvin turned to her. "Victoria, who's this?" He asked.

She turned to Alvin. She shut her eyes for a few seconds before opening them again, revealing tears of guilt flooding her eyes. "My boyfriend..." She whispered.

Unlike Daniel, Alvin just stood there without saying a word. He glared at Victoria for the longest time, while Daniel glared at Alvin. 1 minute passed, then 2. And before you knew it, a whole 3 minutes of utter silence had passed. "Your boyfriend?" Alvin asked quietly, but still full of disbelief.

Victoria looked lost. "Alvin, I-I-I...listen to me. I-"

"No." He said simply. "Don't. Say. Anything."

Victoria looked like she had just finished running a marathon. She was breathing heavily. She looked at Daniel, who was now staring at her, then at Alvin, who was staring into space, then to Daniel again, then finally back to Alvin. Victoria was still looking scared, frightened and lost.

"How could you?" Daniel fired, breaking the silence.

Victoria looked at him. "Daniel, I'm sorry. I really am. I-"

"I spent 7 whole goddamn hours, driving up here to visit you. And after all this time, you've been cheating on me?" Daniel asked.

"Ch-Cheating? I-I-" Victoria stuttered, as tears streamed down her face.

"We've been dating for 3 years. I thought we had something, Victoria! I thought you actually meant it when you told me you loved me!" Daniel exclaimed.

Victoria knew she couldn't say that she does love him. Not with Alvin there, at least.

"Are you telling me that all of this was a lie?" Daniel asked, barely in a whisper. "After everything, you just decide to go behind my back and cheat on me? Just because we go to different colleges, doesn't mean you can cheat behind my back! I would have understood if you called me and told me that it's over between us. But cheating? That's way too pathetic, even for you."

Victoria looked hurt. "I'm sorry..." She whispered.

Daniel shook his head. "No, you're not. If I hadn't of visited you today, you would have still been with this guy-" He pointed to Alvin, who remained as still as stone. "-And me! You would still be cheating on the two of us."

Victoria looked at Alvin for a brief second before looking back at Daniel. "I'm sorry." She said again. "Daniel, I am so sorry."

Daniel shook his head. "Save it, Victoria. I don't want to hear it."

"Please." She whimpered, stepping towards him. "I'm sorr-"

"No!" Exclaimed Daniel, stepping away from her. "I've seen all the proof I need. And that's it."

Victoria froze. She stared up into Daniel's face. "What are you talking about? What do you mean 'That's it'? Are...are you breaking up with me?"

Daniel shook his head. "No, considering that we were NEVER together anyway!" He fired.

Victoria's tears fell even faster down her face. "No..." She pleaded. "Don't say that."

"What do you think of me? Stupid? An idiot? Because I go to a different school than you, you decide to date another guy?" Daniel asked, furiously. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

I could see how badly hurt Victoria was. And I felt a cool breeze of relief and revenge take place inside of me. I knew how Victoria was feeling. I mean, I've basically gone through it almost everyday before. Loving Alvin was too hurtful for me, yet, I couldn't stop. But with Victoria, seeing how she was in the middle, and realizing that she has just been exposed, made her tremble with fear.

"Daniel, please." Victoria said through a thick and tearful voice.

But this time, out of everyone's surprise, Alvin spoke up. "She was right."

Daniel and Victoria looked at him. Even I, who was still hiding around the corner, peered my head even farther to look at Alvin. Alvin's head turned to Victoria. No words were said between anyone. But just when I thought my heart rate had finally slowed down, it sped up again. Alvin's words twisted in my mind. I replayed them at least 5 more times. My breathing became more rapid.

Could he possibly be talking about...me?

"What?" Victoria asked.

"Brittany." He said, and once I heard Alvin say my name, my knees grew weak. "She was right all along."

I wanted to run away. Tears were suddenly rising up. I wanted to disappear.

Victoria's expression changed into shock and guilt, knowing she had just been caught. "N-No. Alv-"

"Brittany was right about you all along." Said Alvin. He shook his head. "And I didn't listen to her."

I wanted to run over there and scream, 'YOU SURE AS HELL DIDN'T!', but my legs were way too weak, and my lips were trembling as I bit back my tears.

Alvin continued. "I should have listened to her." He said, and paused. "But I didn't. Because I was actually in love with you, Victoria, I took your side instead of Brittany's. Because of you, she's hurt. Because of you, I haven't seen her in a whole damn month. And because of you, I lost my best friend!"

I felt myself freeze. Listening to Alvin's words made me collapse on the inside.

"Why did you do that?" Alvin asked in a deadly-like whisper. "Why did you lie to me? To everyone?"

Victoria looked at both Daniel and Alvin. Her chest was heaving in and out from all the heavy breathing her guilt resulted in. "I...I don't know."

"I called Brittany a liar to defend you!" Alvin said, his voice gradually getting louder. "Why did you just stand there, when you knew Brittany was telling the truth, and when you knew that YOU were the liar all along! It was never Brittany, it was always you!"

I looked at Daniel through misty eyes. While looking outraged, he also looked interested to hear what other damage Victoria has done.

"I..." Victoria sighed. "I WAS JEALOUS OF HER, OKAY?" She yelled.

Silence. I gasped quietly to myself and froze. Daniel raised his eyebrows, and Alvin snapped his gaze straight towards Victoria.

"I was jealous of Brittany." She said quietly, yet annoyed. "When I first met her, I thought she was so pretty, and so talented, getting into a fashion design class and everything. And that night, when I first met you, I could tell that there was something between you and Brittany, and I was getting even more jealous. I tried to be nice to her because I wanted to be like her! Brittany just seems so...perfect, that it's not fair!"

My mouth literally dropped open. THAT was the reason? Victoria was jealous of...me? WHAT THE F-CKING HELL?

"That's why you asked me out?" Asked Alvin.

Victoria sighed. "The connection between you and Brittany seemed so...different. It's so obvious that you two are extremely close." She said, tears dripping from her eyes. "And I thought that if I decided to date you, Brittany would never have the chance to."

Alvin said nothing for a few seconds. "So you dated me because you were jealous of Brittany?" He said slowly.

Victoria dodged his question. "But when I started to go out with you, I-I...I actually did fall for you."

Alvin shook his head in doubt. "All those times you told me you loved me, did you mean them?"

Victoria waited a few more seconds before answering. "I-I did."

Alvin sighed and shook his head. "I don't believe you."

"Alvin, I really did." She pleaded.

"You know, I should have trusted Brittany. I mean, I've trusted her all my life." Alvin said quietly, as if he was talking to himself. "This is the first time EVER where I decided not to listen to her. And it's because of you, Victoria. Because I thought you loved me, and because you were my girlfriend, I actually thought I had to protect you. But because of you, I had hurt Brittany by sticking up for you, whereas I should have been doing that for her!"

And this time, tears rose up in my eyes, and fell down my face like mini waterfalls. Was Alvin really saying this? Was he really saying all of this about me? But it was about damn time he actually realized it. But deep inside, it felt like it was too late. I've tried telling him for months now, but he never believed me. I, myself, was all the proof he needed. But since Daniel was standing there, Alvin learns that he was wrong all along?

Did he really need standing proof? Wasn't me, telling him, enough proof? It was as if he needed to see it, rather than hear it from me. Would I ever lie? I thought he trusted me...but I guess he doesn't.

"That's why I dated you, Alvin!" Victoria fired through her tears. "Because I knew you had a thing for Brittany. It just didn't seem fair that-"

"THAT WHAT?" Alvin yelled.

Victoria closed her mouth. She took a deep breath and shoved her trembling fingers into the pockets of her cashmere sweater. She looked away. "I didn't want you to fall for her."

I heard Alvin scoff in disbelief. "But you knew she was my best friend."

Victoria continued to look away. "But it was so obvious that you liked her. I mean, the way you spoke to her, the way you speak about her, the way you look at her...you loved her."

Victoria's words tangled in my brain. Did she really see that? Was it really that obvious? And if it was obvious, why hadn't I seen it? I knew Alvin had feelings for me before he fell in love with Victoria, but I never ever noticed Alvin being in love with me. I mean, all we've done is bicker and fight and argue...

And that's when I realized it. How could I be so blind?

Alvin said nothing for a long time. Finally, he said, "Then why did you go out with me, tell me you love me, turned me into some love-struck jerk for hurting my bestfriend, when all along, you've been dating someone else?"

Daniel, who stood there listening to them, looked at Victoria. She still kept her eyes to the ground. "I don't know..."

"Do you know what Brittany has gone through because of you? Because you had the nerve to make me fall in love with you, I acted like Brittany wasn't important to me." Alvin fired. "I made her feel like she was unimportant, all because I was defending you."

Victoria looked back up at him. "I-I-..."

I looked at Alvin, and once I did, even more heartbreaking tears fell upon my face. The expression he wore on his face showed guilt, anger and frustration. And to know that he is now feeling that way, all because he finally realized the truth, shattered my heart in a way I had not expected. Earlier, I was so eager to see Alvin's heart get broken. But now, seeing how hurt he was, I wanted to look away. I couldn't watch him.

But the thing that hurt me the most is how he finally realized how much he had hurt me. After all those months of killing me emotionally, he finally believes me...

"I'm done." Alvin finished.

Victoria stuttered for a bit, before shutting her mouth close. She looked into Alvin's eyes. "Fine." She whispered. I was shocked. That was it? She was just gonna let Alvin go, just like that?

"I'm done." Daniel said from the side.

Victoria turned to him, and walked towards him. "Daniel, look. I-"

Daniel stopped her by putting his hand out, and softly pushing her away. "No." He said. "Didn't you just hear me? I said that I'm done."

Victoria stopped. "W-What?" She fired in a whisper. "What are you talking about?"

Daniel shook his head. "We're through."

Victoria stopped dead in her tracks. "N-No, we're not." She exclaimed. "Daniel, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cheat on you!" She cried. "Y-You still love me, right? I-I mean, you drove up here just to visit me!"

Daniel shook his head again. "Because I thought you would never do anything like this. But you know what? I'm glad I came here to visit you. I'm glad I found out about the real you. You're a lying cheater. I don't want to be with a girl who cheats behind her boyfriend's back. Especially to a guy she has dated for 3 years."

I saw more tear droplets fall on Victoria's pink cheeks. "I-I can change." She said. "Daniel, I want to be with you."

I saw Alvin tighten up. I looked away for one moment, knowing that the words Victoria just said, hurt him. Alvin is finally feeling the pain I've gone through. But his was different, in a way. He just realized that the girl he was in love with, cheated on him. And to make things worse, the girl he was in love with, wanted to be with her first boyfriend. It was as if Victoria never really loved Alvin, like she was using him all along...

"No, Victoria." Daniel fired. "We're over. If it weren't for Brittany, I-"

"Brittany?" Alvin asked, looking at Daniel.

Daniel looked at Alvin for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah." He said, and turned around to the spot where he last saw me, but since I was hiding behind a wall, I wasn't there. "She...she was here just a moment ago."

I didn't want to show myself. I didn't care if I was crying, I just didn't want Alvin to see me. Even though he's learned about the truth, even through he's extremely hurt, and even though I still painfully love him with all my soul, I just couldn't forgive him. But despite all this, my heart longed for him. My eyes wanted to connect with his again. I needed to be near him again...

And with one deep breath, still clutching the bouquet in my hands, I took a step behind the wall. Daniel, Victoria and Alvin all turned to me. But I kept my eyes on the floor, avoiding Alvin's gaze, no matter how badly I wanted to see his eyes.

A few more seconds passed before I finally looked up at the 3 of them. I looked at Alvin for half a second, before looking at Daniel. Daniel was about to open his mouth to say something, but Victoria, still pink with anger and tear stained, spoke up before anyone else could.

"You." Victoria whispered threateningly, her glare piercing through me. "You did this."

I said nothing.

"YOU DID THIS TO ME!" She screamed.

I looked at her through thick tears, but I managed to keep a straight face. "Yes, I did." I fired angrily, but weakly.

She shook her head in disbelief and scoffed. "You knew about this."

And that's when I lost it. "OF COURSE I KNEW ABOUT THIS!" I yelled. "I knew about this all along. YOU knew about this too! You were there when I tried telling him the truth." I fired, unable to say Alvin's name. "You knew I was telling the truth! But you had the guts to stand there, and say you had no idea what I was talking about. So don't you dare try and act surpised, because we both know that you have lived yourself as a lie."

Victoria had her mouth hung open. "Why did you do this?" She asked. "You brought Daniel here on purpose, didn't you?"

Daniel cut in. "No. I came here on my own to see you." He fired. "But you weren't there, and Brittany was nice enough to invite me in. But with my constant asking to see you, she took me here. And like I said, I'm glad I did because I found out about the real you."

Victoria ignored him. She continued to glare at me. "Look at what you did." She hissed. "Look at what you did to Alvin! If you really 'love' him, then you would have just-"

"Stop it." Fired Alvin. "Just keep telling yourselves these things, Victoria. But in the end, no one will believe you. You've proved to everyone here that every single thing you say is a complete lie."

Victoria gaped at Alvin for a long time. Then she half-laughed, crossed her arms over her chest and said, "Oh, so now you believe her?"

"I should have believed her from the very start." He said.

"But if it weren't for Daniel being here, you would have still been in love with me." Said Victoria. "You would have never found out about me."

I felt heat return to my face. That bitch seemed so proud to say these things about her own self. It was sickening to listen to.

Alvin said nothing at first, knowing that Victoria did have a point. He inhaled deeply and said, "Fine. You may be right, but really, Victoria. Do you really think our relationship would go on forever?"

Both Victoria and I froze at that. Victoria scoffed. "Considering how much you loved me, then yes." She said bitterly.

Alvin shook his head. "I'm just sorry for letting you manipulate me into thinking that I love you. I'm sorry for Daniel for having you as a girlfriend for 3 years." Then he took a deep breath. "And I'm sorry for choosing you, over someone else, when I really knew I loved her."

Victoria froze again, then darted her eyes at me, knowing who Alvin was talking about. I said nothing. I knew Alvin was talking about me, but neither of us made eye contact with each other.

Daniel spoke up. "Stephanie was right." He said, referring to his sister who, like me, never had a good feeling about Victoria. "Because I decided to believe you, over my own sister, I haven't spoken to her in almost 2 whole years!"

"Because you love me. You still love me." Victoria said, almost in a pleading way.

Daniel shook his head. "I've had enough." He said, taking a deep breath. "You've done enough damage to everyone, Victoria. And I'm gonna feel sorry for the next guy you brain wash into thinking you love him."

Victoria looked at him. "What? No! Daniel, please! I-I'll change, I promise!"

Daniel looked at her one more time. "Don't think that I won't be telling our friends back at home about this, because I will. So in June, when your school year is over, don't bother coming home." He fired.

Victoria was now sobbing. "Daniel, God!" She exclaimed through tears.

Daniel said nothing, ignoring the pathetic crying girl who stood beside him, and walked away from her. But once he passed me, he gave me a small smile of self sympathy and gratitude, and whispered, "Thanks, for everything."

I understood why he was thanking me. He was grateful that he found out about Victoria. I was unable to open my mouth, so I just smiled through thick tears. Then Daniel took a deep sigh, and walked away. I could hear his footsteps getting more distant as he took each step. I closed my eyes, feeling the walls of my body close in. New fresh tears fell by the moment.

"WAIT!" Victoria yelled weakly. "Where're you going?"

No answer.

"Daniel!" She cried, and before I knew it, she was running and crying, trying to catch the boy she hurt, yet wanted to be with.

And once Victoria was gone, if left me and Alvin standing there. I was still looking to the ground, still crying. I didn't know if Alvin was looking at me or not. I didn't have the strength to look up at him. There was pure silence between us for about 3 minutes. I didn't know what I was doing. Why am I still here? I wanted to run away, but in a way, I didn't want to leave him.

I never wanted to leave him.

And finally, after it seemed like the hushed muteness of quietness was going to last forever, the silence was broken.

"Brittany..." Alvin whispered.

I remained silent. I felt like I was going to collapse when he whispered my name. My whole body began to shake. My heart felt like it was tearing up, piece by piece. The roses I was still holding were trembling within my grasp.

Alvin walked towards me, slowly and cautiously, as if he was afraid I would run away from him. "Britt." He whispered again. He waited another minute before continuing. "I-I-I...I don't even know how to start apolog-"

"Then don't." I croaked, as tears of agony painted my face.

Alvin didn't say anything for a long time. "You don't know how much I regret everything. The word 'Regret' doesn't even cover it." He said. "To know that I didn't believe you..." He trailed off and sighed in frustration.

I shook my head, careful not to look at his face. "Why didn't you believe me?" I asked. That question has been burning inside of me ever since the day he called me a liar.

He waited a long time before answering. "I don't know." He whispered.

I scoffed. "Of course you don't." I whispered acidly, feeling extremely hurt.

This was the first time talking to Alvin in over a month. But in this one talk, it brought back everything the two of us have been through. All the tears, the fights, the screaming and yelling, the profanity - everything. Why was this always happening to me? To us?

Alvin took a deep sigh. Another minute or 2 passed before he finally said, "Forgive me."

I didn't move.

"Please." He said. "I know it's a poor excuse, seeing what I've put you through, but you need to know that I'm sorry. You need to know how I feel about this, how I will never forgive myself for doing this to you, for not believing you, and for everything else I stupidly did to hurt you."

I remained as I was.

"Brittany, please forgive me." He whispered again.

I closed my eyes, letting tears streak my face. Should I forgive him? After all the hell I've been through because of him, should I forgive him this easily? Just because he saw visual proof, he decides to forgive me. And to know that if it weren't for Daniel, Alvin might have never believed me, and it just made me feel all bruised and cut up inside. But it hurt me the most, to know that the love I've felt for Alvin was still burning inside of me. I was still in love with him.

But after a month of not seeing him, and being with Anthony, it made my mind twist in all different directions. Loving Alvin has made my heart break, and my emotions shatter with tears. But loving Anthony has made me smile, and made me feel happy. But despite how choosing Anthony sounded so right, choosing Alvin felt so right.

I opened my mouth, but no words came out.

When I didn't answer, Alvin waited another minute or so before asking me a question that made me collapse on the inside, ripping my heart in two, and draining all the blood from my face.

"Do you still love me?"

My breathing came to a stop, and my heartbeats began to get uneven. Yes, I do. I do still love him. I loved him so much, that it hurt. And I couldn't stand the pain anymore. And that's why I had to say what I wanted to say. I needed to protect myself. I can't go through the hell-like pain I've gone through by loving him. Painful, excruicating, heart twisting, but I still loved him. I have never stopped loving him. But just hearing the answer in my head made the love I felt for him, increase with a burning fire, making me love him even more.

"No." I whispered.

Lying to him did more than just hurt me. Of course I love him. But he just can't know that. Not anymore...

Alvin froze. I closed my eyes, biting my lips to prevent small whimpers from escaping my lips.

"W-What?" He whispered, after another minute of tranquillity.

And this time, I finally looked up at him. Our eyes connected for the first time in a month. His eyes looked dead, while mine were full of pain, covered up by tears. We stared into each other's eyes for a long time, as if not wanting to look away. But I had to. I disconnected our gaze by staring straight ahead of me, looking at his shirt, his chest, wanting to look through him.

And then I said the words I had to say, just to protect myself from being hurt again...

"Why should I love someone who called me a liar?" I whispered.

Tears fell even more as I said it. I threw the bouquet of roses on the floor in front of me through weak fingers. I felt scared and lost. My breathing was short and quick, my mind was full and confused, my eyes were dead and wet, my legs were weak and frail and my heart was jumping and torn.

And without giving Alvin a second to respond, without looking up to look at his face one last time, I turned around and ran.

The old me was suddenly coming back. I was feeling hurt and insecure again. The girl I had lived as in this past month, the happy, smiling and laughing girl - gone. And for the first time in a month, I ran away from Alvin Seville, from my feelings, from the love, and from everything once again.

Aww man. Alvin and Brittany... :'(

AHH! Victoria is finally exposed! That two timing little...

But now that she's gone (For now), what'll happen between Alvin and Brittany? What about Anthony?
