Chapter 18 *

Kirsten runs to girls' room and slams the door.

"Why do I even bother!?!?!?!"

"Kirsten, what did Matt do now?" Trish was the only one in the locker room.

Kirsten fills Trish on what happened. When she's finished she realizes that the rest of the Divas arrived.

"What am I going to do now?" Kirsten was completely lost. "I thought these quizzes would work, but they just aren't working."

Lisa, also known as Ivory, speaks up. "Maybe you two just aren't meant to be. I know that's not what you want to hear, but it could be."

Kirsten starts to cry, "I can't believe that. I just can't."

"Girls, can I speak to K alone?" Amy knew Kirsten needed to be alone right now. The girls leave Amy and Kirsten alone to talk.

"It's possible that it was just him being tired K. You two haven't really been sleeping that well lately."

Kirsten just nods her head. "I don't know what to do Ames. The thought of not being with him just kills me. I just can't keep doing this." Kirsten puts her head in her hands.

Amy heard the door open, looked and saw Matt standing there. Amy excuses herself, gives Matt as what he likes to call the "you hurt my friend again I kill you" look, and leaves the couple to talk.

"Kirsten…I…"

"I know…you're sorry." Kirsten was looking at the ground like it was the most interesting thing on the planet.

Matt stands in front of her. "I am. I know I've said that a lot over the course of us knowing each other, but I really am. I'm just tired and I said things I don't mean."

"You wouldn't have said them if you didn't mean them Matt." Kirsten looked at Matt for the first time and saw tears in his eyes and regret written all over his face. "One of these days, I'm sorry isn't going to be enough."

Matt nodded his head and looked down, praying that this isn't the day she's talking about. She gets up and hugs him. Matt hugs her so tightly.

"Matt…Need…Air."

Matt loosens his grip but doesn't let go.

Kirsten feels wetness on her neck and she realizes he's crying. She holds him tighter.

"I love you too K. I really do." Matt whispers into her hair.

Kirsten starts to cry at the sound of hearing the words she's dreamt of hearing from him.
