Part 2

We were in the middle of a conversation when we heard Lucas and Maxie come in. I wasn't sure if that was good or not, but Georgie wasn't giving me many signals. All I could see was her smiling at Lucas, in a pathetic attempt for his attention. I couldn't help but feel anger run though me. She was so blind to what was right in front of her. To me. To how I felt about her.

[.would you look at her as she looks at me she's got me thinkin' about her constantly but she don't know how I feel and as she carries on without a doubt I wonder if she's figured out I'm crazy for this girl.]

How I was the one who liked, maybe even loved, her. I didn't even know anymore.

All I knew? I was once again after the untouchable. The one girl who I could never possibly get.

[.There's every good reason for letting you she's sneaky and smoked out and it's starting to show I never let you go.]

I was pulled out of my thoughts as I heard Georgie call my name. "Dillon!"

"Sorry. What?" I asked, still coming back from my thoughts.

"We have to go." she drifted off, giving me a look as if I shouldn't argue.

"Right. Yeah." I started to stand, not exactly sure where we were going, but I wasn't going to complain.

We walked out of Kelly's before I stopped Georgie. "Where are we going?" I questioned as I grabbed Georgie by the wrist, turning her around.

She looked to my eyes, "Umm. anywhere." I gave her a questioning look before she continued on, "I don't care. The park, movies, back to my house."

"What's wrong?" I noticed the look in her eyes, as if she was holding back tears. I pulled her into a half hug and directed her down the walkway.

She sighed softly and stopped. Turning to me, she replied, "Its Lucas." Anger flashed through me, if he did anything to her. "Nothing major," she told me, noticing the change in my face. "I just don't want to be around him and Maxie anymore. it's. so depressing." she looked down. "I guess I finally realized that I'll never have him, so I have to let him go. But, for right now, I don't want to see him. Or Maxie. Especially not together."

I was amazed at her feelings. All the times I'd told her Lucas didn't deserve her; I never thought I'd finally break through. "What brought on this sudden change of heart?" I asked, curious.

When Georgie didn't answer, I realized that there were tears flowing down her cheeks. I encaptured her in a hug. "It's okay," I told her.

"I saw Lucas." she sniffled out, "I saw Lucas kiss Maxie."

I only hugged her closer to me. What else could I do? "I'm so sorry, Georgie." I started to say, getting cut off.

"No, it's okay. Really," I wiped a tear away from her cheek as she continued to speak, "I knew he liked Maxie. Everyone knew he liked Maxie. You told me on various occasions, he wasn't any good." Great, I thought, I was a part of this. I was one of the reasons she's hurting so badly. "It's okay, though. I'll get over him. I mean, who am I to think I could get Lucas, really. It was just stupid crush."

"Stop," I whispered. She looked up into my eyes. "Just, stop." I told her, stepping closer. I didn't know what I was doing. I don't think my mind was even working. but, before I could comprehend what was going on I realized I'd leaned in to kiss her.

[.Well it's been building up inside of me for oh I don't know how long; I don't know why but I keep thinking something bound to go wrong.]

I remembered the softness of her lips. I could taste the remains of her strawberry lipgloss. It was then I realized what I had done. I'd kissed her. I slowly pulled back, regretfully so, wanting to return my lips to hers again. It was then fear greeted me.

"I'm so sorry," I told her, avoiding eye contact. "Umm. I. umm. I have to go." I knew my excuse was pathetic. I just had to get out of there.
