He pushed her away only to see Manny run off. "Manny!" he yelled. "Why'd you do that?!" he hissed angrily at Ashley.
"I thought.......I thought you wanted to. The talk about still caring for me........bringing me to this corner.......I thought......." she said backing up against the wall completely embarrassed. Craig shook his head in frustration and ran after Manny. With her heels she didn't get very far.
"Manny!" he yelled in desperation.
"You told me to trust you Craig! That was it! That was your last chance. I can't live like this," she said crying.
"Manny, let me explain," he said.
"Explain what Craig? You fell into your ex-girlfriend's face. Good one," she said taking off her shoes so she could run faster. "It takes two people to kiss. That's two people, two pairs of lips Craig!"
"Manny, no! She kissed me! She grabbed my head! I had no idea. I didn't want to. You're the only one I love. I told you! Manny you have to believe me." Manny stopped running. She gulped slowly.
"Craig. You don't know how hurt I am," she said sadly.
"Manny. It hurts me to hurt you," he said genuinely. He grabbed her hands and got down on both knees. He started to shed tears. She hated when he cried. She sighed deeply.
"You had nothing to do with it?" she asked coldly.
"Nothing," Craig said.
"It was all Ashley?" she asked.
"All Ashley," he replied.
"You pulled away?" she asked again.
"The very second it happened," he answered closing his eyes for emphasis.
"It's true Manny," Ashley said walking up to them. "It was my fault. I kissed him. I thought he still had feelings for me, but I was wrong. He loves you. He really does. Now, if you'll excuse me.......there's someone I owe a big apology to." She gave a soft smile and walked away. There was a short silence.
"Craig, I'm sorry for not letting you explain," Manny said helping him up.
"You had a right to react the way you did," he said. She grabbed his hand.
"Maybe we can still make the movies," she suggested. He smiled. "Hey Craig?" she added as they walked toward the theaters.
"Yeah Cutie?" he asked.
"If you make me cry again, I'll kill you," she stated.
"Fair enough," he said nodding his head in agreement.

"Craig and Manny are missing a great movie," JT said extremely excited.
"JT. It's getting good. Shhhh......." Liberty said for the thousandth time that night.
"This is great," JT said ignoring her request for the thousandth time. "Ouch! They cut off his head? But he was the coolest alien!"
"JT!" Liberty hissed covering her ears.

"I hope Craig and Manny are alright," Chris said checking his watch.
"Me too," Emma said searching the theater for them to no avail. "I hope we're alright by the end of this movie. It's horrible," she whispered. He laughed then put his arm around her as she leaned towards him. He smelled so nice she nearly died. He started to stroke her shoulder with his thumb. "I'm glad you're with me though," she finished.

Ashley knocked on Jimmy's door. He answered it with an aggravated look. "What do you want?" he asked callously.
"I came to apologize," she said.
"Okay, apology accepted," Jimmy said as he tried to shut the door in her face.
"Jimmy!" she said sticking her hand out so the door wouldn't close. "I know what I did was wrong. I'm sorry. I really am. I know you have a right to never talk to me again, but please..........please realize I know how badly I screwed up."
"Yeah, it was messed up," he said icily. "Really messed up...."
"I know.....believe me. I know. But I want to make it up to you." She bit her lip and lifted up a bag. "I brought a movie.......an action flick," she said with hope in her eyes. He hesitated so she added, "......and popcorn." He couldn't help but smile. "....with butter."
"Well.....since it has butter," he said. She smiled and he let her in.

"That was like.....an awesome movie," JT said as they walked out of the theater. Liberty rolled her eyes. "We should do this again," JT said shyly. He was really starting to like her. She was fun to hang out with and they seemed to have a lot in common. "Next Friday maybe?"
"Um.....no thanks JT......I'm really busy," Liberty said searching for an excuse.
"Wait a minute!" JT said catching on. "I know that tone. I invented that tone! You don't want to go out with me next Friday!"
"Um, JT you're a nice guy," she said pausing. "But you really need to learn when to be quiet." Liberty started to walk home. JT raced to catch up with her.
"Wait a minute. I can shut up. I'm great at shutting up. Listen to me shut up," he said following her while she shook her head in agony.
