Author's notes: Hmm..I don't really have anything else to say.seeing as I just updated chapter 7 as well.
But I guess I should say that I don't own the song in this chapter ("Forever and for Always" by Shania Twain).
Edit (May 2, 05): The lyrics have been removed, refer to chapter 12 if you want an explanation.
Hmm, I'll also explain how I came to put this song in this chapter. You see, I usually end up turning on the radio after 8 PM, which is "love songs" on the station I listen to, and had been hearing a lot of songs that I liked and thought appropriate to this chapter (it just showed my feeling towards it and such- and explained how I think Selina and Kevin would feel). One day, while waiting for my mom to finish shopping, "Forever and for Always" came on, and I almost cried. It's so perfect!
So yeah, I hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to review!

Chapter 8: The Breakup

The party continued on for a few hours. When people started to leave, Kevin put some music on, and everyone danced until they decided to leave.
Selina was having such a good time that she had completely forgotten about the fact that she had been ordered to break up with Kevin, and was now dancing with him as if everything was normal.

Just as the last guests left, the song "Forever and for Always" by shania Twain began to play.

"Selina?" Kevin said as the song started.
"Yes?" Selina replied with a smile.
"Did you know that this song has a great meaning in it?" Kevin asked.
"It does?" Selina asked in response.
Kevin nodded.
"It describes exactly how I feel about you." He replied.
"Really?" Selina asked again.
Kevin nodded and softly sang along with the song.

About half way through the song, Selina put her head on Kevin's shoulder with a smile and Kevin continued to sing.

Suddenly the reason she had come flooded back to Selina.
She pulled away from Kevin, struggling to hold back the tears.

"Selina? Are you alright? I'm sorry if I did something wrong." Kevin said, his face concerned.
"No, it's not you. I just.I can't do this." Selina replied, the tears starting to fall.

Kevin pulled her into a hug.
"Shh." He said, kissing her cheek gently.
"It's alright." He finished, not knowing what she meant.
"No, it's not. My father is forcing me to end this relationship." Selina replied.
"What? Why?" Kevin asked in shock.
"It's a fairly long story, but I have until noon tomorrow to tell you if you'd like." Selina replied.
"Sounds good." Kevin said, shutting off the music and guiding Selina over to the couch, where they both sat down.

Selina told the entire story- the kidnapping, her choice, and
finally her father's orders.
Kevin looked shocked as she ended her tale at abut midnight.

"So, we can never be together again- ever?" He asked.
Selina nodded.
"I'm so sorry. All this has meant a lot to me." She apologized.
"Don't be. It's not your fault. And we will still have classes
together, so we can see each other then.
"It's nice to know that you enjoyed yourself tonight at least." Kevin replied, wrapping his arm around Selina's shoulders.

Selina nodded, leaned over, and put her head on his shoulder, tucking her feet in beside her.
"Just remember, I'll always love you, no matter what happens." Kevin said.
"And the same to you, but promise me one thing." Selina replied.
"Anything." Said Kevin.
"Promise that you'll find someone else and not be like Eric." Selina said.
"I promise never to be like Eric; I just couldn't do that, not to you, not to anyone. But when it comes to finding someone else, I won't make any guarantees." Kevin replied.
"Good enough." Selina said silently, starting to fall asleep on Kevin's shoulder.

Kevin noticed this and said nothing else, allowing Selina to completely fall asleep there.
When she was completely asleep, he lay his head on hers and also fell asleep.

The next morning, Kevin's mother got up and proceeded to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
She stopped in the living room when she saw Kevin and Selina. They were still asleep and hadn't moved since they had fallen asleep.
She turned and went back to her room.

"Devon!" She called out softly.
"What is it? Did something happen, Karen?" Kevin's father, Devon, asked sleepily, sitting bolt upright.
"Of course not, you just have to see this." Kevin's mother, Karen, replied, heading back to the living room.
Devon got up and followed her.

When they reached the living room, Karen pointed at Selina and Kevin.
"Look at them- isn't it sweet?" She asked.
"Aww," Devon replied.
"They look so perfect together."
"I know. It's so nice to see he's finally found someone who loves him as much as he loves her." Karen said.
Devon nodded.
"We should let them sleep though- it looks like they had a long night."
Karen nodded in agreement and headed to the kitchen. Devon followed to give her a hand.

Selina and Kevin woke up at 11:30 am.
"Morning." Kevin said, kissing Selina on the cheek again.
"Morning." Selina replied, sounding upset.
"What's wrong?" Kevin asked.
"I just can't believe that my father is making me do this." Selina replied, a tear falling down her cheek.
"Oh, Selina. I'm going to miss you so much." Kevin replied, pulling her into a hug.

They hugged each other for quite a while, then Selina looked at the clock; it was now quarter to noon.
"I have to get going. Who knows what my father will do if I'm late." She said.
"One problem- I don't think I can let you go." Kevin replied, still hugging her.
"Kevin, please don't make this harder then it already is." Selina said, pulling out of the hug.

"I'm sorry." Kevin replied, getting up and walking Selina to the door.
"I'll see you at school then" he said, opening the door for her.
Selina nodded.
"Goodbye." She said as she left, attempting to hold back
the tears once again.

Another author's note: I just remembered that I forgot to explain about the whole Devon and Karen thing.
Thanks to Jackie for the suggestion of the names.
Did anyone notice that if you take Devon, and get rid of the
D, and add Karen minus the aren you get Kevon, then change the o to an i, to make Kevin? (lol- I know that was confusing, so here it is simpler: Karen-aren+Devon-DKevon and you change the o to an i to make Kevin).
