Hey guys! Once again thank you for all the reviews, there are so many now! I can't believe were on chapter 7 already! Its so strange. It's short- once again, but I kinda like the note it ends on so I chopped the rest off and used it to begin chapter 8. These new few chapters are being written faster than I can upload them and I have to say they are becoming my favourites! MaggieMay- you always say something negative but you seem to still be reading and I've come to enjoy reading your witty' comments. They are quite humorous. Secretly I think you're a carsan, it explains why you hate carby and luby so much and your last review mentioned them as a couple... how, cute?

Chapter 7: Some Actions are Stronger Than Words
Boom. The look on his face hit me hard as he walked in. I can't describe it, it was more powerful that any words could explain. There was anger, plenty of anger, but there was also a kind of sadness, as if I had let him down. Well I guess I had.
He looked so disappointed in me I couldn't help the tears from falling down my cheek. His expression didn't change even as I began to cry. He just stood staring. I waited for him to speak, but he didn't. I waited for him to move, but he didn't. I waited for him to soften, but he stayed as hard as ever. He never flinched, never gave me any sign of emotion, I was beginning to wonder if he was feeling anything at all.
I shuddered, not quite able to speak. I waited for him a little longer, every passing second wanting to speak more and more. But I couldn't, I shouldn't, this was his time. I had screwed him over, there was nothing I could say.
Finally he moved towards the bed slightly. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other and I could have sworn his hands were shaking. He was scared, or maybe nervous or maybe just mind numbingly angry.
You still love him?
Carter meant it as a question I'm sure but it came out as a statement. I wondered if I did. Carter meant the world to me, he was my everything... but something just didn't click. I loved him but he just, he just wasn't Luka.
I love you.
Do you still love him?
I looked up to see Carter leaving the room. I tried so hard, so very hard to keep the tears inside me but they couldn't be held back. Suddenly like a waterfall they gushed down the side of my face, streaming down across my cheekbones and cascading off my jaw. I took my head in my hands and sobbed, harder than I ever had before.

Luka peeled off his t-shirt and threw it to he floor, he wiped the sweat from his forehead before removing his trousers. Susan moved closer to him in her sleep. He wrapped his arm around her waist and over her back, allowing her to turn fully onto him.
She was still hot as hell but her body continued to shiver. He wrapped his other arm around her body too, hugging her gently. He watched as her head gently bobbed up and down on his chest as he breathed in and out again. Her hair was spread unevenly across it, a mass of blonde waves. He touched it gently, pushing it out of her face once again.
Susan sighed gently in her sleep and he wondered what she was dreaming about, her body moved restlessly, trying to find a comfortable resting place. Finally she settled, leaving her her bobbing up and down on his chest once again.
He sighed as he hand came to rest by her face, upon his chest. He entwined his own fingers with hers, noting the softness of her skin against his. He sighed again, not remembering a time when he had been this happy, or this worried about another person before. He couldn't be sure but as he gently kissed Susan's sleeping form and began to drift into sleep if maybe, just maybe he was falling in love with her.
