Sorry for the wait – the last bit of school was hectic. But summer has arrived and while I'll be away quite a bit I'll have more free time which means more writing time which means… MORE CHAPTERS! J

"I'm here. You said I wouldn't come but I'm here, I'm here at your doorstep. Waiting for you to tell me everything I did wrong." He was hyper ventilating now, his life was becoming a soap opera and he wasn't the least bit happy about it.

The woman he was speaking to stepped down from the doorway where she was perched, smirking. She twisted her straight brown hair around her finger, tutting softly. "David. David. David. Why on earth would I do that?" Her smile was sickeningly sweet.

David began to answer but was cut short, "Why? I'll tell you why." She dropped the poisoned honey tone. "Because when you kissed me in the editing room, you weren't kissing me because you liked me, it was revenge. It wasn't even logical revenge, but you had gone so insane over Elizabeth McGuire that, whether or not it made sense didn't matter. You need to get revenge on her, break her heart like she broke yours right?"

She paused and took a breathe, she was starting to cry, "Because it doesn't matter how much I liked you, and cared for you, long as you got back at Elizabeth right? What were you getting back at her for that was so bad that you needed to use ME? You were high school sweethearts! You broke up after the prom. You broke up with her."

"Why did you call Miranda…" his voice was icy. And he was unwavering.

"To ask her your new cell number…" She tried. He came a bit closer, "You know it. You called to tell her about our little affair."

"Why would I want to do that?" She was steadily getting less and less confident by the second.

"Because you know it would ruin my relationship with Miranda. You know that their was a reason you never met any of my friends or family, and you know what it was, we weren't real. We were based on lies and betrayals, don't pretend I wasn't the result of a betrayal, we were a mistake. You were mad and wanted revenge… our passion wasn't passion for each other, it was the drive to destroy those who we cared about most… Don't pretend you don't cringe every time you see them." He drew out the words, lengthening their effect.

He took a breath and continued, "It kills you to see Ethan and Kate in all their fashionable glory the same way it kills me to see Lizzie and Mark, it kills you. Destroys you. Rips you apart. They got all the fame and glory and you were stuck interning. Interning for me. But unlike me you can move on from Ethan because you know that Kate and Ethan are perfect for each other in their own superficial bliss."

"David…" She whispered, and reach her finger out to shush him. "I know."

He was a bit taken a back, he was expecting an apology for using him, calling him, manipulating him, but he didn't get it.

She laughed, "David if you were expecting an apology I'd take a good look in the mirror. Anyways, I've got to go fin my soul mate." She grinned and gave him a wink. "Bizarre afternoon I'm having isn't it? We made up in-" she checked her watch "Under an hour. And I'm feeling rather good about myself! It's so surreal, TV like even."

Gordo rubbed his temple and walked over to his car, "Bizarre afternoon, eh? Well Parker… you have no idea."
