Finally…Chapter 7. I know it's taken a while but I was sorta on writer's block. But I have a chapter 6 now so that's all that matters. I hope you like this one. It was hard to come up with it. So, R&R!

Fiona hadn't talked to Van in a week. Ever since the day he told her he loved her, she had been purposely ignoring him. Not because she didn't like him but because she was afraid Cory would think something of it and take it too seriously. Fiona and Cory spent every waking moment together. They went swimming, to theme parks and occasionally to the mall. Every where Fiona went, Cory went and vice-versa.

Van knew for a fact that he had no chance of EVER getting Fiona back. Why hadn't he taken the chance when he had, had it? He was too afraid. It wasn't like him to be afraid, but when it came to girls he was always afraid. He was so angry at Cory for stealing Fiona. It was really Van's fault, though. He was the one without the courage.

Van's Room

Van sat on his bed, bored, thoughtful and clueless as to what he should do. He could hear Fiona's laugh and beautiful voice. She was obviously with Cory again…

Fiona's room

"Goodnight, my love." Cory whispered sneaking in one last kiss.

"'Night, Cory," Fiona yawned. "I'll see you in the morning."

"For sure." He pulled the blanket up a little farther.

He left the room, turning the lights off as he went. Fiona drifted off to sleep. It had been a long day and sleep was well deserved.

Dream

Van walked into the room and leaned over Fiona's bed.

So many words, so many lies.

Funny how there's nothing left to say.

We had our share of days in the sun,

She sensed a presence in the room and quickly opened her eyes to Van.

But we let the clouds get in the way.

Who knew how high we could climb,

'Til we got to the top and we saw how far we could fall?

Van held out his hand to help Fiona out of her bed.

Now that you're gone, it's all I can do

To keep from losing it all.

Van spoke but his words could not be heard. They were too far, too distant.

Tell me what do we wish on now,

Now that our star has fallen from the sky?

All Fiona knew was that he wanted her to follow him. He led the way out of the building and far away.

Where did we go so wrong in this love,

And how do I kiss you goodbye?

Van had lead her into a field of endless flowers. He wrapped his arms around her waist and they began to dance. Fiona felt as if she could dance forever.

Letters and cards, pictures of you

I never thought they could look so old.

They danced as pictures and memories passed around them. Heart breaks, fun times, and tearful regrets.

Must have been fools 'cause we had it all,

But it fell apart when our love grew cold.

Standing with you in the rain,

Only now in the end can we drop our guard and be real.

They danced through every season, staying firm in each others grasp.

Wishing you well, watching you go

I don't know how I should feel.

'Cause lately my mind keeps telling me to run to you

I still can't believe that you're gone.

Van suddenly disappeared and Cory appeared asking for one dance. She agreed, but as she danced she realized that it wasn't the same as when she danced with Van.

But baby my mind keeps telling me that we are through,

And telling my heart to move on.

Fiona suddenly felt a longing for Van.

Tell me what do we wish on now,

Now that our star has fallen from the sky?

Where do we go so wrong in this love,

And how do I kiss you goodbye?

Why? She loved Cory…didn't she?

End Dream

Fiona sat straight up in bed.

"What kind of dream was that?" She asked herself quietly.

She was still tired, so she tried to go back to sleep, but couldn't. It was yet to be light out, still early morning. Since she couldn't sleep she decided to get some fresh morning air.

As she walked outside she could hear the quick steps of someone or something. She didn't know where they were coming from, either.

Suddenly, out of no where someone tackled her to the ground.

"Hahahahaha! Gotcha!" A cheery voice rang out from behind her.

The voice sounded so familiar. Where had she heard it?

And then she remembered. "Andi! Oh my gosh! I can't believe you're here!"

"I know! Heehee!" Andi jumped up off the ground, to help Fiona up.

The two embraced and went to Fiona's room to catch up on all the things Andi had missed while she was gone.

Van

Van woke up to the sound of giggles down the hallway. There was a giggle he didn't recognize.

He walked down the hallway into Fiona's room.

"Uh…hey girls, sorry to interrupt, but you woke me up with all your…giggling." Van noticed a girl he hadn't seen before. He stuck out his hand towards her. "I'm Van and…you are?"

The girl took his hand. "I'm Andi, long time friend of Fiona's." Andi stood up. She had long flowing brownish-red hair down to her waist. She was tall and slender with dark green-brown eyes. She was the energetic kind of girl anyone would want to be friends with. "Nice to meet you, Van."

Andi was…amazed. This man…Van, was spectacular. He had the eyes, the hair and the face. He was gorgeous.

Van desperately wanted someone to love, but he wanted Fiona. Although, he had to admit Andi was beautiful.

"Nice to meet you, too." Van said after a long pause. If Van wasn't mistaken, Andi was blushing. Fiona sat quietly on her bed and didn't say anything.

"Yeah." Andi smiled widely.

"Well, I'm gonna leave you two to you're business. See you." Van left the room to go lay back down in bed.

As soon as Van left, Andi started asking Fiona a bundle of questions about him.

"How old is he?"

"22…soon to be 23." Fiona answered.

"Is he single?"

Fiona rolled her eyes, "Yes."

"Ooooo, cool!" Andi was on a roll. "How long have you known him?"

"Since I was 16 and he was 17," Fiona pulled on a strand of her thick blonde hair, "We were close to a…relationship, but then I met Cory. I haven't talked to Van much lately." She looked down.

"Yay! That leaves Van for me!" Andi jumped up, "I wanna meet Cory so I can see if he's hotter than Van."

Fiona laughed. Just like old times; Andi and her obsession for guys.

And then Fiona remembered. The look. The look in Van's eyes when he'd seen Andi. She knew he liked her, but there was something inside telling her not to let Van go. She needed him. She had a feeling for him…again and a feeling for Cory. Who was the right man? Who? It was time to look back. To see. To look back and see all that she had been through.


Well, I know it is still short. My brain doesn't want to let me think of anything else to write. Grrr! I will though. I do have an idea, but it would have been way too long to put in just one chapter. Hope you like it. Plz, R&R!
