"Hey Lindsay, come in." said Benji as he opened the door to his hotel room.
"Hi." said Lindsay quietly as she made her way in the room. Okay it's now or never, she thought to herself as Benji came towards her. Here it goes, sink or swim. "Benji I think we need to call it quits." she said not daring to look to see pain in his eyes. She wanted to be strong and if she looked at him, she would most definitely shed some tears. "I'm sorry, but you just don't capture my heart the way you're supposed to. I love you, but I'm afraid I don't love you as anything but a friend. I'm sorry." she said getting ready to cry.
"It's okay. I know." said Benji quietly after a moment of silence.
"What do you mean you know?"
"Lindsay, I could tell from the first day that I met you, that there was someone else that had your heart. Then last night, although I was enjoying the little performance you put on, I saw that it wasn't for me. It was for Paul."
"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for putting you thru this."
"No don't say it's your fault, cause its not. WE had a fun right?" he asked as she nodded. "See, it was great. And now you know that you have one extra friend just in case something ever happens." he said hugging her.
"Thanks Benji." she whispered as she let a single tear fall.
"Shhh. Don't cry." he said wiping away the tear.
"Bye." she said leaving.
"Bye."
"Oh God Ceren." Lindsay cried as soon as she got in the car.
"I know hun, its okay." she said giving her friend a hug. "It'll feel better soon, and you'll know if you made the right decision."
"I know, it just hurts."
"I know, but not for long. You better?" she asked as LIndsay started to stop crying.
"Yeah." she sniffled.
"Okay, well we have to go to the arena now, think you can handle going there?"
"Yeah, I should."
"Okay, lets go then." she said as they drove away from the hotel and towards the arena where two guys that they didn't want to see were at.
