Ah, chapter 7, I wrote this in double maths… good times! I still can't decide what ending I wanna use- so if you do decide to review- please put which pairing you wanna see get together in the end, as to help me choice which. Thanks!

"So what happened then? Come on! Tell me all the gory details!" Tala was good at acting like he was happy when he wasn't. He mockingly pushed Kai, and Kai flung himself back onto the bed, too happy to even notice Tala's push.

"It was the best hour of my life!" Kai giggled, and Tala's insides twisted around.

"An hour?"

"Yeah! Rei has such stamina!" Tala looked at the floor, unable to say anything. He was hurting more than he ever had- and he couldn't even show or vent it. He had to pretend and smile. "Oh Tala! It was so amazing! You know, I was at the tower yesterday…"

"What were you doing there?"

"…I was going to jump off…"

"Over Rei?"

"Hey, you're gonna have to watch what you say about him now. As we're going out- I'll have to defend his honor!"

"Going out?"

I never wanted this! I just wanted Kai to be happy, to feel loved.

What have I done to myself?

"Well yeah! You don't just sleep with someone, then wake-up and say 'fuck off', do you?"

That was the plan…

"Well… I can't say much about that…" Tala lied.

"I know you. You're the ultimate player! Ha! Different girl every night! You whore!" Kai laughed heartily, while Tala had to keep looking upwards to stop the tears falling.

You don't know anything about me…

"I was actually quite surprised though," said Kai. "I mean- I guessed that's what Rei was gonna do, but he didn't. Afterwards, he was dead set on making this work."

What the fuck?

I told him only once! Not to fucking go out with him!

Where does this leave me?

"I hope it does work for you two!"

I hope Rei burns in hell for this…

"Thanks Tala! I don't know what I'd do without you. You're such a good friend!"

FRIEND?

He dares call me a friend?

Tala stood up off the bed and headed towards the door. Kai was too lost in his dream world to even notice Tala's departure…

"Bad luck Mariah. You'll get the hang of it one day…" Rei placed all the balls back neatly on the snooker table, and went over and sat by the sulking Mariah.

"I'll never be as good as you Rei"

"That's true, but then no one will ever be as good as me…" Rei smiled weakly at her and she pouted.

"Where were you this morning? You were an hour late for practice! Lee asked me not to say anything, but I'm worried about you lately. You're hardly eating and you always seem lost in your own world… well… you don't look like that today- but you have for the last month or so…" Rei watched her and sighed.

"There was a problem, but I've fixed it. You really don't need to worry about me!"

"What was the problem?"

"You wouldn't understand..."

"You'd be surprised…"

"Relationship problems."

"No fair! I love fixing romantic problems- or at least hearing about them. You selfish pig!" She pouted again.

"Well- I wouldn't call it fixed- in fact- it couldn't be more un-fixed right now…"

"Tell all."

"I love person, person loves someone else, someone else loves me. I've slept with both of them…"

"So if you've slept with the person you love, why aren't you going out?"

"He doesn't like me"

"But he slept with you?"

"He was lonely. But the thing is, I slept with the person who's in love with me out of pity, but now I'm starting to like him too!"

"Tala and Kai?"

"Yeah…"

"Who are you in love with?"

"Tala"

"What?" She shouted.

"And what is wrong with Tala?" They both looked up to the doorway- which Tala was standing in.

"How long have you been listening?" Begged Rei.

"Long enough… I hope you and Kai are happy together…" Tala turned round and walked away. He flung the doors of the sports hall open- smashing the glass- and stepped out into the heavy rain.

I'm no one.

I can't believe I was even beginning to like Rei like that!

"Tala wait!" Tala spun round, to find Rei standing behind him. The rain had drenched him, and his hair was flat. Tala realized that his own hair had lost its shape. "I love you Tala."

Why is my heart leaping?

Why am I so affected by this statement?

"I love Kai…"

"But he doesn't love you back! If you just be with me- I can make you happy- I can give you love. I can give you what you need the most!" The rain was freezing and Tala could begin to feel the dampness on his skin. He wanted to run away, but for some reason ran to Rei…

"Hold me" Tala begged. Rei grabbed Tala with both arms and they shared a long embrace. Tala could feel Rei's hot breath on his neck, and it awoke something inside of him. "Take me somewhere."

"Where do you wanna go?"

"With you…"

"Do you mean it?"

Tala didn't answer, but simply launched himself upwards, and kissed the taller boy. Rei's eyes widened, and almost forgot to kiss back.

Only almost though…

The two boys stood there in the rain, wrapped up in each other, pressing against one other to try and steal the warmth. Hands ran over damp cloths, faces and hair- the rain water finding it's way into there mouths. Neither of them had ever kissed anyone so deeply before.

Tala remembered how Rei had made him feel the night before, and longed for the same attention again. And when he broke off the kiss, he looked up into Rei's eyes, and Rei could instantly tell this too.

I love Kai so much, but loving some one who you know will never love you back is pointless.

Rei loves me.

And in time, I will love him in return.

After so much hate and despair in my life- isn't it only fair that I get a break, and for once, become the happy one?

Rei makes me feel so happy.

Kai makes me feel so sad.

The choice for future happiness seems obvious- so why do I gat this brooding feeling that this choice won't have a happy ending?
