REGRETS

A/N: I don't own anything, what else to say?

Scott's bedroom, Around Ten Minutes Later

"Look, I know you don't like her, but please could you just make an effort?" Why does he say that exasperated? I can't believe he wanted me to come here to show me that thing. We are standing in his bedroom and the little box is now between my hands. I feel like I'm going to cry, why can't I be happy for once? I feel a tear dropping from my eye, he just can't see it. "Shel?" He sees everything, why can't he see I love him then? Or maybe he already knows but doesn't want to do anything with me? No, he wouldn't be so mean. I look into his eyes, bad idea.

"I'm sorry Scott. I just can't." My voice cracked, we both heard it.

"Why not?" Because I love you stupid! He's walking closer, why won't he just take me in his arms? I feel him wrap his arms tentatively around my waist, like he had so many times. I feel his breath on my neck now. Why don't I have the guts to kiss him?

"Because…because everything seems wrong." Here I said it. He pulls back a little, why doesn't he stay close? He wants me to elaborate on that. "Mark proposed to me the other night." Oh, he looks surprised! Don't I detect bitterness in his eyes? Yeah, definitively. "But I refused." Ah, I feel so much better now it's out!

"Why that?" Urg! You know why!

"Because he's not the one."

"How can you be so sure?" I roll my eyes at him. Is he that blind?

"Why won't you just drop it Scott? You obviously don't understand what I'm feeling!" I snapped, again. It's been a lot this week!

"Are you still in lo-" I have to cut him off; I know what he's going to ask me.

"Look Scott, I'm sorry okay? I find this necklace really nice." I pull away and leave the room. I just have too!

"Shel wait!" Why is he running after me? He takes my arm and turns me around. "Do you still love me?" NO, no, he's not fair! What can I say now, uh?

"Scott…"

"Just answer me simply." Oh, like it's an easy question!

"You know the answer Scott." I tried my best, here. "But since you don't feel the same…"

"I didn't say I wasn't feeling the same."

"No, but you're obviously happy with Tina."

"What Tina has to do in this discussion? It's only about us."

"Scott, I can just go between you two if you're happier with her than you'll ever be with me."

"I didn't say I was happier Shel. But that's you who called it off when I was ready for commitment." Why does he always have to be right?

"I know and I'm sorry. I wasn't ready Scott, but I never said I didn't love you anymore. I just wanted to take the time." I look at him carefully, and notice his gaze is on my lips. He just has to lean down a little. Why he isn't?

"Shel…" He's whispering now, god it sends shivers down my back. He's leaning down, I just can't move! And suddenly, he's gone…what happened? He's running his hand through his hair, embarrassed. Tina is standing here, a bag in her hand. Why is she here? Does she look mad? Uh, good!

Ah, cliffhangers, we all love them! Next chap will be updated quickly since I already wrote it…please review!
