A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in such a long time! I'm grounded off the computer and I'm using the school computer to do these chapters. So to make up for it, I got 3 new chapter that I'm pretty sure you'll love! So please keep reviewing and enjoy!

Sean's POV

I didn't talk to her for a couple of days. I guess I thought she needed some time to herself. We weren't even going out, but I didn't want to take a chance. I know I love her, I really do. I just don't know if she loves me back.

She came by my locker on her way to lunch.

"Hi." she said.

"Hey. How are you?"

"I'm better, thanks." And she did something amazing. She kissed me.

"What was that for?" I asked.

"Because you saved me the other night." She smiled.

Ellie's POV

I don't think of Sean as my boyfriend. Well, yet anyways. I know I love him, but there's a part of me deep down that is still scared that he might break my heart again. Even though we kissed. I feel like he's more my friend, then my boyfriend. Like Marco. Wow, I haven't talked to Marco in a while. He's still in Africa, but I don't know when he's coming back.

I got up and dialed his number. No answer. He never picks up his phone, anyways, so I went to do my math homework. Just as I was about to start, the phone rang. I hope hoping it was Marco, or better yet, Sean. But it was neither.

"Hey Ellie." a familiar voice said.

"Ash, hey!"

"I haven't talked to you in a while."

"Yeah, I know. Things have been pretty busy."

"Are you okay?"

"What?" I said.

"Well, Sean told me that, that night you fell on your way home or something."

"Oh…right. Yeah, I'm fine."

"Well anyways, update me. How are things with him?"

"Good, I guess."

"Good, I guess? I don't think so. Spill Nash." She said.

"Well, we talked that night. A lot of talking. I think we're cool now, but we aren't back together."

"Ok, good luck with that."

"Thanks, but I have to go. Major math homework."

"I'll see you tomorrow, bye."

"See ya." I said hanging up.

Fell? It must have been the same night that I stayed over Sean's. Had he told anyone else? I didn't specifically tell him not to, but this isn't exactly something you would tell anyone.

Things like this can make or break a person.

I couldn't sleep that night. I really hadn't slept any night after what happened. I kept having nightmares. I was up until 3:24 in the morning when I decided to call Sean. Yeah, it was late, but I needed to know.

"Hello?" I could tell I had woken him up.

"You didn't tell anyone, did you?"

"Ellie?...Do you know what time it is?"

"Just tell me."

"No, I didn't. Except, Ashley called that night because she was worried, and you were already asleep so I just told her that you fell on your way home and that's why you were late."

"Thank you."

"El, I think you should tell someone."

"No…it's not a big deal. I'm over it."

"It's against the law. That person can go to jail."

"I don't care." I said.

"Well, then why don't you talk to Paige?"

"Are you kidding me? Paige cant keep her mouth shut. I don't want the whole school to think that I'm a slut or that I'm easy. And I don't want people to think that your girlfriend is a whore-"

He stayed quiet. I couldn't believe what I had said. It just came out, like I was so used to it. We're not back together. I quickly hung up the phone. How would I ever face him again?

Sean's POV

Wow, I thought, I can't believe she said that. Does it mean she wants to get back together? I really hope so.

I tried calling her back, but she wouldn't pick up. Plus, it was almost 4am. I went back to sleep. I'd see her at school today anyways.

During Media Immersion, I talked to someone I hadn't talked to in a while.

"Hey Sean."

"Oh, hey Emma."

"So your back? What happened?"

"Parent developed their old habits, I guess. They were always drunk."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Thanks…Emma, I just want you to know that I meant everything I said on the beach. I want us to be friends."

She smiled. I always thought that Emma was a pretty girl. But there's a difference, Emma may be pretty, but Ellie is beautiful.

I saw Ellie walking to class and tried to talk to her.

"Hey El." I said. She didn't even look at me. "Ellie, please just talk to me." She turned around. "Okay, are you mad at me or something?"

"No, I'm not mad at you."

"I want us to get back together, but you're the one who has to let me know…do you want to get back together?" She turned around and I felt like my heart sank into my stomach.

"Oh…you don't want to get back together." I said.

"No! It's not that…it's just that…" She turned around and I could tell that she was going to cry.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"You have to promise me something."

"Okay, what?"

"You have to promise me that you'll never do what you did again. You have to promise that you'll never leave me like you did. Sean, you have to promise me that. That you'll never hurt me that much again."

Fuck, I had really messed up by leaving her. I took her hand.

"I promise."
