A/N: so after thinking for a while I decided to do B.
I ran through the airport until I saw an empty bench. I sat down on it and buried my head in my hands. I was in shock. First, I kissed John, which I always wanted to do, and then I realized that I might possibly still have feelings for Bradley. It was insane mostly because last time around Bradley was a jerk to me.
I felt someone wrap their arm around my shoulders. I looked up and saw Sam.
"Hey Sam. I look like a mess don't I?" I asked. He smiled.
"Nah, but John told me what happened." He said.
"He hates me right now doesn't he?" I asked Sam.
"He's not your biggest fan right now. So yeah he kind of hates you." Sam said.
"Great. I really screwed this up didn't I?" I asked Sam.
"Not tremendously." Sam said. We smiled at each other. Then I saw John approaching. I avoided looking at him.
"Hey Sam!" he yelled across the hall completely ignoring me. He walked up to us and then he looked at me.
"Oh, um hey." He said
"John…" I started.
"I just remembered that I have a…thing. I should go." John said quickly and walked away. I stood up and followed him.
"John!" I yelled. He turned around.
"What?!" he asked me icily.
"I owe you an explanation." I said.
"About what? Oh you mean the part where we kissed and then you ran away. Yeah I think you do." He said.
"I can't because I still have feelings for Bradley." I said.
"What! He is a pig. And you have feelings for him? I don't get you Six. Sarah was easy to get. She told me everything but you, you tell me nothing. I have tried putting up with it, just waiting for you to trust me enough but I'm tired of dealing with waiting for you." He said and stormed out of the airport. I stood there in shock. I couldn't believe that he said those things. I stood there until Sam dragged me away
John
I walked out of the airport and stood next the road trying to hail a cab. Finally one stopped. I opened the door and climbed in.
"Can you take me to…?" I started. The cab driver chuckled.
"First time in Kansas kid?" he asked me.
"Yeah. Do you know any place good to hang out?" I asked.
"Yeah I do." He said and started up the cab. He drove for about half an hour before we reached a small street with small shops and cobblestone sidewalks. I handed the cab drive a wad of cash and got out. I looked around the street. It had the Paradise feel to it. I thought of Sarah and wished that she were here. I walked around for about an hour and a half before I walked into a small coffee shop and bought a latte. I had just walked out of the store when I heard my phone buzz. I grabbed it out of my pocket and looked at the screen. It was Sarah. I answered hastily.
"Sarah?" I asked.
"Hey John. How are you?" she asked. I smiled.
"I've been better." I said.
"You don't look to bad." She said. I became confused it was like I was hearing Sarah on the phone and behind me. And how could she say I looked fine? Finally realization dawned on me and I turned around. I saw her standing there smiling. I ran towards her and pulled her into a big hug.
"Do you want to let me breath John?" she asked.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well I'm here checking out the college. It's a few minutes' drive from here." She said. I smiled.
"Well I am really glad to see you." I said and leaned down and kissed her. I heard someone breathe in sharply and broke the kiss off to turn around. I saw Six walking away and I could hear her sobbing quietly.
"Is she all right?" Sarah asked me.
"It's complicated." I said and started to walk after her. Sarah pulled me back.
"You're great but there are some things that should be left to girls and this is probably one of those things." She said.

I quickly walked away from John and Sarah with tears running down my face not wanting to be seen but I heard someone running after me. I turned around expecting to see but instead I saw Sarah.
"Are you okay?" she asked. I snort.
"Do I look fine?" I asked icily. Sarah backed away a little.
"What's wrong?" she asked me.
"What's wrong is that my ex is following me around and the guy I'm in love with hates me!" I snarled at her.
"Your ex? I never would have you pinned as a girl who would date," she said and when she saw my look she hastily added, "You know because you are so fiercely independent." I didn't reply.
"And, um…not to push but who are you in love with?" she asked. I snorted. Were all humans so…daft?
"I think you are a smart girl. Figure it out." I said. Sarah realized who I was talking about and hugged me in a friendly way.
"He likes you too." She whispered in my ear.
"No he doesn't. He hates me." I said. Sarah gave me a look.
"He does because I look at him the same way he looks at you. And it breaks my heart to admit it. I think he hasn't decided who he likes better but do you want ice cream?" She asked. I laughed at the cliché but nodded. We walked down the street to an ice cream parlour and Sarah ordered both of us two kid size scoops of vanilla ice cream. We ate them in silence. When we finished I threw the cups away in the trash and we walked outside.
John was sitting on a bench arm wrestling with Sam. He looked up and smiled at Sarah.
"Hey." He said and wrapped his arm around Sarah's waist. She rested her head on his shoulder.
"Hey. Oh! I should introduce you to my cousin. He is the sweetest guy ever. His name is Bradley um…Gordon."
A/N: Sorry about all of the P.O.V switches but I think we all needed to know what John was thinking. How did you like my ending? Bradley is not gone! MWAHAHAHA! –Despedida.
