A/N: Ok! Let me explain these chapters!

'This format': Thoughts in the person's head.

This format: Flash backs and/or dreams Atem is seeing. Is Lieren seeing them too?...

This format: Sound effects or random little thought that Atem is thinking while he sleeps.

Normal format: What is happening in the present.

THE CHARACTERS:

Elena: A mean and nasty sixteen year old girl who seems to think that she had a relationship with the pharaoh before Lieren came along. She HATES Lieren and now that Atem hates her, she'll do anything to sabotage Lieren and Atem's dream of being happy together. She seems very familiar to Atem. As he slips in and out of the dreams he feels that she is a past life version of Akira!

Tatiana: Close friends with Elena, but not as mean. She doesn't necessarily HATE Lieren, but she definitely doesn't like her. She is twelve and the youngest of the girls. Even though she is hurtful to Lieren, part of her pity's and feels bad for the blonde because un-denounced to everyone else, Tatiana has some secrets of her known and not only that, but she knows a lot of Lieren's secrets.

Lieren: The beautiful and not-so-innocent-as-everyone-thinks-girl. She has a depressing and heart wrenching past that even Atem knows little about. She'll tell him everything when the time comes, but for now she wants him to love her like no one else ever did…

Atem: The poor hero of the story. All the girls want him, yet he only loves Lieren. They have been best friends since they were very young and still Atem doesn't know why Lieren cuts her wrists…

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS!

Dirty Little Secrets…Part III

Looking back at me

I see

That I never really got it right…

"Pancakes or waffles?"

Atem shrugged. He was a little annoyed at this moment. Lieren was the cause. Sure, she did nothing wrong but she did avoid his question. "It doesn't matter to me."

"Fine." She tried had to keep her smile. "I'll make both!"

I never stopped to think of you…

Atem growled under his breath.

"Is something wrong pharaoh?"

"No-Yes, Lieren. Something is very wrong."

Lieren ran to him. "What is it! Are you hurt!" She inspected his body. Atem pushed her hands off of his shoulders. "Huh?"

"Do you have any secrets Lieren?"

I'm always wrapped up in things!

I can not win…

Lieren bit her lip. "W-Why?"

"Do you have any secrets?"

"You weren't lying. You are a virgin." She smiled slightly as tears fell down her cheeks. "Save it Atem. It is a precious thing. So precious to have…and sometimes…precious to give away…" She turned away and walked over to the stove. Turning it off, Lieren ran out of the kitchen and out of the house in tears.

You are the antidote that got me by

"Lieren!"

Something strong, like a drug that got me…

"Come back!" Atem grabbed his coat and sprinted out the door after her.

High…High…

"Where are you Liere-" He skidded to a stop as he found Lieren in the middle of an alley with a pair of scissors in her hands. "NOOOO!" He screamed and slapped them out of her grasp. They flung against a dirty trashcan and landed on the cemented ground.

"Are you nuts!" Lieren didn't look up at him. "Answer me! What were you thinking!"

"I-I…"

"You what!"

"I don't know…"

"God Dammit!" He shook his head and hugged the girl tight in his arms. "I don't want to…" he stopped as tears began to rise. "I-I don't want t-to lose you…" He almost panicked. He was going to cry again.

"It's ok too cry Atem…It's ok to cry…"

"I-I know…" He bit his lip hard. "It's not ok to commit suicide, though."

Lieren's eyes widened. "Yeah…well…Don't act like you never tried it!"

Atem gasped slightly. He let go of her and began to walk away.

"I-I'm sorry!" She ran after him. "I didn't mean to hurt you!"

Quickly, Atem pulled down his sleeves to cover his wrists. "You didn't. It's just that…You promised you wouldn't tell…"

TO BE CONTINUED…

A/N: SORRY! SORRY THAT IT IS SOOOOO SHORT!
