The next day Micayla woke up. She never went back to bed and spent the rest of the night on the couch. Before she fell asleep she was thinking about John and there situation. She'd come to a decision that was hard for her to make but she knew it was for the best. She went upstairs and quietly packed her suitcase being careful not to wake up John. Once she was all packed she went over to John's side of the bed and sat on the edge.

"John." She said softly. "John honey." He opened his eyes.

"Hi."

"Hi." "I wanted to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?" He said sitting up. "Where are you going?"

"Home."

"No." "If this is about last night, I'm sorry."

"No." "You shouldn't apologize to me." "I should apologize to you." "I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to hurt or upset you."

"Why do you want to leave?"

"I don't." "It's what's best for both of us."

"How do you figure that?"

"We're not even together and we're already fighting." "That's not good." "The longer we do whatever the hell we're doing right now, the harder it'll be to walk away from you when I get married." "Once I'm married we can't do this anymore." "It's hard enough to do it now." She said with her voice cracking and tears in her eyes.

"Micayla don't go."

"Do you know how much more it'll hurt us later if we continue this?"

"Do you know how much you'll hurt me right now if you leave?"

"I know." "I'm sorry."

"I know you don't want to do this." "That's why you're on the verge on crying."

"I wish I could be with you John but I can't." "I want to be with you so much and I know you want that to." "You're the only one in my life that makes me happy." "I'll never forget our first night together." "How special and wonderful it was."

"Micayla you can't go."

"I have to." "I realize that now." "I'll only hurt you more in the end." "I never should've came with you and allowed myself to- I have to go."

"No Micayla, I love you."

"What?"

"That's why I got so upset last night because I love you." Micayla smiled and started to cry.

"It's been so long since someone has said that to me." She hugged him. "I love you too."

"You do?" John said smiling.

"Yes." "You're the only man I've ever loved." "That's why when I get married-

"Shh, let's not talk about that right now." He kissed her. She kissed him back. He pulled her on top of him. He took her off her shirt. Micayla's cell phone started to ring. She went to sit up to answer it. John went with her and kissed her. "Mm-mm." He mumbled against her lips. "Let it ring." She took off his shirt. He took off her bra. He laid her down under him. She moaned as he slowly kissed her down her body. He took off her jeans. As he came back up to her mouth they kissed. She took off his sweatpants. He slipped inside her. They started to move slowly. "Stay." He said as they kissed. "I'll stay, mmm." "Good." "Don't break my heart any sooner then you have to." He started kissing her neck. "If there, ohhh, was a way, mmmm, for us to be together, we would be." "I know." He said coming back up to her mouth. They kissed. He started moving faster. "Uhh, tell me again baby." He groaned. "I love you John, ohhh." "I love you so much." "I love you too." "Ohh, John, John, yes, John." She moaned giving in. "Baby." He groaned giving in.

Afterwards he was holding her.

"What a fun way to start the morning." He said smiling. "I am sorry about last night." "It was my fault." "I just got oversensitive about things."

"I understand why." "I felt bad about it." "I hurt you and I'd never want to do that." "I think it was the thing I said about us being friends huh?"

"Yeah."

"We are more then that." "I don't know what we are but we don't have to know."

"No we don't." "All that matters is that we make each other happy and that we love each other."

"Yeah."

"I'm hungry." "Do you want some breakfast?"

"Yeah."

"What do you want?"

"Pancakes."

"Ok." "Stay up here and watch TV." "I'll bring it up to you when it's done."

"Ok." She let him up. He put his sweatpants back on. He kissed her.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
