A/N: Thanks for the feedback! It means a lot to me! )

Georgie finished off her tuna sandwich and wiped her fingers with a napkin. She looked over at Ryan who was gulping down the last of his beer. They were having lunch on the PC docks. Georgie swung her legs back and forth over the edge of the docks. She looked out into the water thinking about nothing.

"What are you thinking about?" Ryan asked looking over at her.

Georgie laughed. "Nothing." She said shaking her head.

"You're thinking about something." Ryan said standing up. He went over to the garbage can and threw away the aftermath of their lunch.

"No, I'm not." Georgie laughed. "Just because I'm quiet doesn't mean I'm thinking about something." Georgie said also standing up.

"Dillon?" Ryan asked without looking.

Georgie looked at Ryan confused. "Dillon? You think I'm thinking about-Dillon?" Georgie asked in confusion. "Why in the world would I be thinking about him? Especially while we're out having lunch-Ryan what's wrong with you?"

"Georgie, are you seeing him?"

"Where is this coming from?" Georgie asked angrily.

"He's in one of your classes' right? You see him often?" Ryan asked finally looking at her.

"Yeah, he's in my Psychology class but what does this have to do with anything?"

"Georgie I don't want you to talk to him anymore."

"What? Why? We only see each other twice a week during class and we don't talk that much. And even if we do, who cares? He's just a friend."

"Oh so you're so friends now?" Ryan asked rolling his eyes.

"I don't get what you're point is Ryan. Yeah he's my friend. But what is the big deal?"

"Georgie, I don't want you hanging around that guy."

"Why?" Georgie asked angrily.

"Because I said so." Ryan said sternly. He moved closer to her.

"I stopped talking to my best friend for you. Brook Lynn, remember her? My best friend Ryan. And now you want me to stop talking to my only other friend?"

"I'm your friend!" Ryan yelled. "Me. You don't need anyone else." Ryan grabbed her tightly. "I'll be whatever you need." He said hoarsely.

"You're hurting me." Georgie said her voice shaky. Ryan let her go roughly.

"I'll meet you back at the dorm." He rudely said. Ryan walked away from and went up the steps, away from the docks. Georgie wrapped her arms around herself trying to control herself from crying. She didn't know what was going on with him but she wished it would stop soon. She hated that he was being threatened by her friends for no reason. She wished she could talk to him like normal couples would but she knew it was impossible to change his mind. He would only do what he had to do and he would never listen to anyone else, not even Georgie.

"Georgie?"

Georgie turned around to see a familiar face. It was Dillon. Suddenly she felt the wetness on her face and realized that she had been crying. She quickly wiped the tears from her face.

"Hey." She said, her voice quivering.

"Are you okay?" Dillon said moving closer to her. She looked at him and he looked so concerned as if nothing else mattered in the world then fixing her pain. She had never seen that with Ryan before. Well she used too…in the beginning.

She shook her head and snapped back to reality. She turned away from him. "Yeah I'm fine. Listen Dillon, you should go."

"Why? Georgie, you're crying and you're asking me to leave you like this?"

"Dillon, this is my problem and I will deal with it on my own okay? I don't need to vent or complain about my life to anyone." Georgie said her voice still shaking.

"I want to help."

"You can't." Georgie said facing him. "You can't." She whispered said looking away from him again. "Please just go."

"I'm not going anywhere." Dillon answered back. Georgie looked up at him one more time and walked past him and left the docks.

Georgie entered her dorm room and saw Ryan sitting on the bed looking angry as ever. She sat down next to him.

"What took you so long?" He asked her.

"I was just thinking about what happened."

"And?"

Georgie closed her eyes to stop the tears from forming. "And I'm sorry." She said quietly regretting the words that had already come out of her mouth. "I won't talk to Dillon anymore. You're the only person that is important to me and I will always to come to you." Georgie said not facing him. Ryan put his hand on her face and turned her to face him.

"Thank you." He whispered. He pulled her closer and kissed her hard on the lips. Georgie pulled away almost automatically.

"Not right now Ryan." She said looking up at him. Ryan stared at her and Georgie regretted saying what she just said. Without saying anything, Ryan kissed her again. She didn't stop him this time knowing it would end in disaster. His hands went up her shirt and roamed around on her back. He finally pulled it off and began kissing her neck. He pushed her down on the bed. He took his own shirt off and lied down on top of her sucking on her neck greedily. Eventually the pants came off and Ryan made "love" to her. Georgie shut her eyes tight, but the tears spilled anyway.

---

Ryan rolled off of her and lied down next to her breathing heavily. Georgie wiped the tears off her face and immediately got off the bed and started pulling her jeans on and then pulled her pink shirt over her head.

"Where are you going?" Ryan asked her.

"I just remembered that I have to talk to my English professor about the research paper that I'm writing. And she told me to come at five and I'm running late." Georgie tied her back into a ponytail.

"When will you back?" Ryan asked sitting up in bed still breathing heavily.

"Soon. How about you meet me at Kelly's at 7 and we'll have dinner?" Georgie said opening the door and walking out. She closed it without letting him answer.

She started walking really fast away from her dorm room. She would do just about anything at that moment to get away from him.

---

Georgie went back to the docks and surprisingly to her, Dillon was still there. She smiled to herself and shook her head.

Dillon stood up as soon as he saw her coming. Georgie smiled at him and said, "You're still here?"

"I knew you'd come back." He said back to her. Georgie stood across from him and looked him in the eye.

"There's something you need to know," Georgie started, "I can't see you anymore."

"Why? Cuz Ryan said so?"

"I'm serious Dillon."

"Georgie, you're acting as if we're having an affair or something. We're just friends."

"I know that. But he doesn't understand and I need to respect his wishes."

"Well you can avoid seeing me but I'm not gonna avoid you." Dillon said looking out into the water.

"Don't make this harder than it already is." Georgie pleaded.

"Is it hard for you?" Dillon shot back suddenly facing her. "You're the one who said, we barely know each other, then why is it hard for you to turn away from me?"

"Because you're my friend and I don't want to lose you. I have no choice though."

"You do have choice. This is your life. Why are you letting him take control?"

"He's my boyfriend Dillon. He has every right to tell me who I can see and who I can't."

Dillon shook his head in disgust. He rubbed his hand on face and looked at her. "Do what you want Georgie. I'm not one to stop you. But I just want you to know, that I'm here for you if you ever need me." Dillon said to her. He turned around and started to walk away.

"Dillon, wait!" Georgie said to him. Dillon turned around to see a sad look on Georgie's face.

"I need you right now." Georgie said her voice shaky and tears forming in her eyes. "Can you just sit with me…please?" Georgie said, a tear drop falling from her eye.

Dillon swallowed back hard and went over to her. He knew it was the wrong thing to do…taking her into his arms. But she didn't pull away.
