Georgie finished tying her hair back into a ponytail. She slipped into her Uggs and pulled them over her jeans and was ready to open the dorm room door when his voice called out to her.

"Isn't it kinda chilly outside?" Ryan asked her still lying in bed. Georgie rolled her eyes. She turned around to face him.

"It really isn't." Georgie said.

"Well I think it might get cold later. You might wanna put your jacket on just in case."

"Ryan…just come out and say it." Georgie said walking over to her closet.

"What?" He said sitting up in bed. He rubbed his bare chest.

"You just want me to cover my arms." Georgie said putting on her jean jacket over her pale green polo t-shirt.

"You know how I feel about other guys looking at you. It's annoying and I feel like beating the crap out of all of them."

Georgie went over to him and kissed him on the cheek. "I'll see you later." She said to him. Ryan lied back down in bed as Georgie left the room.

Georgie entered Kelly's. She was about to take her jacket off and realized that Ryan might show up out of nowhere and the ending result would not be good.

She spotted Brooke sitting at table and went over to her.

"So you ignore me for like almost two months and now you want to have breakfast with me?" Brooke said without looking up at her. Georgie sat down across from her.

"Brooke, please let me explain!"

"You know, I don't think I really want to know."

"Brooke, I'm so sorry. You don't know how hard this has been on me."

"And what about me Georgie? I don't even know what's going on! One day you were talking to me and the next I don't even exist!"

"Would you please just let me explain?" Georgie said on the verge of tears. "You're my best friend. I would never give you up. Not on purpose."

"Fine." She said crossing her arms across her chest.

"Thank you. The last time we had breakfast together…I went back home and Ryan was upset that I went without telling him. And then he said that you were a bad influence on me and I shouldn't be friends with you. Brooke, I was so upset, I walked out on him."

"Then what?"

"Then I went back and apologized." Georgie said lowering her gaze. "I told him he was right and that I wouldn't see you anymore; that I wouldn't talk to you anymore." Georgie said with water filling up her eyes. She looked back up at Brooke. "I am so sorry."

"You would choose Ryan over me?" Brooke said sounding hurt.

"I was afraid."

"You shouldn't be afraid of your boyfriend Georgie."

"Do you forgive me?"

"Does he know you're here right now?"

Georgie shook her head. "No."

"Georgie, I am not going to forgive you until you break up with his sorry ass." Brooke said. She got up and grabbed her purse off the table.

"Wait Brooke-"

"No-Georgie. I'm sick of you obeying Ryan like he's your master or something. Come back when you're through with him. Then I'll forgive you." Brooke said storming off.

Georgie buried her face into her hands. She thought she was doing the right thing by telling Brooke the truth even though she was going behind Ryan's back. But maybe he was right about Brooke. Maybe they weren't meant to be friends after all.

Dillon quickly jotted down the rest of the notes from Chapter 23 in his Psychology book. His teacher always made the students take notes instead of actually giving them to him. But then again, it was college. He put his pen down on his desk and looked at his watch. He still had ten minutes until the teacher arrived. He turned to his side and saw Georgie walking over. She plopped down in the seat next to him.

"Are you sure you're boyfriend won't kill me if he sees us sitting together?" Dillon asked Georgie who was smiling.

"No. He's in his own class right now. And he has another one right after. He's not going to be looking for me. We're safe." She said smiling at him.

"K' good. Cuz I really do want to live a long life." Dillon said. Georgie laughed. She always seemed to laugh at even the most stupid jokes he said.

"I know I shouldn't be going behind his back. But, it's just so much better actually having a friend." Georgie said to Dillon. "I'm screwed if he ever finds out that I'm still talking to you." Georgie looked Dillon in the eye. "But it's a chance I'm willing to take." She said giving him a small smile.

"I'm glad you're willing to risk you're relationship for me."

"I need you." Georgie said in slight whisper.

"And I'm here for you." Dillon said back to her. Their eyes locked for a few seconds. Dillon felt like the world had just stopped turning and the only two people that were alive were him and Georgie. He felt that there was no one else in the room but the two of them. He wanted so badly to caress her cheek or pull her into his arms so he could ease her pain. But before he could make a move, his professor called out.

Georgie blinked a few times and looked away from Dillon. He kept watching her, not wanting to ever take his eyes off of her. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Everything about her: her heart, her smile, her eyes, her hair…her lips.

He turned away from her. He sighed to himself knowing that Georgie might never be his.

"Hey you wanna go grab a coffee or something? My treat." Dillon asked Georgie right after their class ended.

"Uh, sure. But you're not paying for me." Georgie said putting her bag on her shoulder.

"And why is that?" Dillon asked her smiling.

"Because only my boyfriend's allowed to pay for me." Georgie smirked. She walked in front of him.

Dillon laughed. "Well technically I am your boy-friend."

Georgie turned around and walked backwards. She grinned at him and turned around again. Dillon smiled to himself. He was so paying for her.

They entered a small coffeehouse called, "Ricardo's Café." It was a quiet place in PC that not many people went to often. Georgie loved it there though. When she was younger, her parents would always bring her and her sister Maxie. And they would always get to try sips of coffee from their parents.

She convinced Dillon in bringing her there. She wasn't able to come a lot though because Ryan absolutely hated it.

"Are you sure you wanna be here?" Dillon asked noticing that there was only one other couple there.

"Yes!" Georgie said happily. "I love it here!"

Dillon smiled. They walked up to the cashier.

"What can I get you guys?" The girl behind the counter asked.

"What do you want Georgie?"

"Umm…I want a small Caramel Vanilla." Georgie said leaning into Dillon.

"And I'll take a Brazillan Nut Crunch. Thanks." Dillon said. He took his wallet out. "I'm paying for you." Dillon chuckled.

Georgie smiled. "Fine, but the next time we go out for a coffee, I'm paying."

"Who said we're going again?" Dillon teased. Georgie grinned. The girl came back with two coffees in her hands. She placed them on the counter and Georgie took them. Dillon paid the girl and took his coffee from Georgie. They went and sat down at a table by the window.

"Drink it." Georgie said sitting across from him.

"No kidding I'm gonna drink it." Dillon said.

"No, I mean right now. Do it!"

Dillon laughed at her. He took a sip of the coffee and was amazed. "Mmm." And he took another sip.

Georgie laughed. "I told you, this was the best coffee you'll ever have." She said taking a sip of her own.

"You come here often?" Dillon asked her.

"No, not that often. Ryan hates it here. I brought him like twice over the last 2 years and he hated it. The last time I came here was a long time ago." Georgie said.

"Well, I like coffee and this stuff is really good. So we can come here as often as you like." Dillon said.

"Thanks." Georgie said happily. "My parents used to bring here when I was little. Me and my sister. And we would take sips from their coffee even though we were so little." Georgie laughed. "I miss those days."

"How are they?"

"Maxie's great. She goes to NYU. We don't get to see each other that much and I haven't talked to her in ages. And my parents…well my real dad left when I was really little. But Mac has been the best. He lives here in PC."

"What about your mom?"

"Felicia? She's always away doing a mission or something. She was pretty much gone for most of my life just like my biological dad. But Mac has always been around. He's more than I could ever ask for."

"Do you see him a lot?"

"All the time. And it's a good thing that he likes Ryan." Georgie laughed. "Tell me about your family."

"Well, my dad's not around anymore. But mom is. Her name's Tracy and she's kinda messed up but I still love her. I mean she's put me through hell but she's always been there for me y'know? I also have an older brother, Ned. He's cool. We don't talk all that much. But outside from them, I have a pretty big family. Lot's of cousins and they're all crazy. I'm sure you've heard about them."

"Who hasn't heard about the Quartermaines?" Georgie laughed.

Dillon laughed too. "They're a crazy bunch of people."

"Can I ask you something? It's kind of personal so feel free not to answer it."

"Shoot."

"Do you have a girlfriend or have had a girlfriend?" Georgie asked him.

Dillon laughed. "It's not too personal." He said laughing. "Currently, no I do not have a girlfriend. But in the past, yes I have. But it didn't work out to well with her. She had some serious issues and I couldn't deal with it anymore. She stopped accepting my help so I told her to go screw herself and walked away."

"Oh wow." Georgie said shocked. "You don't seem like the kind of guy that would walk away from a relationship."

"It depends on the relationship. And this relationship I would not walk out of it." He said looking her in the eye.

"Good." Georgie said quietly. She smiled to herself. "Can you take me home?"

"Sure." Dillon said smiling.
