(A/N) Sorry for the long wait…I just haven't been inspired 2 write and… yeah…. So anyway enjoy.

Disclaimer- After a 2 month absence I still own nothing…

Recap: Before she knew it she was pinned to the door, Edwin holding both her wrists. Then she realized they were very close to each other; their faces almost touching.

"Tell me!" He growled his warm breath tickling her face.

She just couldn't take it anymore. She closed the remaining distance between them crashing her lips into his.

Edwin's POV

Edwin felt Lizzie's lips caressing his own. It was better than he had imagined. Then his world came crashing down. HE couldn't do this, he was kissing his step-sister and no matter how much he was in love with her, it was just wrong. He pushed Lizzie away softly.

Derek's POV

After dinner was done George sent Marti into the living room and told Derek and Casey to sit down at the table.

"So how long has this been going on?" Nora asked calmly.

"About a year and half." Derek said

"So you have been going behind our backs dating for a year and a half?" Nora said shocked.

"Yes." Derek responded.

"And you didn't trust us enough to come to us and tell us the truth?"

"NO it's not that…." Casey said "It's just this sort of thing is looked down upon and well we kind of thought you would break us up."

"It was my idea for keeping it from you guys." Derek interjected.

"Look I don't care that you have been keeping it from us but since Nora and I know now, there are some ground rules. But before I tell you those, I need you to answer one question for me have you guys…. you know." George said

"NO!" Derek and Casey cried in unison

"Good." Nora said.

"Okay now for the rules."

"1. No Sex none. Not under this roof."

"What? Awwwwwwww!" Derek said jokingly

"2. Do not kiss, or show any other type of physical affection in the presence of your younger siblings."

"3. If you do that in one of your guy's rooms for the love of god, lock the door."

"Anything else?" Derek asked

"As of now no, but there might be in the future. If you break these rules there will be consequences."

"You guys can go."

Casey and Derek left the kitchen with goofy smiles on both their faces.

Casey was about to go upstairs with Derek when Marti asked to help her with her art project and Casey couldn't resist.

Derek rolled his eyes and continued upstairs making a comment about how she was free to join him at anytime. As he ascended the stairs he heard yelling and began to listen in.

Edwin's POV

She looked at him confused as she took a few steps back.

"Edwin? What?" She asked softly.

"Lizzie…" Edwin cut her off, " I… We can't do this…Even though I like you… a lot.. It's wrong…"

"Why is it wrong? I like you! A lot too. That kiss was the most amazing thing ever."

"Plus I'm still going out with Nicole… and I don't want to hurt her…"

"Well you're hurting me!"

"Liz…"

"Answer my question how is it wrong?" Lizzie said temper flaring.

"Lizzie we are step-siblings…"

"WHO FUCKING CARES?" Lizzie yelled tears filling her eyes. "WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I CARE ABOUT SOME NARROW-MINDED ASSHOLES WHO THINK ITS WRONG? WE LIKE EACH OTHER A LOT SO IT SHOULDN'T MATTER!!"

"Liz…"

"NO! DON'T EVEN. IF YOU REALLY LIKED ME AS MUCH AS YOU SAID YOU DO THEN IT WOULDN'T MATTER TO YOU."

"Liz…please.. list-"

"NO I WANT YOU TO GET THE OUT OF MY ROOM. NOW."

At this point tears were streaming down her face. Her cheat heaving

"Fine… Lizzie but if you at least want to hear me out then you know where to find me."

A loud slapping sound resonated through the room.

"I DON'T EVER WANT TO TALK TO YOU AGAIN! NOW LEAVE!"

Edwin did a double take and brought his hand to his face where Lizzie had slapped him. Edwin sighed and left her room.

"Looks like you're in the dog house big time little bro." Derek said smirking leaning against the door to his room.

"Shut up." Edwin said quietly as he walked passed Derek to his own bedroom.

Lizzie's POV

Since Edwin had left all Lizzie had done was curl up in the corner and begin to sob uncontrollably. Why? Why does this always happen to me? Always the best stuff in my life is followed by something bad… Like after we won the soccer championship I slipped and broke my leg during the celebration…

She growled and punched the wall.

Edwin's POV

Edwin frowned staring up at his ceiling. He fucked up and he knew it. God I'm so stupid…and now I lost my best friend and… and her completely…

He had no idea what to do. I need advice… but from who? Jamie? No he wouldn't understand… Derek? No… George? Well he probably is the best option… but no names… I'll say I'm asking for a friend…

Edwin took a deep breath got up and headed downstairs.

Derek's POV

Casey had joined him a little while ago and they were lying on his bed together. He was holding her close to him.

"I can't believe we didn't get in trouble and our parents didn't go crazy." Casey said smiling and giving him a peck.

Derek was staring off in space thinking about the argument he had heard between Lizzie and Edwin before.

"Derek?" Casey questioned

"Huh? Oh yeah me too…"

"Der what is it."

"Nothing.."

"Derek…there's something.. I'm not stupid…"

"I know your not…"

"What is it?"

"After our conversation I was coming upstairs and I heard Ed and Liz screaming at each other. I seriously think they are in love…."

"He looked like they took teletubbies off TV."

"Derek be serious…"

"Fine. Trust me if you saw the look on Ed's face you would think they were in love too."

"But what were they arguing about?"

"They kissed and obviously they aren't boyfriend and girlfriend because he is still going out with that one girl… but Edwin was telling her it was wrong and that pissed Lizzie off."

"I know how she is when she is really, really angry."

"But that isn't the worst part. She said she never wanted to talk to him again."

"Sounds like we got a big problem." Casey said. "I'm going to talk to her okay?"

"Sure just leave me here… all alone… hmph I feel so unloved."

"Der-ek… be serious."

"Fine, fine I'm just kidding."

Edwin's POV

When Edwin entered the kitchen Nora was washing dishes.

"Um Nora do you know where he.." Edwin began

"In our bedroom." Nora said cutting him off.

"Thanks." Edwin said heading towards his parent's bedroom.

He entered the room and saw his dad typing something on the computer.

"Um dad…"

"Yes Ed?" George said turning his chair to face Edwin.

"Can you give me some advice?"

"Sure what's up bud?"

"Well my friend is going out with a girl that he thought he liked but he really didn't. And he really, really likes another girl and she likes him back but its wrong and the girl is really mad at him for saying that it was when she confronted him. And he also doesn't want to hurt the girl he's going out with."

"Well he may not like it but he is going to have to. The best he can do is let her down easy. As for the other girl she will be mad for a while but she will eventually calm down and she probably will if she really likes him and he needs to apologize to the girl as well because the first step for a second chance is taking responsibility. But why is it wrong?"

"Thanks dad you're the best."

"Ed wait."

"Bye." He left the bedroom and ascended the stairs to go to his own to think about how to let Nicole down easy, and apologize to Lizzie to make things right.

Lizzie's POV

Lizzie stood shakily and moved to her dresser moving opening her sock draw and moving the socks to find what she was looking for. Then she found it. A knife. She had thought about it immensely over the 2 weeks after she realized she loved Edwin but never did it.

She closed the draw and sat back in the corner.

She put the blade against her forearm about 1/3rd the way up from her wrist. Closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
