A/N: This is so short cause it's the end. Thanks for reading this far, guys! The sequel (which is more like a continuation…) is gonna be up soon, but enough of that! On to the fic!

------------------------------

"Brooke…" Comes Freddie's voice. I shake my head and jog out of the building and into the raining streets. I stand for a very small time before jogging to my own apartment. "Brooke." My mom says while I run to my room. I collapse and bury my head into my arms, which are folded across the seat of my chair. "Brooke!" I turn with tear stained cheeks to see a soaking Freddie. "Brooke, why won't you talk to me?!"

"What is there to talk about?" I pause and stand. "You're in love with her, Freddie, and I can't compete with that! I get it. You don't need to tell me twice." He shakes his head.

"Why would I follow you if I wanted to be with her more? Use your logic, Brooke." He pauses. "I like you…so much. I'm not in love with you, but I'm definitely not in love with Carly. Just…give me time –a little bit of time- to…sort things out." I nod and go to sit, but he stops me by holding onto my arm. He pulls me close, which gives me butterflies. "Do you have them too?" Freddie asks while putting my hand where I can feel his heart beat.

"Yes, I do." He nods with a kind smile.

"Carly…can't do this to me anymore." I meet his eyes with my own.

"Really?" He nods and leans in for a kiss, which I accept.

-END-

So, guys…I'm probably gonna type up my sequel, so stick around! It's called 'Tea'… To go with the theme of hot, caffeinated beverages!
