13. Always Something

I saw nothing but red. I wanted to scream. I wanted to throw something at the wall so it will break. I wanted whatever I threw to crash in to a million pieces like my heart was doing. It felt like I could literally hear it cracking in my ears.

I wanted to…I wanted to… I wanted to break down to my knees and cry.

That son of a bitch. I can't believe he was cheating on me. Just a few hours ago, he spent me a text telling me he loved me. I can't believe I actually believe that bull shit.

Now there was two ways I could handle this. I could walk away and continue dating this pig like nothing's wrong. Or I could walk in there and be a total bitch about this.

I made my decision before going through with my options.

I was all for going in there and yelling, but I had to play this coolly.

I pushed the door open with the tip of my finger, which creaked as it swung open. I noticed him trying to push away. Don't try to push her off now.

I folded my arms as I stepped in the room. They still didn't pull away, so I cleared my throat.

Lauren finally let go of his lips and turned to me. I was almost sick to my stomach when I saw lip gloss smudged on his lips.

"Do you really think that's appropriate, Mr. Masen?" I said when both of their eyes were on me.

"Oh my god." Lauren said as she wiped her lips. "I should go." She got off his lap and quickly went to get her designer bag. I stepped aside as she raced out of the classroom; leaving me alone with him.

I glared at him and he looked like he saw a ghost. "Bella, it's not what you think." He started.

"Save it." I said calmly. I shook my head. "I can't believe I actually fell for all that bullshit you fed me." I grabbed the 'E' charm that still hung around my neck and snatched it off. I threw it on the floor, hoping it would crack or something. "I'm done."

I turned on my heels and walked out. I felt tears start to build up in my eyes. I began to walk faster as I let them fell.

"Bella." I heard him call after me. I paced up my speed to a jog to get away from him. I heard him run behind me. "Bella, stop." He breathed as he grabbed my wrist and made me stop.

"Edward, stop okay. I don't what to hear how it was a mistake or whatever. Don't worry, I won't tell your precious little secret. Sorry I mean secrets." I snapped.

"Bella, will you please listen to me?" he begged.

"No. now let me go." I cried angrily.

"No. Bella, please." He begged. I didn't want to hear his words. It would be nothing but more crap to keep him out of trouble.

I couldn't stand the thought of him being with her. I wouldn't even be so upset if he cheated with someone his own age. I would understand that. But Lauren? Seriously?

It took so much for me to get him and she got in a matter of days. Was he that fucking easy like every other male in this damn school?

"I don't want to hear it." I tried to pull away again, but he held me tightly. I forgot how fucking strong he was. Okay, well I remember something that will make him let me go.

I brought my wrist up to my mouth and bit his hand as hard as possible. I removed my teeth when he yelled in pain. When he finally let me go, I saw that his hand was red and might start to bleed. Good. I wanted him to feel pain.

"I can't believe you and Lauren Mallory! You couldn't even cheat with someone your own age?" I cried before I started to walk away again. But again he stopped me. But not with movements, with words.

"She kissed me." He called after me.

I froze and turned to him. "What?" I saw that he was gripping his hand.

"She kissed me." He repeated more slowly this time.

I wiped my eyes before folding my arms again. "Why should I believe you?" I said, still not sure if I did. He started walking towards me. "Please stay there." I said. "You don't need to be near me to answer the question."

He sighed. "Bella, look at me. Have I ever lied to you?" he asked. I shrugged. You're not supposed to know when people lie to you. That's why they're called lies. He shook his head. "I haven't, about anything. You should know that I would never ever tell you anything less than the truth." He said as he slowly walked to me.

"So she kissed you?" I asked to be sure.

He nodded. "I was working and she came in saying that she needed help again. Before I could ask what, she walked over to me and sat on my lap and kissed me." He explained.

"But you didn't pull away." I pointed out, knowing why I didn't believe him.

"I tried but she wouldn't let go. As soon as she sat down, I tried to stop her." He continued to explain. I still wasn't sure. "Please, you have to believe me." He begged.

"So, you didn't respond. You didn't cheat?" I questioned one more time.

He shook his head as he continued to walk to me. He was right in from of me at this point. "I wouldn't even dream of it." He tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. "I love you." He said softly.

"Really?" I said with my face indifference.

"Don't ever question my feeling. I do love you." He said strongly.

I decided to believe him. He did. I saw it in his eyes and voice and movements and everything about him. He meant everything he was saying. "I love you too."

He gave a small smile. "So…"

"We're not breaking up." I said with a smaller smile. He hugged me tightly.

Then he pulled back. "Oh, before I forget." He reached in his pocket and pulled out my broken necklace. I held out my hand. "You might need to get it fixed." He chuckled as he it dropped in my open palm. "Please don't take this off again." He looked at me with a serious face.

"I'll keep it on as long as I have a reason to wear it." I told him. He smiled and leaned in but I leaned away. I shook my head at him. "I don't care if she tripped, fell, and landed on your lips. You need to wash your mouth out with soap before they could touch me again." I told him.

He smiled. "I understand. See you tomorrow?"

"In school, yes. After, I'm not sure yet." I told him before turning away from him and walking out of the school to my car.

On Wednesday, I just wanted to be alone. I didn't tell Alice what happen because I knew how she would take it; the same way I did.

In class, it wasn't hard to keep my eyes off of him. I never thought I would even think to say this, but I didn't want to look at him, especially not with her behind me.

I did believe him when he said what he did, but I just could shake the thought of him and her together. The damn image was tattooed on my brain. No matter how much I shook, blink, rubbed, anything, I couldn't get it out.

Last night. I had a dream that they didn't pull away, even with them aware of me standing there. In fact the kiss got deeper. I woke up screaming and my face covered in sweat and tears.

When my mom came in and asked me what was wrong, I gripped her shirt and cried into it. I told her I had a dream that was all too real. I can't remember the last time I cried to my mom like that.

In History, he sent me a text asking how I was doing and if I was okay. I didn't reply to him. I felt I needed one little day away from him. Maybe if I spent the day to myself, the better chance I have of getting over this.

But he wouldn't let that happen. Through out the day, he sent me two to three texts in each class. After the second one in my third period class, I just started ignoring my phone and stop pulling it out of my pocket.

When lunch came, he went from texting to calling. The first time my phone rang, I made the mistake of looking at it. I thought it would be my mom calling or something, but I was wrong.

Once I saw his name, I didn't think twice about rejecting the call. After I rejected it, I turned my phone all the way off.

I looked up and saw Alice giving me a weird look. "What?" I asked as I picked at my pizza.

"Why did you turn off your phone?" she asked as she took a bite of her salad.

I shrugged. "It's just Edward. He's been texting me all day. Then he just called. I kind of don't feel like talking to him today."

"Why, did he do something?" she asked.

I really didn't want to tell her. It was nothing to stress over. I just didn't feel like having him watch over me like a baby bird or something. He kissed another girl. Even if it was by accident, I wasn't going to get over it that quickly just because he said it was.

I shook my head. "No." I looked up at her again. "I just don't feel like talking to anyone; hint double hint."

"Want to be left alone. Right, got it." She said then we spent the rest of the lunch period in silence.

After school, Alice and I finished up the poster. I liked the finished result. It almost took my mind off the last time I stayed after to work on this stupid thing.

"I think this it 'A' worthy." She smiled as she put it over with the other unfinished posters.

"I guess." I said blandly.

She turned to me. "Still pouty?" she asked.

I shrugged. "I guess you can say that. Are we done?" I asked.

She smiled. "Yes. You can go see him now." she joked. I snorted. I didn't want to see him today. My 'Edward free day' wasn't over yet. I just wanted to go home. Her smile dropped. "Are you two fighting?"

I shrugged. It was more of a one sided fight, even a fight at all. "More or less."

She walked over to me. "Want to talk about it?" she asked.

I shook my head. "I just want to go home." I grabbed my things and walked out.

It's been about week since our little incident happened. I thought it would just be one day away from him but every day I founded myself enjoying each day I was away.

The thought of his lip on hers just wouldn't get out of my head. I couldn't dare put my lips to his again until it was gone. I hope it would happen soon.

One day when class was over, I got up and walked right out.

"Good bye Bella." I heard a voice behind me.

I turned and saw he was giving me a hopeful smile. I could tell he really wanted me to talk to him because I haven't been.

When he texts, I ignore but then he texts again. When he calls, I reject them then put my phone on silent. By the time I look at my phone again, it would say five text messages, 7 missed calls and about 10 voicemails. Some from Alice but most from him. I sighed hard each time I looked at the damn screen.

At one point, I tempted to sent him a message that read and I quote: "Edward, I don't feel like talking to you; let me the hell alone." In all caps. But then I thought that would be mean.

I looked at him with a small smile. "Bye Mr. Masen." I said. I could've easily called him Edward since it was just me, him and Alice in the room, but I didn't. and I saw it in his face when I didn't, but I ignored it and turned to go to my next class.

"Bella, are you two okay?" Alice asked as we walked into History. I sighed hard. "Is that a no? do I have to expect a moping Bella and an angry Mr. Masen?" she said in a low tone.

I chuckled. "No. it's more me than him." I told her.

"Did he do something?" she asked.

I sighed again. "Kind of. But it was a mistake." I told her. I still haven't told her about Lauren yet. In fact these past few days, I've been keeping top myself. I even turned down a bike ride with Jacob yesterday.

"Want to talk about it?" she asked. I did. I wanted anything to get the mental picture of her on his lap. I started to think if I would ever do that again. I know he like me sitting on his lap, but could I do it when she did it too?

I wanted to talk about, but I would damned if I did it here. I shook my head. "Not here. Later."

"Miss Swan, Miss Brandon." We heard our teacher said. we both rolled our eyes and looked at him. "Since you two are having so much fun talking, why don't you start the presentations.

"Whatever." I grumbled as we got up and grabbed our poster. Man, teachers are getting on my nerves.

XXX

"Did he pull away?" she asked later that night when we were on the phone. I decided to finally tell her.

She was my best friend so I knew she would get how I was feeling and why wanted to stay away from him for a while. Plus that would stop her from walking on egg shells around me and carefully choosing her words as if they held a priceless glass China doll or something.

I was depressed, not crazy. At least I think I'm not.

I sighed hard as I laid on my bed. "I don't know if he was going to, but when I made my appearance known, she did."

"Well, where were his hands?" she asked.

I thought about it. I didn't really pay attention to that. all I saw that they lips were together and I wanted to punch a damn hole through the mother fucking chalkboard. Their hands weren't important. Well, hers were since they were all over him. I got angry at the thought. I screamed loudly through my teeth as I sat up to throw my pillow at the opposite wall.

"Bella, are you okay?" I heard her voice in my ear again. Then I remembered that I was still on the phone with Alice.

I cleared my throat. "Yeah, I'm fine. just thinking about that slut with her hands on him." I felt myself getting angry again. This time, she calmed me down.

"Relax, Bella. it's just me." she reminded me.

"Right." I sighed hard. I laid back down. "I don't know where his hands were. Why does it even matter?" I asked.

"Because if they weren't on her, then what he said was true." She said. I told her what he said about her attacking him. I still don't know how much I believed it. I feel I just wanted to believe that he would never do that. but then again, he is a guy.

"And if they were?" I asked her. There was silence. That made me sigh. "Right." I said, knowing exactly the answer to it. It was the one I was afraid of. "Alice, I'm getting sleepy. See you tomorrow?" I said.

"Sure, Bells. I know he didn't do it and that you just need time. Try to have good dreams tonight." She said. I said good night before hanging up.

Before I changed into my pajamas, but phone buzzed against the bed. I rolled my eyes at the name. Edward.

I flipped it open and was happy to find that it was just a text.

Feeling better. Please talk to me. I need to know you're okay. it read.

I exited out of the text and back to the main screen. I turned off the phone and put it on my nightstand.

Have good dreams. Easier said than done.

XXX

That night I had another dream. In this one, I wasn't there. Well, not like in human form, I mean.

I was like a fly on the wall or something. I did know what I was, but I knew I wasn't being noticed.

Edward was in his chair with some girl on his lap and they were making out like they haven't seen each other in years or in me was pray and hoping it was me. but when the girl pulled back I could tell it wasn't.

"I love you." She said to him as she pushed his hair back.

He smiled "I love you too."

I looked and saw his hands were roaming all over her body.

Lauren.

I woke up screaming.

It was another day I went without talking to him. I barely spoke a word to him when he was in teacher mode. Which was easy because when he was I wasn't talking to him, he called on me less.

Outside of class, I kept my eyes off him and pertained as if he wasn't there as I continued to talk with my friends.

During one of our passing periods, I was at my locker getting books for my next class. Jacob and Alice was with me. Jake was talking about some new addition he wanted to put on his bike. Alice kept pertaining to doze off. I laughed every time she would fake wake up and asked what she missed. I knew I wasn't helping when I said nothing.

"Don't be late for class you three." I knew that voice which was why I didn't turn around as I got my notebooks.

"Okay, Mr. Masen." Alice chuckled.

"Right, Mr. M." Jacob said.

"Bella." I heard him said.

"Mmm, I heard you." I said as I acted like I was looking for something. I heard him sigh hard then walk away. I shook my head as I closed the door. I looked at Jacob. He was looked back and forth between me and Edward walking away. "What?" I asked.

"What's wrong?" he asked with a serious face.

"Nothing." I said as I started to walk with him to his class since his and Alice's and mine were in the same direction.

"Bella, come on. This is me you're talking to and I know that is a bold face lie." He said.

"And how do you know that?" I asked.

"Because usually, we have to damn near pin you to the lockers to keep from jumping on him." he teased. "And now, these past couple a days, you act like he's a teacher." He said.

I gave a small smile. "He is a teacher." I remind him.

"You know that's not what I meant." He put his arm around my shoulders and hugged me to his side. "Come on, tell Jakie what's wrong. Trouble in paradise; secret make out section getting to risky; is his pencil not solving the right equations?" he said with a teasing smile for the end. I knew what he meant.

I pushed him away. "Shut up, Jacob." Alice snapped. She pulled me away from him and started to walk faster to our class.

I had to stay after school because I had to go to the library to get a book for a book report in English.

Too bad I had to walk by his room to get to my locker so I can get my things. I didn't want him to stop me, but a small part of me was hoping he would.

I didn't get the chance to find out because as I walked by his room, I heard voices. I stopped and pressed myself against the wall so I could hear without being seen.

"…I want to kiss you so I know you want to kiss me." I heard Lauren say. I felt a growl in my chest that was begging to come out.

"No, I don't. I really don't think this is appropriate." I heard Edward say. Then I heard heels. She must be walking towards him.

"Come on. I won't tell." When I heard that, I peeked around the corner into the room. I saw her wrapping her arms around his neck. She look like she was trying to kiss him again. It took every single fiber of my being to keep myself from going in there and pulling her off.

I didn't have to. He pulled her off himself. "Lauren, please stop."

"What's with the gentleman act all of a sudden?" she sounded like she was angry. Was she that use to not being rejected?

"It's not all of sudden." He tried to explain. I heard him breath hard. I could tell he was having a hard time keeping the nice thing going. "The reason I'm saying this is because I have a girlfriend."

"Since when?" she sounded skeptical.

"Since October." He replied.

"Really, who is it?"

I saw him shake his head. "It doesn't matter because you don't know her." He cleverly lied.

And that was all I needed. I smiled and walked away from the door.

XXX

I was laying on my bed when my phone rang. I didn't turn it on until I got for I had it off all day today.

I looked at my phone and smiled. "Hi Edward." I smiled when I answered.

I was done not talking to him. now I knew he was mine. And that Laruen was the one getting rejected not me. and that made me happy.

I heard him sigh in relive. He must be happy that I finally answered him. "Thank you for answering. It seem like you were ignoring for days now." I was, but I didn't tell him.

"Sorry. I just needed sometime to think."

"Are you okay now?"

I nodded then remembered he couldn't see me. "I heard what you said to Lauren." I said, paying no attention to his question.

"Bella whatever you heard is not true. I was just telling her…"

I stopped him by laughing. "No. I mean I heard what you said…about us. Which brings me to why I was waiting for you to call." There was a pause. "You know that thing we hadn't had the chance to do? How are things looking for tomorrow?" I said with a smile that I couldn't help.

"For you, I'm always free."

"Okay. Well I can't wait." I giggled. I stop when I heard my mom call me. She wanted me to do something, probably wash the dishes. "Edward, I'm sorry. I gotta go." I sighed. "I'll call when I'm done" I promised. He said okay before I hung up.

On Thursday, I was back to being loved sick. I was so in to him, it was ridiculous. Overhearing a few words and I was acting as if nothing happen. Because nothing did. He was mine and mine alone.

I was doing my Physics homework when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Lauren. What did she want now? I resisted the urge to roll my eyes.

"Yes." I said. I was getting tired of her.

"Can I ask you something?" she said.

I knew she would no what matter how I answered. So I humored her. "Sure."

"What do you think of Mr. Masen?" she asked. This time I couldn't help it. I rolled my eyes.

"Are we really going to talk about this again?" I said in annoyance.

"No. I mean you know what you walked in on the other day?" what, you attacking my boyfriend, yes. Honestly, it taking all I have not to claw her fucking eyes out.

I nodded. "Don't worry, I won't say anything if you started to date him." I told her with a wink.

"Well that's what I wanted to talk to you about. I went to talk to him about it and he said he was dating someone."

I stopped myself from smiling. "Maybe you should back off then." I said.

"That's the thing. Do you know who this mystical woman is? I mean I never seen pictures or anything. Have you?"

I shrugged "Maybe he wants to keep a low profile. You know, keep his private life private."

"Or maybe because it's someone in the school."

I turned my body more to her. What the hell did she mean by that? I was afraid of her answer. But I just had to ask; because I'm stupid like that.

"What do you mean?"

"Bella, why did you look so upset when you saw me and him together like that?" she asked another question before answering mine.

The question kind of caught me off guard. How was I supposed to answer that? "Because he's my favorite teacher and I didn't feel comfortable with seeing him like that." I lied as if it was a matter of fact.

"Really?" she lifted an eyebrow. I just nodded. Until she said something else. "Then why –"

I cut her off. "Why are you talking to me about this? Don't you have other friends to talk to?"

For some reason she smiled. "Just thought you'll be as interested as I was; with your crush on him and all."

"Well, I'm not. I don't like him like that anymore." I rushed out, maybe a little too quickly. "Now can we stop talking about this before we both get in trouble?" I said. I turned away, cutting off the conversation before she could say something.

Why would she bring up me having a crush on him? She's been acting weird lately. First the "being nice" act, then her being all over him more than before. Now she wants me to care if he was dating someone or not. Why was she doing all this.? What was the reason?

When did all this start happening? The Monday after our first time, which was also when … oh no. It can't be what I'm thinking. It has to be something else. But what else would it be?

Then I thought about it and I was still. "Oh, my gosh." I gasped out loud. No, no. it can't be, no.

"Bella." I heard someone call. I shook my head so I could come back to the world around me. I looked around to see in was still in my first period class and it was empty. How long was I in that daze?

I looked towards where the voice was coming form and saw Edward squatting next to my desk "Are you okay?" he said in a soft voice. I wanted fall into his arms. I wanted them wrapped around me, pulling me to his body while I cried on his shoulder. But I couldn't. We were still in school so I couldn't.

"Bella, are you okay?" he repeated more slowly, as if I didn't understand him the first time.

I looked away from him. If I kept looking at him, I would surely break into tears. I nodded as I quickly gathered my things. "Are you sure? You know you can talk to me." he said.

"I'm fine." I lied as I stood up. "I have to go." I said as I walked pass him.

As I walked pass Alice – who was standing by the door – I grabbed her wrist and started pulling her to our next class.

"Whoa, Bella. Slow down, would ya?" she complained.

"Alice we have to get to class." I said as I continued to pull her.

"History can wait." She yanked her wrist out of my grip. I turned to her. "You've been weird for two days and I'm not taking it anymore. What's wrong?" she demanded.

"Nothing." I cried.

"You know I don't believe that." she said.

"You should. God, why does everyone keep asking me that same damn question?"

"Because you're crying." She stepped over to me. "What happened? Did he do something to hurt you?" she asked. I knew exactly who she was talking about. I didn't say anything. I just looked away. She must've taken that as an answer. "That son of a bitch. I'm going to kill him." she said angrily through her teeth.

I looked up to see she was about to walk back to his class. I grabbed her wrist again before she got too far."No, Alice. He didn't do anything." I told her when she turned to me.

"Then why-"

I cut her off by shaking my head. "I'll tell you when I know for sure. Can we just go to class now, please?"

"Fine." she said, still on edge. She hooked her arm with mine and we walked to class.

After lunch I remembered what Edward and I talked about last night. I'm not sure if I was up to anymore. I felt depressed all day.

But once the last bell rang, I had to make the choice. I knew what it was as I got my things from my locker.

I went to the janitor's closet. But the only reason I did go because I had to tell him something.

I knocked on the door and he pulled me in. he closed the door behind me and backed me against it. He put his lips to mine but I didn't react. I just wasn't in to it.

He went to my neck as one of his hands went under my shirt. "Edward." I said as I gripped his wrist to stop him. Then both of his hands went to my belt. "Edward, stop trying to undress me please."

"You want to it? Fine by me, as long as they come off." He said against my neck as he pulled me to him.

"No." I put my arm between us and pushed him off. "I mean, I'm not up for it anymore." I told him.

He got the hint and backed away from me. "What's wrong? You seemed all for this last night."

"I know. It's just…" I stopped. I placed my hand on my face and ran it upward then through my hair in a stressful motion. I sighed hard and dropped my hand. I looked at him. "I think we should talk."

His face dropped. "Oh no. the words no man wants to hear."

I folded my arms then looked away from him. Looking into his eyes would just make this harder than it needs to be.

"We need to break up." I said softly, but I knew he heard anyways. He's good like that.

"Why?"

"Because of Lauren." I told him

"Is it because of what happened?" he asked. I knew what he meant. Should I lied and say yes? It would be it easier. I can't do that to him. He deserves a clean break.

I shook my head. "No. I'm over that."

"Then why?" he asked.

I looked at him and saw his eyes. I can't do this. But I needed to. I loved him too much for him to lose his job over me.

I closed my eyes to keep from looking into his. I exhaled deeply through my mouth. "Because, I think she knows."

"What?"

I slowly opened my eyes. "I think she-"

"You don't have to repeat it." He said as he looked away. He leaned against something. He looked at me. "Are you sure?" I nodded. "How you know?"

I shrugged. "I just have a feeling." To be honest, I didn't know how I knew. It was just it would seem like she would notice the way we act around. Dodging question and breathing hard when she walked in on us every day that week. I know she's not smart but she wasn't mental challenge. Sooner or later she would put something together.

If not now, soon.

"But that's not the point. The point is…" I stopped to let a few tears come out. "The point is she knows and we have to stop." I cried softly. I sniffed to push some of the tears back. I didn't want him to see me like this. "I have to go."

"Bella, stop." He said as he grabbed my wrist.

"No. You were right. This was a bad idea." I tried to but he held on. You would think after last time, I would learn my lesson. I didn't want to do this again. "Edward, please let me go." Why was it so hard to let me go?

Yes, I would cry later, but I can let go. I have to pry me off of him, but I can let go. This shouldn't be so hard for him. It's not like he wouldn't land on his feet.

"Edward let me go." I yelled in anger. Maybe leaving angry would be easier. But then as I think about it, nothing in hell or on earth would make this crap any easier. This was the hardest thing I had to do.

"No." he yelled back.

"Edward. You said if anyone found out we have to stop. Well she did so now we have to –" I wasn't able to get the last words out because he stopped me by crushing his lips to mine. This time I responded.

He pulled back. "I know what I said."

"Then." I started. He stopped me again.

"Isabella, just stop and listen to me." he said sternly. I looked at him with wide eyes. Not only did his tone stop me but what he called me. He said Isabella. He has never called me that. Even in class or when he met my mother, he never referred to me as Isabella, because he knows how I feel about that name. "I'm sorry. But I need you to listen to me."

I looked at him. "Bella. I know what I said." He repeated. "But that was before so much happened to us. We came in to this by accident and I won't let it end like this." He said to me. For some reason, I couldn't look at him.

I leaned against the door and slid down until I was sitting on the cold floor. I looked down at my hands.

"Bella look at me." I heard him said. I didn't listen to him. Those eyes were just making this hard. He put his finger under my chin and lifted my head to his. When I looked up, I saw that he was at eye level. "I knew things would be bad, that's why I didn't want to start this. But I'm glad we did. So, believe me when I say this, as long as I could make this work, I will do everything in my power to do so."

I felt tears roll down my face at his words. But of course I had to ruin it by saying one little word. "Why?"

He looked at me as if I was crazy. "Bella, don't asked that. You know why."

"Edward I need to hear it." I cried softly. "So please, just say it." I begged as I let the tears to continue to roll down.

He gave a small smile. He dropped from his squat to stand on his knees. He took my hands in his and kissed both of them. "I will make this work because I love you."

I stood on my knees so I could be at eye level with him again. "Say it again."

He wiped away my tears then kissed my left cheek then my forehead then my right cheek. "I love you." He said more slowly.

I locked my arms around his neck. "I love you, too." I cried into his shoulder. I felt him reposition us in a sitting position.

I rested my head on his shoulder but let the tears go on. He kissed the side of my head. "Please stop making me think you're leaving me." he said softly in my ear.

I just nodded against his shoulder. He kissed the side of my head again. His lip stayed there longer than last time.

My week was rough. There was too much going on. How the hell can a few weeks be filled with so much drama?

So I decided that Friday would be a free day. I stayed home from school. I told my mom that I need the day off to clear my mind. She didn't ask me go into details, for which I was thankful for.

My mom told me that she would be out all day because she was working with some couple that wanted to redo a room they just added.

I don't know if I got that right. For some reason, she thought it would be good idea to tell me that while I was sleeping.

Even though today was relaxation day, I didn't want to spend it all in bed sleeping. Unless someone was here with me. But the only one I wanted with me was at work. I wanted to get some work done.

But first, I wanted something to eat. I didn't bother with my morning route because I wasn't going anywhere. So I went straight to the kitchen.

When I got there, the door bell rang. Who the hell was that? I already told Alice I was staying at home today. I sighed hard as I grabbed an apple out of the refrigerator. It rang again. "I'm coming." I called. Who ever this was at the door was bugging me. I jogged to the door.

Who was behind it made me freeze and drop my apple from my hand. He smiled at me.
