Previously- "Claire, I can explain!"

The dirty cheating liar I thought as he lifted himself off the strawberry blond. His shirt was off, and hers was showing her stomach. She was very pretty, and looked familiar. That's when I recognized her. Kelsey June, the fake popular from school, that everyone liked. But Stephen, he was supposed to be different. I guess not. He grabbed his shirt and catiously walked towards me.

"Claire, this is all a MAJOR misunderstanding." he informed me with a dissapointing look on his face, since he got caught.

"What's to misunderstand, I catch my boyfriend of almost 5 years, making out on the couch, that I slept on less than 4 hours ago , with another girl!" I screamed.

"Wait, your boyfriend?" Kelsey spoke up.

"Yes, my boyfriend. I know your popular and everything, but We've been going out 5 years. How could you not know, he was taken?"

"Well, when I was at the store, he told me ya'll broke up." she whispered.

"You told her what??" I turned to glare at Stephen.

"Claire, I can't have much with you, yesterday was the first time I've ever seen you after the sun went down, without your little protector Quil in the room. My hormones took over at the store, and I told Kelsey we were over. She came over and things got out of hand." he walked slowly toward me. "It was a mistake. Please, please forgive me, and I'll never do it again."

"NO!!" I shouted infuriated, that he thought he could do this, and still get me. "You lost your chance. You can have Kelsey, if you want her." As I said that Kelsey looked at him with a hopeful smile playing on her lips. That's when the tears came back. No one could love me. I thought. I knew I was worthless all along. I turned around and slammed the door in his face and ran to the car the tears slipping down my face.

As I drove off, I realized I had nowhere to go, not home, not anywhere. Except Quil's if I was still accepted there. I pulled into his driveway and walked up to the front door. As I was about to run away, to chicken to actually knock, Quil opened the door.

"Claire what's wrong?"

"Ummm..." I was struggling to keep the tears at bay long enough to talk, "well, Stephen and I had a small.. Ummmm..."

"Spit it out!" he interrupted.

"He cheated on me with Kelsey.." The tears came faster and I found my knees weren't going to support me much longer. I started to fall but felt the familiar warmth of Quil's arm wrap around my quivering body and pick me up cradling me to his chest. He carried me inside and sat me on his shabby old couch. I cried until there were no more tears in my eyes, still tucked protectively in Quil's comforting arms. I looked up into his dark colored eyes, and saw pain.

"Quil, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here." I strugg;ed to sit up.

"No, it's perfectly fine. I'm just having trouble keeping myself from going to rip his head off.."

"It's OK Quil, he can go die for all I care. I have you now." I looked up again and saw that the pain was replaced by pure joy. He held my gaze and cautiously leaned his head towards mine. Am I ready for this? His lips were an inch from mine slowly getting closer when I couldn't take it any longer. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled us as close as possible. When our lips met it was like an electric shock. I was enjoying this. Apparently so was he because I was the first to pull back from his lips. We just sat there with goofy grins on our faces holding each other as close as we could.
