I had just heard the doorbell ring right after I had put the chicken pot pie in the oven.

I knew that it was Nico and Grady, so I hurried and opened the door.

"Hey guys!" I said happily. Nico and Grady both looked the same, just older.

Grady was wearing khaki pants and a red t-shirt. Nico was wearing a vest, over his green t-shirt.

"Hey Sonny!" they said at the same time.

"Sorry we couldn't come earlier." Grady said.

"It fine." I opened the door wider. "Come inside!"

Just then Tawnie (carrying Autumn) and Chad (who had came earlier).

"Hey Tawn." Nico called out. As he and Grady walked inside.

"Well…if it isn't Chip drama pants." Nico said, moving over so he stood right in front of Chad.

"Hey!" Grady said, smiling a goofy smile. "Can I be called Greg cheese pants!"

We all stared at him.

"You know… cause I have cheese in my pants… and Greg and Grady both start with g r.." He said, glancing around at each bewildered face.

"What made you say that?" Nico asked.

"We've been calling him that for years… and I just kind wanted my own nickname..." Grady said looking at his shoes. Then he looked up. "Hey! You can be called Ned Fro yo pants!"

"Do I look like I have fro yos in my pants!?" Nico asked, annoyed.

"Are my pants filled with drama!?" Chad shouted.

"Okay guys." I interrupted. "This has turned into a very strange conversation." As soon as I finished. A tall brunette jumped out from behind our couch, causing the guys to scream like little girls.

"Guys!" Tawnie yelled, holding a squirming Autumn. "You're gonna make her cry!"

"Yeah!" I spoke up. "It's just Zora!"

I walked over to Zora. She was wearing a red plaid skirt, that came down to her knees. She had a yellow shirt with a red apple on the front and she'd used a ribbon (that matched her skirt) to pull her hair back into a high ponytail.

"High Zora!" I smiled. 'I didn't know you were coming!"

"Yeah. I wanted to see your baby too… it's just that my vents system fell down in a storm. Had to fix t before I could go anywhere!"

"Well… ummm…." I mumbled. "How about we go sit down?"

It was a fun day.

They all said that Autumn was adorable (with which I agree) and that she had Chads, eyes, hair and mouth (which I enviously agree with) but that she had my nose.

Nico said I still could make amazing chicken pot pie.

And Grady said we should do it again soon.

And… that was it. No really big drama… just like old times…

It was all so confusing. Everyone got along so well with Chad. I got along with him well, most of the time.

Wasn't I supposed to be angry at him or something?

I had been sitting in the living room. It was about eight o'clock at night and everyone had gone home.

Tawnie was putting Autumn in bed, she'd fallen asleep on her earlier, but Tawnie still was carrying her around.

Chad was still in the kitchen, I thought he was getting ready to go. But I heard a loud crash, proving otherwise.

"Chad!" I called out weakly. I got up and walked through the double doors, into the kitchen.

He'd dropped one of the dirty dishes, and it broke.

"Chad!" I whined.

"Sorry! I was just trying to help!"

"Well stop helping!" I snapped. "Every time you help something gets broken or spilled!" I yelled, angrily. "Why are you trying to help so much anyway!" I asked viciously, but I didn't care.

"I am just trying!" Chad said just as maliciously.

"Trying to do what!" I interrupted him. I could her Autumn crying in the back room, but I wasn't ready to back down.

"Trying to prove-"

"Prove what that? That your going to stick around!?"

"Yes!"

"Why?! So that when something that you don't like happens you can throw one of your diva fits and then when you leave you think we'll all be sad again?"

"No!" he threw his hands up defensively.

"Just leave okay? Do you know what it's like for me to look at you?" I asked a bit calmer, tears stinging in the back of my eyes.

"What?" he asked, honestly confused.

"You think I like seeing you and remembering how nice it was. How wonderful? You think I like thinking about the way it could have been." I said as the tears tried to push themselves out of my eyes.

"Do you think it is easy for me!?" he shouted. "To see what I gave up! Because of stupid misunderstanding? Do you know how bad it hurt when I though that those pictures where real?!" Hey looked down and spoke quieter, but I stood still here him. "You think it's easy to see that you let the person you love stop loving you?"

That made me calm down. Like a rush of cool air calming my raging fire of anger.

"Are…" I started almost whispering. "Are… you saying you've fallen in love with me, again?" I bit my lip.

"I'm saying!" he said loudly. Then he took a step forward. Now he was really close to me. Our noses were only a few inches apart.

"That I never stopped." He barely smiled. Just raised the corners of his mouth and showed his beautiful, white teeth.

He leaned in even closer. I could feel his warm breath cover my face. His face tilted the slightest bit. He reached down a held my hands within in own.

I gazed into his eyes.

I couldn't think.

I couldn't breathe.

I was free falling into his blue orbs.

His lips were so close to my own now. I could almost taste the familiar taste his lips would have.

Everything in my body and heart was begging him to cover my lips with his own.

But my mind was screaming.

I kept thinking. "You can't kiss him! You are in control here!"

Against all my wishes, I pulled my hands away, pressed one against his chest and pushed him away.

I looked down at the ground, and slowly pulled my hand away.

I felt like dieing.

I looked up at Chad, I had barely had pushed him, but looking at his face he looked like I had shot him.

"I'm sorry!" My voice cracked. The tears finally spilled out all at once.

"If I didn't have Autumn I would've let myself fall and risk the heartache… but I have to watch out for her! I can let her get hurt like I did!" I babbled and ran out of the room.

If only.

Okay… I feel just incredibly bad for not updating in 2 WEEKS! But I do have a good excuse(s). My grandma died, we had to clean her house out and rent it to someone, I've been sick, and I have a ton of schoolwork. So yeah…. I've been busy… but Is till feel terrible .

This chapter was really fun to write though. But I hope it makes sense and is good J
