'I know you said you were done with me but I feel you need to know how I really feel about all this and why I do the things I do,' Alexa re-read the text from Drew three more times as she waited for him at a small diner. It was 2 a.m. and she was tired, she spent most of the evening with her dad and Randy, having dinner first and the watching movies before heading back to her room, just to be woken up by this text from Drew. She text him back saying she would hear him out and that's when he suggested meeting up.

"Sorry, I had to get dressed and stuff, thank you for meeting me," Drew said as he took at seat across from Alexa.

"I just want to get this over with, this shit going on with you and Randy is starting to stress me out," she said. Alexa looked down at her phone as he text message alert went off, 'Laying in bed, thinking about you. I can't wait until I can hold you again.' Alexa smiled before looking back up at Drew.

"This isn't how I wanted things to end up," he said, noticing the smile on Alexa's face. "That smile was supposed to come out because of me. I wanted to be the one to make you happy for the rest of your life."

"And you had a fair chance at that," Alexa said. "Drew, you were the first person I was ever truly and deeply in love with. I didn't want to have to ever consider my life without you, but then you took that deal with my dad and it felt as if you crushed my whole world, like I meant nothing to you. Then you made up for that mistake and I was beginning to think that I could get my old feelings for you back. Then I find out that you have a girlfriend, how could you tell me you're in love with me and you want to be with me when you're already in a relationship."

"I have her simply because I don't have you. If you had agreed to come back with me I would have dropped her that was my plan."

"So you use this poor girl as a fill-in because I'm not there? Yet another reason there is no chance for us."

"I don't know what I'm supposed to do, I can't stop thinking about you, I can't stop wanting you; my life is you. Answer this one question, do you care about me?"

"Yes, I do. Just not enough to be with you, and honestly Drew you don't care about me enough to be with me because you have a girlfriend. You need to let it go, if you don't fall back a little bit I guarantee you, I won't be in your life at all anymore. You need to decide if you want me if your life at all."

"I want you in my life."

"Then you have to fall back, try to be happy with Morgan, honestly happy."

"While you're happy with Randy? I guess he wins."

"This isn't about winning Drew. If you're going to look at it that way then neither one of you won, you and I are just friends and Randy has a long way to go before him and I end up together. Both of you betrayed me and lost my trust."

Drew sighed, "So I guess we'll work on friends."

"That sounds good to me," Alexa said. "Now I really need to get to bed," Alexa stood up.

"Yeah, I'll see you at the next show."

Alexa smiled politely before turning and exiting the diner.

The next day Alexa sat in the airport waiting to board the flight to the next town, which happened to be St. Louis, Randy's hometown. He had been texting her all morning asking her to stay with him rather than in a hotel room, Alexa had to keep reminding him they were taking this slow even though deep down she knew she would eventually end up at his house during the three days they were in St. Louis.

Alexa put her phone in the pocket of her hoodie and looked around for her dad, he said he was going to meet her there but she hadn't seen or heard from him all morning. Just as Alexa was about to sit back down and text her dad she saw Randy walking towards her.

"Hey, how was your night?" Randy asked as he took a seat next to Alexa.

"It was great actually, Drew and I finally came to an understanding," Alexa smiled. "He knows it's over and all we're ever going to be is friends."

Randy smiled, "Let's see how long that lasts, he's going to try something again eventually."

"Well for now I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt," she answered.

"Anyway, have you given anymore thought to staying at my house with me? You know you're going to be there hanging out with me during the next few days anyway. Why not spend the night?"

"I don't need to give it more thought because my answer is no, we're taking this slow and we both know how me spending the night with you is going to end."

"Yeah, yeah, I know you're going to end up staying with me eventually."

Alexa shook her head at Randy as their flight was called.
