Well, here's round two as suggested by my reviewers! Thanks to sarasidle3 for all her help! Sorry it's a little short ^^

ANNIE'S POV.

I am such a dork! Queen of Dorksville USA! So me and Liam were getting along great, and I had to ruin it all with just one comment about Naomi… It's obvious he doesn't love her anymore, and hasn't completely forgiven her, so why can't I just give it a rest and let him have fun when he's with me?

We even kissed for God's sake.

Oh shit. We kissed!

Naomi's gonna kill me, so is everyone else and when Jasper finds out… he's going to be even more crazy. Sometimes I feel sorry for him, it's not his fault his uncle's death sent him over the edge, but then I remember he blackmailed me into dating him.

Puh-lees.

Liam is just so… good. A better person than I am, and I don't deserve his friendship, or anything else for that matter. There's been signs for weeks really, that he's liked me. I just tried to ignore it. Feelings just complicate everything, even our simple little friendship that wasn't much more than two lost souls seeking comfort in each other's arms.

Well, it sounds romantic when I say it like that… but it's not. At all. Even the fountain (which was like something out of a romantic movie, cheesy but incredibly sweet). I can't believe I just walked away.

Why'd I have to go and make it so complicated?

I longed for the uncomplicated dating life I had back in Kansas, one steady boyfriend with no other feelings attached. We had liked each other, sure, but there had been no chemistry there. No spark.

With Liam… I felt a spark. It felt awful to admit it to myself, I'd been trying to shield it from everyone else these past few weeks. Everyone knew Liam and I were getting closer, but they just presumed it was because of his boat and I wanted to learn how to sail it or something. That had been my pretence anyway.

How long was it before Naomi found out. She convinced Silver to spy on Teddy, there was probably nothing she wouldn't do. I was afraid of the lengths she'd go to, make my life hell when she found out? Possibly. Probably.

My cell beeped. My heart lept because I knew who it was going to be. The little screen read 'ONE MESSAGE RECEIVED FROM LIAM'.

It read simply;

I'M SORRY. CAN WE TLK?

I texted back (while smiling, trying not to look suspicious as I walked down the street to my house);

I'M SRRY 2. YEH. TOMORROW?

Tomorrow was Sunday, probably one of the best times to catch him and me not annoyed at our families because they were too busy lounging to argue with each other (or us).

YEH. MEET MINE, 2PM?

OK. CYA THEN L ;) x

Was it too flirty, the winky and kiss? I was totally new to the whole texting flirting! We didn't do that in Kansas. I was barely able to flirt properly in real life, let alone the digital one. I let myself into the house, flung my bag next to the entrance table and walked to my room, cell still in hand and smiling victoriously. I had been so sure I'd, We'd, messed everything up. At least now we were going to be sorted.

To be honest though… I'm a little worried about 'the talk'. It's probably going to surface things I don't want to hear.
