"Are you mad at me?" Addison asked Pete.
"I don't know if I'm mad or I'm just disappointed." Pete said.
"I'm so sorry Pete! I'm an idiot!"
"You're not an idiot; you just love a different person."
"When we started doing this we both said we wouldn't fall in love with each other. We made clear that you'll still love Violet and I will love Sam. What happened to that Pete?"
"I'm still in love with Violet, but I have feelings for you Addison."
"What kind of feelings?"
"I want to be next to you because you make me feel better, you make everything be easier. Plus you love Lucas and he loves you."
"He has his mother."
"That's all you get from what I've said?"
"I'm sorry Pete; I don't know what to say!" Addison said and sat next to him. "You and I were really good friends and one night we had sex and all this happened."
"You wanted it just to be sex?"
"I don't know what I wanted!"
"What did you feel when we had sex?"
"I don't know! At first it just was meaningless sex but, when I met Lucas and our relationship went onto something else, it wasn't just meaningless sex!"
"It was never meaningless sex for me!"
"What should I say next?"
"I don't know Addison! I don't know!"
"Look, I'm sorry! We made a mistake, you loved Violet and you were with me; I love Sam but I was with you; I allowed myself to love Lucas and that hurt me."
"What are we going to do now?"
"Do you love Violet?"
"I do. But it's too difficult to be with her."
"Why?"
"I don't know! That's a difficult question to answer, could you answer why can't you be with Sam?"
"Yes, because of Naomi."
"That's a terrible excuse Addison, and you know it!"
"It's not an excuse, it's the truth!"
"You're afraid of being with Sam; Naomi is just your excuse!"
"I'm not afraid!"
"I'm sorry to say, but you're! Since you arrived to LA, you NEVER had a serious relationship, and now Sam could be that serious relationship, you don't want to take that risk!"
"Aw look who's talking, the guy who's afraid to be with his son's mom!"
Suddenly Sam came in.
"Am I interrupting?" Sam asked.
"Not at all." Pete said.
"Addison there's a patient here for you." Sam said.
"Aw, okay, I'll be right there!" Addison said.
Sam left the room.
"You and I will talk later!" Addison said to Pete and then left.
*Later that night*
Addie was lying down in the beach.
"How was your patient today?" Sam asked.
"Aw, she was fine; it was just a regular check." Addison said sitting down.
"Good, I'm glad!"
"How was your day?"
"Pretty good, yours?"
"It was good, thanks."
"This is awkward…" Sam said,
"Yes, isn't it?"
"What are we going to do? We used to talk about everything, without making it awkward!"
"We can try to do that again."
"Tell me you're kidding! Addison we won't be able to do that again."
"I know, it was just an idea. What are we going to do? I don't want to lose you at all."
"Do you think I want to lose you?"
"No, I think you don't."
"Come here." Sam said and took Addie in his arms. He looked at her and then whisper in her ear. "I love you Addison, I don't want to lose you." He kissed his forehead and left her standing outside.
All she could think about was him, she couldn't stop thinking about him, and she didn't want to stop thinking about him. She knew she loved him.
