As Andy sat down at a desk, Declan stood next to the door looking out the window into the hallway. Then he turned around and slowly walked over to a desk. As he lowered himself to sit in a chair he began to say "So you're Andy. The one with…or…well not anymore."
"You mean cancer, yep that's me. And you're D-"
"Declan," he filled in when he could tell she didn't know his name.
"Yeah, I knew that." Then they just sat there in silence, with neither on saying a word. This moment of silence lasted for five minutes, till finally Declan began to say something.
"So you and Josh are still together, huh? Well don't take him for granted, and enjoy it while you can." He said in a sort of annoyed voice.
"Yah thanks I guess. What about you, I thought you and Lori-"
"Don't even talk about Lori. She's too busy with that dumbo Mark."
"Who's Mark?"
"Lori's stupid DJ boyfriend. He's a year and a half older than her, and they have nothing in common."
"I can tell you really think he's wrong for her."
"Ha! Yeah," Declan chuckled.
"Well then tell her."
"Trust me, I have, she wont even talk to me now."
"I'm sorry, maybe I should have never brought this up," Andy said sympathetically. She felt kind of bad for bringing it up because now Declan looked even sadder than before.
"Well, it's not your fault."
"Well take it from someone who spent every second thinking she could die any day, if you find someone you love, or just really care about, don't let them slide."
"All that from dating Josh? Never thought he'd teach anyone anything."
"Look, I know if Josh and I were to break up, and he started dating some s.lut, I would tell him." All Andy could think about the whole time while talking to Declan, is how glad she was that she didn't lose Josh. She felt bad that while she was happy, Declan had to suffer, but the only thing she could do was give advice. Unless she and Josh came up with a mastermind plan to break up Lori and Mark, and get Lori and Declan together, that's the only thing she could do.
"But this is different," he began with a sigh, "I've told her before and she didn't listen, and she'll continue to not listen."
"You really care about her, don't you?" Andy asked, realizing how much Declan really didn't want Lori to get hurt.
"No," Declan said. Then with a spark of realization of his own, he finally admitted it. "I love her."
Lori and Kyle walked into the room and over to a desk. As Kyle kept walking, he could tell her heart was beating fast.
"Why are you so nervous Lori?" Kyle asked concerned.
"I'm not nervous Kyle." Lori replied. But that didn't stop Kyle; he knew something was wrong.
"Your heart is beating faster and faster by the second," Kyle explained.
"This is one of those times I really hate you're 'Superman' powers." But Kyle said nothing; he just sat there waiting for an answer. "Look I'm not nervous, it's just that Declan is here, and I really don't want to deal with him, let alone talk to him."
"But why? I thought you two were friends since prom," Kyle said confused, to how they got to the point of not talking to each other.
"Since prom Declan told me he wanted to be with me, I turned him down, Mark asked me out, I said yes, Declan lashed out at me about Mark, and now I have nothing to say to Declan. That's what happened since prom."
"That's a lot."
"Welcome to high school Kyle."
"Why don't you guys just talk? That usually works."
"Because we're not you and Amanda."
"Well do you want to be in a fight with Declan?"
"I don't know. Well actually yes, he's being a complete a.ss to Mark, and making up lies about him."
"Lori, shouldn't you think about who you've been friends with longer?" Then Kyle just sat there and looked at Lori, waiting for her to think about it.
"Declan," she replied. She said Declan even though she wished she could say Mark.
"And who do you trust more?"
"That's the thing, on one hand I have my best friend, but also my ex-boyfriend, and on the other hand is my boyfriend."
"If you don't want to believe Declan, that's up to you. But he's my friend too, and I know he really cares about you," Kyle said. Lori just sat there with Kyle, trying to figure things out. Kyle knew it was Lori's decision, so he didn't say anything. Lori knew she had a lot of thinking to do, and the only way to get it done is by not pushing it aside. So she didn't try and change the subject, even though she wanted to.
A/N: I know its kinda short, but I think Part 3 will be longer. Thanks to my wonderful beta.
