Chapter Four

I stared down at my ring. It was so beautiful. Maybe too beautiful. No, everything will be fine. It has to be, I don't know how I would survive without Jared.

"Sunny, what happened?" Wanda asked her. She had stopped crying and sat down next to Sunny, putting her arm on her lower back.

"I, I don't know. After Mel left to go see what was wrong with you and Ian, I waited at the table for Kyle. He never came so I went to look for him. He was sitting alone in our room. I went and sat down next to him on the bed, giving him a hug," Sunny stopped talking and looked up. She started to fidget with her hands while she continued, "He pushed me away and got up off the bed. All he said was he couldn't do this anymore and that he wanted to break up." Her nose was bright red from crying.

"Aw Sunny, I'm so sorry," Wanda said, patting her back. "Just give him some time to cool off."

"Then what?" She asked, her face filled with worry. "What if he doesn't want me back?"

"Sunny, guys are stupid. They say things that they don't mean. I'm sure that's just what happened with Kyle," I said as I looked down at my ring again. Please, please let Jared be different.

"I hope you are right. I love him so much," She sighed, resting her head in her hands, turning to look at Wanda. "So is everything okay with you and Ian?"

"Well...not exactly," Wanda said as she looked at the floor. "I did something terrible. I just hope he can forgive me for it."

"What did you do?" Sunny asked curiously.

"Well I-"

"I'll tell you what she did, she cheated on me with some jerk alien!" Ian yelled as he walked into the room. "I hope it was worth it! Because that will be the last guy you kiss for a long, long time."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Wanda replied angrily, standing up to face him.

"It means that I'm never letting your diseased lips touch mine again!"

"They aren't diseased! How could you say such hurtful things Ian? I know I hurt you, and I'm terribly sorry. You never gave me a change to explain my side of the story!"

"I don't care about your side of the story! You kissed someone else. End of story." He walked to the other side of the room where he picked up an old shirt and jeans.

"Ian please! I'm begging you to just talk to me for five minutes. Please," Wanda said sorrowfully.

"I'm sorry," she added as she looked down at her feet.

I got up and walked over to Sunny, "Maybe we should leave them alone so they can talk."

"No! Stay! I'm leaving. I don't want to talk to her."

"No Ian, I think you should stay and talk to your girlfriend. Can't you see that she is sorry for what she did? She feels guilty about the whole thing. Just give her a chance to tell you that," I said as I moved in front of the door, blocking his only exit.

I looked at Wanda, who gave me a small smile. I could tell she was grateful to have me around, helping her. I didn't mind, I loved helping my best friend, my sister, my soon to be maid of honor. This brought a smile to my face, and for a second I forgot about all the drama that was occurring in front of me.

"Fine," He turned back around to face Wanda. "You wanna talk? Let's hear it. I'm curious what excuse you could possibly come up with to justify you kissing some loser."

His voice was still loud and angry. I'm sure most of the people in the caves could hear what was going on. I wonder where Jared is. I want to go look for him, but I could see that Wanda didn't feel comfortable being alone with Ian just yet. I took a few steps back, leaving the room and sitting down outside the door. That way if Wanda needed me I would be right there.

(Wanda's Point Of View)

"Ian, I don't have an excuse. I know what I did was wrong, and I hope one day you can forgive me. I don't know what came over me," Wanda looked up, searching his eyes to see what he was feeling.

Anger. Disappointment. Fury.

But most of all I could see that he was....heartbroken.

"Ian..." I reached out slowly, trying to caress his cheek.

He pushed my hand away. "No. Don't. I...I don't even know what to say anymore Wanderer."

Oh no, he used my full name. That can't be good. He looked even more mad than before, if that was even possible.

"I trusted you! Then you go and do this. I mean really, what was going through your mind? Was he more attractive than me?"

"No Ian! It's not like that, not at all!" I could not believe he was thinking this.

"Then why?" He put his hands in his pockets. "Is it because you want someone that is...like you? Am I not good enough anymore?" A tear made its way out of his right eye and down his cheek. His voice was quieter, but it still had the same anger in it.

Did he really think I would do that to him? Leave him for someone else? I would never do that to him!

"Ian you are perfect. I only want you, no one else. I don't care that you are human, you are mine. Always and forever. Remember?" I took a step closer, wanting desperately to hold him in my arms.

"If I'm so perfect why would you cheat on me? Seriously Wanderer, I had no idea you were like this! I don't know if I can do this anymore."

No. No, please tell me I am not hearing this! I cannot lose Ian. No, I will not lose Ian.

"But Ian, I love you. I always have and I always will. I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry," I was saying all of this from the bottom of my heart. "Please forgive me."

I really didn't know what made me kiss that strange man. Was it because he was attractive? No, no one is more attractive than Ian. Why did I do it then? Maybe I do need someone like me...

"Look Wanda, I'm sorry too. I'm sorry you felt the need to kiss another man. I can't just accept that though," He couldn't even look me in the eyes as he was talking. "It's going to take some time for me to trust you again, and until then I think we should take a break."

"No!" I shouted and I fell to the floor.

(Mel's Point Of View)

"Wanda?! Wanda are you okay?" I heard Ian yell from inside the room, with panic in his voice.

I quickly got up and ran inside. I saw Wanda laying on the floor, with Ian hovering over her.

"Go get Doc!" Ian called over his shoulder. "And hurry!"
