Anya

Anya saw Sav as he tried to approach her. He looked good, but they had been through so much. She thought it would only fail again. When Owen lunged at her, she grabbed a hold of him. She needed Sav to know that they were done. It was kind of mean, using Owen to hurt Sav, but it was necessary. They both needed to move on. Owen took Anya home, and he spent the night.

She woke up, with him beside her, unsure of what they were. Was this a one night stand? Did he want to be with her? Did she even want to be with him? He was handsome when he slept, almost angelic. Then, he snored. Nevermind!

Anya got up and took a shower. She put on clean clothes, but last night lingered on her like cigarette smoke in drapes. She had a lot of turmoil, and she didn't really know where to turn. She was sick of Holly J and her crap. After the fake pregnancy, she couldn't really justify having her as a confidant. Anya went downstairs and sat in front of the window, waiting for some kind of sign.

Owen

Owen woke up, alone in Anya's bed. Did he really sleep with the prettiest girl in school? He moved quickly, having to go for her before Sav. He was a bit surprised when she kissed him back. He thought that she might slap him, especially after the lifeguard training incidents during the summer, but maybe she finally saw that he wasn't the terrible person everyone assumed him to be.

He needed someone to be on his side and maybe, just maybe, Anya would. He got dressed and went downstairs. She was just sitting there. She looked like she needed to be alone for a while. He didn't want to just run away from her, so he slipped back upstairs. Too bad she didn't have a tv in her room like he did. She had a laptop though. Did she have any movies? She had Not a Country for Old Men. Owen decided to watch it.

Anya

I can't hide from Owen forever. I have to talk to him before he leaves. She went upstairs and there he was, watching a movie on her laptop. She looked at the case on her desk. Good choice! "Can we talk?"

He pauses the movie and looks up at her?

"About last night. I don't know …."

"You don't know..."

"What we are?"

"What do you want us to be?"

"I don't know. I've never been a one-night stand girl, but I don't know if I'm ready to be a girlfriend again either."

"Are you still into Sav?"

"We're done, but that relationship took a lot out of me. I always felt like I wasn't good enough for his parents."

"His parents weren't good enough for you, and if he didn't stand up for you, then he wasn't either."

She smiled "I just need a little more time."

"I can wait."

She sat down next to him and he hit play.

Clare

I could just sit here and listen to Sav play forever.

"Am I boring you?" He asked her once he finished Purple Haze

"Oh No! I love hearing you sing I aways have."

"Really?"

Clare blushed She has been listening to him sing in the shower for years.

Sav got ready to sing one more song, but Clare's phone rang. "Hello!"

"It's time to come home Clare." Mama Edwards with the buzzkill.

"But I'm having fun."

"You don't want to wear out your welcome."

Clare couldn't tell her mother that Alli's parents were out of town, so she had to say she would be home soon. "Bye, Mom." Bitch!

"You have to go home."

"I don't want to." She pouted.

He laughed and pulled her onto his lap for a passionate kiss. She just started to moan into him when Alli came in

"Gross!"

They broke apart. "I was just getting ready to take Clare home."

"Seriously lock your door next time!" Alli huffed and walked away

The couple giggled. It was time to go. Sav got up and walked with Clare to the car. He kissed her one more time before they drove off. He stopped, just short of the Edwards' house, and Clare kissed him. I love you Sav.

"I love you, Clare."

She smiled and got out of the car and into the house She still had on her ring, not wanting her mother to murder her, but she and Sav (and Ali unfortunately) both knew the truth. They were lovers.

"How was the sleepover Clare?" her father asked.

I didn't sleep much, Clare thought. "It was fun, Dad."

"That's good." It's good Clare spends her time with Alli instead of boys.
