A/N: Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed, I love you all! A short chapter, but hopefully one that'll give you the WTF feeling. Enough babbling, go and read. Enjoy & review!

He had finally been able to ditch Kristen at the mall. At her insistence she had to be dropped off. Not that Ted cared. Because he didn't go shopping, he had time to go visit Evie. Over the last couple of months they had barely spoken to each other. With her planning the wedding and getting ready for the move there was no time for them. It also helped that she had been trying to avoid him like the plague since she found out about him and Kristen. Ted wasn't mad though, he knew that she was jealous. Smiling to himself, he drove in the direction of her house.

Meanwhile, Evie glanced around her nearly empty house. The bigger pieces that she wanted to keep had already been sent up to Boston. Things that she had still wanted, but didn't want in the new house were going to be put into storage or the vacation house, as they started calling it.

"I sure am going to miss this place." Evie muttered to herself, on the verge of tears.

A lot had taken place there over the years. It was there where she escaped from her family and further threw herself into wrestling. She had left so much of the past behind and started anew. Things were going great until Ted had barged into her life again. It was at that point that her feelings started to remerge. There were a few times where they had snuggled on the couch.

"Stop it, Evie." She told herself. "Ted is only your friend."

Deciding that it was best for her to ignore everything, Evie went into the kitchen to get her mind off of things. It was time for her to take a little lunch break anyway.

Ted stayed parked outside in front of her house. He had so desperately wanted to go and see her, but something was keeping him back. He knew what she has been doing on her days off and part of him didn't want to disrupt that. The part of him that loved her wanted to go in and tell her that she was making a mistake. Ted wanted to push her up against the wall and make love to her. Fucking Evie was the last thing on his mind. Showing her that he loved her was the only thing on his mind.

When he reached the door, he knocked and anxiously waited for her to answer. He was so nervous he kept shifting positions to keep calm. It was only Evie he was seeing, but even he knew there was so much more behind it. Evie had to have known also.

"Ted." She opened the door in surprise. "I wasn't expecting you to drop by."

"I was in the area and figured I'd stop by." He replied, leaning agains the door frame. "Am I interrupting anything?"

She had to smile at him. It had been a couple of weeks since they had actually really been face to face for more then twenty seconds and where they had spoken more than two words to each other, but she was coming to notice something about him. She wasn't sure if it was always there and she didn't notice it or if it was something that just recently came up, but he looked different. Something in his face made him look mature and it really attracted Evie to him.

"You can help me move stuff." Evie smiled, pulling on his arm. "To answer your question you're not interrupting anything."

Ted smirked as he allowed her to lead him into a nearly empty room. Large boxes stood in the center of the floor just waiting to be moved. He couldn't help but allow his smirk to turn into a smile. Evie had needed help with something and she hadn't turned to John. She didn't even bother to wait for her fiance.

"I can't stay long, Eves." Ted eyed the boxes. "I left Kristen at the mall."

Her blue eyes darkened at the mention of Kristen. Evie loved John and was thrilled that they would be

married and soon starting their lives together, but there was something that was making her blood boil. In her mind, Evie thought he could do so much better than Kristen. She wasn't after Ted for the sake of actually being in love with him, she was after him because to her he was only a possession.

"She's a big girl, she'll be able to find her own way home." Evie smirked. "You're her boyfriend not her cab service."

Ted didn't miss the anger in her voice and the jealously shining in her eyes. He was trying to keep from doing a fist pump and smiling with glee. Everything was working out according to plan. Smirking, he made a mental note to thank Cody for giving him the idea.

"Evie, she's my girlfriend. I can't exactly ditch her."

"I know, Teddy." She sighed, sitting on the floor. "Its just that I don't think she's good enough for you."

He sat down next to her, lacing his hands with hers. "Look at me, Eves. Everyday I miss what you and I had. If I wasn't such a douche then we could have had so much together. A beautiful life, a beautiful love." Ted smiled, pushing a strand of her behind her ear. "A beautiful child. We could have had everything. That wasn't in our plans. I love you, Evie. I always will. You've moved on and you're absolutely radiant. As much as it pains me, I've got to move on too."

Evie looked away from him and allowed her eyes to focus on one of the boxes sitting before them. Everything he had said was true, but part of her wanted him to stay as he was. Part of her wanted things to go back to the way they were. She knew that it wouldn't happen.

"I know, but with Kristen?" Evie whined.

He blew out a breath and placed his finger under her chin, turning her face so that she was looking at him. "You sound exactly like my brothers. Kristen can be difficult, I'll admit to that. But, she's got her tender moments and its moments like that I remember why I love her."

Ted nearly gagged on his words. It pained him to say such things, but it was the only way that he could get her to believe him. If he could, Ted would tell her that he was only using Kristen to make her jealous, but he held back. It was too soon. There was a time and a place to break things to her. He just had to do it fast.

Meanwhile, Evie felt like he had shot her in the heart. Sighing, she got up and started to push one of the boxes off to the side. His words shouldn't have affected her so much. She was engaged to be married and he was seeing her cousin. They had their chance and they lost it.
