Maria's POV

I woke up hearing the shower running. I looked around and there were clothes thrown all over the place. I know it's early because the room is not that illuminated with the sun's rays. I looked at the clock and it read 6am.

I can see the light beneath the door of the bathroom. I turned the other way and lay on my side. I pulled the blanket over my shoulders. I sighed.

I heard the bathroom door opening. I looked over my shoulder and saw Wade come out with a towel around his waist. Water was dripping from his hair to his chest and down to his abs. He looks extremely hot.

"You're awake." He said smiling and walked over to me and sat on the side of the bed. I sat up as I wrapped the blanket tighter around my body. He put a hand on my hair for a while and kissed me. I smiled.

"Morning." I whispered when we broke apart.

"Do you want to go get breakfast with me?" he asked standing up and heading where his bags were.

"No I'm fine. I think I'm gonna hang around today." I said leaning on the headboard.

"Okay." He went to where his bags were and got dressed.

"I'm heading down and gonna get some breakfast. Do you want anything?" He said while putting a shirt on.

"Nah…. I'm gonna call room service if I want anything." I shrugged.

"K. See yah later." He went over and kissed me on the head and headed for the door.

John's POV

Seriously, I didn't know what to think. Last night was a nightmare. I didn't really know what happened. One moment I was talking to Kelly then one moment she pulled me down and kissed me.

"What are you doing?" I pushed her off me.

"J-John, I'm sorry. I didn't know….." She stuttered looking down.

"You know what? Save it." I said and walked away just by then I saw Maria walking out the door holding Wade's hand.

There was a knock on the door. I got up from the couch. I opened the door and what a surprise. Kelly was standing there looking as timid as ever.

"Can I help you Kelly?" I asked. I sounded a little snappy but that's the least of my problems right now.

"John, I wanna talk." She said. I hesitated for a moment then I stepped aside and gestured with my head telling her to come on in.

"Okay, so where do we start?" I asked her heading for the couch but I don't feel like sitting. I stood beside it instead. I turned around and found her studying her feet.

"I just wanna apologize about last night." She started.

"I don't even wanna talk about it." I told her crossing my arms over my chest and looking away.

"See, the thing is John, I think I'm falling for you." I looked at her wide eyed.

"What?" I asked her again. I snorted. I wasn't sure I was hearing this.

"I've been thinking about it and now, I'm sure of my feelings." She looked up and found my eyes.

Of course, I was close to Kelly because she's close to Maria and they hang out a lot so we hang out a lot too. I never thought that I was leading her the wrong way. I always looked at Kelly as a little sister and that's just until there. Nothing else more.

"Wow, I just don't know what to say." I said rubbing the back of my head.

"How do I put this…" I continued then I finally sighed.

"Please, John. Give me a chance. Let me prove it to you." She started walking towards me.

"I say it's better if you stay where you are." I held out my hand stopping her.

"Kelly, I don't feel the same way. I've always treated you like a little sister and that's just it." I told her.

"John, I swear, if you just-"

"Kelly, I've said it." I said abruptly that had startled her.

"You still love Maria, don't you?" She said tears started to running down her cheeks. I didn't answer it.

"Why her, John? You're not meant to be together!" She raised her voice.

"That's not for you to say." I said looking down, my arms still remain planted on my chest.

"I've seen what she does to you! She has hurt you over and over again! You just always end up hurting each other!" She yelled.

I looked at her wide-eyed. I can't believe she's saying that. I thought she and Maria are close friends. It's like she turned to a different person. The Kelly I know never yells.

"How can you even say that Kelly, seriously." I said shaking my head.

"John, she does not deserve you." She whispered.

"I think we're done here." I said walking towards the door. I opened it and looked away avoiding Kelly's eyes.

"I told you the truth John. She does not deserve you." She said then she walked out of the door.

Maria's POV

I was sitting on the couch in front of the TV. Wade was gone all morning and now it's about 4pm I think. I have ordered room service and ate. Now, I'm left with nothing to do.

I walked to where my bags were and pulled my laptop out. I haven't really used it for a long time since you can just surf the net and pretty much do anything with your phone nowadays. I walked back to the couch and sat.

I started my computer on. I was watching some entertainment news on TV. Snooki's pregnant. Oh wow, look at that. I said and snorted and shook my head. I looked back to my computer and my stare was glued to the screen.

My desktop wallpaper was a photo of John kissing my cheek and I was laughing. I didn't know that it was that long since I last used my computer.

Suddenly, I missed him so much. I realized that I was too busy with Wade that I forgot about my feelings for John but I also realized that my feelings for John is still the same. I STILL love him.

He was mine at one point but I let him slip away because of my stupidity and my stupid confusion.

I clicked on the folder named "JC and RIA". It was all our photos. I clicked through them and a silent tear roller down my cheek. Then another followed ny another one until I was totally crying.

I pushed my laptop off my lap and reached for my phone. I scrolled down the list of my contacts and stopped when I saw the one name that I haven't called for a long time. I tapped on it and headed for the door.

No One's POV

John sat on the couch trying to remember the conversation he had that afternoon. It felt so surreal. He just can't believe it.

He was so into thinking that he didn't notice his phone is ringing. He reached for it on the coffee table. He didn't even bother to look at the number flashing on the screen.

"Hello" said the voice on the other end

"Maria?" John sat up straightly.

"John." She acknowledged him but her voice doesn't show any reaction.

"What's wrong?" he asked

"I miss you so much that it hurts so bad." She whispered. Her voice quivering.

John can't understand what he's hearing. He thought Maria was happy now.

"Why now, Maria?" He asked standing up and went outside to the balcony.

"I don't know, John. I just realized it." He can hear her shaky exhale.

"Of all this time." He muttered. He sighed.

"Well, I miss you too but I thought you're happy now." He said

"I thought so too John but I'm missing something and I can't ever be truly happy without that." She said

"What's that?" He asked

"It's not what, John. It's who and that's you." She said

There was a knock on the door. John turned around and headed for the it.

"John, I still love you." She said through the phone then sighed

"Well, I've always loved you Maria. You know that." He said. He put his hand on the doorknob.

"I still love you, John. Nothing has changed." She said through the phone.

John opened the door and saw Maria standing there with the phone pressed on her ear. He was doing the same too. For a moment they just stared at each other.

"And I choose you." She finished.
