A/N: WE'RE ALMOST AT THE END! I'M DROPPING HINTS LIKE CRAZY! Oh and Tiara flips out about the TVD thing because she is being insecure

Chapter 7: Killer Secrets: Part 1

I'm not hot when I wake up which means that my fiancé isn't in bed draping me in his body. I feel the cool breeze and hear the turning of the ceiling fan. My warm feet touch the cool hardwood floor when I get out of bed making my way to Ian's study. He's typing away on his Mac but looks up when I open the door.

He smiles at me, "How did you sleep?"

"Eh okay I guess it would've been better if you were there."

"I'm sorry babe I had some work to take care of but now that you are up, I'm all yours."

I sit down on the plush barely used black leather couch. "Ian I heard your conversation with Cheynne earlier. What's going on?"

He takes a deep breath, "Tiara I can't tell you."

"So you can confide in my best friend but not me? Don't you see how wrong that is?"

He gets up and sits next to me on the couch, "I know baby but it's for your own good."

"How? You're doing exactly what I don't want and you think that's good for me."

Ian runs both of his hands through his hair obviously frustrated. "Some occasions make everything overly not entertaining. I see when a thing comes here I never grin, unbelievably seething."

What in the hell? It's official I've driven this man mad I… very clever Somerhalder. "Hmm I get it."

He gives me a sneaky smirk then grabs my hand leading me down to the kitchen. "Mad at me still?"

"No its just weird to think what you said is true."

"Sadly yes that's why I keep skimming around stuff but I'm handling it no need to worry. Now what would you like to eat."

"Food."

"Thank you for pointing that out."

"Um pizza."

"From?"

"You can't make some? I like your pizza the best."

"I'll see what I can do," He finishes with a wink that makes my insides turn to mush.

"Where's Cheynne and Caitlyn?" I ask.

"Caitlyn is shopping some more and Cheynne said she was going with her but I doubt that."

"Well your doubts are right because she texted me that she was meeting up with Alex." Ian rolls his eyes, "Oh Mr. Somerhalder rolling your eyes does make my palm twitch."

He smiles then shakes his hips gosh I love this man. After filling up on vegetarian pizza Ian forces me to relax in the living room while he cleans up. I flop down on the couch and turn on the one hundred inch TV. The CW pops up when the screen is fully illuminated.

I smile when I see my prince charming in bed on the screen. It had been so long since I had watched TVD. The moment was spoiled quickly when I heard 'Elena' from his lips and her sashay out of the bathroom in nothing but lingerie and his button up. You should turn, turn now before you see something you regret. There's nothing to regret nothing is going to happen… I missed that episode. I feel the anger and tears boiling up to the surface when Ian gives that same smirk and look to her that he gives to me. Oh c'mon how many times do they have to kiss we get the point! Oh, thank god it's over they are not going to show it. Nope they are.

Nina eases herself on top of Ian kissing down his torso and he lets out a small moan. Why does he have to make sound, why does she have to keep touching all over him the way I do why in the hell am I still watching this? I hear footsteps behind me I expect it to be Ian but I'm glad that it's Cheynne. She says nothing and just gives my hand a gentle squeeze. Ian is on top of Nina taking the same path she took on him and I grit my teeth when his hand skims down over her breast and to her hip. I wipe away a lone tear before it can make its way down my cheek when I see Ian moving on top of her while they both quietly moan.

I look over to Cheynne who has a sympathetic look on her face, "Was the scene before bad?" I ask.

She swallows then grabs my arm leading me up to her room. I sit on her bed as she clicks around on her laptop fast forwarding to the end of the previous episode. One of my favorite songs, Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran, begins to play as they dance. I try to prepare myself for whatever is coming next. After a turn, Ian pulls her into a kiss slowly deepening it as he holds her close. They end up on a wall, Nina rips his shirt off, and he grabs her leg pulling it up to his waist. When they finally make it to the bed, she's on top of him and he bites her lip. Its nonstop kissing every inch of their bodies that's available then it ends.

"This was taped around when I left wasn't it?"

"I think so," Cheynne mumbles closing the laptop down.

"I'll be back," I get up and head downstairs to the living room and there Ian is just staring at the TV. "I assume you know this episode I don't I only saw the beginning."

He turns around, "Tiara before you-"

"Before I what? Jump to conclusions about what happened after that was taped or what happened after the last episode? Yeah I saw that scene too."

"It's not what you think we were just acting nothing more."

"Then you deserve a fucking Oscar because it surely looked like you loved her."

"I…I…"

"You gave her the same look you gave me you touched her the way you touch me even if you are the greatest actor in the world it shouldn't be the same! You shouldn't look at her like you looked at me back then when I could tell that you loved me when I watched it."

"Baby nothing bad happened."

"Don't baby me! If it was so innocent, why not warn me? Why not tell me what I should expect to hear from people about the episode? You had plenty of moments to tell me if it was just acting! Answer me this one thing, did you sleep with her?"

Ian looked down putting his hands on his hips.

"Fucking answer me! Tell me that I'm overreacting that all the doubts in my head are stupid that you never in a million years would feel comfortable touching another woman like the way you touch me! Say that when I hear that song play I won't have to think about what you and Nina did because you did nothing! Tell me that I'm the only woman in the world you love that there is no competition! That I'm sitting here crying and begging for an explanation that I should already know! At least say no that you didn't have sex with Nina and that me thinking that is completely absurd! Don't stand there all silent for once in your life when I need you to speak up the most, to reassure me that the man I want to marry is completely mine! Or can you not say any of that because I'm right and the worst fear of me losing you has come true because you love Nina Dobrev and you had sex with her?"

Ian continues to be silent but finally looks up at me. I can see his eyes getting shiny from the unshed tears.

"No… no… tell me that I'm wrong please."

He remains silent and looks away.

I walk out the room and straight to the doors that open to the back yard. I feel as if I can't breathe and I'm walking around with a knife in my heart that has been twisted by the one I love. I sit down on the step and stare at the gleaming pool bouncing off the moon's reflection.

Point of View: Cheynne Young

I pull off my headphones and head downstairs unsure of what happened when Tiara went down there. I see Ian sitting on the couch with his head in his hands.

"Where's Tiara?"

He shrugs his shoulders still looking down.

"What did you do?"

Ian says nothing running his fingers through his hair. I stand there waiting for an explanation he is not going to get off Scott free something went down and I want to know.

"She thinks I cheated on her."

"Well did you?" Ian doesn't reply.

"What the hell is your problem? How could you cheat on Tiara knowing full and well that it was tear her to shreds? Then on top of that, you cheat on her with Nina you damn ex-girlfriend that treated you like shit! In what world is Nina better than Tiara? Tiara treats you like a king she loves you unconditionally and would defend you in her dying breath but you throw that all away for a fucking skank! You planned to marry Tiara you flew over the Atlantic to find her you didn't stop thinking about her you said that she was all you needed! She feels guilty all the time because of what she did that she hasn't given you children yet well she has every right to keep her body to herself after the stunt you pulled! You fought for this fucking relationship and so has Cody, Tiara, and I and I'll be damn sure to make it work! You'll be lucky if she can stand the sight of you let alone let you touch her again! Do you even love her?"

Ian looks up still silent. "Fucking say something!" I grab him by the shoulders and shake him. "Has it gotten through your thick skull that you are about to lose or might have already lost the woman you love?"

"I'm just in shock I was in shock when she asked me and I couldn't give her an answer I just shut down and my mind is going crazy right now."

"Then did you cheat or not?"

"No."

"Do you love Tiara?"

"I love her with all my heart she is my everything."

"Then tell her that! You find her ass and fix the bullshit you have created! If you truly love her like I think you do, you won't let her think ever again that there is a possibility that you have been unfaithful to her!" I pull Ian up and push him towards the doorway. Once he is gone I flop down on the couch, I should be a relationship councilor.

Point of View: Ian Somerhalder

I pull out my phone and call Tiara expecting her to be in her car driving far away from me. I couldn't blame her if she never wanted to see me again but I had to make sure she knew the truth not like last time where she thought something completely wrong for months.

"You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream the way you turn me on. I can't sleep lets runaway and don't ever look back don't ever look back."

I follow the ringtone out to the pool and see my distraught fiancée staring into the water with her knees pulled into her chest still weeping. I sit next to her and pull her onto my lap. I'm surprised she doesn't pull away or turn around and punch me straight in the
jaw. Tiara cries even harder when I kiss her forehead and it breaks my heart to cause her anything else but happiness.

"Tiara I didn't cheat on you I was shocked when you asked me that and seeing you so upset I just shut down. I did have plenty of chances to warn you about the episodes but it wasn't on my mind I wanted to have you back in my life again. You were overreacting and all the doubts in in your head are stupid because never in a million years would I feel comfortable touching another woman the way I touch you. When you hear that song play, you won't have to think about what Nina and I did because we did nothing. You're the only woman in the world I love and there's no competition. You were sitting there crying and begging for an explanation that you should already know. What you were thinking is completely absurd because there will never be anyone that can replace you no one that can love me the way you do and no one that I could ever love as much as I love you. Please don't cry because I was so stupid and couldn't open my mouth slap me if you need to but please don't cry anymore."

She looks up at me with her big brown eyes that red with sadness. "I should slap you but I love you too much. Plus you're the only man that actually listens when his woman yells at him. Are you mad me?"

"No of course not baby doll."

She tries not to smile but fails miserably. We sit there in silence for what seems like hours but it was probably only ten minutes in reality. When I hear that little squeak of a tiny snore, I know Tiara's out for the count. I pick her up and carry her in my arms to our bed. I sit there looking at her so peaceful it seems like the only time she is at peace is when she is away from me. I hear mumblings of random things from her mouth about how much she loves me. Tiara always talks in her sleep but I would never tell her that because it's the only time she truly is unfiltered.

I gently run my fingers across her cheek I will live with the guilt for the rest of my life just to make sure she remains this peaceful… so that's what I will do.
