Hello all,

So the drama begins! My chapters are starting to make more sense which is really good for me. :)

Just to clarify this chapter, it overlaps with the last one. It'll be more clear when you read it. Also, I'm sorry that it's so short. It's just a intro for the next chapter which will have all the good stuff in it.

Thanks for reading! Review!

"How come you left me for Tristan?"

Zach is yelling at me, and I am crying and scared.

"I'm sorry Zach, I didn't mean to break your heart." My voice trails off. This sounds like a soap opera.

He glares at me. "You totally lead me on! I'm not sure what you were thinking, but you can't just date me and then break up with me as soon as Berkeley comes along!"

"I'm sorry! How was I supposed to know? I thought I liked you! I didn't know that I liked Tristan."

"Whatever." He stalks off. "We're not friends anymore."

I wake up, sweating from my nightmare. I really hope that's not how my talk with Zach is going to go. I desperately want all of this romance drama to sort itself out, but I don't think it will end that easily.

I am shivering in my bed because of the nightmare. It seemed so vivid that I thought it was real.

I am breathing heavily as I text Emma.

C. Sloane: Help! I'm freaking out about Zach!

E. Hawthorne: You don't have to accept the position.

C. Sloane: It's not that. I just need to talk to him about our break up.

E. Hawthorne: It'll be fine. Remember when Stewart and I had that problem with Sophie?

C. Sloane: The Stewrat Ages? Sure.

E. Hawthorne: Yeah, well, Stewart and I practically broke up. It was terrible.

C. Sloane: Okay...

E. Hawthorne: Well, if I wasn't up front with Stewart, then I would have never known whether he wanted to date me or Sophie. That's what Zach is missing. You know, the closure of your relationship.

C. Sloane: Thanks, love guru. I'm just worried because I thought we had closure.

E. Hawthorne: You didn't really tell him about Tristan. He just was dumped by you, and then you started dating Tristan. It probably was a little surprising.

C. Sloane: I guess. Ughhh! I hate love.

E. Hawthorne: Come on, Zach's a nice guy. If you just tell him the truth, I'm sure you guys can be friends again.

C. Sloane: I'm just really worried. What if he doesn't want to be friends?

E. Hawthorne: I'd love to talk more about this, but it's 2:00 a.m., and I'm tired. And if he doesn't want to be friends anymore, then who needs him?

C. Sloane: I guess... Bye. Talk to you tomorrow.

E. Hawthorne: Bye.

I turn my phone off and go to bed. I hope all goes well tomorrow.
