Yay, an update! No worries; I have tons of ideas and I will keep going as fast as I can! So fret not my Silverbells. Okay, that might sound like a lame holiday reference, but couldn't that totally be the name of my fans when I'm famous? Like, Lady Gaga has her little monsters and Nicki Minaj has the Barbies and... oh, forget it.

Have I ever mentioned that Adyson annoys me? Oh, well, she's taking it way past that point. The girl cries and cries about her stupid boyfriend she loved so much, then, she suddenly gets over it after one stupid trip to get ice cream. And, to top it all off, she has her eyes set on a new guy. That's right. Already. And guess who it is? I told him to quit flirting with her. Yup. Ferb. MY Ferb. I mean, I'm sure there aren't a lot of Ferbs running around out there, but can't she find her own?

Why doesn't anybody get this? Phineas and Ferb are MY boys. I mean, there's Buford, and Baljeet, and the rest of the gang, but Phineas and Ferb… they're different. We three go together. Everybody in Danville knows that! I'm the one that they can't replace; Stacy has stood in for Candace, Mr. Fletcher for Mrs. Flynn-Fletcher, heck, they even replaced Perry with a block of wood! But they have yet to try and replace Isabella Garcia-Shapiro.

Okay, what the hell am I talking about? They are trying to replace me! Phineas is practically holding auditions with these mystery girls. And Ferb better not let Adyson take my spot or I'll break his willowy legs.

I sighed. I was at work, but I was just peeved. Stupid Adyson! She was even dropping hints that she wanted me to set her up with Ferb. No. I would never do that. And all I wanted to know is why. Why wouldn't I let her come near Ferb? Phineas was the one I was in love with. I don't think I'll ever be able to get over Phineas. So what's wrong with Adyson wanting to go out with his brother?

"Hey, Isabella." Kyle said to me. I just tilted my head to acknowledge him. "Can I borrow five bucks?"

Stupid Kyle. I couldn't concentrate on anything but the horrifying idea of Adyson and Ferb. Why?! Why can't I think of anything but those two?!

"Because I'm jealous!" I screamed. Everyone around me stared. I blinked and stared back at all those eyes.

"What?" Kyle questioned.

"Go away." I whispered. He listened and left.

Meanwhile, I was trying to hide myself. Why did I have to say that out loud? But now that I had, it was stuck in my brain. I was jealous.

"Isabella, right?" I heard a deep voice say. I jumped at the noise. Oh my gosh, that was Mr. Chandler, my boss.

"Yes, sir." I stammered.

"Quite an interesting outburst." He said.

"Well, normally sir, I'm a little more articulate." I said.

"I know. You've really made an impression on many of us, with your drive to succeed."

"Thank you." I said confidently. "I've always had good organization and people skills."

"Indeed. And there might be a possibility of you using those skills in a higher position in this company." He said thoughtfully as he left.

Oh my, did I detect a possible promotion? To think he only noticed me because of an outburst. And then I remembered… I'm totally nuts.

I'm jealous, I'm jealous, I'm jealous! I was jealous of Wynne and now Adyson! I'm lying to myself! I'm not just friends with Ferb, because I'm helplessly attracted to him, and I sure as hell don't want him sleeping with anybody but me! And even if I'll be able to get over Ferb… I don't know if I'll ever want to.

"Hey, heard you talking to the boss. Did I hear what I think I heard?" Kyle said in a peppy voice as he returned. "What's wrong?"

"Something." I said unhappily.

"Isabella," I heard Kyle say gently. "Can I take you home?"

I nodded like a sad puppy. He gathered my stuff and handed it to me. Then, we started walking to my place.

Kyle suddenly broke the silence. "You don't have to go out with me."

I turned towards him. "Huh?"

"You said that maybe we could go out, but I was thinking, and when I compare what dating you, with your rules, and snarky comments, and frizzy hair…" He gave me a playful smile. I frowned. "…would be like to being friends with a girl who's as good to me as you are, I would rather be friends." He finished.

"So you're releasing me from my non-obligatory date?" I asked.

"Yup. Isabella, welcome to the friend zone." He said evilly.

I laughed. "It's not so bad. It's the safest place I've been in a while."

"Why?" He asked.

"It's…" I started.

"…Complicated." He finished. We reached the apartment building and Kyle followed me in.

"It really is." I said. "More than I thought it could ever be. Kyle… have you ever been in love?"

He wrinkled his forehead. "I dunno. I thought I might have been a few times, but I can't help thinking that maybe love feels like more than just…"

"A fairytale." I said.

"Yeah." He said.

"I think I'm in love." I said slowly. "And I don't even know who with." I shook my head and turned towards him. "Anyway, thank you Kyle. You're a good friend."

He hugged me and left.

I pressed my forehead against my door. Why did I feel like this? There was too much to sort out. I vaguely heard a door swing open and shut. It didn't register until I heard him.

"What the hell was he doing here?" Ferb asked angrily.

I jumped, startled. I glanced at him, and he looked mad. I groaned. "Were you spying on me?" I almost felt like crying at this point. I turned and opened my apartment and walked in.

I heard him following me. Couldn't he just leave me alone? I couldn't take this sexual tension anymore. We were so past the point of no return. All it took was one glance at him, with his muscles and the brooding look on his face and I was already hungry for him.

"I heard you talking. Why was he here?" Ferb said.

"God, you were spying on me! He's my friend. Officially! So you can quit acting like a psycho." I snapped.

"He wants more than that, Isabella. You don't know how these guys think." He said.

"These guys… so you think that all guys, including my friends, want from me is sex, right? Because that's all I am! I'm just 'the skirt'! And when I'm gone, you and Buford and Baljeet and Phineas talk about your disgusting fantasies with Isabella!" I cried.

"No, Bella…"

"No? I know they all like me. And before you try to act righteous, remember you're the only one who's fucked me." I said.

"Stop." He said.

"No, you stop!" I was getting hysterical. "I can't even walk with a guy up to my apartment? Stop being so jealous!"

"I'm not jealous!" He declared.

"You are so! You won't even let a stupid buddy hug me goodnight! You used to be that buddy, Ferb!" I cried.

"Well, look how that turned out." He said dryly.

"Oh my god, I hate you! I don't even know why I was so upset about Adyson…" I trailed off.

"You were jealous of Adyson!" He said in triumph.

"Shut up!"

"And I know you were bloody jealous to follow me out on that other date." He continued.

I started crying. "You idiot! What are we doing? We took something rock hard, our friendship, we added so much physical, emotional, and sexual tension, and we broke it. Now it's just hanging by a string."

"No, Bella, don't say that!" Ferb said desperately. "So things get tense, we get jealous, I act stupid…"

"And I'm done." I said. "Ferb, I'm done. I can't do this anymore. Please leave." I made a beeline to my bedroom and shut the door. I collapsed against it.

"Isabella!" He yelled, from right on the other side of the door. "Okay, now I'm angry."

"Leave!" I cried.

"No! Open the damn door!" He yelled.

The knob started shaking. I fled from the door and it opened. I didn't have the chance to yell again, because suddenly his hands were around my face, pulling it to his. He kissed me, but more forcefully than ever before. I was so lost at that point, but I just kept kissing him. Then, I realized he was pushing me forward. I fell onto my bed with him on me.

He pulled his lips off mine and nipped my ear. "Did you think I would let you throw me away?" He whispered. He kissed my neck and I felt his teeth sink in with every one, no doubt leaving dark marks on my ivory skin. I couldn't care less. He moved to my collarbone, continuing to bite.

Suddenly, he got off me. I almost felt like pulling him back down. I didn't know what to do. I saw he was taking off his clothes as fast as possible, so I did the same. He grabbed me again the second my dress was off. He unhooked my bra and pulled it off. Then, our underwear.

"How many times have you thrown me to the side, Isabella?" He said. "Never again."

He thrust into me, hard enough to make me yelp. Ferb had never been so rough with me. I must have really upset him. He pulled out and went again, and this time I bit his neck to stifle my moans. He kept going faster, with more and more force. I'm pretty sure I was bent into positions I couldn't normally get into. If it was hurting, I didn't notice over the mind-numbing pleasure he was causing. Ferb reaching his peak, and drove even deeper into me, causing my own orgasm.

I closed my eyes for only a few minutes, but when I opened my eyes, he was already getting ready to go.

"What's going on?" I said, standing up and wrapping myself in my robe.

"I need to leave." He said, with an almost cocky smile flickering on his face.

"You jerk. You just broke into my apartment and screwed my brains out, and now you're trying to leave without a second glance?" I said. I was trying to sound angry, but he could tell I wasn't.

He didn't say anything, but he still had that satisfied smirk on his face, as he started walking out of my room. "After everything tonight, why would you decide to be quiet now?"

"Why don't you reflect on that?" He asked.

"You… that's it!" I yelled, laughing. I got up and grabbed one of my shoes, and ran after him. He started laughing too, but he made it to the door way before I did and opened it. I threw the shoe at him but he used the door as a shield.

"Isabella…" He said slowly. "…You missed!" And with that cheeky answer he shut the door and left.

"FERB! You jerk!" I called after him. "Ferb! Can you hear me?" I guess not. He had probably gone home and I was screaming to my apartment door. "Ferb, you made me realize something. Ferb?" I closed my eyes and held my breath.

"I love you."

I had so many thoughts that I tried to convey in this chapter. Why don't you reflect on that? ;)
