Sue Ellen's POV

I hated hearing from Brain again. He'd had the flu for weeks, and I was concerned for him not getting his work done. When he said everything was taken care of, I knew something was up.

The fight was vicious. Why couldn't he call someone else? I didn't care if she was his lab partner. I already told him I didn't like her hanging around him.

"She's not you! You mean more to me than she ever will! Please, believe me," he pleaded.

It hurt to know she'd been there when I wasn't.

But I had to let it go. To make this work, I had to let go. I just hope I honestly can.
