This is awkward. Why Is everyone so quiet. I mean honestly its none of Eric's business of what I do with my man. Is he my man? I grab Alex's arm and force him to keep moving. As we walk by Alex bumps his arm right into Eric. I roll my eyes I know that was on purpose. Eric moves along and continues what he was about to do on the roof. My life is so complicated. What is wrong with guys.

"Who is he?"

"No one" I mumble

"Why was he staring at us?"

"Honestly you were staring at him too"

"Is there something your not telling me?"

I stop dragging him down the stairs and try my best to speed ahead. What is wrong with him he's asking all these questions like if there is something I am hiding. Well of course I am. I wish he could just leave me alone he wraps his hand over my body and turns me to face him. I had to make him shut up. I needed to make him convinced that I loved him because I do. I flew my hands up to his face and cupped his jaw to kiss him. As soon as my lips drew against his my anger and annoyance didn't make sense to me and I only focused on the amazing warmth being made. The movement was in perfect harmony and it felt like I was just about to lose it. But I must resist. I slowly separated my lips from his and didn't bother looking at his brown eyes. He still hasn't let go of my body. That's when I realized my hands were still on his face. I slid my hands from his face to his neck to his chest and then my fingers as it hung on his shirt and i dropped my hands quick before anything goes further. I force myself to stop smiling I then move my hands to his hands that laid on my body and move them off I can see his face now and he looks a bit disappointed In me but I can tell he was a bit shocked by his eyebrows. I continue to walk and he follows precisely behind me.

(Lunch)

I sat at the same table I did yesterday and thought of Alex's expression I have been looking at the entrance waiting for Alex to come through but its just regular people. He was probably sad because he probably felt that I was rejecting him. I don't want him to think that I don't love him. I mean I thought I showed him I do. Maybe that wasn't good enough. Thinking about this is to much I need to relax. I place my hand on my head and scratch the back of my ear and sigh. I close my eyes after and try to get my mind off of Alex when I hear a sudden screeching of a chair. I look up and see Eric with a sincere look on his face I roll my eyes and stand up so I can rush out of my chair and get away from him. The next thing I know I am stopped by Eric's grip on my elbow.

"Let me go!" I begin to shout I wiggle and squirm intill I give up and drop to the floor.

"Hey what happened" he says his voice coming in strong

I Get up and lean on my elbows for a few seconds. Then I cover my face and cry. I sense people staring at me And when I open my eyes I see Eric kneeling down in front of me he held out his hand and I almost don't take it.

He is the last person I want to see. I can't be with him I just can't. Like I'd ever have a chance with him anyway. I'm with Alex. I think. Ugh this is so frustrating. When I stand, Eric moves his hand to the back of my head and pushes me to his chest. I'm too tired from crying to pull away I slightly open my eyes and look up at Eric smiling and playing with a few strands of my hair. This is wrong I can't be like this. I can't be on Eric's chest like this crying because of him. But he was so sweet he comforts me when I am sad. I could feel my tears soak into his shirt so I put my hands under my head where it laid on him. I was so tired I just wanted to drift of alseep. This is still wrong I pull away from him and wipe off my tears. Waiting for a response to occur.

"What happened?"

"Can we talk about this at a different time and maybe not here" I mutter still sniffling and wiping tears off of me. He takes my hand and begins to walk me out of the cafeteria.

"W-Where are you taking me?"

"You said not here"

"I also said at a different time"

"The time changes per second" he smirks

I snatch my hand out of his grip and back up.

"What... You don't trust me"

"I-I don't know not really" I answered

"Then let's get to know each other and maybe it will make you feel better and then you will trust me" he said confidently.

"No, it won't make me feel better" I say slowly stepping back into the cafeteria.

He steps forward and this time I take first shot.

"Stop, don't take another step closer"

"OK... I won't" he says. I cover my face and turn to the wall to lean on it I can hear his footsteps walking away or perhaps getting closer. And when I plunge my hands off my face and onto my lap and open my eyes to see Alex at the corner of my eye, leaning beside me on the white brick wall next to me

"Sorry" whispered Alex

"Why you did nothing" I whisper back. the whole conversation we whispered.

"I should be the one to say sorry"

"What do you m-"

I cut Alex off and begin to speak again.

" I mean. While you were gone another man..." I pause and almost cry again. I face the ground so he wouldn't see me crying.

He gently cradles my chin and lifts my head up to face him. Why does this feel familiar. He stares at me with his face curved in worry. My stomach felt so empty and I couldn't breathe. I felt like I had lit a candle in my stomach and it fell over. He raises his other hand up and he wipes the tears off my cheek.

"I love you. Do you love me too?" He says and I can hear his voice cracking. I do love him but why is it taking me so long to say that. I have loved him since the day I met him. He was my dream guy.

Alex leans in for a kiss but I blocked him I covered my lips with a finger to stop him. But he jeeps on coming and it ends with a finger kiss.

"Guess not" suddenly says Alex still on the wall.

"Alex listen to me at midnight I want you to come to the cafeteria and we will settle this once and for all"

"I don't understand?"

"Just do as I say!-Please" I closed my eyes in frustration holding a gist at my side.

"A-Alright then" Alex says walking off.

A few minutes passed and Eric came by.

"Feeling better now that I wasn't in your way?" Says Eric

"Sure... I guess?"

Eric was wearing a new shirt to replace the stained one he had on soaked with most of my tears. I blushed in embarrassment at the thought of how I ruined his wardrobe.

"Eric can you please meet me at the cafeteria at 12:00"

"Um... Sure. What for?"

"I just need to clarify a few things.

Sure he said swiping his finger across my chin. I gasp a bit as it tingles.

Here's the plan I will get Alex and Eric to meet me at the cafeteria. Then I will talk to them about what happened first ordering to tell the truth. And when everything has settled the grudge will be out of my way and everything will be fine then.

I took a quick shower and went straight to my drawer it was empty all my cloths I had were used. Dang it! I decided that there was only one thing left to do. I took a pair of Jeans out of a basket placed there for dirty cloths. Honestly they weren't that dirty but I don't feel comfortable wearing cloths twice.

"Oh well" I whisper to myself I take a tang top and some blue jeans right away and fit them onto me. When I was done I tied my hair into a small bun with a bright crimson scrunchy. I felt a bit casual as I load awake on my bed. Trying my hardest not to fall asleep.

(Midnight)

It was 12:00 and I flew out of my bed I wanted to be their after the boys arrived for an entrance. I slowly walked down the hall and searched my way through the halls. When I could it. Alex was only there. I quickly look behind me to see if anyone was following me. And fortunately there were no followers. Alex face was blank and emotionless. I took one step to the table and he snapped to my attention. I give a small wave before my greeting. I hear feet coming and Alex's face flashes into emotion I turn around and see Eric closely behind me.

"Sit down, Eric" I say as I I wait for him to sit and the table in the middle of the lunch room.

"I brought you guys here so I can clear the misunderstood between the three of us" I wait for a response she but Alex and Eric just bluntly look at each other.

"In the past few days I was devastated at the disappearance of Alex. At my birthday we shared a kiss that left me into tears when the earthquake separated us. And who was there to bring me down Eric. He talked quite a bit and for the most of the time I just wanted to slap him. But at a time when the might was still out and it was a cold tired darkness In the morning dew. And when the mood was right Eric kissed me. Alex's smirk disappeared at the sound of my words. I almost couldn't continue speaking for tension was beginning to grow between Alex and Eric. I took a deep breathe before I continued. While Eric and I kissed I pushed him away because I still had hope for Alex and I wasn't ready to let him go. I didn't want to tell either of you guys because for the first time" I tried not to cry but tears started to drip from my eyes out of know where.

"For the first time I found people who actually l-loved me" I whipped the tears off my face and crossed my hands. And just was when I was about to walk away they both stood up and hugged me.
