~Angelica POV~

Could Alex not take a hint?

So, he's been dating my sister Eliza for a while, like four months or something. Eliza loves him.

The problem was, I'd had a huge crush on him even before he met Eliza.

I'd met Alex during a summer camp last year. I know the whole love-at-first-sight thing is ridiculous, but it was exactly what I was feeling. I dropped a few hints at him, but he didn't seem to notice.

We didn't talk much, but he'd told me that he was going to the same summer camp this year. Eliza and my youngest sister, Peggy, were also going this year. They'd decided to not attend last year.

So I introduced Eliza to Alex, and immediately she looked Helpless.

So they've been dating, and it was now a few months into the school year. Alex has transferred to our school. He was fast friends with John, Herc, Laff, Thomas, and Aaron.

Now, I feel like I've reached my limit. The guy I've been crushing on is dating my sister.

Up until now, I've hidden it for Eliza's sake.

So, what do I do?

Hm...

~Eliza POV~

Angie: Hi.

Me: Hi.

Angie: I found out something today.

Me: About what?

Angie: Well, Alex has been cheating on you.

Me: What?

Angie: Yea. With Maria Reynolds.

Me: He wouldn't.

Angie: He confessed to me about cheating.

Me: Why didn't he tell me?

Angie: IDK

Me: Bye.

Angie: Let me know if I can do anything.

I turned off my phone and buried my head in my pillow as I started to cry. I loved Alex with all my heart, and he doesn't feel the same way, even though we had come close to kissing a few times. He cheated on me.

Maybe I should've seen it coming. I was never enough for him. I should've figured he would choose pretty and popular Maria over little ugly me.

Wait. I was supposed to go on a date with him tonight.

I decided to text him. I didn't have the guts to talk to him in person.

Me: Hi.

He texted back surprisingly quick.

Alex: Hi. What's up?

Me: I know you're cheating on me.

Alex: What? No I'm not!

Me: Yes you are! Angelica told me!

Alex: Well, I'm not!

Me: Don't text me again.

I turned off my phone, putting it on vibrate. Then I turned it back on, ignoring all the texts Alex sent me. I scrolled through the pictures, of all the ones of Alex and me. My finger hovered over the delete button, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. I cried the whole time.

An hour later, there was a knock at my door. My tears had long since dried, but I checked myself in the mirror and went to open it.

It was Alex. I almost slammed the door in his face.

"What the heck are you doing here?" I asked harshly.

"Eliza, I swear I didn't cheat. I don't know what Angelica was talking about, but-"

I sighed. "I don't think you're telling the truth."

"Why would I not be?"

"'Cause you don't want to be known as unfaithful?"

"Eliza..."

"Just leave," I ordered.

He sighed and turned away. I shut the door, and an envelope slipped under the door. I picked it up tentatively and went to my desk to open it.

It said:

Eliza,

I swear I am not cheating. I would never cheat on you. Angelica is not telling the truth.

I love you. I love you too much to break your heart. Even if we weren't dating, I still would not feel complete without you. Whenever I'm stressed, I just think of you and I calm down immediately.

I know you don't think you are as good as Maria, but I'm telling you you're a million times better then her. You're way kinder, more generous, and I love you more then I ever thought I was capable of living somebody.

My life is a good one because you're in it. I'm sorry if you hate me right now, but you should know that you are the best thing in my life. You are the best person anyone could know. You're the best girlfriend I could ask for.

Forever yours,
Alexander

I choked a little. He really had a way with words.

But I still didn't know what to think. I wanted to get everything straight first.

I went over to Angelica's dorm and knocked.

She opened the door, and her gaze immediately softened.

"Are you alright?" she asked gently. "Did you talk to Alex?"

"Yes I did," I said. "But, Angelica, are you telling me the truth?"

She looked scandalized. "Of course I am! I'm your sister! I will always tell you the truth."

"I don't know who I believe right now," I said.

"You don't know if you believe your own sister?" she asked.

"Exactly."

"Liza, my little cinnamon roll, you can't just believe that Alex would never hurt you. I know you're too innocent, but it's just how things will work sometimes."

"Okay," I said, turning on my heel.

She didn't stop me. She seemed satisfied.

I went over to Maria's dorm and knocked.

"Coming!" a voice shouted.

Maria appeared at the door, looking perfect as always. She and I had always been pretty good friends, so I had a feeling I could trust her to be truthful.

"I have a question," I said. "And it's an important one. I need you to to be truthful."

She raised an eyebrow. "Okay?"

"Has Alex been cheating on me?" I asked.

Maria looked genuinely confused. "Um, no. Why?"

"Well, Angelica told me that he was cheating on me with you."

She looked disgusted. "Ew! No way! I don't like him! Besides, I would never let him cheat on you. With anyone."

I sighed. "Okay. I think you're telling the truth."

"Cross my heart, I am," she said.

I smiled and left, going back to my dorm.

Soon there was a knock. I opened it to see Angelica standing there, her head in her hands.

"Um, you okay?" I asked.

"No," she said quietly.

"Well, come in," I said.

She did, and I shut the door behind her.

"I'm so sorry, Liza. You'll hate me after this."

"What?"

"Well..." she said, "I lied. Alex never cheated on you."

"What?" I repeated.

"Yeah. I've had a crush on him for so long, and you started dating him, so I tried to sabotage your relationship. I'm sorry. I've decided I don't feel that way about him anymore."

"Okay?" I didn't know what to think.

"I suppose you hate me now?"

"Angelica, of course I don't! You're my sister."

I hugged her. She promised that she would never even think about it again.

We spent a good two hours just talking and laughing, until her smile vanished off of her face.

"Wait. You have to go talk to Alex. Who knows what he's thinking now."

"Oh shoot," I said, hoping off of my bed. "You're right. I'm gonna go."

She smiled. "Okay. Good luck!"

I ran over to Alex's dorm and knocked. For some reason, John Laurens opened the door.

"Oh! Hi Eliza. Um, what's up?"

"I have to talk to Alex," I insisted.

"Well, okay, but first I gotta ask you something," he said.

"Fine."

"So, I've liked your sister Peggy for a while, and I've gotten Angelica's appoval. I just need yours."

I smiled. "Hm. You and Peggy. Sure. I wouldn't mind having you as a brother-in-law. But, Peggy Laurens? Or Margarita Laurens. I'll have to get used to that name."

He blushed furiously.

"Okay, can I talk to Alex now?"

"Sure. I assume you want to be left alone?"

"That would be nice."

He grinned. "Okay. Bye."

He left, heading back to his dorm.

I fingered the letter in my pocket and went in. Alex was just sitting at his desk, staring off into space. He didn't seem to notice me.

"Alex?" I whispered.

He jumped a little. "Eliza? What the-"

I crushed him in a hug "I'm really sorry. Angelica lied to me about you cheating."

He hugged me back. "It's okay. All that matters is that you're here."

"Um, I got your letter," I pulled away.

He blushed and looked down at his lap. "Um, yea. It's really bad, I wrote it in like forty-five minutes or so."

"Really? It was the most eloquent thing I've read by you so far," I teased.

He stood up from his chair and hugged me again. I melted into his chest.

Alex suddenly pulled away and kissed me. Right on the lips. I kissed him back fervently. His lips were the best thing I've ever felt.

He pulled away.

"Um, sorry."

"Don't be," I said pressing his lips to mine again.

"I love you," I murmured.

"Love you too."

OMG I love this one...
