I'm sorry for the wait. I've been busy with my other stories.

Sorry if it's short. Though, the next chapter maybe will be on Ross or Andrew's POV.

P.S. Sorry for the cliffhanger again.

"Why didn't you tell me you're Ross Ellis's girlfriend?" Zara asked me again and again. "I'm not" I answered again and again. "I just saw you at TV, and you're with Ross. Yeah, you're not" she said sarcastically. I deeply sighed. "You wouldn't understand" I mutter.

"Then make me understand" her voice was determined. I hesitated. Should I? "Promise me that we'll still be friends?" I asked her, giving up. I heard her chuckle. "You've just interrupted my dream about Andrew Skyes and nachos, just get on with it" she replied, making me grin.

"Fine" I took a deep breath. It's now or never. "Ross Ellis is not my boyfriend. He's just a new found friend.." I paused. Should I tell her about him? I don't think- "You're hiding something from me" she said, making my eyes go wide. "N-no, I'm n-not" I stutter.

"Yes, you are. You're stuttering" she stated. Shoot, I can't run away from her. "I don't have a choice, don't I?" I sighed. I pictured her smug smile right now. "Nope. Now get on with it, missy" she quickly replied. "You know, you're still nosy as ever" I brought up. "Yes, I am. Now don't change the subject" but still failed.

Guess there's no turning back now. I closed my eyes and let my voice do the work. "There was a boy who stayed at my apartment. When I woke up one day, he was there, hugging me. I let him stay because.." Because of my plan. "Because he needed to get away from the stress he was in" I lied. She knows that I wouldn't let any strangers stay at my home, but I guess, she bought it.

"Well, who was this boy?" she asked quickly. Panic rises at me. "Is that even important?" I asked back, biting my lip. "Yes, it is" she said firmly. I'm not ready to say it, but I can't just lie to my best friend. I was about to tell her who, when an idea popped in my head.

"You want to know everything?" I'm positive that she will accept my offer. "Then meet me tomorrow. Our secret place. Be there at 9. Don't be late" I said straight to the point. There was a long pause before she answered back. "Seems fair enough. See you tomorrow, bye" then she hung up.

I put my phone away from my ear and stared at it for a while. Tomorrow will be a long day. I deeply sighed and put it back to my pocket. I ran back to my table, where I was met by a smiling Elijah. "Took you long enough" he chuckled. "Sorry about that" I apologized and sat down.

"Now where were we?" I asked, as I dig in the food in front of us. I was about to reach for the burger when Elijah chuckled once again. "Slow down, tiger" I gave him a deadly glare. "Don't interrupt my moment, boy. You don't know what I can do."
