I walked back over to Eli. I grabbed onto his arm. I glanced down at my hand, and saw the beautiful ring he had bought me.

Will my two best friends ever get back together? How does Ryan know Theresa? Where did he actually go?

So many questions floated through my head. I started squeezing Eli's arm a lot harder.

"So, where were you guys exactly?" I asked

"I flew out to Arizona to see Theresa." Ryan said, holding her hand.

"You flew all the way out to Arizona from here in Virginia?!" Eli asked.

"Yeah, you guys remember when Theresa moved all those years ago? Well, me and her had kept in touch. I went to see her because I knew after everything that night, she was the only one I could see."

"I can't believe you!" Christina yelled at Ryan. She stormed into another room.

Eli walked up to Ryan, he whispered something into Ryan's ear, and his expression turned pale. He seemed very shaken about what Eli told him.

Later on that night, Me and Eli were sitting in bed, his arm was around me. I looked at him, thinking about what would happen between Ryan and Christina.

Will they end up like me and Eli? Will Ryan and Theresa end up together?

"What did you whisper to Ryan earlier?" I asked, not realising I was think allowed.

"Um... well... I just mentioned to him that Christina might still love him, he doesn't really know, so he should have given it a bit more time."

"Oh, do you think I should ask Christina about it?"

"You might want to leave her be, but I guess it's your choice in the end."

"I think I want to... if she does still love him, she might want to talk about it, I'll be back in a bit."

"Ok, good luck."

I walked through the living room into the room Christina was staying in. She was sitting on the bed, her hands were on her knees. I could tell she was crying before I entered the room. I sat down on the bed, and gave her a hug. She looked up at me. Her eyes seem to show a broken heart.

"Hey..."

She just stared at me.

"I know you still love him. If you love him, why did you do it in the first place?"

"I-I needed to get away, I was afraid I was gonna get him more hurt. You saw the injuries on him. He has a permanent slash mark from a bat on his jaw. He had a black eye for a few days. He almost died! I don't want him to get hurt because of me again."

"But you love him, you need to tell him how you feel. He chose to help you because he LOVES you! He protected you from what could have happened! He did that out of love!"

"I don't want him to get hurt because I love him! I just need to get over this, I-I need to get away for a while. I think I'm gonna leave tomorrow morning."

"If you need to get away, please don't do what Ryan did, please keep in contact."

"I'll try, I can't promise anything though."

"Just, know that you always have a place here."

I gave her a hug, and climbed off of the bed. I walked back through the living room, and into me and Eli's room. I crawled into bed next to him. I snuggled up next to him, and passed off into sleep.
