Somebody knocks on the door and Anthony pulls away. "Shit." He says. "Who is it?" I ask, after I stare at his eyes I realize who it is. "Whats she doing here?" He shakes his head, "She's obsessed."

"What do you mean?" I ask as he gets up. "After a year that you left, I met her in my college class. I asked her out on a date and after that she won't leave me alone." I feel kinda hurt that Anthony asked her out. "Don't worry, nothing happened between us." He says obviously reading my mind.

He opens the door and she throws herself at him hugging him by the neck, he pulls away from her grip and she looks at me as I stand up from the sofa. "What the fuck?" She says looking at me up and down. I try to kept a straight face and not look down so she won't see that she intimidated me. "What is this scarecrow doing here? Again!?" I wince at her words, they hurt. "Hey, hey don't talk to her like that," Macy rolls her eyes. "She's Sydney." He says and her face expression totally changes. "Sh- she is Sydney?" Has he told her about me?

"Yes. The girl I love." She shows some pain on her face like it hurt her. "She left you. And honestly? This is her? I don't see nothing great about her! I was expecting a model like girl not this thing!" Anthony grabs her by the arm and takes her outside the apartment. I hear screaming and I chew on my lip, why is there always something standing in our way? Will I ever be happy with him? Like ever?

Anthony comes in, his cheek is red.. She slapped him. "Will she come back?" I ask he shrugs, "I don't think so." I sigh, "Okay well, I guess I should leave." I say walking to the door, he stops me. "Where?" Then I realize I haven't told him about Nick or the apartment, or about the job, and about Alice and that I saw Brittney along with her friends again. It's so much stuff I need to tell him but I don't want to overwhelm him with all the information.

"My apartment." He raises an eyebrow, "You have an apartment?" I nod, "How did you get one?" I hesitate, should I tell him about Nick? "I- I got a job." For some reason I feel strange telling him about Nick. I feel like he's going to think the wrong thing. "Where?"

"The cafe you went to the other day." His mouth forms an 'o'. "So that means you're staying in town?" He asks, "Why would I leave?"

"I don't know, but I don't want you to." He says, "I won't leave you Anthony. This time I mean it." He smiles and walks to me, he hugs me and I have to get on my tippy toes to reach him. It feels like he has grown more. "Sydney," he says as his fingers are massaging my scalp. "Hmm?" I say closing my eyes enjoying his fingers on my head. "Stay the night with me."

I open my eyes and look at him, "I don't mean it like that. I just want you to stay here." He says, I chew on the inside of my cheek. If I don't show up Nick will be worried, "Please."

I look at his deep blue eyes, along with his dirty blonde hair. It's been so long, so long I've been away from him. And it hurts just to think that I've been away three years. "Yes." I say, "Yes?" He repeats, I smile as I think of that phrase. He use to say that a lot. "Yes." I repeat with a smile. A true smile. Not a fake one. A real one.

We lay down on his bed, my head is on his chest and he's playing with my hair. "You know I remember when I craved to sleep with you," I look up to him surprised. "I don't may have sex or anything but I just wanted to lay down with you so bad. I wanted to feel you close to me, I never got the courage to ask you."

"Really?" He nods at my question, "Yes, and now it came true. If I could I would spend every night like this with you." I hug him tight because this doesn't feel real. The fact that we are here together doesn't feel real. Oh, how I missed him.

"I am completely in love with you." he whispers, my chin quivers and I feel a tear fall. "Why are you crying?" He asks wiping my tear. "It feel so unreal to me, that somebody like you loves me. I've always been a nobody and then theres you, and you love me. It seems strange to me that you do cause no one ever did ."

"Oh, Sydney." He says holding me tighter. "I love everything about you and you're my world. I really do believe you're the greatest thing that ever happened to me. You know what I love the most about my life? You." He kisses my forehead and my cheeks flush. I feel like a thirteen year old who has her first crush. I close my eyes and whisper, "I love you too." His heart beats faster and I know he's smiling.
