With You

Requested by chesters_wifey!

"Leah, you can't just keep dating the two of them. You need to pick one eventually" Rebecca scolded her friend. "You're just playing with both of their hearts at this point. You have to choose."

"I know, I... I just don't know who to pick. They're both so perfect!" Leah sighed. She'd heard this talk from her friends several times.

"Leah, you have to." Rebecca's boyfriend, Brad interjected.

"It's not fair to either of them." Rebecca stated. "You have to choose soon. I mean, come on. You have two of the world's most sexiest and successful men waiting on you hand and foot because they both want a shot at you. You need to pick one, or you're gonna lose them both."

Leah was growing irritated. She knew she had to choose between the two, and soon, but Rebecca being on her case about it every day was really not helping.

"You know what? Pick one, you better tell me who by tomorrow morning. If you can't do that, I'm out." Rebecca sighed, walking off with Brad, who flashed a Leah a sympathetic look.

"Reb, wait, what?" Leah called after her friend. "You can't be serious."

"Oh I'm serious." Rebecca glared at her friend, "Just pick one. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Rebecca stomped away.

Leah had spent the entire day weighing her options, and she still came up empty. When she thought about Mike, her heart fluttered as she pictured his most adorable moments in her head, and the little drawings he would give her. But when she thought about Chester, her heart still fluttered. He was so adorable too, her little Chaz. He always sang her little songs as he passed by. It was truly an impossible decision.

As she opened Mike's bedroom door, she finally made up her mind. She couldn't do without him, he was the one. As she spotted him, cuddling up against a teddy bear, she couldn't resist him. She crawled into bed beside him, listening to his quiet snoring and running her fingers through his hair.

"Mike." She whispered. "Mike, wake up please." She gently shook him until he woke up.

"Leah?" He rubbed his eyes as he sat upright. "What's going on?"

"I've made my decision." Leah announced.

"What decision?" Mike asked, growing increasingly worried by the second.

"I've decided which of you two I will break up with and which one I will stay with." Leah admitted.

"I knew it." Mike slumped back down, sadness written all over his face.

"Knew what?" Leah asked.

"I knew you'd pick Chester over me, I mean he's Chester, why wouldn't you?" Mike began to sob. Leah felt her heart shatter with each year that fell from Mike's eyes.

"I didn't pick Chester over you." Leah wrapped Mike into a tight hug. "Mike, I picked YOU." Leah felt him nuzzle up against her as he hugged her tightly.

She was happy with her decision.

"M-Mike, I need to go get into some pajamas real quick, I'll be right back." Leah squirmed away from Mike, who frowned.

"Okay, see you in a few minutes then." Leah opened his bedroom door and crept out, passing Chester's room as she walked. He stood in the doorway, a frown upon his face. She knew he heard everything, but she didn't want to talk to him right now.

She crept to her room, which was on the opposite side of the tour bus, so that she could change quick before going back to Mike. Little did she know she'd been followed.

She heard light knocking on her bedroom door, so she opened it, revealing a sad Chester. She sighed, knowing she would probably have to talk to him now, and that she'd absolutely shatter his heart, which she didn't want to do. It was hard enough to make the choice, but she had to.

"Leah, can we talk for a second?" Chester asked.

"Yeah, sure. Come in, I was just about to change but I'll wait a sec." Leah gestured for him to come inside. As he did, he pushed Leah up against her bedroom door as it closed, ferociously attacking her lips with his own. Leah gave in for a moment, before pulling away. "What are you doing?" She asked.

"I had to kiss you one more time. I already heard you and Mike, I'm sorry." Chester stepped away from the girl, deep sadness evident in his eyes. "I'm glad he has you, Leah."

"Chester, I-" Leah began to speak, but she didn't know what to say.

"Why him? Why can't you just be in a relationship with the both of us?" Chester asked.

"I-I had to choose. It wasn't fair to either of you." Leah sighed.

Chester stepped closer to Leah, and she felt herself shiver at the close proximity the two were at now. "Pick me, Leah, even if it has to be a secret. I can't live without you." Chester gazed into her eyes, he was letting her see everything now, how much he truly cared for her.

Leah nodded. And now I'm back to square one.
