"We're still really good friends and care about each other, that'll never go away. We just decided to go our separate ways."

I watched the interview on my couch, fidgeting with my rings, with Damon beside me, listening to Noah speak to the reporter.

"So you two had a pretty clean breakup? There were a lot of rumors that she cheated on you, are you saying that's the reason for your split?" The interviewer asked.

My body stiffened and guilt resided in my throat. He never did tell anyone about magic. Damon squeezed my leg, a reassuring movement that he's still with me, no matter what.

Noah shook his head. "No, that's not what I'm saying and it's not true, you shouldn't believe everything you hear. I still care about her, she still cares about me, we always will, neither one of us holds any grudges against each other or anything. I wish her the best, just as she does to me. We love each other and want each other to be happy, no matter how that happiness is achieved. That's all I'm going to say on the subject. Thank you."

The image of Noah in the interview flickered off the screen and just the reporter was left. "There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, after months of speculating, Noah Schnapp finally confirms his breakup with actress Kathy Geller back in September after spending the past three years together, and claims they'll always remain as friends. See you next—"

With that, Damon turned the television off and threw the remote to the side, letting me bury my head in his chest. He stroked my hair gently, placing a light kiss on my forehead.

"Are you alright, love?"

I sighed as I pulled my head up to look at him. "Fine. I just hated hurting him, you know? I love him. He's one of my really good friends."

"It's been months, he'll be fine. He's young and famous, he'll find someone else soon enough." He shrugged.

I laughed lightly. "You sound jealous."

He gave out a single grunt.

I rolled my eyes and tangled my hand in his hair, turning his head to look at me. "You shouldn't be. I'm yours. I love him but I'm in love with you, no one else."

"We're each other's." He corrected, making me smile. "What time did you say that your family's coming?"

I groaned at the reminder and looked up at the clock to check the time. "5:00."

He smirked at me, mischief evident in his eyes. "So we have time."

"Time to... woah." He took my thigh and quickly picked me up to sit on top of him. Immediately, he leaned in and sucked on my shoulder, biting it gently. "Damon, stop. We have like fifteen minutes."
