"Lex," Kendall whines.

"What?" She asks her eyes shooting up from her magazine.

"What is love?" Kenny asks as if it's the most important question in the world. 

"What is love..." Alex repeats before looking at me as if I had all the answers because of Noah.

"Love is when you really care about somebody. It's when you want to spend the rest of your days with that person and have that person's kid. Love is when you'd take a bullet for that person. Love is the closest thing to magic and purity we have in this world. Love is simply love," I explain.

"Do you love Noah?" Kenny asks me.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

"Yea, I do," I lie and not because I want to, but because I'm gonna marry Noah one day. It's what my family wants and I'm gonna marry him. I have to marry him.

"What if somebody else that you really cared about loved him?" Lex asks.

"I don't know," I shrug. "I'd figure it out then. What if they loved him more?"

"Well then they'd be taking your property," Kendall states as she stands up and pulls out a small note. "I, Dylan Rose Jueggers swear if anybody else touches my property I will literally kill 'em. I don't put up with anybody's dirty fingers on my stuff and I don't mean material items. I mean my future boyfriends and husband. Nobody can touch my stuff. Signed Dylan Rose Jueggers."

"Okay," I shurg. "I guess I'd kill her."

"You don't seem to be to involved with talking about Noah," Lex points out.

I look at her, "I'm just tired."

"No. You don't love him," Lex states before yelling. "Oh my god! You don't love Noah! You don't love him!"

I throw a pillow at her angrily, "shut up, I'm pretty sure Tulsa can hear you."

"Is it about that boy in Tulsa?" Kendall asks.

Flashback inside of a Flashback

"Well Rosie," the really cute guy Keith laughs. "I dare you to go into the lake butt naked."

I look at him as if he's crazy, "I'll do a lot of things, but not that. Sorry Keith.

"What if I kiss you?" He asks smirking like crazy.

I can't help, but blush. I like Keith. I like him a lot, but what about Noah. I look at him and smile slightly, "whatever."

"Yes, I got the girl and she's skinny dipping," he hoots. Keith is about sixteen and I'm only thirteen. He told me about his friend Sodapop, he's fourteen, so are his other friends Steve and Johnny, but Johnny doesn't act fourteen he acts more like Ponyboy who's eleven. Darry's the oldest at eighteen, but he's really cool apparently and then there's a guy named Dallas who's also eighteen, that's who Lex is hanging out with. Kendall's hanging out with some other boy outside of Keith's friends. He wants me to meet them, but I'm only staying for two more days so I can't.

I playfully rolls my eyes as I walk away stripping off my clothes and jumping into the freezing cold lake where I shiver. As I walk out I grab the towel Keith left for me and dry off before slipping back into my clothes. As I walk back as I ask him, "happy?"

"Nah, I didn't have my camera ready," he laughs as he holds up a camera.

"Whatever....Two-bit," I joke making up a random nickname to describe him.

"What did you call me?" He asks.

"Two-bit, because you have to put your two sense into everything," I inform him smiling.  "Now, where's my kiss?"

"Right here Princess Rosie," he smiles before leaning in. Our soft lips collide and sparks go off. Our lips move together and before I know it he's nibbling on my bottom lip. I open up for him and let him take dominance. It's fantastic! Even though Noah and I have been dating for three months, he's never kissed me before, making this my first kiss. I'm happy though. 

As we pull apart I smile slightly at him biting my lip, "wow."

"Yes, I know," he smiles. "So, Rosie I was wondering if maybe you'd like to be my girl?"

I look up at him with sorry eyes, "Keith, you're a sweet guy and if I was single or lived around here I would, but I live in Jersey and I'm dating a sweet guy names Noah. I'm sorry, I wish you were my boyfriend because, we have a much stronger connection than Noah and I do, but it wouldn't be possible. You don't even know my name."

"Wha-" is he manages to get out.

"I'm sorry...Bye Two-bit," I say as I kiss his forehead. "I'll never forget you and I hope you don't forget me."

He puts his finger on his lips as I walk away from him tears in my eyes. I hear him mumble, "I'll never forget you either Rosie."

Flashback inside of flashback over.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

"No," I lie. "That's not it."

"Whatever," Lex rolls her eyes as she returns to her magazine.

"You like that Two-bit guy," Kendall replies as she rolls over in her bed closing her eyes.

I think I love him....
