*Landon's POV*
I need to get the fuck out of here. I can't believe this shit. Finally, finally she shows that she wants something more than friendship, and that same day she goes on a date with that asshole! I don't know what he has that I don't! Sure he's got more money, but Caryn's not like that. She wouldn't use a guy for money. But then again I didn't think she'd go on a date the same day we had sex, but she did that too. It's like I don't even know her sometimes, I swear! BEEEEPPPP! "FUCKING ASSHOLE!" BEEEEEEPP! "YEAH I GOT A HORN TOO, BUDDY!" Okay, I need to calm down. I'm gonna wind up getting into an accident or something. This shouldn't piss me off so much. I shouldn't be this angry. I knew it would be a one time thing, I didn't even expect it to be brought up ever again, but I guess you can never have "no strings attached" with someone you're in love with. .....Fuck.. did I just think that? The "L" word?! Caryn, what are you doing to me?...
*Caryn's POV*
"What an asshole!" Travis exclaimed, obviously pissed. He doesn't know what happened today. He doesn't know why Landon is so mad, only I do.
"I said I'd be back... I told him where I was going... I lost track of time... and now he's pissed." Don't cry Caryn. You're strong. Don't cry.
"Since when do people have to answer like that to a friend? He doesn't need to know every detail of your life, Caryn. I don't care if he doesn't like me or not, he should know that you do and he should fucking respect that! Who is he to tell you who you can and can't date?! People like him piss me off!"
"Travis, you really don't know him, or the whole situation.. I have to go after him. I'm sorry. I'll call you, okay?"
"You're just encouraging him to act like this whenever he feels like it. Don't bother calling me, I'll call you. I know you care about him, but don't keep feeding into his shit. Good night." I took the bag of Landon's mini burgers, and Travis walked me to my car. He kissed my forehead as I got in and walked away, wishing me good luck. I'm gonna need it. I got in the car and drove off, headed directly to my house. I got there, and Landon was there, packing up his drawers. "What are you doing?!" I screamed, horrified. This was my worst nightmare.
"I'm packing up my shit and getting out of here. I'm obviously not important enough for you to tell me that you were going on a fucking date the day we had sex!"
"YOU SAID IT WAS A ONE TIME THING! WE WERE NEVER SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN OR LET IT DO ANY OF THIS! We shouldn't have done it, but we did, okay?! It was a mistake. Look at all the problems this is causing!" I took some of his stuff out of the bag he was putting it in and placed it back in the drawer. He wasn't leaving. No matter what I had to do to stop him.
"Caryn, stop unpacking my shit! It's better this way. You can be with your new lover, Travis, and I can be with whoever I want and not have to worry about your approval. You can come and get your shit from my house whenever, and leave your key while your there. Matter of fact, give me your key now." He held out his hand, expecting me to place the key in his hand.
"So this is how you really feel, huh? You wanna throw away ten years of friendship, ten years, for one fuck up? Well that shows a lot about how you feel about me. You wanna take your stuff and act like you never knew me? Fine. Do whatever the fuck you want, because you obviously don't give a shit about me. You want your key? Take it! I don't fucking care. But I hope you look back on this night and know that you fucked up. I came home ready to apologize, I was going to give up Travis for you, even though he's the guy of my dreams, I would've given him up for you. But I came home and found you here, packing your shit and telling me you're leaving. Whatever, do what you want. Just know, that you fucked up, and you lost your best friend over something as stupid as this. Oh, and by the way, here's the burgers you asked for. No tomatoes, just how you like them." I threw the key to his house and his burgers at him, then ran to my room and slammed the door, crying my eyes out. How could he do this to me? I love him so much. At this point, I don't even know what way I love him, in a brother way or the other way, but I know I love him, and I don't know what I'm going to do without him.
*Landon's POV*
I watched her storm away after throwing my key and my burgers at me. I wanted to go after her and apologize and put all my stuff back where it belongs, but I know it's too late for that. I fucked up. That's what she told me. It was one of the last things she told me. I fucked up. I walked over to her bedroom door, prepared to knock, but instead, I listened. I heard her crying hysterically. Something I never wanted to hear, and it's my fault. I can't just beat up the guy that's making her cry this time, because it was me. I made Caryn cry. I couldn't bring myself to knock on the door and apologize, so I walked away. I picked up my stuff and walked out of her house, knowing I'd see her soon, she has to come to my house and get her stuff sometime, right?
