Andrea's POV:
He hasn't called for a month. I haven't seen him for a month. After his visit 2 months ago we seemed better, but now we're back to the bad part. Why does he keep doing this to me? I don't want to think he's cheating again. I don't think it would suprise me if he was.

I've stopped cutting. It's not for him, it's for me. I need to see if all of this shit I'm going through is worth it in the end. I need to see how my life is going to turn out, if all of the pain I go through is worth it. I wasn't trying to kill myself, but if I did I don't think I would've cared.

My phone rings. I have no more hope that it's Dana trying to talk to me. I don't ever get my hopes up and think it's him. I just know it's not him and it won't be. I answer Alex's call.

"Hey." I answer.

"Still nothing?" She asks.

"Alex I think you know the answer to that. You don't have to ask me that."

"I'm sorry. What are you doing tonight?"

"I don't know probably noth-" I stop mid sentence absolutely stunned.

I feel my phone start to slip out of my hand.

"I'll call you back." I tell Alex.

I hang up the phone and put it down not breaking eye contact. His lips curl up into a smile and he starts to walk towards me.

"Don't." I tell him.

"Babe." He says

"Shut up! Don't call me that. Why are you here?" I ask him

"Andrea."

"Dana."

"We're off." He tells me

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to see you."

I scoff and look out the window.

"Do you honestly expect me to believe that? After a month of no talking absolutely no contact for no reason. Just because you decided not to put effort again."

"I love you." He tells me

"Don't pull that shit. 2 months ago you came here to tell me you cheated on me and I forgave you. I believed that things would be better. That would we would be better."

"I know I'm sorry. I was so busy and Will left the band and we were on tour, I just got caught up in it all I guess."

I stare at him. He sits in front of me and looks at me.

"I love you." He says again.

I love when he tells me he loves me, even if he doesn't mean it. I wanted him to love me for so long. He thinks he's in love with me, but soon he's going to realize he's not. I know that he doesn't love me, but I need this. I need him to love me.

"I love you too."

He kisses me. I know he cheated on me again, I just I just need him. I need to stay with him.

He gets up and closes the door making sure it's locked. He comes over to the bed and hovers over me. He presses his lips to mine and I let him.

"Hey." I say to Alex on the phone.

"Hey."

"He's here."

"I kind of figured. So what are you doing tonight?"

"I don't know, I wanna go to a party, but I don't want to go anywhere."

"Have one at your house. Where are your parents?"
