I avoided talking to Toby for the next few days. It was difficult, considering we live together. I just didn't want to bring up what happened between us. I respect that he's not ready, but I am. I want this more than anything. I want to be married to him. I want to carry his children. I don't know if I can wait.
"Babe, you can give me the silent treatment for as long as you want, but my feelings aren't going to change."
He sounded hurt. I had to give in.
"I'm sorry. I don't care if we have kids or not. I love you." I say, bringing him in for a long hug. It suddenly seemed like being angry at him was stupid. I could never be angry at him. One look into his crystal blue eyes and all my troubles faded away.

We laid in bed that night, admiring each other. I traced my thumb along his jawline, and he ran his fingers through my hair. "I love you." He said, kissing my temple.
"I love you more."
"I don't think that's possible."
I laughed a little and kissed him over and over again until we finally fell asleep.

I visited Melissa a few times. She's still heartbroken about Henry. Luckily, Derek has been keeping her company.
"Melissa, I know it sucks, but you made the right decision." I say to her. I know my presence is making her feel worse. She doesn't need me right now. Derek agrees that it's better if it's just the two of them.
I liked Derek. He seemed to be just what Melissa needed. A nice, smart, not-too-bad-looking guy. He obviously likes her... A lot. I can't even imagine the pain he felt when he found out that Melissa was pregnant.
With Toby at school and Melissa wanting to be left alone, I had no one to talk to. Aria was busy with studying... or a boy, or something. Hanna was too busy shopping her troubles away. I was left alone.
Which led me to do something I knew I would regret doing.
