Sorry it took so long to upload yet the chpater's so short >.< Hope you enjoy this chapter! Oh yeah, btw, do you think Cecilia should end up with Griffin or Luke? I got two ways to end the story, please help me decide!!! 

................................................................................................................................ 

Cecilia: I fidgeted nervously. My vast room I still wasn’t comfortable in just made me more nervous. I tugged at the tips of my hair, fumbled with my hands, all the while pacing and thinking. I could just ask Luke to come, but that was easier said than done. Almost everything seemed to be easier said than done. I flopped onto my bed and rolled around. Eventually, I decided to ask Mama for help on this decision.

Slipping down the banister I saw Mama sitting on a chair in the kitchen, reading a newspaper. I knew she had to go to work soon so I decided to ask her directly. As I sat down beside me Mama looked up from her newspaper. I grinned, trying my best to look innocent for as long as I could. It’s not like I was doing anything wrong, this just made me nervous. “Mama? You know how we can move to Zeron?” I asked, placing my hands on the table and looking up at her with big eyes. She raised an eyebrow, questioning me.

“Well of course I do. What do you want?”

“Oh, well… Griffin asked me if I wanted to go to Zeron with him and…” I ended trailing off.

“You have a boyfriend or something? Why didn’t you tell me?” Mama asked flatly. She didn’t seem to have paid attention to what I was implying. She let out a loud sigh. “Hmm… You used to be so cute with Luke,” She eyed me closely, “I do wonder whatever happened to him?” I didn’t respond.

“So should I go with him? Would you and Papa go too?” I asked, going back to the original subject. She placed her hands on top of mine.

“Honey, I’d really like to but I can’t, what about the research? There are too many projects and I’m not even in the same league as those Zerians.” Mama pointed out.

“But there are people like us who are going! It can’t be that different! ... Most likely,” I protested.

“Perhaps,” Mama said slowly. She took a sip of her coffee. “I need to discuss this with your father.” She decided. “And you need to decide if you really want to go,” she added, looking at me over the rim of her coffee mug.

So I was kind of hoping Mama would make the decision for me. I shrugged and went back to my room. I leaned over the balcony, letting my arms dangle. Did I really want to go? Of course I did, but there were some things I would miss so bad back here on Earth. I could always go back to visit though, right? There were too many questions in my head, and way too little answers.

If Papa decided to go, then I would have to go anyway, so instead of dying from thinking too much, I ended up relying on whatever Papa’s decision was. I quickly went down the stairs again. Peering out I saw Mama wasn’t in the kitchen anymore, she had probably gone to work. I grabbed my coat and hurried outside.

Kat:    Laying in bed I stared at the incredibly low ceiling. So Nat obviously still existed, it just didn’t seem like it. He was going to Zeron and all that but what were that chances I would see him? I flipped over so I was on my stomach. I still got this fluttering feeling whenever I saw him though I had long realized what a jerk he was.

There was still a clear picture of him in my mind and just imagining him dazzled me. I eyed my phone cautiously, as if the call were a fake. The chances he would call me were too little, after all, he was the jerk who dreadfully rejected me. No matter how much my heart would ache, I knew I should hate him. I should hate him. It was funny how this one guy was so amazing to me, considering there were so many others who had entered my life.

I laughed at myself, at how stupid I was. For all I knew, who could’ve just called everyone he knew. I laughed a little more, feeling better that this confusing matter was resolved. That was totally stupid of me to take it personally. I stopped laughing suddenly. How the heck did he figure out my number? I scrolled through my past phone calls and added Nat’s number to my contacts.

Cecilia: “Hiya Luke, are you going to go to Zeron?” I asked. Luke turned around. He smiled at me, but it seemed pushed. Luke was never like himself these days. If he hated me or acted weird, I didn’t blame him. It was all pretty much my fault anyway. He shrugged.

“Well, I don’t really want to talk right now, see you around Cecilia,” he muttered, giving another pushed smile and walking off. My shoulders slumped. This is why loving your best friend is so hard. Even if I didn’t love him anymore. Love can make people go crazy, be stupid, act weird… I hate love. I tugged at the tips of my hair, glaring at Luke’s back. I really hope he would get over it.

I strolled along the sidewalk, glaring at the ground. Why did all this have to happen to me?
