JORDEN'S POV

Knock, knock.

"Did you forget somet-... Julie. What are you doing here?"
"I have to talk to you." She says urgently brushing past me.

"Now's not really the best time. I was gonna call you though."

"I have to get this out while it's on my mind," she says.
"Now's really not a good time." I repeat.
"Please, Jorden. Let me just say this." She says pacing around. "I think we may have broken things off a little too soon. I mean, we all have baggage and if you need me to wait until you figure this whole Laila thing out, that's fine. I can fine." She glimpses over towards the bedroom.

I do the same. She looks over again and darts for the room. "You had sex with her!?" Julie asks running her fingers through her hair.

"You told me to kiss her and I'd know how I felt."

"I said kiss her, not have sex with her!" she looks down at the ground. "Is this...?" she goes over to the trash bin and pulls out the scrapped up bra. I just freeze, unable to say anything.

Then the unexpected happens. Julie comes up laughing. Not like a maniacal laugh or one of those "laugh to keep from crying" types of laugh. Genuine laughter. She places her hands on her stomach and just keeps laughing. Seeing her like this makes me chuckle a little and that chuckle quickly involves to full-blown hysterical laughter. Tears begin flowing out of her eyes a little but her smile is unchanging. When the laughter finally dies down, she still shakes her head a little.

"Well, this not at all how I expected this conversation to go. I have to admit, it's a little embarrassing, coming over with some grand gesture when you've already made your mind up."

"I didn't...yet. I still don't know what I want to do. I love her but the games she plays are exhausting."

"Ah, so you do still love her?" she says matter-of-factly. "You're making progress by saying it out loud."

She sends another smile my way. "Work it out."

"I don't know about all that." I say hesitantly.

"I didn't come all the way over here and embarrass myself for you to not run off into the sunset with the girl that I can't compete with." She says with a much softer smile. She tilts her head to the side a little like she does when she's reflecting on something.

"I'll think on it." I say going over the last few months in my mind.

"Think quickly cause she's calling you now." She says toying my cell phone in her hand. "I think I remember my way out." She says as she tosses it my way. By the time I catch it, she's out of the room and I hear a soft click of the front door.

Laila's POV - P.S. (I'm still not over you) by Rihanna

I sit in the parking lot of Vinny's, which apparently closed at 6pm on Sundays. I've been sitting here so long that a blanket of snow has covered the car to a point that I can barely see outside of my little bubble. I focus on breathing slowly and trying not to hyperventilate. "Stupid, stupid, stupid." I say to myself as I press my forehead against the steering wheel. All of Jorden's letters sit on my lap. I've spent the last 15 minutes reading and rereading and rereading again. I should've written him back. I shouldn't have brought up the Danielle thing. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have gone to his house in the first place. I look down at the letters again.
