"Pete" I said "This isn't right"

"I don't care" he said.  I followed him downstairs. 

"No" I grabbed his wrist.  "Pete listen.  What we did.  It was amazing.  What we have is even better.  But this isn't right"

"So what're you saying?" he asked.  I looked down at my feet.

"I'm saying you need to marry Jenn.  Because that's what's right"

"Patrick" he grabbed my cheek but I pushed his hand away.  "B-but I love you"

"No you don't.  You loved the idea of me.  Someone closer to your own age that actually cares.  But how can you love me?  After three weeks?  And I'm so hard to love.  You have to marry Jenn"

"Patrick"

"No.  I don't wanna cry anymore Pete.  Just do what's right and marry her" I looked up at his beautiful face.  I wiped a tear off his cheek and pressed a kiss to it.  He whimpered as I walked away.  It didn't feel right at all.  But I knew that what I had done was right.

Brendon opened his front door immediately.  He looked down at me.

"You did it didn't you?" he asked. 

"It hurts" I whispered.

"Awh Patrick" he pulled me into a tight hug.  I sobbed on his chest and started to bawl my eyes out.

"It hurts so bad!" I yelled.

"It takes a really strong person to do what you did Patrick" he said.  He pet my hair gently "You're a strong person"

"I think I love him" I whimpered.

"Yeah" he mumbled "I know you love him"
