Drake's P.O.V.
--------------
I call Skylar as soon as I wake up.
"Hey baby. Can you come over? I have something to give to you."
"Yeah I'm on my way now." She replies.
I grab the box off my desk. I got Skylar something to put on the chain I gave her so it looks more like some thing she would wear. The pendant is a think silver disk about an inch in diameter. On the back the words "Cet Amour Est la Nôtre" are engraved.
Skylar knocks on my door. I hold the box behind my back and open the door for her.
"Pick a hand, Sky.'' I say, sounding like an over excited toddler. "Uhh, right?" She says, pointing at my right hand which is the only hand behind my back.
I hand her the box. She carefully lifts the lid. Her eyes go wide when she see's what in the box.
"Drake. It's beautiful." she whispers as she flips it over. "Oh my god. You got it engraved."
"Take off my chain so we can put it on there." I tell her. She motions for me to unfasten the clasp. When it's off I slide the pendant on, and put it back around her neck.
"I gotta go, Drake. My mom sent me a text and she needs me to go home." Skylar says.
"Okay babe. Call me later." I reply as she walks out the door.

Ping Ping Ping. I check my texts, expecting one from Skylar but it's not. The number isn't in my contacts. But I know who it is.
Text from Unknown Number: Hey, can we talk?
Drake: Nope.
Text From Unknown Number: Why not boo bear?
Drake: Because I have a girlfriend.
Text From Unknown Number: Didn't stop you the first time.
Drake: I was drunk and stupid, okay? And we only kissed. Nothing more.
Text From Unknown Number: Don't deny it.
Drake: I don't have time for this, Mia.
I switch my phone to "off" and toss it on my bed.
I met Mia the summer between Sophomore and Junior year at a beach party. Skylar was supposed to come with me, but she caught mono and was on bed-rest. She demanded I have a fun night with the guys.
My best friend Trent had handed me a beer, and when it was a gone, another one. And another one. And another one. I got drunk pretty fast, but everybody else was so I blended in.
I then saw a pretty blonde girl standing by the bon fire. Being as drunk as I was, avoiding the red Solo cups that littered the ground was a huge quest. When I had finally made my way over to her, another guy was talking to her. Right after he walked away somebody got the speakers to work, and crappy hip-hop music busted out of them.
We danced right next to each-other, our bodies almost, touching. Then she stood on her tip-toes and kissed me. I could have pulled away, broken the kiss, but I didn't. I'm so ashamed of myself.
I decide it's time to tell Skylar what happened. I love her so much it hurts to keep this from her. If it ends us, at least it was because I needed to tell the truth.
I turn my phone back on and call her.
"Hey Drake." Skylar says.
"Baby I need to talk to you."
"Yeah?"
"Remember when you had mono?"
"Yeah."
"And I went to the beach party?"
"Yep."
"Well, I know this doesn't make it okay, nothing will. I'm so ashamed of myself. I understand if you never want to talk to me again, but I got drunk... and I kissed another girl. But I swear it didn't mean anything. I swear it was because I was drunk. I don't know why I did it."
"Just saying it didn't mean anything doesn't help Drake. You can't just kiss other people and it'll be okay because 'it didn't mean anything'. How am I supposed to know that our relationship means something? I'm really pissed Drake. How would you feel if I go kiss that Australian guy, huh? Would it be okay because it didn't mean anything?" She screams into the phone.
"But I-" She hangs up on me. I try calling her back a total of nine times. She lets the phone ring a few times before sending it to voice mail, so I know she can see I'm calling.
I walk over to my wall. I square up and punch it as hard as I can. My fist never stops, it goes right through the wall. Chunks of plaster fall at my feet. They remind me of Skyler and I. In pieces, but still there. If I try hard enough I can put it back together.
