I decide to stay home all day wondering if I should end this whole thing with Keaton since I feel like I'm leading him on. I just don't feel right going on with this when I know he likes me or as he said falling in love with me. I like Keaton but do I like him enough to go on with this and express my feeling for him. I lay on my bed with my feet in the air as I think. my options are:

1. Tell Keaton how I feel

2. End the whole thing

3. Just stop talking to him

4. Tell John that it was all a lie

I know the fourth one would never happen, but it needs to right? I just can't believe today it makes a month that me and Keaton has been fake going out or have we? I hear my phone vibrate on the table next to me, I reach for it to see Keaton's name on the screen. He hasn't texted me since I told him ok after he said he thinks he is falling in love with me.

From Keaton: Meet me at the mall in 20 minutes I have to talk to you

Talk to me? Is he going to tell me he can't do this anymore and he wants more from me? So many thoughts rush through my head as I grab my keys and rush out the door and straight to my car.

"Where are you going?" I turn around to see John standing beside his car.

"To the mall" I say quickly, I get in my car close the door and head toward the mall.

I pull into the parking lot beside Keaton's car. So many thoughts go through my mind, I knew something was going on as John pulled behind me. I rushed out of the car, as I opened the doors to the mall I ran into someone.

"Kory why are in such a rush?" I look up from the floor to see Keaton looking down at me.

"Nothing I just didn't want to be late" I say grabbing his stretched out hand.

As I finally get to my feet, Keaton keeps his hand intertwined with mine as we walk. I don't know what to say and Keaton seems a little distracted.

"Kory" Keaton stops and turns to look at me.

Before Keaton could go on with what he wanted to say, a giant group of people start to surround us. I look at everything that goes to the same college as me start to get closer.

"Well, well" I look around wondering who is talking. My eyes finally land on the one person I knew would do this, John.

"What do you want John?" Keaton asks holding on to my hand ever so tightly.

"Wow nothing really I just want to make the truth known" John was now in front of me. His blue eyes staring me.

"John please don't do this" I beg letting go of Keaton's hand.

"Do what Kory?"

He can't do this not now, not here in front of everyone.

"Kory is there something you want to everyone about you and Keaton?"

I shake my head trying to avoid everything.

"Kory don't be shy" John begins to laugh "come tell us."

I step back away from him, Keaton stands frozen in his spot not knowing what to say.

"Fine, if you wouldn't say anything then I will!" John stands beside me.

"Ok you guys know how Kory and Keaton have been dating? Well guess what it was all a lie" I feel my heart break and my heart rate quickens.

Everyone around us start to gasp and whispers, I don't know I'm going to do. Keaton looks at me and then back to John.

"Ok guys the show is over!" I hear Wes yell walking up to the group, soon enough the giant group soon fades.

"Kory, it doesn't have to be fake anymore. That's why I wanted to meet you at the mall to see if you wanted actually make this real-"

"Don't listen to him Kory, I know you still love me and if you didn't you have seriously told me to leave you alone a long time ago. I'm the one you belong with" John looks at me, I see the truth behind his eyes, I do love John, but what about Keaton. He makes me feel alive and wanted.

"Who will it be?" Keaton asks.

"Please don't make me choose" I beg.

"You have too, Kory!" John yells taking me aback.

I look at Keaton who keeps his eyes locked on mine. I take a deep breath before walking towards the malls doors not even looking back. I hear my name being called but I can't turn back not now.
