A/N- Thank you for over 3k views guys! You're amazing! Also, I'm sorry if I don't respond to comments or messages, my Wattpad has been acting up. It's hard enough to write chapters. Anyways, onto the story...

*Garroth's POV*

I knocked on the door, holding a present for Gene in my hand. Why was I giving a gift to my ex-boyfriend, and enemy? To piss off my current boyfriend, that's why.

The door swung open, to reveal Zenix on the other side. He looked me up and down, his eyes narrowed, and his arms crossed. We stayed in silence for a moment.

"What are you doing here, Ro'Meave?" Zenix snarled.

"I've come to give a present to Gene. To say, I'm sorry, for Laurance beating him," I nervously chuckled.

Zenix rose an eyebrow at me, still glaring. "It's eleven at night."

"What better time than now? S-so, Zenix, may I see Gene? Just for a little bit?"

"Whatever," Zenix rolled his eyes, stepping out of the way.

I silently thanked him, walking inside. Instantly, a pungent smell filled the air, making me feel light-headed. I shook it off, though, watching Zenix walk over to their staircase.

He gestured me to follow him, and so I did. Zenix lead me down hallways, before stopping in front of a door. He crossed his arms, glaring at me.

"Please, take your time. It's not like I have anything better to do," Zenix sarcassically stated.

I rolled my eyes, lightly knocking on the door. After a brief moment of uncomfortable silence, the door swung open.

Gene stood on the other side, his eyes widened after seeing me. He had a bandage on his cheek. Then, my eyes trailed to his chest. Yes, he was...shirtless. A bruise was forming on his chest, where Laurance had punched him.

Damn, Laurance really did a number on him.

"Garroth? You're the last person I'd expect to be here," Gene rose an eyebrow, leaning against the doorway.

"I-I wanted t-to give you an apology g-gift. I-I'm sorry Laurance t-took the situation, way out of proportion," I sighed, holding out the gift.

Gene gave me a small, genuine, smile, before accepting the gift. He looked at Zenix, giving him a small nod.

"Thanks, Garroth. Say, if you don't mind...I think now is a great of time as any, to talk about what's been going on. Do you think you can spare a few minutes?" Gene held his smile.

Don't do it, Garroth. He's already hurt you twice.

But, maybe this can explain everything...

"S-sure," I smiled back.

"Great! Come on in," Gene moved out of the way, gesturing me in. I nodded, stepping into his room.

His sense of room decor hasn't changed since Middle School, huh?

"Garroth..," Gene sighed, closing the door. He walked over to his bed, patting the area next to him. I was hesitant, but I eventually, gingerly sat beside him. "I really am sorry, about everything. Even events from today..."

He hasn't been calling me "Ro'Meave"...

"Gene...do you actually mean it this time..?" I bit my lip, holding my hands together.

"Yes...I meant it before, too. But, you didn't give me a chance to explain myself. All of that other stuff, was just pure joking around- or mindless flirting," Gene sighed. "But, this time, I definitely don't expect you to forgive me..."
