Saying goodbye to Keir's family was hard to do. Finley even showed up to bid his brother adieu. He didn't speak to me or even look at me and I was perfectly okay with it. After the night before I knew how Finley felt about me. I was glad that the hatred was now out in the open. I knew Keir was still upset about everything, but he tried to hide it as he hugged his older brother goodbye.

Parting away from Cora was next to impossible. She refused to let me go. Keir laughed as he pulled me away from her just as our flight was called.

The flight back felt short and the hours flew by. I took a nap but was still tired and I just wanted my own bed to sleep in. Keir and I enjoyed our time in Ireland. It's always nice to see and spend some time with his family.

I walked into school Tuesday morning for the first day back after the week long vacation. As soon as I walked into the threshold I was pulled into a bear hug. I smelled the cologne and rolled my eyes.

"Larry, you can let me go." I laughed.

"No! I was so scared something happened to you! You never answered my calls or texts." He ended up letting me go and I gave him an apologetic look. I don't get cell service in Ireland. But I couldn't tell him where I was.

"I'm sorry. I was busy all week. Went to visit my boyfriends family."

"As long as you're okay." He smiled.

I turned and began walking towards the lockers, where Lance was waiting. "How was it?" he asked winking.

"Nice little get away," I responded as I opened my locker to retrieve the books I would need.

"Uh huh. Did anything spectacular happen?" He pushed.

I turned to look at his smirking face. "You're such a pervert."

"We'll that's normally what happens on a," He paused and looked around. Larry was lockers away struggling to pull his bag out of his locker. "Honeymoon. Did it happen?"

"That's for me to know and for you to never find out." I challenged.

"He'll tell me."

"He won't."

"Guys talk in the locker room."

"You l.." I started to call him a liar but was cut off my Brad and Gemma coming towards us, hand in hand, quickly with looks of determination on their faces.

"Mr. O'Connor is married!" Gemma squealed.

"What?" Larry asked.

"He's married. He got married sometime during the holiday. We saw the ring!"

"Rat snacks there goes my chances." Larry huffed.

Lance looked at me and tried not to smile, then he turned his attention to Larry. "He already said he was straight."

"I could have changed that!"

"What the hell is on your hand!" Brad shouted making me jump. Before I could answer him he snatched my left hand up and brought it to his face. "You got married!"

"Quiet down, Dumbo. Don't inform the whole school." Lance growled.

"When? To who!?" He asked. The bell for homeroom went off making me sigh with relief. Brad groaned in frustration and looked at me. "Lunch."

"You better spill the beans." Gemma giggled as she took Brad's hand and walked towards her homeroom.

"I'm screwed aren't I?" I asked Lance, who nodded his head vigorously.

"They're going to put two and two together. He got married during vacation, and you suddenly show up here with a wedding ring on." I leaned back and hit my head a few times against the lockers behind me. "Come, I'll walk you to homeroom."

We walked down the hall a little ways. Before I walked into the room I pulled out my phone and sent a text to Keir.

'They saw the ring! They know somethings up. We're screwed. HELP ME!'

I sent it and walked into the room.

A/N: Sorry for the delay, and for the short chapter. I'm a little stuck but I'll get myself out of this predicament. :)
