I opened the door for Melanie and Cole. "Are you alright?"

"The police haven't found anything..." Cole responded while nervously twirling the hair on his head. "I have to meet with someone tomorrow as well."

"Just use our car," Dylan was leaning against the kitchen bench, looking like nothing happened. Where as for me, I felt nothing but guilt.

"So are you not going to be home tomorrow?" I asked hoping that he wouldn't, only so I could straighten things out with Dylan.

"No I'll be away all day and moms going to visit a friend," a tsunami of stress crashed over Cole as he realised he couldn't take Dylan's car.

I offered Cole to take my car, and that's just what he did. Cole grabbed my hand and took me to bed. I turned around and gave Dylan a look that read 'don't tell' as I shadowed away into the hallway."Cole...why didn't you tell me about your anger issues?"

"I don't know, it's not something I like to talk about..."

"You could've told me..."

"I know, and I will next time."

"Well I'm glad that your getting over them." I rested my head on his chest and began to fall asleep, but was woken with a reminder that I had just made out with Dylan.

The next morning I woke up later than usual after taking forever to fall asleep. Cole had already left and Melanie was just walking out the door. I walked out onto the porch where Dylan was. "Hey..."

"Morning." I stood behind Dylan in awkward silence.

"Can we talk?.."

"What about?" Dylan knew exactly what about. I could tell he didn't want me to be around him for the moment, but he didn't have a choice.

"About that drive home, your acting like nothing happened, how can you do that!?"

"I aM aN aCtOr..."

"I'm serious here, how do you not feel guil-"

"I do ok!" I jumped as high as ever, "...I just don't want Cole to know what happened either..."

I knew I had feelings for both Cole and Dylan. Even though I was with Cole, I couldn't help but think about the fact that Dylan was also a good part of my life too now. I sat down next to him, put my hand on his shoulder and pecked him on the lips. Cole had just been the most caring anyone ever has to me, and for that very reason I couldn't let him go.
