Rachael's POV
How could this be happening? Staying? NO, I couldn't be staying!!!
"Sweetie, whats the problem? I thought you want to stay."
"Oh, well I do! ha .. ha.. um, yay..." I tried my best to sound convincing.
"Okay, see my job needed me here, so instead of moving your dad resigned and got a different job that was better!"
"Oh, okay.."
"Well run along, enjoy your summer sweetie."
"Could we go somewhere" I wanted to be anywhere but here.
"Maybe, I would have to check with your dad." That meant a probably not.
"Ok, see you later mom." I was going to stay in my room forever. All of a sudden before I could burst out crying Matt entered my room.
"Wha-"

Matt's POV
"Shhh..." I put my finger on her lips. I was just following what her friends told me to do.
"I have something important to say." I said handing her a red rose symbolizing my love.
"Speak." She said blushing.
"Well, before you leave I want you to know I have never felt this way about anyone. I didn't mean to but-"
"Why?"
"What?" Why would you ask me why?
"Why do you like me?"
"Oh well..." I didn't prepare for this answer, "well, you......."
"Just tell me the truth."
I took a deep breath, "Ok, I don't know exactly but, I just do. I guess it's cause your beautiful, you are always there behind me, and you just care about me and I have no idea why but-"
"Why? I do because I really liked you! Why else would I?"
I laughed, "Well you care about everyone and I admire that. But back to my answer I just think that your an amazing person and I wanted to let you know that I could and would change for you because I feel something deep that I have not felt before. I guess I pushed it away all this time because I never wanted to be in a serious relationship. Do remember when we first met, at the beginning of the year?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well I kinda liked you then but didn't want to because of my rep, and I'm sorry for being a jerk to you."
"Wow. Get out"
"What? I told you the truth! Why shoul-"
"Please, just stop and get out"
I walked out of the room wondering what I ever did. All I could think of was pulling her in for a kiss that we would both never forget and maybe a bit more but instead she told me to go away.
When leaving the house I felt my heart breaking down, now I know how she felt when I did this to her. I got into my car and thought about her the whole time when driving home.

Derek's POV
I was going into Rachael's house when I saw Matt walking out all sad. What was he doing with my girlfriend! He better have not touched her!
"Hey, Rach." I could see her sobbing on her bed.
She wiped her eyes, "Oh, what are YOU doing here?"
"I wanted to see how you were doing. Did Matt touch you, cause I'll beat him up if he did!"
"No, nothing like that." Then she smiled through all her tears, "How could I like someone like that? Matt, he is a jerk just like every other guy."
By this time she was crying in my arms her head pressed against my chest, god I always wanted her this close to me. "Hey, some guys are just like that." I smirked.
She got onto my lap and began showering me with kisses, they were soft and gentle. Her hand was moving up my shirt and I couldn't help but lay her on the bed, then she took off my shirt and I started kissing her neck. I began to unbutton hers but then she whispered, "What are we doing?"
"When you're in love you do these things."
"Could we take it slow Derek, please?"
"You're leaving soon though" and I began kissing her neck again.
"About that, I'm not moving anymore."
I stopped, "What? What happened?"
"You sound disappointed." She giggled as she sat up.
"No, I was just... you're not leaving thats um.. great!" I hope she didn't hear the uncertainty in my voice and by the smile on her face she hadn't. Why wasn't she moving, she was supposed to move! This totally ruined my plan!
"That means I want to date you Derek. You were right yesterday, what you told me during dinner. I want to try you, and I've never done what we were about to do."
"Yeah, we could take it slow if you're not leaving." I fake smiled.
I pulled my shirt back on and she buttoned her shirt up then she sat on my lap, her head against my chest under my neck and we started to talk and laugh. My arms were around her waist and this moment was just amazing, I wanted to stay like this forever. I was in love with her.. but what about Bethany101?
"So, why the change of heart for Matt?"
"I don't want to talk about it." She said caressing my arm.
"If he came here for you, you should give him a chance." I said dumbly.
She jumped off my lap, "Wait, what? I thought you.. but! This makes no sense!"
"In our relationship, if we have one, I want to make sure there are no doubts. If we fall deeply in love I don't want you to ever think of what it would be like with Matt." I lied. I really had to do something before I could get together with Rachael.
"I won't ever thi-"
"Stop, I don't want you to be unhappy with me. You have to sort through your feeling, when you realize Matt is a jerk, you can come to me." I knew Matt would cheat on her, so I would get my fantasy of being with the girl of my dreams. I rushed out of her house before we could say anything or get into a fight.

~ Next Day ~
Matt's POV
"God I got so drunk last night."
"Haha, baby just stay in bed."
"Woah, whaa, what are you doing here?"
"Oh come on, don't tell me you remember nothing!" she said brushing my arm with her fingertips.
"I remember nothing from last night." I said slapping her hand away. Rachael can never know about this!
"Let me remind you." she said as she began kissing me.
"No." I pushed her head away.
I got up and put my boxers on and went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and make myself look good.
When I came out I forgot about the person in my bed and someone knocked on the door asking, "May I come in?"
That voice was so familiar. Rachael. I smiled, opening the door.
"Hi Rachael!" I was so happy, did she rethink getting together with me?
"Matt I wanted to say sorry and could we get--"
"Baby, the bed is getting cold."
Oh no.
