Six's POV

I'm jealous.

Pure and simple as that. I'm jealous of Marina and John. I don't know why, but I am. I have Sam, and I love Sam. At least I think I do. I was sure that my heart belonged to Sam when I woke up this morning. But then I saw John, and all the feelings I had for him before, seemed to bubble up and resurface. I am Six. Killer of Setrakus Ra. I don't get involved in love triangles. That's what my head says. But my heart is screaming something else.

As much as I don't want to hurt Sam I don't think I can continue to be with him.

I need to talk to John.

I go to his room and see him writing something in a book.

He hasn't seen me yet. Curiosity overtakes me, and I go invisible and walk into the room. I creep up behind him making sure to tiptoe.

I take a peek over his shoulder, and read what he's writing.

It's a poem for Marina. It's beautiful. It makes me wish John had written it for me.

" That's an invasion of privacy," John says to no one.

John knew I was here the whole time.

I laugh and turn visible.

" How do you do that," I ask him.

" The same way Ella does," he replies.

" I'm sorry John," I apologize, " I just got curious."

" It's cool," he says, not looking up from his notebook, " so do you like it?"

" It's truly beautiful," I tell him sincerely, " Marina's gonna love it."

" Oh, I don't show them to her," he says, " it just helps me express my feelings."

" Oh," is all I can say.

I'm ashamed, but I'm secretly happy that he hasn't shown it to Marina.

" Can you show them to me," I ask.

He looks hesitant at first but then slowly hands me the notebook.

" They're not very good," he says somewhat self-consciously.

He lied.

These are probably some of the most heartfelt poems I've ever read.

" John do you love Marina," I ask.

He looks like a deer caught in headlights. Uncomfortable that I put him on the spot.

Romantic feelings start to overwhelm me that I can't control. I lean forward and press my lips to John's. I pour all of my emotion and passion into that kiss.

John suddenly grabs my shoulder and pushes me off of him.

" Six, what the hell are you doing," he yells, " Marina is my girlfriend, and to answer your question, yes, :-*I love her."

" John, I'm sorry," I squeak, " but I love you too."

" I need some air," he says.

He storms out of his room, leaving me sitting on the floor, thinking about what an idiot I am.

You had to kiss him, Six. I mentally kick myself. I just ruined so many relationships because of 1 kiss. I ruined my friendships with John and Marina, and I also ruined my romantic relationship with Sam.

Sam.

Oh, my God. He's gonna be crushed. Sam loved me with all his heart and I just shattered it. I'm going to miss laughing with him. I'm going to miss having secret conversations with Marina. And most of all I'm gonna miss John having my back.

I wish I could turn back time.
