ACIS' POV

I got out of the house and locked the door. I hoped in my car and head out to OSS.

I got in my office and did my usual work. Still, no signs of Des. However, I'm suspecting the shootout from last night's party is related to him. Oss though, think otherwise, the suspect got away but the good thing is everybody is safe, but I was not so lucky.

I look through the blinds of my office and saw Harry in his place, just sitting down, with one of agents talking to him. Then from the corner, I see Jeremy walking towards my office. I sat back down and pretended I was busy, then he came in. I look up to him and gave him a nod. He sat on the chair infront of my desk and I focused my attention to him.

"What's up, Jeremy?" he smiled. "Oh yeah, uhhm, are you feeling okay? I mean, you got shot real good and are you okay now?" he stuttered. I nodded.

"Yeah, I am now. Thanks. Why?"

"So, yeah. I was thinking, are you busy later?" he asked. I thought for awhile, then I shook my head, he smiled. "Great, uhhm, would you like to come with me tonight? Just gonna walk around, you know, talk here and there...."

I was quite unsure whether to say yes or no. I would love to but I don't know if I should.. But maybe..

I slowly nodded. "Yeah, sure. Of course, tonight at 8?" he nodded. He smiled and stood up to walk out then I called him. "Hey, is this a date or something?" I asked and he laughed.

"Yeah, its a date or something."

*****************

As we got out of OSS, Jeremy decided to drive and he started to drive to wherever he wanted. An hour later, he stopped and parked the car. I stepped out and looked around to see we are in the park, the same park I went to with Harry. I walked beside him and we started talking.

"Thanks for coming with me, I thought you were busy." he smiled and I just shrugged. "Its fine. I went here before anyway, not that I know were going here." I spoke up and realized what I just said.

"You've been here before?" I awkwardly laughed and nodded. "Yeah-with, uhm, with Harry." Suddenly he turned to me and I just smiled. "Oh. You and Harry. How was it?"

"It was great. Just joked around, I bought him drinks and yeah, walked around and explore." I said with a smiled and he was staring intently at me. "Is there something wrong?" I asked him.

"Nothing, its just, I never thought you'd go out with Harry." he said and I got confused. What's that supposed to mean? "Oh no, we're not dating, its not a date." then he just nodded.

Soon enough, we sat on a bench. Talking about each other and whatever. We were just joking around when it became silent.

"Ace, I know this might be bad timing but there's something I wanna tell you." he said quietly and I nodded. "I like you, Acis. I tried to tell you before but I just can't, cause I thought you liked Harry."

Oh shit.

"But now I know you don't, I just got to say it. I really like you Acis, for so long and I really really want us to be more than friends." he said with much emotion and I just stared at him with no expression. I didn't know what to say. I don't even know what to think.

"Look, Jeremy. I appreciate that you like me, but I cant. I don't think we're meant for each other, we're so different and I'm not right for you." I said. He smiled. "What? Of course you're right for me, we're both agents, we basically know each other for so long, and I know you feel the same for me." he smiled and held my hands. I tried to speak but no words came.

"I love you, Acis." he smiled and I just felt this painful feeling inside me, like guilt.

"I..." I tried to speak and he kept his stare at me. "Don't..." That's when he lost his smile."What?"

"I'm sorry, Jeremy. You're a really good guy, and a very good friend. But, I only love you as a friend, and I'm sorry I cant repay your love..." I said quietly and he let go of my hands. "Do you like somebody else?" he said sadly and looked at me, I nodded.

"It's Harry..." I said silently. And suddenly, I heard his breath hitch. "I'm the one who's always been there for you, not him!" he blurted out and thank God there was no people near us. I felt so guilty, and sad. I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

"I know! But I don't even know why I like him, I just do. And I'm really sorry." he was so angry that he stood up and walked away. I tried calling him but he just kept walking.

**************

I arrive home and opened the door. I didn't bother looking where I was walking and just dropped my bag on the floor.

"Hey..." a low voice welcomed me and when I look up, the last person I wanted to see was there. Harry.

"You look....awful. Where were you?" he asked while sitting on the sofa. "Oh nowhere, just went out with Jeremy.." Okay, my sassy side is appearing. "Really? Well how did it go?"

He seemed uncomfortable with asking, he was looking down, but you know he's paying attention.

"Oh, it's great." I said with fake glee. He cleared his throat and mumbled words. "Oh, well. That's nice." he said.

"Why are you here?" I suddenly snapped. "Well, I was waiting for you to come back to ask you something, but it seems you're not in a good mood. Sorry, I'm gonna go." I just stood there plainly while he stood up and walked past me. I was about to call him back but he closed the door already.

I sighed. I sat on the sofa and rested my head on my hands. Things like these are the ones I'm avoiding, I don't plan on finding somebody and be with that person, I'm perfectly alone. I don't want somebody to love me and just hurt them because I cant be with them. If they love me, I wont be able to repay that love.
