*Alex's POV*
I slammed the door to my room and laid down on the bed. I didn't get it; how could she do this? I wasn't crying; I wasn't sad. I was angry, and I was disappointed. Disappointed that it happened, disappointed that I didn't notice something was wrong, and disappointed that something was wrong. But what was it? She wasn't a cheater. I knew that. There was something going on, but even so, why would she express it in that way? It just wasn't like her. Jamie knocked on the door and stepped inside. "So, it looks like you were right, mate. I'm sorry." I sighed. "Yeah, Jamie, I know. I just… I don't understand why." He sat down on the bed obviously disappointed too with the outcome. "I don't either. But I'm sure she has a reason… I mean what could it have been? Did anything happen?" I shrugged. I had no clue myself; I mean, I thought it was going well. "I don't know. I had her back, but now she's gone again." Jamie looked up; "No, mate. She's not gone. You left her there; she asked you to stay. You just have to go back and get her." But I couldn't. I couldn't just go back there and take her back. I didn't even have an explanation, and I needed to no why. "No, mate. I can't. Not now, at least." I laid back down on the bed. "I think I need some time to myself now, mate. I'll come down in a bit, and we can get dinner." Jamie nodded and walked out, leaving me alone again. I couldn't think about this now. I needed to take a nap and let this whole situation sit. I closed my eyes and kept wondering what it could have been.
*Lillia's POV*
I turned to Danny, tears streaming down my face. "Who was that? What's going on?" I wiped my eyes. "His name is Alex. We're together." His face found less clarity in my answer than he had before. "What? You're dating him? So, why are you here?" I should have known this would blow up in my face. Why did I let Vi convince me to do this? I don’t do this. I never do this, and I shouldn’t have even thought about it. “I’m sorry, Danny.” I sighed. “I’ve screwed everything up. I’ve got to go.” I stood up and walked away, the tears still falling from my eyes as Danny sat confused back at the table.
What was I going to do now? Would Alex even take me back after this? I thought about going back to Danny. Maybe I should just forget about Alex and move on. Danny was a great guy, and he wasn’t upset about any of this. He knew it was just a misunderstanding. Maybe I needed that; less drama, more stability. But I still loved Alex, even if I hadn’t told him that yet. I opened the door to the flat to see Vi on the phone looking very concerned. She saw me come in and whispered “I’ll call you back later” before hanging up and looking at me. “So, that was Danny just now.” She looked at me as if to ask why I had walked away. “He told me what happened. So, Alex was upset?” I couldn’t stop the tears as they began to fall once again. “I can’t do this Vi. I can’t date more than one person, and obviously Alex doesn’t want to do that either. I’m just confused now. I don’t get it anymore. If he doesn’t want to be with other people then why was he with her?” Vi hugged me. “I don’t know, Lillia, but how about this: Let’s stay in for the night. We’ll order Chinese and watch a comedy, and you can sleep this whole thing off.” I had to admit that it sounded like a good idea. I just needed to sleep this off. “Okay, okay. I just want this to sort itself out.” And I really did. I wanted this to all be over. I wanted Alex… but what about Danny? I didn’t know what to do, and I didn’t want to think about it. Everything could just go away, and I would be okay. I’d go to work and go back home, and I’d forget about things. I could just live my life without Alex.
But as much as my mind said I would like that, the tears came up again just thinking about it.
*Alex’s POV*
I woke up the next morning with the events of the day before still fresh in my mind. Why? My mind repeated the question over and over again. It was killing me; I had to find out. I knew I shouldn’t call; I knew I shouldn’t speak to her right now. She had hurt me, and I needed to give myself space from her. But I couldn’t. I picked up my phone and called.
“Hello?” I could hear the tears in her voice. She was still upset, just like me.
“Lillia?” I hoped with everything that she wouldn’t hang up. I just needed to know.
“What?” I tried to control my voice. I wouldn’t let myself sound weak, not now.
“Why?” I sighed. “Why did you do it, Lillia? What did I do wrong?”
“What?” I could hear anger filling her voice. “What do you mean ‘what did you do wrong?’”
I waited. I didn’t know what to say, and I wasn’t sure where this was going.
“You didn’t think I’d see you with some girl? I saw you kissing on your doorstep.”
Kynlie. But how did she see that? And it was so long ago…
“And why are you so upset anyways? If you can date other people then so can I, Alex. If you cared so much about me being with another guy then you shouldn’t have been with another girl!”
She didn’t understand. This was all wrong. We weren’t even together when Kynlie and I kissed. She must have seen it more recently than that.

She was gone. I should have said something, but I just couldn’t believe it was that. I called Jamie into the room. “Jamie! It was Kynlie. That’s why she’s upset.” Jamie was obviously confused by what I said. “Kynlie! The slut I kissed before our second date! She saw me with her. I don’t know how, but it must have been after the actual date because she seemed to think I was dating her at the same time as Kynlie.”
Jamie smiled. “Mate, do you know what this means? You can fix this! You can explain this; you can get her back!” I smiled. It was true. And I would do it. I was going to make sure this was all settled, and I could be with her again.
