Dear Readers, please don't get mad at me after you read this chapter.

Alex's POV

"What the fuck do you want Evie?" I say with a sting.

She looks down at her feet and fiddles with her hands.

"I've been looking for you ever since you moved... I kind of just wanted to apologize." She says not looking up at me.

"Why should I forgive you?"
"You shouldn't. I just needed to get that out... Nevermind I'll just leave."

She turns around and begins to walk down the sidewalk.

I don't know what it was, or why it hapenned, but something inside of me punched my heart and made me Chase after her.

"Evie WAIT!" I shout running to the bottom step.

"Come insde for a bit, we can talk it out. But don't you DARE try ANYTHING. I have a girlfriend now, and I plan on keeping her. Unlike you, she loves me for me."

She doesn't say anything, but hesitates to come in.

"Last chance to say what you wanted, come in."

She walks with me up into the house.

"Listen Alex, I know I was horrible and should have accepted you, but come on. You never bought me any gifts or took me out on dates, all you did was just.... exist. I couldn't stand it, I need someone to notice me 24/7. You just couldn't provide that and so I cheated. But I am so sorry. " she says scooting closer to me on the couch.

I squirmed out of her grip on my leg and stood up.

"Well not everything is about you. I did take you out on dates when I could. I was poor Evie. God, you're just like every girl out there. Just want the attention, gold diggers."

I hear a car door shut and thank God Paris was home.

"Look, my girlfriend is here, so anything you have to say you can say it in front of us." I reply heading for the door.

"DON'T you trust me?" She says sharply.

"Oh Hell No! You cheated on me with my best friend. Because of you our friendship was CRUSHED. Just get out. "

I hear the door handle jiggle and a smile leaps to my face.

I rush to the door, but before I can open it, Evie grabs my arm and jerks me to face her.

Then she kisses me.

And Paris saw it.
