"Hurry up!!" Aiden yelled at Savannah and I as we were doing our make up.

We both giggled.

"He's pissed" Savannah laughed.

I put on my mascara and we both headed down stairs. I took the car keys and looked at my reflection in the mirror near the door.

"You look fine, were going to be late if we don't leave." Aide said.

I smiled as the satisfaction of how good I looked and opened the door. The smile on my face turned into surprise and my heart was practically beating so fast. I felt the bump in my throat. The one when your about to cry but try to hold it in and you can't say one word. What the he'll was happening?

"Uh.. Hey.."

You guessed it. He had the nerve to come here after everything. I waited years for him to email me back when I wrote him hundreds of letters and not even receiving anything back. The way I found out he was with Kristen through Facebook and didn't even bother telling me or writing a letter, Hey Cindy I can't wait for you. Sorry for breaking a promise but I moved on and fell inlove with my assistant rah rah rah. Well hell to you to!

"We'll wait outside," Savannah interrupted my thoughts.

Aiden looked at me with 'are you sure?' look and I nodded and faked smiled.

"What do you want?" I asked him opening the door wider for him to come in.

HENRY'S POV.

"I don't know how to say this but...., I don't think we should keep going with.... this." I was Sorry I really was.

"Tell me what I did wrong baby. I'll do everything I can to change." Kristen responded.

'Baby'? I know she calls me that all the time but I dont think I can ever get use to it. It just didn't sound right. It felt more better when Cindy says it. There was really nothing she could do. Cindy was coming back home and I'm not sure if I can ever move on from her. She was really the one for me maybe one talk will make her change her mind. I just needed to know answers.

"Kristen, it's not you. It's me. I just..." Fuck! Now shes crying. don't cry! Even though it's hurting her I needed to do it now that later.

"I love you!" she sobbed.

Fuck! She says it now? I just... how the Fuck am I ment to continue this. I could see hurt in her eyes as she looked at me. She was spilling out all her tears and I could tell she really ment it. I swallowed before speaking again but before I could speak she interrupted,

"Please, just give me a chance to make it right. I promise I'll do anything. I need you in my life Henry. I just can't stand the fact that I'll wake up tomorrow and know you won't be there beside me."

Can I do it? Can I really fall out of love with Cindy and love Kristen?

"Please..." she begged again.

It was silent for a minute then I agreed. "Okay"

She gave me a hug and a smile. "Thank you so much"

That night I pulled into Cindy's driveway. The lights were on so someone must be home. I stayed inside my car looking out the window. Should I? I shouldn't. I had to get over her and learn to love Kristen. I need to let her go. She's happy and that's all that mattered. Maybe I'll just say Hey and see how's She's doing. Or Maybe catch up.

I noticed I was on the front of her door. I must've been walking while I was thinking. I was about to leave when the door opened and I saw her. Finally after that long time not being with her I got to see her. I wanted to give her a hug and pull her close so I can feel her body so closer to me. I wanted to give her a kiss and taste her soft, gentle lips once again but flashed into reality and I knew I couldn't.

"Uh...Hey..." I was so nervous I didn't know what else to say. I glared at Aiden. Wow He's staying at her house? Sadness filled my heart and it felt like it was about to drop out of my chest and leave me laying there. I guess they really got back together.

"We'll wait outside," a blonde haired girl said who must be Savannah I'm guessing.

Aiden gave Cindy a look and she smiled at him nodding her head. I stood there awkwardly as the gawk at each other.

"What do you want?" Cindy said bitterly as she opened the door and walked towards the living room for me to follow. I missed this house so much. I missed her.

"I just wanted to drop by and see how your doing?" I fakely smiled.

"Well I'm doing good." she simply said

"That's good."

Really? How dry can you get Henry! Come on think!

"Welcome back!" I fakely smiled again.

"It's good to be back. I've missed this place and yo-- " she stopped. "and everyone." she smiled.

I could tell it's fake though. I knew her she had different smiles and laugh.

1. ) When she's fake smile just to be polite.

2.) When she laughs at a joke that she doesn't get but she laughs along with it so She's not left out.

3.) When she actually get the joke. The real laugh.

4. ) When she smiles for real her eyes sparkle and it smiles with the lips too.

5.) When she smiles but deep down She's hurting.

And I could list all of these smiles and laugh she had but it'll take me about an hour. Number 5 was the smile she was giving me.

"Are you okay?" I asked. I just wanted her to just tell me straight up that She's not so it'll give me and excuse to give her a hug and feel her warmth. I wanted the conversation to not finish.

"Why wouldn't I be?"

why is she being so sour? She's the one who broke it off and by letter too. It hurts. I used Kristen hoping she would take my mind of her but it didn't work. I know using people was biggest mistake and I shouldn't but she refused.

"It's just-- Uh. Well your smi--"

"I'm fine." she snapped. "Why are you here?"

"Nothing... just...nothing." I said as I fakely smiled at her and walked out the door to my car. I could feel tears was about to run down my face when I drove off, but I wiped it off before more of it come down on my face.

Cindy's POV

I let out a huge gasp as I tried to catch my breath. Tears were falling off my eyes. I grabbed a tissue and wiped it off my face. He had the guts to come and ask if I were okay! Yeah Henry oh I'm fine thanks.

I locked the front door and headed to the car were Savannah and Aiden were already buckled up.

"Are you okay?" Savannah questioned politely.

I looked at her in the review mirror and smiled, "Why wouldn't I be? let's go and get this dinner over and done with."
