Alex's P.O.V.

I heard the door close and looked up to see that Thomas had left. I sighed. He probably ran away. He doesn't want me. He just got caught up in the moment. I'm sure of that.

I felt tears prick my eyes.

'Stupid tears! Go away!!' I thought as I swiped them away hurriedly. 'Don't cry you wimp.'

I took a shake breath then began to cry.

Why would he kiss me if he didn't love me? It was so unfair.

Thomas' P.O.V.

I ran up to James' dorm and knocked on the door.

"What do you want?" He asked, totally chill, as he poked his head out of the door, "I'm watching a game right now."

"I-i need to talk to you about what h-happened in class yesterday," I replied, fidgeting with my hands.

"Oh, well then come on in," He said. He stepped to the side and opened up the door. I walked in and sat on the couch in his room. I looked around to see that his roommate wasn't there.

I sighed in relief.

He sat down beside me, "So, what in particular did you want to talk about?"

"Well I love Maria and A-alex and, the thing is I-i don't know who to choose. Who to set my heart on or who to be with. I need help deciding," I explained nervously, using ridiculous hand gestures.

James laughed, "Okay well, who's nicer to you out of the two?"

I hesitated before answering, "A-alex."

"Which one is okay with you expressing your emotions, all emotions," He asked.

"A-alex. Maria hates it when I cry and tells me not to," I replied, quietly.

"Who do you spend more time with? Like since the beginning of the school year?"

"Alex," I replied as I looked down.

"Okay then, be with Alex. Honestly I've been wanting to tell you to break up with Maria for a while now but, decided not to because you seemed really happy with her," James said, calmly, "Plus I have discovered he definitely likes you. Plus I can tell he adores you from the way he looks at you in class."

"R-really? H-how did you f-find out?" I asked, stuttering.

"I swore not to tell," James said with a smile.

"Dammit!" I yelled, laughing. James laughed with me.

Flashback

James' P.O.V.

I was walking down the hallway when Peggy approached me.

"We need to talk," She said quickly as she dragged me down the hallway.

"Okay..." I replied awkwardly.

She pulled me into a deserted corner. "Do you know if Thomas likes Alex?

"Ummm...why are you asking?" I asked, confused.

"Because Alex likes Thomas," She whispered, paused, then said, "If you tell anyone I'll kill you."

Flashback End

"James? James?!" Thomas yelled, waving his hands in front of my face.

"Huh?" I asked, confused.

"You zoned out. You okay?"

"Oh, yeah I'm fine. Go get your Juliet, Romeo," I replied as I pushed him toward the door.

He laughed, "Bye." He closed the door and I collapsed on my bed.

I was really tired.

Thomas' P.O.V.

I ran to the dorm as fast as I could. I had to tell Alex I loved him. I'd worry about Maria later.

I opened the door to see Alex curled up on his bed. It sounded like he was crying. I quietly closed the door and walked over. I sat next to him and hugged him.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly. He looked up, clearly startled.

"Sorry. Did I scare you?" He nodded absentmindedly. He had clear tear marks on his face, his face was dark red, and kinda puffy.

"Why were you crying?" I asked softly, concerned. He opened his mouth then closed it and looked down.

"You can tell me Alex. I won't judge or tell anyone," I said softly as I cupped his face.

He shifted his gaze to look to the side. "I-i was c-crying because, I l-love you b-but, you l-love Maria. Y-you're dating her. I-i'm confused on w-why you k-kissed me if you l-love her," He stuttered, as tears filled his eyes.

I smiled slightly, "Oh Alex, I kissed you because I like you. I love you, not her. It just took awhile for me to figure it out. There is nothing to cry about." He stared at me, shocked, as his jaw dropped. I laughed and kissed his forehead. He blushed.

"Your blush is absolutely adorable," I gushed. He hide his face in my shirt as he mumbled gibberish and wrapped his arms around me.

I laughed and hugged him, "I love you."

"I l-l-love you t-too," He stuttered quietly. I smiled. My heart swelled with joy. I had never felt this happy with Maria.

I knew then that I had made the right choice.

Alex's P.O.V.

Thomas chose me. I couldn't believe it. I thought he would've chose Maria but, no, he chose me. Me!

I giggled with joy as I squeezed him. He laughed and squeezed me back. He yawned and I looked up at him.

"Tired?" I asked quietly.

"More like drained, but yeah," He replied.

"Okay," I said. I fell over, pulling Thomas with me as I giggled. He smiled and pulled me close. I snuggled as close to him as I could. I planned to enjoy this as much as I could before he left me or decided he wanted someone else, or I wasn't the one for him. I was ready for that. I hoped that would never happened but, I planned to act like it could at any moment.

"Alex? Alex," Thomas said, snapping me out of my daze.

"Yes?"

"I love you," He whispered.

I smiled, "I love you too." He closed his eyes, falling fast asleep. I snuggled closer and fell asleep we well.

A/N: Hey guys! I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. I plan to update more often now that school is over, but I can't promise that I will. My life is crazy, and busy. I've been busy with life and stuff. I really enjoyed writing this chapter (It's one of my favorites), and I hope you guys enjoyed reading it.

I'd love to know which chapter was your favorite and what you think of the book over all. Thank you for sticking with me, and reading this book.
