Second Chances (Sequel to WDITTWYH)

Couples and Best Friends

"You're not in charge of my life you know." I told Anthony straight up. 

After a week of isolation, I was fed up. Anthony was still on me about Logan.

"I'm not a baby anymore. I can handle myself." 

"I told you, I'm just playing the part I'm supposed to be playing." Anthony said with one breath. 

"It seems like more than just a part to you." My breath hitched in my throat. 

Anthony sighed and took a seat on my bed. "Well of course it's more than a part. You're still my best friend Laur. I wanna look out for you." 

"Is that the only reason you've acted this way?" 

He nodded and I felt my heart drop. For some reason, I wanted him to say that he likes me again but that's ridiculous right? 

"This whole "fake" relationship thing wasn't a very good idea. Your fangirls are still on you." I said with a smile and nudged him. 

"Didn't know that you were such a ladies man. I definitely didn't see it coming when we were 15." 

"Whatever Laur. I caught you staring a few times. I'm hot and you know it." He said with a wink. 

Anthony and I were pretty much back to normal at that point. There was no pressure of having to act like his girlfriend and I could talk to anyone without him being so overprotective about it. 

Awhile after our "break-up", Anthony had started acting weird, as did Kate. And it didn't take me that long to put two and two together. I had thought that Kate was pretty stuck on Eric but I guess not. 

Despite me being best friends with the both of them, they still kept it a secret from me even though it was quite obvious. You could catch them staring at each other and at times they were very touchy. 

I didn't really know how to feel about the whole "Kate and Anthony" thing. I couldn't say I was jealous since Anthony was honestly just a friend and the whole "fake girlfriend" thing sort of ruined it for me. 

"So tomorrow then?" I asked Eric as he opened up the door to my dorm room and motioned me inside. 

Eric and I have been spending a lot more time together since Kate and Anthony are suddenly nowhere to be found. Eric may be my ex-boyfriend but spending this much time with him reminded me of the old times we had together and how much fun it was. The only thing that scares me is that it's launching me back into my past and my head keeps thinking about why I liked him in the first place.

He's the same old Eric; gentleman-like (unlike Anthony), sweet, and kind.

"Yeah, of course Laur." He said following after me.

But the sight before us stopped us right in our tracks.  

Lucky for Eric and I, the sight wasn't too graphic. I still managed to yell "I'm scarred for life." though. 

If you don't get the picture I'm hinting at- you know, hormonal teenagers (not anything too bad.)

"We're sorry we didn't tell you Laur." Kate and Anthony said simultaneously. 

"We just didn't know what you'd think of us." Kate continued.

I rolled my eyes, not wanting to hear any excuses anymore. I knew it was coming. It was obvious that Kate and Anthony were in a serious relationship. But the reality of it is that my two best friends were keeping secrets from me. And it hit me like a truck. 

"You both should know that I love you two and respect your decisions. There was no reason to keep anything from me just because you were scared of what I would think." 

They both put their head down. 

"And frankly, I'm happy for you honestly. It was about time." I smiled. 

Kate smiled and got up to hug me. "You're so lucky I love you two. I just don't want to see PDA okay? Especially in our dorm." I said as I gave both of them a shove. 

It was cute seeing Kate and Anthony be so lovey-dovey but it occassionally got tiring. I never really get any hang out time with just Kate, or just Anthony. It was a package deal now. It's not that I don't mind being with the both of them but it's like they're just one whole person now, not two individuals. 

It was Kanthony, not Kate and Anthony. 

Even Eric got tired of it. And that was surprising ecause he has a high tolerance level with almost everything. We just wanted our best friends back. We just didn't know how we were supposed to get them back. 

(A/N: Did I really just write a filler chapter in one night for you guys? Yeah, I did. I was just in the mood to write and after how long I've been leaving you guys hanging, you guys deserved it. I'll try to upload as much as possible, I promise. And don't forget to comment, and like this chapter! Tell me what you guys think about Kanthony! Love you guys and hopefully I'll talk to you guys soon.)
