"Hi." I sat on the couch next to Tom. "Can I have some noodles?" He asked, I nodded and fed him a mouthful. "How are you?" Angie asked me. I watched Cody sit down next to me. "I'm okay." I smiled. "Are you sure?" Brad pushed a little. "I'm coping." I rephrased my answer.

"You know that we're right here if you need anything." Angie smiled warmly. "I know." I returned the gesture. "So you guys cleared out the whole closet?" Cody changed the subject which I was massively grateful for. I know they were just being nice and supportive but talking about it is accepting it and I'm not ready for that yet.

"Yes. It took like three hours and then we started packing my room up." I said. "Shh! I'm watching TV." Tom hushed us. "We're taking the clothes that don't fit me and that I don't want to charity tomorrow." I smiled. "That's a good idea." Angie said. "Thank you." I smiled. "We found my 'thing 1' shirt from disney." I said.

"That was so long ago." She remembered. "I still haven't forgiven you for what you did to me." Cody said which made Tommy laugh. "You looked so stupid, walking around with slushy all over you." "Shut up." Cody pushed him playfully.

"Almost as stupid as the time you thought I was drowning." I giggled. "Shut up!" He nudged me. "Can you believe that the holiday was nearly a year ago?" Brad asked. "That means we first started dating a year ago almost." I looked at Cody. "Time flies." He smiled back at me.

"Alright, you finished?" Cody asked once he'd finished his food. I nodded and we both got up. We put our things in the kitchen and said good night before going upstairs. "I'm gonna go talk to Alli." Cody said. "Okay, I'm getting in the shower." We seperated in the hall. I took a quick shower and changed into some underwear and one of Cody's shirts.

I dried my hair in the bathroom and made sure I looked decent before going into the bedroom. Cody was laying flat on his stomach on the bed. His arms were hiding his head. I crawled over to him and lifted his arm up before dropping it back down with my face next to his.

"You don't hate me, do you?" He asked quietly after a few minutes of silence. "No." I spoke softly. "I think she does." "She doesn't." "She said she does." "She's mad. Girls say things when they're mad." "I think she's right. I don't deserve you." "Cody.." I chuckled slightly. Cody sniffed which signified to me that he was crying.

"I've messed up and it's never going to be the same." "She's not even your girlfriend so why does she get to make you feel like this?" "She's your best friend. She's going to tell me the things that you're too afraid to tell me." "Well, I don't hate you. I don't think it's never going to be the same. This is our relationship, not yours and my best friend's." I said.

"I just love you so much and I'm scared you don't believe me." "Of course I believe you. Not everyday a guy spends six-hundred dollars on his girlfriend." I giggled. I heard Cody laugh a little. "So don't get used to it." He finally uncovered his face.

"I don't like seeing you upset." I wiped his wet cheeks. "You think I enjoy seeing you upset?" He asked. "No but you never cry. Hardly ever. I don't like it." "I'm sorry." "Don't be." I smiled to reassure him. "What do I have to do to get that ring back on your finger?" "It was on my finger but Alli made me take it off." "See this is what I mean!" He rolled onto his back.

I climbed onto his chest. Cody sat up which made me slide down and sit in his lap. "What do you mean?" "Your judgement is your judgement, not hers." "I know that." "So why let her tell you what to do? If Trey were to tell you to take it off, you'd super-glue the freaking thing on." "It's different, Cody. But everything will be okay." I smiled. He sighed and stared past me.

I reached up and kissed his lips softly. Cody's eyes met mine as I kissed him the second time. "I promise." I said and kissed him again. He didn't kiss back. He watched me kiss his lips over and over. When I stopped he gave me a questioning look. "Do it again." He told me. I smiled and kissed him again.
