I laid in bed all day, Steve had to leave but I could still smell him on my pillow.
Steve was in my bed. MY BED.
I thought he had a new girl? What am I saying? He doesn't like me, he just wanted to.. Keep me safe?? I don't even know.
Why am I overthinking this so much...
God do I like him?..
No. That's impossible? He's Steve....
He's hot, sweet, smart, sensitive...
No!! Stop this! He is just Steve.
Nothing more nothing less!! Just Steve... Shirtless.. In my bed... His hair messily falling over his deep brown eyes... Damn..

I didn't see him for at least three days after that and he was all I could think of.
But when I finally did see him.

I came downstairs in shorts and a baggy t-shirt that was really old, it used to be white but now it was grey and had a few paint splatters on it.
"Morning, beautiful"
BEAUTIFUL?!
"H-hi Steve..." I tried not to be nervous but my face turned pink.
Steve chuckled. "What ya been up to?"
"Thinking.. Writing.. Um.. Dying inside"
He hugged me, I didn't hesitate to hug back like I normally would.
"Honestly, same."
"What have you been up to?"
"Oh.. Um.. Just work and stuff."
"What are you hiding?" I pull away from the hug.
"Nothing.." He starts to sweat.
Denen walks in.
"Oh hey Steve! How's Sophie? Ugh Lizzy you're going to love Sophie!"
"Sophie?.." I feel my stomach turn.
"Sophie is my girlfriend.."
Right then and there I felt something inside of me shatter. Why did it hurt so much to hear that?.. I should be happy he is finally moving.. So what's wrong with me?!
"Wow! Um.. I should get back up stairs, I can hear my computer calling.."
I quickly run upstairs, I can feel tears forming in my eyes.
STOP IT ELIZABETH!! It's just a guy! You've known him all your life... You hate this guy! He is annoying and evil and watches way too much anime..
