"I don't know what to say." he sighs. "I—I don't know what to think."

I nod, "Take your time." I stand, "Maybe I should go..."

Juan stands up quickly, "No!" he walks over to me, lifting my chin so that i'm looking at him. "Look, I love you. Nothing you ever do is gonna change that. Of course I forgive you." he places short light kisses on my lips.

"But I put you through so much. How could you still feel the same way about me?" I ask, my lip quivering.

He shrugs, "I don't know. I guess I can understand where you're coming from. If I saw an ex that I loved as much as you obviously loved Jason, I would have second thoughts about a lot of things too. I get that you needed that little extra time to sort things out." he traces my cheek with the pad of his thumb soothingly, "I'm just glad you admitted to having those doubts."

"I expected you to be way more pissed." I say sniffling.

"Oh believe me, I broke a few things here and there." I laugh as he wipes my tears away gently. "Did that make you feel better?" he chuckles while I nod, still laughing a little.

"Ugh," I say waving my hands in front of my face, "you're the most amazing person I know." I wrap my arms around him tightly, "I love you so much."

He squeezes me back tightly, "I love you too." when he lets go of me I pull him into a kiss. His hands travel down my body, stopping at my bum, giving it a light squeeze. His lips travel down to my neck causing my breath to hitch.

His hands travel up the back of my shirt, unclipping my bra quickly. Remembering that Joel is probably waiting impatiently in the car I push away from Juan, "What's wrong?" he asks breathlessly.

I chew on my bottom lip, "Joel may or may not have convinced me to bring him along with me." I cringe slightly, "He's waiting in the car." I whisper softly.

He chuckles while shaking his head, "Alright, go get him. He can stay in a guest room or something." he steps back from me motioning for me to go get my brother.

I kiss him on the lips one more time, "Thank you. I love you." I say as I jog out of the house.

After i've reached the car I knock on the window lightly. He opens his eyes before opening the door. "Come on."

He quickly climbs out, making his way into the house. "Hey, Juan." he says waving in the direction that Juan is seated in.

He stands up, "I'll show you to your room." he says motioning for Joel to follow him.

"Can I drive around in one of your cars? I have a license now." I hear Joel tell Juan after they're at the top of the stairs.

I can faintly hear Juan chuckle, "We can talk about that later."

"I missed this." Juan sighs out as we lay in bed after having make-up sex. I have one leg on top of him, my arm over his abdomen.

"Which part?" I ask looking up at him with a smile, "The sex or the laying in bed together?"

He chuckles, giving my forehead a quick peck, "Both. I missed both."

We stay in silence for a few more seconds before he speaks up again, "We really have to stop the fighting Adrianna. I don't like it." he says in a serious tone of voice.

I sigh, "I know. It's not healthy."

"Everything about it is unhealthy." he says shaking his head. I sit up so that my back is against the headboard. "The shouting, the shoving." he nudges my side.
