"Is that it?" the cashier asked as I I placed the items on the counter.

Little did he know buried under all those unwanted groceries was a pack of condoms I was somehow hoping nobody else would see.

"Umm yea" I muttered as he began billing. When he finally got to the condoms he looked at me and giving a small chuckle he probably judged me mentally.

"It's 6.50$" he replied handing me the bill as I paid for my stuff.

"Thanks" I smiled as I took my bag and walked out.

Heading to the parking lot I unlocked my car, "Rave?" a familiar voice called out.

Ignoring him I continued to put my stuff in the backseat of my car. "Are you really going to ignore me?" he asked.

"I wasn't ignoring you" I replied turning around and facing Dallas.

"Can I explain what-" he started.

"Explain how you basically put my relationship with Ryan in jeopardy? How you kissed me when you knew I was not in the right head space after that panic attack? What could you possibly say to change all that?" I asked angrily.

"I'm sorry about what I did the other night, it was totally wrong and I wasn't thinking. That's what happens when I'm around you, I don't think twice and I know it was completely wrong for me to do that. I'm just so so sorry Raven" he said genuinely.

"Do you know how scared I was to tell Ryan? What if he had not forgiven me? I love him and if he had not forgiven me I would've lost the second guy I've ever loved that much" I replied.

"I still like you, I don't know whether the feelings left and came back or they were there all along but I figured that if I was honest to you it will help me to move on" he stated honestly.

"There is probably going to be a girl out there who's going to love you just like I did and maybe this time you won't fuck it up-" I stated as he smiled a bit, "But I'm not that girl and I'm sorry" I answered.

"Wasn't expecting you to run back into my arms anyways" he smiled jokingly. "You know this means we can't be friends right?" he said.

"Why?" I asked unsure.

"Because I can't watch you smile and watch you do all those things you used to do with me. It's hard, knowing that at the end of the day you're with someone that's not me. It's not a crush when it comes to you Rave, it's more than that" he stated looking at me.

"I understand" I said sadly, "It was nice being your friend while I could Dallas" I spoke softly as I stared at the boy standing three feet away from me.

"Maybe sometime in the future?" he asked smiling back.

"Maybe" I smiled back as he walked away and I got into my car. Just as I did the rain began to pour down.
