Cole sighs. "Cassidy's being... I don't, weird. And I know its not because if the baby. I'm just done with her. I thought I once love her but it seems like she changed. Maybe its just the baby thing getting to my head but... I don't think so. I just, don't love her anymore."
"Then break up with her Cole!" I say.
"I can't! Shes f..." He yells then calmly says "She's pregnant. You know I can't do that."
"Cole, me and Shawn broke up and I am."
"I'm giving her one more chance."
"Alright, fine."
"Right now though, I need to get my mind off of things. Lets go to City Walk." He gets up grabbing his light blue jean jacket and walks out the door.

////////At City Walk////////

We walk towards the stage.
"I have performed on that stage many times." Cole states. "Good times. And it's not over yet." Cole grabs my hand and we run up to the stage. We get closer and see two figures already on stage. Cole stops breathless and shocked.
I look at his now worried face. "Cole? Whats wrong?" I look back at the stage to see Cassidy making out with someone. My heart brakes as well knowing how Cole must feel even though he didn't love her anymore.
"Cassidy?!" Cole shouts.
The guy looks at us in shock and then in guilt. Cassidy I think has no idea what's going on.
"Cassidy" Cole says, his lip quivering.
"Cole I didn't mean to-" the guy that was kissing her says but gets cut off by Cole.
"No Alec! Just don't!" Cole shakes his head in disgust and runs off.
"Cole!" I shout after him. When he doesn't stop, I quickly glare at Cassidy and Alec and run after Cole.
I catch up to him on a bench far far away from Cassidy and Alec. I sit down next to him. He looks like he's in some kind of trance.
"Cole?" I say seeing if he's all there.
He jumps and looks at me.
"I thought you didn't love her anymore?" I ask.
"I don't, it just hurts to know someone would ever do that to me. And I didn't think she'd do that. Not at all. Which makes it hurt even more. I want somebody I can trust and that really, truly loves me back. I don't want just any girl."
I'm taking it he sees right through me. But I don't care. I still... I still love him. "And you deserve that." I say. "You deserve the best girl in the world. Better than that even."
He looks up at me and smiles. "Like you?"
I blush. Why? Does he think me? I don't know. But what I do know is that I can't keep this from him anymore. He's my best friend. "Cole, I can't keep this from you. And it may be obvious. But Co-" I get cut off by his soft, warm, luscious lips colliding with mine which catches me by surprise. I guess he doesn't see right through me. But of course, yes, I kiss back. But we pull apart hearing footsteps get really close. We see Alec standing there with his hands in his jacket pockets.
"What are you doing? Go away!" Cole snaps.
"I don't know why you got so upset about Cassidy since you knew you'd have a rebound." Alec says.
"She's not a rebound. And I'm not upset that Cassidy cheated on me?" Cole says.
"Really? Cause um, that's what it looked liked."
"You wouldn't understand."
"No because I know how to have my girls wrapped around my finger and right where I want them."
"Wow. You're such an ass." Cole says pitiful.
Alec laughs and walks away.
Cole comes back over to me and sits back down. He wraps me in a hug, kisses my head, and whispers, "You'll never be a rebound. Never."
I smile and blush even though he can't see me smile. But we just sit there in each others arms, sharing each others warmth.
