--Megan--

After Tyler and I kissed, I looked to see a very angry and hurt Ian standing before us, with flowers in his hands. Tears immediately began to fall from my eyes. I opened my mouth to try to explain to Ian, but it was too late. The flowers were on the ground and Ian was nowhere in sight.

I didn't care about my stuff that was still on the bench, or Tyler for that matter. I needed to talk to Ian. I picked up the bouquet of flowers and started running towards the parking lot, praying he hadn't left yet. When I got there, my eyes were searching all over the place for him, until my eyes landed on him leaning against his black jeep. I immediately started running, afraid he would leave before I got to talk to him.

"Ian!" I called as I ran towards him. His head shot up when he heard his name and when our eyes locked, I saw that same look of hurt and anger in his eyes.

"I see you got my flowers." he said once I stood in front of him.

"Ian look I--"

"--Save it!" he said cutting me off.

"The minute I saw that guy in Starbucks 2 months ago, I knew he was gonna be trouble. Then you told me about your little 'fling' with him and I wanted to hurt him all over; I wanted nothing to do with him or you but I decided to let it go; I decided to move past it because I knew you loved me and that what happened with him was a mistake and you didn't mean to do it. But this? This is different." he added.

"No it's not! He means nothing to me Ian! You're all I care about." I said, letting the tears fall down my face.

"Don't give me that bullshit Megan! You know you have feelings for him! You know it!" he yelled. When he raised his voice that last time, I flinched, closing my eyes in the process, afraid of what would happen next.

"Ok so maybe I do have feelings for Tyler but that doesn't mean he means something to me! How dare you assume that I don't care about you anymore! How dare you think that just because I had a thing with Tyler I don't love you anymore!" I shouted.

"I know you love me Megs, I know you do; I can see it in your eyes, I can hear it in your voice, but I can't be with someone who also have feelings for someone else. And I thought you of all people wouldn't do this. I thought I wouldn't have to worry about you cheating no matter if there were other guys or not, because I knew about your past. I know about what happened in your senior year of high school; I known you've been cheated on and you've been falsely accused of cheating. I thought that that would've been the reason to trust you; knowing you'd never cheat on someone. But I guess I was wrong." he said, tears streaming down his face. For a second, he turned away, looking into the distance, trying to avoid eye contact with me. He hated for people to see him cry; to see him in a horrible state.

"Ian," I started as I grabbed his face in my hands, forcing him to look at me. I wanted to see his hazel eyes, I wanted to see his vulnerability; I didn't want him hiding.

"I know I've done some stupid things that I can't take back but losing you would break my heart. I don't care about everything else. The one thing I truly care about is you. I don't care if we date or not as long as I have you in my life. I really need you because if you leave, I'll have no one."

"You'll have Tyler." he said harshly.

"You really think if I lost you, I'd look to the person who drove you out of my life for comfort? I wouldn't be able to even see him, let alone talk to him. Please Ian. Forgive me. I can't lose you." I said, sobbing now.

He just stared at me for a few minutes, letting the silence sink in. I never removed my eyes from his and neither did he. We just stared into each other's eyes, not saying a word. Then he started to back away, releasing himself from my grip.
