 Bella's POV

"Well it all started with us running towards the campfire smoke. And gosh, as soon as I saw him, I just couldn't breath. He's so gorgeous," Marisa murmured. 

"Who?" I asked with sudden curiousity. Shit. What if it was Luc? I didn't want to hear the name, but I needed to know.  I couldn't keep hanging onto him any longer. I needed to get over him. But what if I can't handle it, just not yet? 

"Lucas Chase Horton," Marisa replied breezily.

What. 

I choked. Lucas? As in my Lucas? As in the Lucas I was dating around 24 hours ago? I knew girls would want him, but I hadn't imagined him being taken away from me so quickly. 

"What's wrong?" Marisa asked, looking into my eyes.

"Oh, nothing! I was just surprised, cause you know, magazine's were saying how he was dating someone and all," I quickly said.

"Oh thaaaat. Eh, that's nothing to worry about! I'm sure I'm way prettier than her anyways and I'm sure he'll choose me over her," Marisa said with a giggle.

I felt like I just got stabbed in the chest, but I forced a titter. "You're right. So continue, what happened?" I asked, feigning interest when every word just made me want to cry.  

"Oh right! OKAY, well. So I saw him, right? He was wearing this turquoise hoodie but he didn't zip it and he wasn't wearing anything underneath, so you could see his totally ripped abs. And it was so cute cause all the brothers had like, identical ones that were just different colored and it said like crayola on it and it looked like a crayon!" she went on. 

I cringed. Those crayola hoodies were a Christmas gift to the brothers from me one year. Thinking of Lucas wearing it made me choke up. 

Thankfully, Marisa didn't notice and continued on with her story. "So I was like 'Hey boys!' and then they walked over giving us a headnod and I like walked over to Lucas and I was like batting my eyelashes and I was like 'hey...' and then ohgosh, you won't believe what happened. He grinned and  picked me up and brought me over near the waves and we sat on the sand with the waves crashing onto our toes. Oh Lord, it was just perfect! You don't even know how amazing he is and how it's like to be with him!" she squealed.

Actually Marisa, I do.

I do know how you feel when you're around Lucas Chase Horton.

I know the butterflies that form and flutter around in your stomach.

I know how you become speechless around him. 

I know how you get lost in his beautiful eyes.

I know how you feel like you could just listen to him ramble all day because of his amazing voice.

I know how you can't resist smiling when you're near him.

I know how he can make you laugh with the littlest things.

I know everything about him, so don't tell me that I don't know how amazing he is.

I've known him since birth, so don't tell me that I don't know how it's like to be with him. 

But I kept quiet and smiled. "That's great Marisa! I'm so happy for you! Just be careful he doesn't break your heart, OK?"

He tends to do that very well.

Very, very well.  

Based on personal experience, I advise you to be cautious.

I didn't see our break up coming. No, I did see it. I saw the signs. I felt him distancing himself from me. But I didn't and don't know why he broke up with me. 

A moment of pause.

For me to get full closure, I had to know the reason why he broke up with me.

I had to find out why, and finally move on. For the sake of Lucas, Marisa, and me. 

"I'll be fine! Don't be such a worrywart Bells!" Marisa said with a giggle. "Anyways, so we were talking a bit about ourselves. I mean I didn't really need to know more about him, I basically knew everything about him from magazines!"

That's not true. There's so much more to him than what magazines say about him. 

"But yeah, we were talking and stuff and then well. I don't know, it just happened. We kissed!" Marisa squeaked with joy. 

The other girls squealed excitedly and asked how it was. What was it like? What did his lips taste like? Was there tongue? 

I froze. 

Kiss?

Already?

But. But. But. But. 

That's the same day as when we broke up. 

Does Luc not respect me and my needs? I need time to get over what he did to me. 

Dammit Lucas Horton. You might actually turn out to be like the Landon situation because of this. 

I didn't want to hate him considering he and all his brothers were my best friends. 

But wasn't this crossing the line? You don't just start making out with another girl the day you break up with your girlfriend of 3 years. 

I gritted my teeth. 

At least that was the end of Marisa's story. 

Now to endeavor three more stories of how my housemates hooked up with my best friends or the guys I consider as my brothers.

Sounds wonderful.
