From there, our relationships really blossomed into beautiful, elegant creatures that could just as easliy be wilted with a lack of water. I learned more about Ray, Em, Addi, and Moony then I ever had with anyone else. Well...Everyone but two people; Ryan and Brendon. I thought that statistic over a few times as they talked-we talked- with one another.

Ry and Bren. Ry and Bren. Ry and...Bren.

Feelings overtook my body, and I realized just how real my life was. Everything became crystalline, more real than it had been. Maybe I didn't need him...

"Look what I got Brenny!" Ray exclaimed as we all sat in the car once more. She was holding a plastic tiara covered in fluffy, pink feathers. "Think he'll like it?" She asked, with a grin on her face.

"Definitely,"I told her, looking into the backseat where Addi,Ray and Ensat as Moony drove towards Jon's house (By which we had been informed to meet everyone at earlier).

"You must have a knack for knowing Brendon's taste," Em giggled. "I can't wait to see his face."

"It'll be great, won't it?" Ray sighed in joy. "That grin..."

"His smile is pretty rewarding," I agreed.

"Looks like we've got two lovesick puppies without a leash, Moony. This could get dangerous," Addi laughed playfully.

"Hold up! Lovesick?!" I interrupted.

"I'm not lovesick!" Ray pointed out quickly. "You're just delusional."

"Are you sure?" Moony giggled.

"That grin!..." Em mocked her, holding the back of her hand to her forehead and shrinking back into her seat.

"Not bad...!" Addi chuckled upon watching.

"I'm sure," I assured them. "No crush for me. Just friendship for now."

"Yeah. Me too," Ray agreed. "I've basically known him for two days!...But yesterday, something went off inside of me that said we had to be best friends. It was already determined. And after getting to know him, I feel like...Like that impulse is right. Like I have to be with him....But strictly as friends!"

Em feigned a cough, managing a 'she's lovesick' into it. Ray's eyebrows were suddenly at an angle. She tried to reach over Addi, who was sitting between them, but Em was pushed up against the doorto stay out of reach.

"Addi...She's trying to hurt me!" Em said to her friend, trying to stay as far away from Ray as possible.

"I AM!" She agreed. "Come on, Addi. You know she deserves it!"

"Not really," Moony said. "I thought she was funny."

We pulled off of the highway and began the back roads, soon ro be parked in Jon's driveway. Once there, we all got out of Moony's car, walked to the trunk, grabbed our numerous bags from the mall, and began to walk towards the back door.

In seconds, they were out to help us carry our things inside. Ryan was at my side, pleading with me to carry my bags. Brendon was carrying a few of each of ours, Patrick was helping Addi, Pete was trying to help Moony, Jon helped Em, Spence held the door open, and Andy and Joe were in a heated game of Chutes And Latters. We stepped inside and set all of our bags down next to a soft, brown sofa in Jon's livingroom.

"Have a nice shopping trip?" Patrick greeted Addi, holding her waist and pecking her quickly on the lips.

"Very," She giggled, kissing him back.

"Brenny, check it out; I got you something,"Ray said, pulling the tiara out of a bag to hand it to him.

"Oh em gee!" He squealed, jokingly as he took it and placed it on top of his dark brown hair. "Thanks, Ray Okay."

"Um..." She began, one eyebrow raised quizically. "Ray...Okay?"

"Would you rather be called Ray Not Okay?" He laughed. "That's like calling you...Ray Death."

SHe laughed and embraced him in a friendly manner, a smile on both of their faces. We all chuckled and watched as Andy and Joe played their game of Chutes And Latters.

"Guys, this is Emily," I finally introduced her, just so she could seem less awkward.

"Hi," She said sweetly, giving a small wave.

"Whoa..."Jon gaped. "You have Mikey Way glasses!" He burst out, moving closer on the couch to look at them.

She removed them from her face and handed them to him, so he could look at them even closer without getting too close to her face. "Um...Nice to meet you too?" She giggled.

"Cams...Can I talk to you? Alone?" Ryan suddenly piped up. I looked suprised, unsure of what I may have done now.

He helped me up and let me walk in front of him, where we pushed past trees and found the familiar train tracks that held a wide load of memories. We turned to look at each other. My eyes wandered across his perfect face and haulted on his pink lips, not quite as full Brendon's, but every bit as tempting.

*Ryan's POV*

They say what are you waiting for? Kiss her, kiss her?

The song played and replayed over and over again in my mind, but I knew that I had to resist.

*Cammy's POV*

"What is it, Ry?" I wondered curiously.

"You were here with Patrick not too long ago, right?" He questioned me, like a concerned parent.

"Well, yeah, of course," I answered. "How come?"

"See, Cams...I'm just worried...For you. And him. And...Addi."

"I-I don't understand, Ry. Tell me what you're talking about." I insisted.

"Let me just ask you one thing; do you love him?"

"What?! No! Like a brother, yes, but other than that, not a bit!"

"Then why on Earth did you kiss him?!" He questioned my, sligtly raising his voice.

"I..I didn't kiss him," I answered, carefully and truthfully.

"Stop it, Cammy. Pictures don't lie," Ryan pursued, flipping open his cell phone to reveal a picture that did not lie, but decieved him.

"Who took this?" I asked him, tears beginning to bud in my eyes. "Tell me who took it. Please..."

"What does it matter? Tell me the truth, Cammy! Please! I need to know that- that you're the same girl I used to know. The one that never lied."

"I am that girl, Ry! I didn't kiss him! I don't get why you can't believe me! Why are you being, such an...an ass?" I continued, my face heating.

"Not too long ago, you said you loved me...If you loved me, this wouldn't be happening right now! Tell me what's real!" He yelled.

"Well..." I said, tears finally escaping my eyes. "Maybe I don't love you."

He looked terribly hurt, but he continued. "Please..."

"I didn't kiss him," I said for the final time.

"Well this picture says DIFFERENTLY!" He yelled, his arms raised and his eyes like they had been stabbed.

The tears came rushing in a flood now. His tone was all too familiar. I shook my head, blinked through eyes blinded by tears, and turned away to walk from this mess I had made. And as I stormed off, I realized that he had left the door open. They had heard everything.'

I watched as Addi stood up angrily in confusion, distaste and trauma. Patrick shot up to grab her arm, and for once, I just kept walking. I hit the sidewalk and followed it, ignoring the horrible running makeup and the guilt that now overtook my body. Had I meat those words? My mind was in a haze and I couldn't tell.

As I walked, my face burned scarlet and my sneakers clicked on the pavement. Not once did I look back.

*Ryan's POV*

What have I done? Did she mean it?

She's left. I've lost her for good.

I could've stopped her. I could've stopped this.

But I didn't and now nothing matters anymore.
Awww. INTENSE, RIGHT? I hope it came out the right way. Sorry it took so long. I wanted it to be right, and using the family computer sucks ass. But Ive got the next one written for the most part in my notebook; Ill type it up ASAP. :giggle: Me and my cliff hangers.

PATD and FOB dont belong to me.

Thank you!! :heart:
