The Competition of Love

Chapter 10- I love you

"THE HELL!?!" Mark exclaimed.

"Mark it's not what it looks like. Don't tell Beth."

"Why does it matter, you guys broke up." Sadie looked at them like they were stupid.

"How does she know that?"

"She-"

"He tells me everything. We're just that close."

"Sadie... Shut up. Go back to the studio. I'll be there in 5."

"Finee." Sadie rolled her eyes and walked away.

"What the hell man!" Mark said once again.

"It's not what it looked like."

"Looked like you were making out with your dance partner. While your ex girlfriend who hasen't even moved out yet is in the building right in front! What if this was Bethany? Or what if she looked out the window?"

"Mark, please don't tell Bethany."

"Why not? You guys broke up. It's not like it's going ot matter!" Mark mocked.

"Mark please... You know I-" Derek cut himself off.

"Love her? Yah I know. That's why I won't tell her." Mark replied making Derek sigh in relief. "You are."

"What.." Derek stood dumbford

"You are going to tell Bethany."

"No."

"And why not Derek? You broke up with her."

"Mark... Don't play this with me."

"Play what?"

"You know I still love her!"

"Yahh.. Your going to tell her."

"Why can't we just not tell her at all!"

"Because you love her. If you want to get back together after you guys resolve whatever is going on then you'll tell her. Or you'll tell her so you can move on."

Derek bent his head back in fustration..

He knew Mark was right... 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was the next day... Thursday. The day Bethany was suppose to go pick up her things. She was currently at the studio for rehearsal before going to her... Derek's apartment.

"Do you want me to go for you?" Mark asked

"No, no I should go. It's my things. I also have to sign the lease saying I'm not longer on it..."

"Beth..."

"Derek and I are over. I just have to get out of his life..." Bethany signed. "Come on, let's run this routine again..."

They ran through their routine multiply times. Until they saw a certain blonde walk in...

"Hough!"

"Mark. Bethany!"

"Hey Jules." Bethany smiled.

"Hey so have you guys seen my brother?"

"I don't know.." Bethany said.

"Weird... I don't see his car. Did you guys take your car Beth?"

"N-No. We took seperate cars."

"Did he leave before you?"

"Not sure. Call him."

"I have, it keeps going straight to voicemail."

"Why do you need him?" Mark asked.
