-Liam-
I pace back and forth in my room as I can't figure out how to talk to Alexa. I need to tell her how I feel before I explode. She's going to hate me and probably want to move out.
She can't feel the same way I do. She only felt sorry for me, ever since she found out what my father has done to me. How I became homeless in a matter of seconds. Everything I've been through since graduation, I almost got killed.
That would have been better.
Not sure why I survived if my life was going to be hell. I lost my mother and for sure I lost my father because that man that I lived with two years ago, was not my father. My father loved me, cared for me, he would never hurt me. But this one did.
I hear the door opening as I felt my heart jumping out of my chest. I rub my sweaty hands at the sides of my sweats. I smell my breathe through my hand before walking out.
"Hey!" Alexa smiles at me as she hangs her keys by the wall.
"Hey uh umm," I gulp as I put my hands inside my pockets.
"You okay?" She chuckles walking over with her eyebrows furrowed.
"I'm fine uh I think... umm listen uh I have something to s-say..."
"You do? What do you got?" She giggles and looks up at me. I don't say anything as I just stare down into her green eyes. "What is it Liam? Anyone else would have thought you were declaring your love to me," she laughs.
I bite my lip looking down embarrassed.
She then stops laughing as she frowns.
"Wait... are you?"
"Alexa uh look, I know you can't possibly like me. We are different and even though we been living together these years, I know I'm just a friend or just your roommate. But I started to grow feelings for you. I really like you and I wanted to get that out of my chest. I'm sorry. I understand if you hate me but I needed to let it go. If you want me out of here I'll go get my things and I'll—"
I'm interrupted by her lips against mine. I'm shocked as she kisses me. My hands slowly find their way down to her waist as I kiss her back. Her hands land on my chest as I kiss her more.
I can't help but blush as I slowly pull back.
"I like you too," she chuckles smiling shyly. I remember her being that mean cheerleader in high school, the one who started to do drugs all thanks to me since I was selling them. The one who hooked up with Savannah's uncle. The one who didn't care what others thought about her. The one that got her heart broken by Niall who preferred Jessica. But that was high school.
She changed so much through time, she's different and I like it.
She's even friends with Savannah, Rachel, Ash and London.
"You do?" I smile at her as she nods.
"Come on Li, you're hot," she laughs. "I just didn't want to be weird in telling you. And like you said, we are roommates and I didn't want to ruin our friendship. Besides, I'm not that straight forward. Guys are the ones to ask out the girl."
"So I can ask you out?" I smirk raising my eyebrows. She laughs putting a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear.
"If you want..."
"Hmm okay... will you go on a date with me? Right now?"
"What? Now?" She giggles as I nod. "Okay but I need to get ready."
"Alright love, I'll wait," I wink and kiss her cheek.

An hour later after we both finished getting ready, I take her out to eat. We talk as we usually do not making things awkward. After dessert I take her hand as I kiss her knuckles.
"Will you be my girlfriend Alexa?"
She smiles nodding.
After dinner, we make our way back to our apartment. Our hands linked together. As I shut the door, I hold her back turning her whole body around as I hold her in my arms and kiss her.
Our kiss becomes more passionate and heavy. I carry her to my bedroom as bit by bit we undress.
I kiss every part of her body softly making her whimper with anticipation below me. Every touch, every kiss, every thrust. Our night became a magical one. One of many more.
-Savannah-
I make my way out of the building of my college as I then bump with someone.
"Savvy!"
"Oh hey Drake!" I laugh as he smiles at me.
"Long time no see aye."
"I know, I thought you graduated already."
"No, I took a break for a while. You?"
"I'm graduating by the end of April," I smile at him.
"That's great! I hope I'm invited to your graduation."
"Of course you are," I giggle.
"Are you throwing a huge party?"
"Not sure honestly. We will see, I'll let you know."
"Yeah! You still have the same number?"
"Mmmhm. Just text me, I have to go," I smile and give him a hug.
"Hey! Get away from her!" I hear Edward as he pushes Drake off me.
"What the hell man?" Drake glares at him.
"Edward!" I gasp clenching my jaw.
"She's mine. Stay away from her," Edward threatens Drake.
"She's my friend, you can't be so possessive."
"I'll watch my back if I were you," Edward points at him. I grab his arm pulling him away as I look at Drake whispering that I'm sorry.
"What is the matter with you?!" I yell at him as we're away from people by a tree.
"Nothing. I don't like that guy—"
"You don't like any guy that talks to me," I scoff. "Look, I don't have time for your bullshit Ed, I have to get to work."
"Savvy I'm sorry. I was looking for you to apologize," he sighs as he holds to my arms. "I'm sorry for being such an asshole. I was just upset because my brother is back and I thought you would leave me for him. I love you I don't want to lose you."
"Edward..."
"Savvy I'm sorry baby—"
"Stop. You broke up with me and that's how it is."
"But I didn't mean it. I was an idiot. I don't want to lose you."
"Edward we have to end things either way. We can't continue I'm sorry."
"It's all because of Harry isn't it?"
"I don't know if I love you Edward," tears escape as I avoid his gaze.
"You don't know if you love me? You're saying this because Harry is back. Look at me Savannah."
My heart is breaking just hearing him. I can't look at him, I hate myself for feeling this way. Edward doesn't deserve it.
"Savannah look at me and say it to my face."
I sigh looking back at him as I wipe a few tears.
"I don't love you Edward. You know who truly has my heart."
"I see. Well I wish you the best of luck Savvy."
I look at him as he glares at me. Tears stream down his face as he turns around and walks away. I tried to stop him but stopped myself.
I need to let him go.
