Passion POV

Passion: you what Derick ?

Derick: i... i like you Passion, maybe even love *shrugs*

Passion: take me home !

Derick: what.. why ?

Passion: because you can't do this to me ! i'm finally happy and come to me with this ? since the beginning i liked you Derick, but all you said was what ? "we just friends". who did you date ? Sky. then all of a sudden you like, love me ? no. take me home !

Derick: man whatever.

'we walked back to his car and the ride to my house was silent. i can't believe he really did this ! nigga talking bout he like me, maybe love me. i mean who does that ? and the simple fact that he knew this the whole time and waited to tell me after i got Jeremy ? bullshit ! all of it. he pulled up in my driveway and he was about to say something, but i just got out and slammed the door shut and ran into the house. i ran in my room and plopped down on my bed. why couldn't my little "love" triangle not even exist ?'

Jeremy POV

' i swear this is the last time imma do this. i cant keep doing this, but it gives you happiness. leave me alone ! no we are one ! we will always be one. get out my head ! take it ! i lined up the white powder and sniffed it. i repeated it a couple more times until i was at ease. i have to stop. for Passion. i just have to. i cant keep doing this. its not doing anybody good. my phone ringed and it was Passion calling. i didn't answer and she called a couple more times. i didn't answer those times either. i cant talk to her in the state that i'm in. i can't.'

Derick POV

'she's so selfish ! how could she just cut me off like that. i mean i been liking her, but i thought she didn't like me so just said we were just friends. stupid, stupid me ! if i would've told her how i felt from the beginning then this wouldn't have happened. she wouldn't be with Jeremy, she would be with me ! i messed up and i messed up big.'

Passion POV

'a little bit after i got home Jeremy called me. we had a good conversation between us. he sounded like he was stuttering. i was wondering what was wrong, but  did not ask. when we got off the phone i sighed and laid back in my bed. thinking. ever since i turned 18 my life has been crazy. i could be with Derick right now if he would have told me how he felt from the beginning, but he didn't. Jeremy did and i'm happy with him. maybe.... i just...... i don't know what to do anymore.'
