I left the scene with Lucas. It's funny when you hate a person, you hate everything about them. Every little detail. But when you love them, every little detail makes your heart flutter like crazy.

I hated the fact that he didn't even want to open the door of his car for me. I hated that I even touched him in front of Damon. I just did this because I wanted to hurt him, though I don't know if he was hurt. What I saw was that he was mad.

Saying the word mad in my mind reminded me of Matt. I knew he wasn't going to forgive me for what I just did. Despite the fact that it's my life, I know that he would think I'm stupid for going on a date with Lucas. He knows that Lucas hurt me very very deeply.

I just hoped to come back to the university before lunch, so he and I could have a lunch together. I don't want him to notice my absence. He was even suspicious when I told him I would go to the university with Meggy. He thought I was lying and was gonna go with Damon. Well, my life's really complicated.

I texted Meggy the reason why I did whatever just happened. She texted me an honest reply that she thinks it was wrong of me to do that. She said that after I left Damon was really pissed and just left screaming at anyone who wanted to follow him.

"Babe? Princess? Hello? Earth to Bailey?"

"Were you saying something?"

"I was asking you about Damon. Are you in love with him?"

"It's none of your business."

"It is, as you decided to go out with me again."

"What the hell are you talking about? I just wanted to be a rebel and not attend my class for a day."

"Do you think I'm stupid? I know that you wanted to make Damon jealous. If you wanted to escape from the classes you would've done it with your bestie."

"I don't have feelings for Damon, ok? And if you continue asking more questions about my personal life I swear I'm just gonna leave this car no whether you stop it or not."

"Great. I heard what I wanted to hear. I always knew you couldn't get over me."

"Jesus Christ. I thought you were done making stupid assumptions. The only person I have feelings for at the moment is Leonardo Di Caprio and you are nowhere near him."

"It's not real for you to be with him. He's not even as handsome as I am. Come on I know you found some similarities between us, that's why you fell for me. Remember? Do you remember our hot kisses, hugs and stuff?" he said winking at me.

"Oh God please give me some patience and self-control or else I'm gonna punch the hell out of this jerk. And by the way he's single, so I have a chance."

"Don't worry baby I'm sure you'll realize you still love me sooner or later and you'll be with me. I'm gonna make you remember why you fell for me."

"Now that I think of it I don't even know what I found in you. You were different back then. You were kind and caring. Or maybe it's just me who didn't notice your cruelty and disrespect towards people's feelings."

"Oh come on. Everyone loves bad boys and that's how they are. They never change baby. You just never learn that, do you? You've always loved my bad side and you still love it. You just have to be honest with yourself."

I felt my head hurt. Was it because of these words that open up my past scars or was it because now I just wanted to be with another person? I had my hair in a ponytail, but I let my hair down so the headache would become lighter.

"I love when you put your hair down. You're so sexy like this. When you put your hair in a ponytail you look like a nerd."

I got a text from Matt saying that even after the date Damon didn't go to the meeting for the project. Come on Damon. Why are you doing this? Don't do this to me. I texted Matt that I would talk to him about it. Matt told me to make it quick because the deadline was tomorrow.

Unfortunately, I had to prepare myself to have a talk to him.

I knew my head was gonna hurt more, but I put my hair back in a ponytail after that idiotic comment made by the jerk. He grabbed my arm.

"Are you doing this on purpose? Why aren't you listening to me?"

There was only one person who could grab my arm. No matter what I say it wasn't unpleasant when he did that.

"Let go of my arm. I won't ever do as you ask me and you won't ever touch me. Did you hear me?"

His grip got tighter.

"You WILL love me Bailey. No matter what. You won't be with that jerk Bennett. I promise you that. You don't know how much of an idiot he is."

"And do you know how much of an idiot YOU are? Well let's talk to each other after you realize that. Now stop the car I wanna go."

"You're not going anywhere. The moment you sat in my car you're mine and no one else's."

"Let go of my arm and look at the road we're gonna be in an accident."

"Don't tell me what to do and I won't let go of it. You're waiting to escape from me. Well, you won't be able to."

I saw a car coming our way.

"LUCAS THERE'S A CAR COMING!!!!"

He stopped the car on time and fortunately nothing happened to us. He just hit his head to the steering wheel. I used that opportunity to run out of his car.

He started screaming my name. Calling me to come back, telling me I was never gonna be able to fall out of love with him. I didn't react to that. I was just running as farther away from him as possible.

I took the hairband out of my hair. Now my hair was down, again.

Lucas has become a psycho. He wasn't like this before. He didn't care about me and my feelings, but now...he...I don't even know what he's doing.

I needed some time to calm down after what just happened. I also had to come up with a plan of how to to talk to Damon. I think after today's 'fight' we had he won't listen to what I want to say.

My thoughts and steps took me to the Lover's park near my home and university.

I entered it and started walking. I was looking at my feet because I didn't want to look into someone's eyes at the moment. Weird, right? Don't know what was happening to me.

I texted Matt to have a lunch with Meggy because I wasn't gonna make it. I would explain everything to him later. I emphasized the fact that he couldn't leave Meggy alone for any girl. He was worried, but let it go, surprisingly. I was happy about that.

Suddenly, I saw familiar sneakers stand in front of me.

"Damon," I sighed raising my head.

He looked at me pissed and passed me by.

"Wait!" I said and noticed his feet stop.

He didn't turn back to me. He was standing facing the other way.

"I need to talk to you."

He finally turned back to me.

"What?"

No angel or something. He was really pissed. This time it was serious.

"Rude, much?"

"You can't tell me to be rude or not. Are you gonna talk or not? "

What's with everybody today. Was today the National Rude day or something?

"Why didn't you go to the meeting for the project? I did what you asked me to and now it was your turn to do your part of the deal."

"I didn't want to."

"Is that it? No explanation, no nothing?"

"Yup. If that's it I want to leave now."

I came and stood in front of him.

"No. You won't leave until you tell me why you didn't go to the meeting."

"I don't wanna talk about it Bailey, move."

Bailey? When has he ever called me Bailey? I didn't know that someday someone would call me by my name and that would hurt me.

"I'm not gonna move. Tell me why didn't you go to the meeting?"

"Because you pissed me off, okay?"

"Why Damon? Why were you pissed?"

You might think I'm dumb, but I just really really had to hear those words come out of his mouth.

"You know why."

"I don't," I said trying to keep a serious expression.

"Because you went on a date with that jerk. You value your classes, but when it comes to that idiot you can leave with him and go on a date?"

"Why not? I'm a single woman and I just wanted to be rebellious once in my life. So why can't I do that?"

"You can do that, but not with him. With ME. You have to be rebellious only with me."

"Well, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one you told this phrase to because today you were rebellious yourself, AND with Veronica."

"So what? I can't kiss whoever I want to is that what you want to tell me?"

"What I'm saying, Damon, is that if you can kiss whoever you want to I can go on a date with whoever I want to and I can kiss whoever I want to just like you."

"So you and that jerk kissed today?" he looked at me with anger in his eyes.

"Calm down you idiot. We didn't. We didn't even have a proper date, I left him," I said sighing and putting my hand on my forehead.

"Why? Did he do anything to you? Did he try to assault you?"

"Would you finally calm down and listen to me? Don't try to avoid the topic. You promised me you would go to the meeting. You have to do that demon."

"And what if I don't want to? What if I don't, angel?"

When he called me angel a smile appeared on my face. I couldn't hide it, it was so natural. My heart finally felt at peace.

"Then I don't have anything to talk to you. I'm leaving. I better go and do your part of the project instead of just talking to you here uselessly."

"Okay okay wait angel. I said 'what if', I didn't say I wouldn't do that. I'll do that on one condition. Go on a date with me."

I was so shocked my mouth opened and couldn't close.

"Are you kidding me now? Again? No! Not a chance. We had a deal. You can't have another condition."

"Okay then. Just answer my question. Were you jealous when you saw me kiss Veronica today?"

"Were you jealous when I left with Lucas today?"

"I was. Very. Now your turn angel. Answer me."

He started getting closer and at some point my back hurt a tree behind me. My cheeks got red when I saw the little distance between us. I tried to look away, but made my face face him with his hand.

"Answer me," he whispered.

"I was."

And he smiled.This was the cutest smile I've ever seen. Smiling suited him so much. For a moment we were lost in each other's eyes and the world disappeared. How good it felt. I never imagined being lost in someone's eyes could feel so right.

"Oh by the way I almost forgot this."

"Are you gonna ruin the moment again?"

"Not this time," he said taking something out of his pocket.

"OMG my ring! The ring my father gave me! How did you- ? When did you- ?Where did you find it?"

"Do you remember the night you saw Alison at my house? Well I actually forgot I told her to stop by. Anyway I told her to go home after you left. I went back to the restaurant we went to together and found it there."

"So, that's why you kept looking at my hand that day? You wanted to know where the ring was or whether I noticed its absence or not?"

I looked back into his eyes. He nodded.

"Thank you. I'm so happy it's not lost, but I'm even happier YOU found it," I said wanting to take the ring out of his hand.

"May I?" he asked looking at me.

I wanted to find sarcasm, irony or something fake in his expression, but couldn't. He was being serious. I brought my hand closer to his. He put the ring on my finger and for a moment I thought I was getting married. Every girl's dream.

I looked at the ring, then back at him.

"Kiss me," I whispered in his ear.

He was surprised, but it was the only time he did as he was told to.

And we kissed.
