It slowly started raining, but I still didn't want to go and that was fro certain. No matter how much it rained, I wouldn't leave his place. I would lie if I said that I didn't expect him to show up and tell me that it was okay, that we could just forgive each other and move on from this incident. But who was I kidding? It wouldn't happen for sure.

I leaned my head towards a gate-like thing, not even caring that it could be dirty or something. I closed my eyes waiting for him and also kinda freezing from the rain and the wind that touched my skin from time to time.

When I opened my eyes, I wasn't outside anymore, I wasn't wet either, except for my jeans. I was in a room wrapped in a warm blanket with a cup of tea on the nightstand next to me. Did he bring me in? Before I could answer this question in my head, he came in, with a cold expression on his face.

"Thank you Damon," was the only thing I could say at the moment.

"I changed your shirt, so you don't get cold, but didn't do the same with your jeans so you don't think I raped you or something."

"Hahah, no I wouldn't think that for sure. Thank you so much."

"Drink your tea and you can leave."

"Damon we need to talk. We can't continue like this."

"Bailey don't think that if I let you in then I forgave you. It's just that I'm a human after all. Nothing personal here."

I got up from the bed and just when he wanted to leave I grabbed his hand this time.

"Damon please, let's talk this out. Both of us were wrong, yes, but we need to talk about it. Leaving this topic as it is won't change anything. It'll only complicate it even more."

"Bailey, mine wasn't doing wrong, I was just playing," he said still being cold as an iceberg.

"Why were playing that game anyway when I wasn't there Damon? Why would you even want to kiss anyone else if you like me?"

"Oh really? Same question goes to you."

"I kissed him because I felt betrayed, I didn't think you would kiss another person when you said you liked me Damon."

"Is that what you think right path is? Getting angry at something that YOU yourself did a couple of minutes later. Woah! Smart Bailey, really smart," he said clapping his hands.

"Okay. You know what I'll just go now. This conversation won't lead us anywhere. We just need to cool down for a while."

I went to get my jacket that was drying off next to the nightstand. When I wanted to put the jacket on it hit the mug with the hot tea inside. All the pieces of the cup fell down the floor and I started gathering them, pissed at myself that this had this happened at this inconvenient moment.

"Let it go Bailey. I will do that after you're gone."

It's interesting how our love resembled the broken cup right now. We had something warm inside our relationship, but now that this cup is broken, all the warmth and heat is gone and only emptiness is what we're left with.

I didn't listen to him and just continued gathering the pieces and cut myself.

"Oops," I said when I saw the blood dropping from my hand.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel the pain, maybe it was because there was a bigger pain inside of me at the moment.

"You never listen, do you?" he said walking towards me to see what happened.

"No, don't touch me. A couple of seconds ago you acted like you didn't care at all and now you suddenly care, huh? I'll go, and while I'm walking out of your house just look at the blood drip from my hand and imagine what's happening inside of me, because that's an accurate representation of it.

It was surprising to me that there was nobody home. He was all alone. At that moment I didn't even think that someone might come back home by chance and see the drops of my blood on the floor, I just wanted him to see that, I wanted him to constantly think about me. Egotistic, I know, but once you fall for someone, you just can't help, but become one.

I was slowly approaching the door and he was slowly following my footsteps. I opened the door and saw her standing at the porch. What was she doing again? She ruined our relationship and now she's here with a smile on her face. What did she want? Why did she come here again?

"Jenna?"

"Bethany," she said knowing it wasn't my name.

"Well, I always knew that your memory's not good, but this was just proving the statement once again. Glad that my conclusions are always right. What are you doing here?"

She rolled her eyes, because she couldn't think of a better comeback at that moment.

"Why do you care? It's not your place anyway."

All this time Damon was standing behind me without saying anything. I think that he didn't expect this to happen either. On the other hand, maybe he did, because this keeps happening every freaking time. Sick of it.

"It's my boyfriend's place, so, I do care."

"Your boyfriend's? He didn't say anything yesterday when we kissed and stuff," she said licking her lips.

"Stop with the bullshit Jenna. What do you want?" finally asked Damon.

"Wait a second. And stuff? What do you mean by and stuff?" I asked and saw that just because I gestured at her with my hand she saw my hand bleed.

"So, I guess you know it already. Is that why you fought and broke things at each other?" she asked smirking.

"Know what? Is that the 'and stuff' thing that I should know. No, I don't, tell me," I said changing my expression from a really sad one that I had before to a pissed one because I felt that there was a bomb coming my way.

"Stop it Jenna. Go! WE WILL TALK LATER," said Damon shooing her away.

"Come on Damon, I always knew that you were a hospitable person. Why are you kicking her out?" I said smiling at him. He knew that this wasn't a usual smile.

"You know Bethany this is the only correct phrase that you've said so far," she said pushing me away and coming in.

"My name is Bailey and keep your opinion to yourself. We don't really want to hear it. Anyway tell me what was it all about."

"Bailey come on, you don't have to listen to her," said Damon pushing me towards the door.

"Don't touch me and don't decide instead of me. Tell me Jenna."

"Well, Damon and I slept together yesterday," she said waiting for my reaction.

"Oh yeah? You did? Hmm, interesting," I said looking at Damon to see on his face something that would make me believe the opposite, but, unfortunately, there wasn't.

"Don't blame him Bethany, he just couldn't help it. Though I think your straight, you yourself can agree that I'm irresistible," she said flipping her hair.

"Don't leave angel. Listen to me before you do," he said looking at me with guilt in his eyes.

"You wanted me to leave seconds ago. You even wanted me to leave before she got here. And I'll do it," I said leaving him standing there with Jenna.

I walked for a bit and then stopped a taxi to get home where Matt and Meggy should've been waiting for me.

He didn't follow me. Again. This was already a sign that I had to stop having feelings for him. I'll try to do that for sure.

I got home and when I lifted my eyes to the door, I saw a familiar standing there.

"Helloooooo B! Shay Parker has arrived baby!! Don't you wanna come and hug your sexy attractive cousin? Come on come on come on!!!" she screamed in such a way that I think the whole world hear.

I was actually happy to see her today, though I knew that with her coming the chaos would begin for sure. She always brings chaos.

I smiled and started walking towards her when I saw her facial expression change.

"What are YOU doing here douche?" she asked and I didn't understand who she was talking about until I turned my head to see him.

It was Damon. He followed me.
