MIKE'S P.O.V.

Why does he know me so well? He knew that if he hadn't stopped me from going, we'd probably never have another opportunity to talk things out.

"Listen, Mike... I know you're hurt and I hate that I'm the one who did it."

I looked down without saying anything.

"I like you, though. I really do." he continued. "Not only because you've got the perfect body..."

I blushed.

"...But also because you're a great guy, with such a wonderful personality and I like staying with you. I'm attracted to you."

"But that's just it, isn't it?" I whispered. He remained silent for a while.

"I think so. I don't know honestly..." he took my hand. "Maybe it's just a phase, I can't tell... But I don't want you to sleep with me, or do things, if you don't want to."

"Billie Joe... How can you think that I don't want to? Hell, I do! But I can't... It doesn't feel right at all, 'cause it would be just a physical thing, no feelings involved from your side. It would be sex, not love. And I honestly don't want to be used, least of all by you."

There, I said it. I felt good afterwards, like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders. The feeling didn't last, though, as I realized I was rejecting him and I'd never get to be so close to him again.

"Yeah... You're probably right... I am so, so sorry, Mike, I..." He trailed off. I didn't need to hear more. I hugged him and I felt him softly hugging back.

"Just dress and leave Billie. I'll be ok." I whispered in his ear.

He broke the hug to look properly at me. "Are you sure?" he said. I nodded. He wiped away a tear from my cheek. I hadn't realized I was crying. I forced myself to smile.

"I'll always be here, no matter what. Even if things will never work for us, I'll be here for you." He said. I gave him a peck on his lips. He smiled at me, and brought his lips again to mine, and we shared what I believed was our last, passionate kiss.

TRE'S P.O.V.

As I was driving away from Billie, I kept thinking. I knew there was something going on between them. I knew them too well. And I saw Mike, when Billie saved me. It hurt seeing them both like that, and thought I'm happy I get to be with Billie, I hate to be the cause of Mike's pain. If only I could do something about it...

If Billie and I were to be involved in a relationship, he had to be honest with me, and I'm not even gonna ask him out officially if he had feelings for Mike.

I didn't know what to do. I had to talk to someone. I took out my mobile phone and dialled a number I hadn't called in a while.

"Hello?" a female voice said.

"Hey Jules, it's me." I said. A moment of silence followed.

"Tre?! Is that you?"

"Yeah, hun, it's me."

"Oh my God, Tre, I haven't heard from you for weeks. Where have you been?"

"I know, I'm sorry, I sorted out that... problem."

I could just imagine her walking back and forth in her living room, proably chewing a gum.

"You mean... you told him?"

"Yeah... can we please meet somewhere?" I asked, hoping she'd say yes.

"Sure, where?"

"I don't know. My house?" I suggested.

"Alright, see you in ten."

"See you." We both hang up.

Jules... If only the guys knew about her...
