"What's wrong?" Kevin asked swinging open his door.
"He's cheating on me Kevin," I whimpered. I fell into Kevin's arms and cried into his chest.
"Are you sure Marissa?" Kevin asked bringing me into the house, where he shut his door and lead me to his couch.
"Yeah, I went on under his screenname and..." I explained everything to him.
"Well, I dont know what to tell you. You have to talk to him though," Kevin told me.
"I know, but I dont want our relationship to be ruined," I said.
"Well, you cant let him step all over you like he does," Kevin told me.
"I know," I said.
Kevin rubbed my back soothingly as I whimpered.
"You know what he did for me last night?" I asked looking up at him.
"No, what?" he asked.
"When we came home from the zoo, he was being really romantic. He told me that he falls deeper in love with me every day. How can he do this if he loves me?" I asked confused.
"I dont know sweetie," Kevin shrugged.
Just then there was pounding on Kevin's front door. I looked at Kevin and he was looking at me, just as confused. We walked to the front door and opened it. AJ stood before us and he looked pissed.
"What the hell were you doing on my Screenname?" he yelled at me.
"What?" I asked shocked.
"Damnit Marissa! Let's go. We need to go," AJ said. Oh jeez.
"No, I want to stay here," I refused.
"Marissa!" he said frustrated.
"Fine," I grabbed my purse and my keys and stormed past AJ and to my car. AJ was hot on my feet.
I got into my car and waited for AJ to pull out of the driveway, since he was blocking my car. I followed AJ home and he didnt even wait for me, just stormed into the house.
"Lord help me," I said looking up at the sky.
"What the hell is your problem!?" AJ shouted at me when I walked into the house.
"Me?! You're the one cheating on me!" I yelled.
"Are you so sure?" he asked.
"Yes," I said a little bit unsure now.
"And what makes you so sure?" he asked, I dont think Ive ever seen AJ this pissed.
"That girls profile," I whispered.
"Damnit Marissa. Did it ever occur to you that maybe there are more than just one Alex?" he asked.
"No," I said.
"Well, dear there are. I was going by her house to drop off something for my mother. She is a friend of my mothers, any other accusations you'd like to throw my way?" he yelled.
"Then why did you lie to me about going out with the boys?" I asked.
"I didn't. I have more friends than the fucking Backstreet Boys!" he yelled.
Well, I feel about stupid.
"Did you think I would just tell you what I told you last night for no reason?" he asked.
I looked to the ground. I didnt want to answer that.
"I gotta get out of here," he said and brushed past me and left the house.
"AJ!" I called, chasing after him. He turned around and looked at me.
"Please dont go," I said, tears forming in my eyes.
"I'll be back in an hour," he said and continued walking to his car.
*One Hour Later*
"Im home," AJ announced walking into the living room, where I was staring blankly at the televison set.
"Welcome back," I said, without giving any hint of being upset or happy to see him or anything.
"Now, that Im calmed down, we should talk," AJ said sitting down next to me.
"Please dont break up with me," I said, sounding quite desperate.
"Marissa. Stop. Just let me talk," he said.
"Ok," I whispered.
"I guess you had a right to be kinda suspious about me cheating on you, but I want you to know that I love you and I dont want anyone else but you. We need to start working through our problems and stop causing so many. Im tired of constantly fighting with you and from now on, we're not going to argue about stupid things and we're not going to make a mountain out of a hill. Okay?" he asked looking into my eyes.
I nodded and wiped away a tear that had escaped from my eyes.
"Come on, let's just go lay in bed and talk," he said standing up. He held out his hand and I took. We walked to the bedroom and there we layed down and just talked for what seemed to be hours.
