"I'm coming..hold on." Shane said, running through the living room, the parlor, and finally into the kitchen. Sighing, out of breath, he opened the door. "Hey." he said. Desiere smiled.
"Hi." she smiled weakly and welcomed herself into the room. Shane closed the door, and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I haven't seen much of you lately." He laughed, bringing his lips to the side of her neck softly. Desiere rolled her eyes and shrugged, pushing Shane off of her.
"Do you have my Mortal Kombat 4 game? Zac's little brother wants to learn how to play it an-" Shane cut her off.
"That's where you've been..with Zac's family." he said, unwrapping his arms from her waist.
"Yeah that's where I've been Shane..does that bother you?" Desiere shot. Shane snickered.
"Well yeah." he laughed, "I lost Amanda to Taylor..and now I'm losing you to Zac...I don't want that to happen." he said, turning his gaze behind Desiere. She raised an eyebrow and laughed cruelly.
"No..um, I'm sorry but that's wrong..," she paused, watching Shane raise his eyebrows in confusment, "You already lost me." she said, turning on her heel and leaving the house. Shane slumped against the refrigerator and sighed.
"That went well." he complained. Seconds later, tears filled his eyes and not wanting his younger twin brother's to come home to see him crying in the kitchen, he dashed upstairs to his room.

The phone rang, and I pulled from Taylor's arms to pick it up. I was sent back home..that is until they find a way to feed me without putting me in a deadly situation. "Hello?" I asked, sticking my tongue out teasingly at Tay. He snickered and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Amanda?" Shane asked. My face fell, and I noted something wrong.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" I asked, pulling myself off of my bed, and making my way toward the window. Taylor lay on my bed, staring up at an orange star that rested on the ceiling directly above his head.
"Is Desiere there?" Shane asked, his voice cracking. I shook my head.
"No..why?"
"We broke up..she loves..she loves..Zac." he cried softly. My mind raced wildly.
"Zac? Are you sure she said Zac?" I questioned intentively. Shane shook his head.
"She said she loved Taylor, or Zac..I'm not sure..but she loves them..more then me," he choked, "Can we talk? Please?" he asked. I thought for a moment. Make-out with Taylor, Talk with Shane, Make-out, Shane, Make- out...Shane.
"Sure," I looked at my watch. 11:26 it read. "Give me twenty minutes to get dressed..okay? Then come by." I said, hanging up. I approached Taylor, grabbed his hands and pulled him up off the bed. "Can I call you later? My teacher needs to come by and talk to Mom,..about my class work," I paused, "And it wouldn't be good if you were here while she was..."
"Okay..I'll call you in about an hour..or so." he leaned over, kissed my lips softly, and left. I sighed and fell dead against my bed.
"What am I getting myself into?" I whispered, slapping my face.
Twenty minutes later, on the dot, my doorbell rang. Sighing heavily, I pursed my lips together smoothing my shiny lip-gloss, as I walked down my long hallway and toward my front door. With a shaking hand, I grasped the door knob and opened the door. Shane stepped into the house, his eyes red, and his face flushed. He had never looked so hot in his entire life. I couldn't see the tears streaming down his face until he took off his read North Carolina hat. "Shane.." I whispered, touching his back and chest softly. He looked down at me, since he was much taller than I was, and smiled weakly.
"I knew it was coming..I knew it." he choked. Sadness filled every inch of my body, and I pulled him close to me.
"Why?" I asked. How could she do this to him? Shane. How could she break his heart like that..for Zac. I asked myself. Zac doesn't even love her..does he? the question popped into my head without warning. Shane's body shook against mine, and I almost cried for him. She is such a bitch!
"Zac. She said she loves Zac." he whispered into my neck. I held him closely for the longest time before either of us spoke again. "I knew it was coming..because I lost..I lost you to Taylor..," he paused, choking, "and now I lost Desiere to Zac." My breath stopped short, and my heart skipped 3 beats. I thought I had died. I pulled away from Shane, and made him look directly at me.
"You haven't lost me.." I whispered, resting my forehead against his. He sniffled and looked deep into my eyes.
"Amanda..." he trailed off..leaving my name hanging in the air. "You promise?" I nodded softly, and our lips lingered together for a few seconds, before I pulled away.
"I can't.." I replied emotionally. My heart was beating harder then it ever had, and my brain was swishing around in my stomach roughly. I had never felt this emotion before, and I didn't know what to do about it. Was I going to break this feeling by making him leave..or was I going to kiss him again, forcing myself to love him more then I ever imagined I could? I didn't know. "I will..only if..-" Shane cut me off, kissing me briefly.
"I won't tell. I promise." he said, taking my hand and making an X across my heart and his, then his kissed my fingertips. I sighed softly, as if I were releasing a heavy load off my chest. I pulled myself closer to him, and we kissed hard.
